2023-04-16 08:01:45Matilda's POV:
As I clung to Lucas in the branch of the sycamore tree, the darkness of the dense woods enveloped us. Our naked bodies pressed close, seeking comfort and solace in each other's arms. We had been caught in a moment of passion, but now we were hidden, waiting, listening.Footsteps approached, and my heart pounded in my chest. Lucas and I exchanged worried glances, our breaths coming out in shallow gasps. We strained our eyes to see through the darkness, and as the figure drew closer, I recognized him - Parrish, Lucas' friend.My grip on Lucas tightened as we watched in horror. Parrish was dragging a smaller guy by the scruff of his neck. I could barely make out the guy's face, battered and bruised from the blows Parrish was landing on him at intervals.Parrish suddenly transformed into his wolf form, his fur bristling with rage, and the smaller guy followed suit. The two wolves circled each other, growling and snarling, their eyes glRelated chapters

Veronica's POV:I saw Matilda heading in my direction and I couldn't stand the thought of acting inferior before her. I won't let her snatch Lucas from me. I walked up to her with a forceful smile on my face."Hi, Matilda, it's been a while," I said, stretching my hand for a handshake. She was taken aback by my sudden friendliness and stared at me in surprise. After a few minutes of hesitation, she composed herself and genuflected briefly."Your Highness," she greeted, bowing in respect."Where's the King?" I asked, looking at her with disdain. My intentions were simply to make her feel small and insignificant in every possible way. "He's in a meeting with Jason," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'd be on my way now if you don't mind.""Sure, you should leave right away," I retorted, stepping aside as she brushed past me in a hurry. "So you don't try to seduce the Prince again."She paused in her tracks

Veronica's POV:"Veronica, I've been waiting for this moment," he said softly. "You know how much you mean to me, and I would be honored to be your mate."Relief washed over me, and I couldn't help but smile back at him. His words filled me with a sense of reassurance and happiness."But, Veronica," Lucas continued, his tone serious. "I want you to be sure about this decision. It's not just about tradition or duty. It's about love, and being with someone who truly makes you happy."I appreciated his honesty and sincerity. I knew that Lucas cared for me deeply, and I had always felt a strong connection with him. But at the same time, I couldn't ignore the nagging doubt in the back of my mind."I understand, Lucas," I said softly. "I do care for you, but I want to be sure that our feelings are genuine and not just influenced by the expectations of the festival."Lucas nodded understandingly, and I could see the sincerity in his eye

Lucas POV:I hesitated for a moment before deciding to call Parrish. We hadn't talked since our last meeting, and I wanted to check in on him. As I dialed his number, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness. I didn't know what to expect from our conversation, but I knew I had to try."Hello?" Parrish answered on the other end."Hey, it's Lucas," I said. "How are you doing?""I'm hanging in there," he replied. "What's up?""I was thinking we should meet up and talk," I said. "Maybe at Sinema club?"Parrish hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Okay, let's do it. When are you thinking?""How about tonight?" I suggested."That works for me," Parrish said. "I'll see you there."As I made my way to the club, my nerves started to get the best of me. I wasn't sure what I was going to say to Parrish, but I knew I had to talk to him about Veronica.As I walked into the Sinema club, the dimly lit interior engulfed me in a haze of smoke and the scent of alcohol. I scanned the room, se

Veronica's POV:As I walked into the palace sitting room, I immediately sensed something was off. The Queen, Lucas, and Chloe were all huddled together, whispering in hushed tones. They looked up in surprise as I entered the room, and I could feel their eyes boring into me."What's going on?" I asked, trying to keep my tone light."Veronica, dear, we were just discussing some palace matters," the Queen said, trying to sound reassuring.I wasn't convinced. "Is everything alright?" I pressed, my heart beating a little faster.Lucas finally spoke up. "Veronica, let's go talk in your room."I nodded, grateful for the chance to speak to him alone. As we walked down the hallway, I couldn't help but feel a knot forming in my stomach. What could they have been talking about that they didn't want me to hear?Once we were in my room, I turned to face Lucas. "What's going on?" I asked again, my voice barely above a whisper.Lucas hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. "Veronica, I don't

