I've been so worried about you."Confusion engulfed me and questions swirled in my mind, threatening to overwhelm me."What... what am I doing here?" I managed to stammer, my voice betraying my bewilderment.My mom, her voice filled with tenderness, spoke up. "Veronica, my dear, there's so much we need to explain. But first, we're just grateful that you're awake and safe."Her words only fueled my curiosity, and my need for answers. "Safe? Why wouldn't I be safe? And why am I in the palace? Who are all these people?"But what caught my attention was the figure standing beside them—the regal man who exuded an air of authority and familiarity."B-but... you... you're the king?" I stammered, my voice barely above a whisper.The man nodded, a mixture of pride and sadness in his eyes. "Yes, Veronica. I am your biological father, the king. I kno

I could sense the collective shock and remorse that reverberated through the room.The king, his face lined with sorrow, finally broke the silence.

Draco's POV:The moonlight bathed the forest in an ethereal glow as I wandered through the thick woods, relishing the tranquility of the night. The air was cool and carried with it the faint scent of pine and damp earth. It was a perfect night for a stroll, as far as a vampire like me could appreciate such things.As I made my way through the dense woods, my keen senses detected a peculiar sound cutting through the stillness of the night. The rhythmic pounding of footsteps. Intrigued, I halted my steps and peered ahead, my crimson eyes scanning the shadows. And then, like a ghostly apparition, she appeared.A young woman with flowing chestnut hair, sprinted through the woods with a sense of urgency, her eyes wide with fear.

Lucas' POV:I paced back and forth across the intricately woven Persian rug in the palace living room, my steps echoing through the opulent space. My heart thudded against my chest, anxiety bubbling within me like a tempest ready to erupt. Veronica's sudden disappearance had blindsided me, leaving me in a state of shock and remorse. The weight of my own actions pressed heavily upon me, gnawing at my conscience."Where could she have gone?" I muttered to myself, my voice barely audible. The ornate walls seemed to close in on me, suffocating me with their grandeur. The room, once a place of respite, now held an air of uncertainty that hung thick in the air.Just as despair threatened to consume me, a gentle hand rested on my shoulder. I turned to see my mother, the queen, standing beside me. Her face was etched with concern, lines of wisdom and grace.

Lucas' POV:It's been over two months since Veronica's disappearance which led to my coronation as the crowned prince and the heir to the throne. The search for Veronica has been long forgotten as each day brings nothing but futile results. The king slowly began to detach from everyone.

Veronica's POV:It's been over two months since I ran away from the palace. And as the days stretched into weeks, a melancholic cloud settled over my heart, covering the once vibrant hues of my existence. The forest, once a sanctuary filled with hope and freedom, now mirrored the sorrow within me. I sat in my room, its walls adorned with flickering candlelight, casting dancing shadows that mimicked the ache in my heart. The wooden floor creaked beneath my weight as I paced, the hollow echoes resonating through the empty space. The plate of untouched food before me spoke volumes, a result of emptiness that consumed me. As I sat by the window, raindrops streaking down the glass pane, memories of betrayal and deception replayed in my mind like a haunting melody. The news of Lucas, my former lover, being crowned as the heir to the throne pierced my soul, each word a cruel reminder of the role I had unknowingly played in his twisted game.

Draco's POV:Her words hung heavy in the air, mingling with the pitter-patter of raindrops. I studied her, my gaze scanning her delicate frame. Veronica was a princess, sheltered and cherished, but now a different kind of fire burned within her."Veronica," I began, my tone gentle but firm, "Learning to fight is a path wrought with danger. You're carrying new life within you, and I cannot bear the thought of placing you and your child at risk." My gaze rested on her slightly swollen belly.Veronica's eyes widened, a flicker of defiance briefly passing through them. "But Draco, I cannot remain helpless forever. I want to protect myself and my child. Please, consider my request."My heart ached at her plea, understanding the strength she sought to embrace. However, my duty as a protector compelled me to safeguard her, even from her desires."Veronica, you are a princess," I responded softly, my voice tinged with concern. "Your role is to nurture and guide, not to engage in physical comb

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.

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.

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.
