The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter 23
Veronica's POV:I was surprised by Lucas' sudden kiss, the soft lips that seem to never have enough of mine. I was breathing fast as I shut my eyes and drowned in the pleasure that his lips provided, neglecting every other thing in the room. Suddenly he stopped and pulled his face away from mine, straightened his jacket, and said, "We have to leave now. Dr. Grooves is waiting". His voice was brutally cold and the boring look in his eyes resurfaced. He quickly walked to the door and left. I felt a pang of sadness draw at my wit's end as I turned to the mirror to adjust my dress.What did he mean by "He likes his woman pure and untouched?"Am I his woman? Did he develop feelings for me overnight?These thoughts plagued my mind as we drove silently to the hospital."Hey Lucas," Dr. Grooves greeted, smiling broadly as his face shone brightly like his crisp lab coat."Veronica, how're you doing?" He greeted me. "Good morning, Doc

Henry's POV:"Sorry, do I know you?" She asked, looking at me in confusion.I was both surprised and shocked at the same time. She still glows with her smiles "Yes, where have you been? Everyone has been looking for you." I asked her almost immediately."Uh mm. What? I'm sorry you must be mistaken for someone else" she said and began to walk away."Veronica, can you really not recognize me or you're feigning ignorance? Everyone has been looking for you at home" I asked, irritation churning in my gut.As I took her by the hand, I noticed three guys walking up to where I stood. I recognized Lucas, the Lycan King's son, and two others whose faces didn't ring a bell."Young Man, do you have any problem with her Highness?" The shorter one amongst the friends asked."First, take your filthy hands off my sister's body," Lucas roared with a stern look on his face. I slowly released Veronica's hand from my grip and she

Lucas POV:The drive back home was short and uneventful. Veronica sat beside me busy with her phone and silent throughout the drive. I was still in deep thought about what mum told me earlier."Why will dad do such a thing?" I thought to myself. I have been trying my best to prove to my dad that I can lead the pack as the Alpha, Veronica on the other hand cannot even shapeshift. "Why will dad think she will make a good Luna?"I turned and stole a look at Veronica, there was a hatred for her rising inside me as I watched her drown herself with some videos on her phone. Mum was right, I knew my dad very well, once his mind is made up on something, no one can change it. Even the moon goddess will need a miracle to change my father's mind. I had to go along with her plan.Seducing Veronica was not going to be a hard task for me. The poor girl was already in love with me, all I needed to do was play on those feelings.I pulled o

Malia's POV:Immediately I and Tyler got back from the meeting we had with Philip Perry, the Alpha of the Crescent Pack. I went into my room, took a shower, and dressed in a handmade gown. Tyler had some political issues to discuss with the pack's council members so he left the palace almost immediately. I brought out my phone from my purse and dialed Lucas' number, he picked up the third ring."I need you to come back as quick as you can, we have a situation—" I began hastily but he quickly interrupted before I could explain why I called."Alright mom," he said and the line went dead. I paced around the large study room, anxiety crawling over my skin as I shuddered at the thought of the day's events.I and Tyler had gotten to the Crescent Pack and the Alpha welcomed us warmly and introduced us to his family. The last time we visited Crescent Pack was seventeen years ago, during the mating season. My worst fear was coming to pass as I watched

Lucas POV:"I want you to teach me how to fight," she said, her eyes intense.I couldn't believe what I was hearing when Veronica asked me to teach her how to fight. I mean, she's a princess, for crying out loud! I thought to myself."Lucas, please," Veronica said, looking up at me with her big, pleading eyes. "I just want to know how to defend myself in case something happens."I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Veronica, I understand your concern, but you're a princess. You shouldn't be fighting anyone. Besides, you have guards to protect you."Veronica's expression turned stubborn, and I knew she wasn't going to take no for an answer. "I'm not asking to learn how to fight to go out and start trouble, Lucas. I just want to be prepared in case something happens. Please, I need your help."I shook my head, feeling torn. On the one hand, I understood where she was coming from, but on the other hand, I didn't want to encour

