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. He'd spend hours alone in his grand study and only come out during breakfast or dinner. I began handling most political affairs of the palace and even though it made me feel happy and fulfilled, a part of me still misses my father's presence.

The once vibrant corridors now echoed with a melancholic silence, as if mourning the absence of their beloved princess. The palace servants moved about their tasks with subdued steps, their faces etched with sorrow and regret.

    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. My hands trembled, clenching into fists, as ange

    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

    Veronica's POV:I felt indebted to Draco. He saved me when I was on the verge of being dragged back to those despicable walls of royalty that held so many secrets and deceit. I can easily say that I owe Draco my life but I would not stand again as being pampered because of my status of being a princess. I must learn how to fight and defend myself and my unborn child. My plans were simple. Learn how to fight and become a formidable force that neither Jason nor Lucas can easily beat. Return back to the Nightshade pack and reclaim the throne that rightfully belonged to me.But my first plan of learning how to fight was becoming a mere daydream as Draco would not let me train to become a fighter.

As I took the last bite of the pancakes, I pushed the plate to the side and trudged back to my room without sparing Draco another glan

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.