Veronica's POV:Lucas slumped onto the bed beside me, panting heavily as sweat trickled down his face. I couldn't believe what I heard. He just called Matilda's name while cumming inside me."Lucas, have you had sex with Matilda before?" I asked, my voice rough with emotions.Lucas looked at me and sighed. He rubbed his temple and stared at the ceiling as though he was looking for the right words to say. "Yeah, just once. And that was a long time ago."I couldn't get myself to believe Lucas but I was desperately in love with him and I didn't want to lose him to another woman, especially Matilda.We lay on the bed, facing the ceiling as awkward silence wrapped around us. My mind was filled with the thought of the full moon festival. I can't wait to formally introduce Lucas as my mate in the presence of the entire pack members. I would be his Luna when he becomes the Lycan King. I smiled contentedly as I imagined the beautiful life filled w

Jason's POV:True to Henry's words, Veronica was in the Nightshade Pack. I was surprised to find Veronica Brooks- the same girl I rejected as my mate- standing in front of me. Not as a random human being but as a princess of the Nightshade - the biggest and strongest werewolf pack.Without thinking, I called her name without adding honorifics. She was taken aback by my words. It was as though she didn't recognize me or my parents. My mom and Dad on the other hand barely recognized her. She looked heavenly and breathtakingly beautiful - a sharp contrast to her former appearance.I'm sorry, have we met before?" She asked, trying to keep her tone neutral.My Dad glanced at me, his eyes shooting lasers at me and I quickly composed myself."I'm sorry, I guess I mistook you for someone else. I apologize," I said, bowing briefly.Veronica stood there staring at me, unsure of what to say. "Uh mmm. It's fine. I've met a handful of people who've mistaken me for someone else," she stuttered nervo

Veronica's POV: I walked into my room, feeling exhausted after giving Alpha Philip's family a tour of the palace. The grandeur of the palace never ceased to amaze me, but today it felt like a burden. As I looked at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but feel like a stranger in my own body. I carefully picked out the hairpins that held my hair in place, and letting my hair cascade over my shoulder, I heaved a sigh of defeat. The full moon festival was commencing in two days and I felt restless coupled with the fact that I barely see Lucas these days.I traced the contours of my face, trying to remember something, anything about my past. But all I could see was a blank canvas staring back at me. It was like my memory had been erased, leaving behind a shell of a person. Taking off my clothes, one piece at a time, I couldn't help but feel sad because of Lucas's actions earlier on. He ignored me like I didn't exist and it made me feel sad.My mind drifted to Jason- Alpha Philip's son

Jason's POV:"Jason, what are you doing here?" Lucas demanded, looking at me suspiciously.I was taken aback by his sudden appearance."What are you doing here?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.Lucas glared at me, his arms crossed over his chest. "I could ask you the same thing. What do you want with Veronica?"I hesitated, trying to come up with an excuse. "I just wanted to check on her. She didn't seem okay during dinner."Lucas snorted. "Right. Like you care about her."I felt my anger rising, but I knew I had to keep my cool. "What are you doing here, Lucas?"He smirked at me. "I live here, remember? Unlike you, I don't have to make excuses to be with Veronica."I gritted my teeth, feeling a surge of jealousy. "I'm not making excuses. I just want to talk to her."Lucas shook his head. "She doesn't want to talk to you. She made that pretty clear."Lucas eyed me skeptically, but thankfully Veronica spoke up. "It's okay, Lucas," she said. "Jason was just checking on me."I b

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. It was time to visit Crescent Pack and meet with Jason, to confront the feelings that had been tugging at my soul since the day of my coronation.As I stepped outside the palace, the cool breeze of the evening greeted me, carrying the scent of the forest and the promise of a new beginning.

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.

My body felt energized, ready to embrace the challenges that awaited me.I took a deep breath, the crisp scent of the forest filling my nostrils, and closed my eyes, allowing the sounds of nature to envelop me.

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. With a deep breath, I closed my eyes, surrendering myself to the forces coursing through my body. I felt a peculiar sensation as if an invisible force was pulling and molding my very being.

Waves of agony coursed through me, mingling with a strange mix of fear and exhilaration.