Lucas POV:"But I want it. I can't resist you anymore, Lucas" she pleaded, her eyes searching for mine. I heaved a sigh.I knew this was my perfect opportunity to seduce her but I knew I shouldn't rush things so I don't come off as desperate."Veronica, I can't. You're my sister and we shouldn't be doing this. I'm sorry for kissing you earlier," I said as I stood up but Veronica's hand pulled on my elbow, forcing me to stop in my tracks."I'm in love with you, Lucas. I know it doesn't make sense but that is how I feel," she pleaded as tears began to well up at the corners of her eyes."Vee, you're my sister. It is absolutely wrong for us to be in a sexual relationship besides dad has visited the Crescent Pack and sent an invitation to the members of the Crescent Pack so they can come to our pack during the full moon festival. That way you can find a mate who you'll eventually learn to love," I explained, feigning care."I don't w

Veronica's POV:My heart stopped beating briefly as I stared at the door and back at Lucas. I was sopping wet in between my legs and my core still throbbed with the pleasure that Lucas gave. He turned to me and motioned me to get dressed as he quickly stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.I quickly threw on my clothes, trying to make myself presentable, while Lucas pretended to be closing the first aid box. I took a deep breath and opened the door, praying that my father wouldn't suspect anything."What is going on here?" my father demanded, his voice filled with curiosity.I tried to play it cool, even though I was shaking with nerves. "Oh, hey, Dad. Lucas was just helping me with my training. I sustained a minor injury while we were practicing sword fighting."My father's face darkened. "Sword fighting? Veronica, you know better than that. You are a princess, not a warrior."Lucas quickly spoke up, t

Lucas POV:I paced back and forth in my room, my heart racing and my mind in turmoil. My dad had almost caught me making out with Veronica, and now I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and shame. As I struggled to calm down, my thoughts wandered to Matilda, even though she isn't my mate, it still felt like I just cheated on her. What have I done?Suddenly, I heard a loud noise coming from my dad's study room. I froze for a moment, wondering what could have happened. Then, I heard a loud scream, and my instincts kicked in. I ran to the study room, my heart pounding in my chest.When I got there, I found Veronica on the floor, her face pale and her eyes wide with shock. My dad was lying on the ground next to her, his face contorted in pain."Dad!" I yelled, rushing to his side. "What happened?"Veronica shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I don't know," she said. "We were talking, and then he just collapsed."I che

The Alpha's Rejected Mate Epilogue
As I stood there, my heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and trepidation, I noticed them – my foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brooks, and my long-lost brother, Henry, standing among the crowd. It had been years since I last saw them, and I never imagined I would reunite with them under these circumstances. But there they were, their faces etched with a blend of emotions, just like mine.As I reached them, my foster mother, Mrs. Brooks, was the first to react. Her eyes welled up with tears, and before I knew it, she was in my arms, hugging me tightly. "Veronica, my dear girl," she choked out, her voice trembling with emotion. "We never stopped thinking about you, never stopped loving you. We're so sorry for what happened."Tears welled up in my eyes too, but I quickly blinked them away. "I know, Mom," I whispered, using the title that had always felt right for her. "I understand. Life had its way of pulling us apart, but I'm here now, and that's what matters."My foster father, Mr

Veronica's POV:The palace corridor stretched before me, its grandeur a constant reminder of the responsibilities that now rested on my shoulders as the Luna of Nightshade pack. Yet, despite the regal surroundings, an uneasiness gnawed at my heart, a magnetic pull I could not ignore. The mate bond with Jason, my first mate and Alpha of Crescent pack, was too powerful to suppress any longer.With a deep breath, I made my decision.

