VeraCan you imagine the enormous pain ripping through my heart? My chosen mate and my second chance mate were sitting in the same hall with me and they gave no damn about me. Rather, they were hurting me. One was oblivious of our bond while the other dished out hatred.I remained there, serving Blake as instructed. As I bent over, I felt the heat of his breath. I never thought I could feel such again, but here it was. It was real but jinxed, mixed with hatred. Not only his breath but his eyes too. They shot daggers at me, crushing my heart. Nervously and hastily, I finished serving and I bowed a little. I wanted to escape his presence, it was killing me. As I began to rise, I felt a tap on the table and it was as if time stopped."You wretch! Your father started all this! Even after death, we couldn't stop him. His men killed my father!" Blake gritted and the plate of soup on his table flew into the air and emptied on my face.Laura shrieked irritatedly. "Pathetic bitch! I thought y
VeraI lay sprawled on the floor of my room in pain. I had washed my face and gotten rid of the mess, but my eyes were still sore. They hurt so bad that I could hardly keep them open or close. Apart from my eyes, my body ached badly and my heart bled. Seeing Blake and Laura together broke my heart into a million pieces. The memory of my rejection and scorn replayed in my head, it hurt like it was just happening. Tears flowed freely down my eyes, and I regretted my decision to appear at the hall. I wanted to impress someone but I got battered instead, I should have remained in my room. If I had stayed in my room, I would have avoided the heartbreak.As I dozed into oblivion I overheard the maids' gossip. It seemed that the meeting didn't end well and I wondered what could have gone wrong.I was already asleep when my door flung open. Before I could open my eyes, two strong arms grabbed my shoulders. They jerked me off the floor and began to drag me out.My sleepiness vanished and I b
Vera"Vera!" A familiar voice called, breaking me out of my pain. Dimly, I saw the frame of a man. I couldn't make out his face but he was calling my name and running towards me. Who could it be? Fred? No way…. I was still lying on the floor somewhere within Alpha Joash's chambers. Fred can't be here."Vera Clams! Stay with me! I've got you… it's me! It's me, Fred. Stay with me!" He yelled and squatted beside me. "Who the hell did this to you!?" He grunted.Now, that was typical of Fred. He cussed under his breath and with one hand, he pulled the edges of my torn cloth together. He slid the other arm beneath me and scooped me into his arms. "Beta Derrick sent me to get you… I've got you… and it's okay," he whispered and carried me out of the premises.When I woke up, it was a new day. I was at the pack's clinic and my face was heavy with bandages plastered here and there."Nice to have you back. It's good to be alive," Fred said, trying to sound comical. I tried to smile but every m
VeraWalking out of the office, I met Pete, she was waiting by the door. Without blinking or greeting, I brushed past her, storming away like a wind."I told you to leave already," Pete yelled."Tell that to your brother who summoned me to resume!" I gritted and walked away without another glance at her.My destination was unclear and I just kept walking. All that I read in the letters was visible in my head as I walked. I began to doubt my father. I tried to think down memory lane, trying to remember if I had any suspicion about him, but it was all blank, there was nothing. He was a trustworthy and loyal servant to Alpha Simpson. The only thing that stood out was his excessive worries about the instability of the pack which was caused by Alpha Simpson's capabilities. My Father usually discussed the susceptibility of the pack to various attacks with my mother. A man of such concern cannot betray his pack.They were all fabricated! There is no way my father will do all of that! I yel
VeraI had a mission; to steal some of my father's letters from Alpha Joash's cabinet. I couldn't sleep all night. As soon as it was dawn, I rose to my feet and began to prepare for the day. Thankfully, I will be the first in the office so it was a done deal.As usual, I greeted the guard stationed outside the office and made my way in swiftly. Without much ado, I went straight to Alpha Joash's cabinet. The first problem was how to unlock the cabinet. I didn't notice the code when he opened it the previous day. But I wasn't deterred.I marched towards the cabinet with determination. Without knowing what to do, I pushed the door lightly and to my surprise, it flung open.I was taken aback but I didn't back off. My father's chest was sitting in a corner of the upper part of the cabinet. The crack on it was still visible. I dragged it forward and lifted the cover. It was also unlocked. The letters were neatly arranged inside the chest.Carefully, I pulled out the chest and flicked out a
VeraI thought I had seen it all. What the heck is he planning to do with me again? At this rate, I might just drop dead. I stopped in my tracks and turned around with trepidation. Hands folded behind, head buried in pain. I took baby steps towards him.I stood in front of him but he didn't give me any attention nor did he say anything. I remained on my feet, hurting badly. My lips began to swell and blood drained slowly from my cuts, staining the floor.Is this another way he wanted to punish me? I wish I could look straight into his eyes and tell him how I feel.I was feeling weak but I remained on my feet waiting for the next order. I was feeling it, I knew that I could slum at any time, but I wanted to see how far I could go. I will see this to the end.Suddenly, the door opened behind me and a familiar voice boomed into my ears."Your Highness. Dr Fred Dante reporting in your presence," the intruder said and I froze. I had felt his scent before he spoke up.Fred walked past me a
VeraThe sun had peaked when I walked out of the office. I grunted and blinked hard as its rays penetrated my eyes and my bandaged lips. My strength was failing and I dangled here and there. I hadn't taken many steps before I tripped. I began to crash down but the guard outside the office held me up. "Are you alright?" He asked as he helped me to a seat. I couldn't answer him as my pain and dizziness got a larger part of me. I became drowsy and it felt like I was in a trance."What the heck are you still doing here!? I told you to get out of here! I don't want to see you!" Alpha Joash's voice boomed into my ears and I sprang to my feet."Yes, No sir…" I slurred."Are you alright? Should I call a maid?" The guard's concerned voice filled my ears and I opened my eyes. I held him and looked around, Alpha Joash was not in sight. I just had an illusion.I sighed in relief and forced myself to concentrate. With eyes wide open, and glittering legs, I ran far away from the office.I was sup
Vera"I am sorry… I can't do…" I slurred but the man grabbed my arm and with an enormous force, he flung me away. I landed a few distance from him and within a twinkle of an eye he was standing before me again."You are sorry because you can't do it? Don't you get it? You don't have a choice here!" The man yelled. He dragged me up again and glared ferociously into my eyes. I knew there was no second chance for me.A rattling noise filled the air. Within a twinkle of an eye, it graduated from a low noise to a loud noise. The man began to shift. I was about to be gored by an angry wolf. I felt an adrenaline rush in my blood, it drowned my weakness for a moment and my energy spiked like liquid hot lava.Either in my human form or wolf form, I didn't stand a chance against him. So I didn't care to shift. I just stood there with his minions closing in on me. Their swords were set before them and I wondered why they were doing this. Just one of them could snap my neck and it would be over.