Veronica's POV: As Malia lay crumpled on the floor, her once formidable presence reduced to a broken figure, a solemn silence fell over the throne room. The weight of her actions hung heavy in the air, and the kingdom braced itself for the consequences that awaited her.My father, Tyler, the lycan king, stood tall and resolute, his voice ringing out with authority. "Malia," he declared, his tone laced with disappointment, "you have betrayed the trust of this kingdom and tarnished the honor of our bloodline. Your actions have brought pain and darkness upon this kingdom. For your crimes against the crown and its people, henceforth, you are stripped of your royal title and sentenced to the dungeons."Malia's once haughty demeanor had crumbled along with her monstrous form. She lay on the floor, broken and humbled by the events that had transpired. "Take her away," my father commanded.With his command, the guards swiftly moved forward, their grip firm as they encircled Malia and hoiste

Veronica's POV:The lycan king turned to Malia, his gaze piercing and stern. "Malia, you will have the opportunity to defend yourself, to address these accusations. But if they are proven true, there will be consequences.""Yes," I interjected, my voice steady but resolute. "I have proof, Father. I have gathered evidence, witnesses who can testify to the truth of my words."With a determined expression on my face, I turned to Melissa, my trusted lady-in-waiting, and beckoned her forward. With a graceful step forward, Melissa presented a small voice recorder in her hands, its sleek design gleaming under the palace's golden light. I held my breath, knowing that the contents of that recorder held the key to unraveling the web of deceit that had ensnared us for far too long.Turning to the lycan king, I spoke with unwavering resolve, my voice projecting strength and conviction. "Father, it is time to shed light on the darkest corners of our kingdom. Melissa has captured conversations, con

Veronica's POV:I could swear that Lucas was beyond shocked to see me standing before him. The look on his face resembled that of one who had seen a ghost just a few minutes ago."Vee… is… is that really you?" Lucas stammered as the expression on his face shifted from shock to a mixture of curiosity and disbelief. A victorious smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I drew near, and leaned in close to Lucas, my voice a mere whisper that only he could hear. "I've returned to reclaim the throne," I breathed, a touch of mischief dancing in my eyes.The words hung in the air, a challenge wrapped in intrigue. Lucas's expression flickered between astonishment and intrigue, the weight of the revelation sinking in. I could almost taste the anticipation that radiated off him, mingling with the lingering sparks of our past.But before our silent exchange could continue, the grand doors of the throne room swung open, revealing the imposing figure of Tyler, the lycan king, accompanied by Malia

Lucas' POV:I walked briskly through the corridors of the palace, my mind preoccupied with the matters discussed during the council meeting. The council meeting had just concluded, and I was making my way toward the solitude of my royal chambers when I heard my mother's voice calling out to me."Lucas, dear, we need to talk," she said, her tone both gentle and firm. I turned around, my brows furrowing in confusion, and walked back to where she stood."Of course. What is it, Mother?" I asked, curiosity tinged with a hint of confusion. There was a seriousness in her eyes that made me wonder what could be so important.She smiled warmly. "Let us talk in the privacy of the royal chambers. There's something we need to address."She motioned for me to follow her, and we made our way to the familiar doors of the royal chambers. As we entered, the air grew still, and the air of the room seemed to grow thick. I took a seat, my mother joining me, her expression composed yet filled with a sense

Draco stood by, watching quietly, his eyes betraying a tinge of sadness as he observed me gathering our things.I folded a few clothes and placed them neatly in the suitcase, my mind racing with memories of our time together in this cozy home. It had been a place of solace and love, where Draco and I had built a beautiful life for ourselves and Zoey.Draco's voice broke the silence, filled with a mix of longing and restraint. "Veronica, are you sure about this? Leaving everything behind?"I turned to face him, a bittersweet smile gracing my lips. "Draco, I've thought long and hard about this decision. It's not easy, but I can't ignore the call of my responsibilities any longer. The palace is where I belong and it's about time I go back and reclaim ownership of the throne."His gaze softened as he reached out, his hand brushing a

At that moment, I knew I had tapped into a power I had never before experienced.Before my very eyes, my human form began to shift and contort.
