TWO WEEKS LATERAs the cock crowed, Veronica's eyes slowly opened, but she immediately shut her eyes because of the little ray of sunlight, shining through the slight opening in the curtains, right into her eyes.She adjusted her sleeping position, and remained still on her bed for a short moment. She opened her eyes again, and gently rubbed her heavy eyes. She checked the time and it was a few minutes before 7am.Her eyes drifted away from the clock to the ceiling and she kept staring at the ceiling as the thought of going back to sleep filled her mind.She yawned loudly, and stretched her body.“Today, I don't feel like doing anything. I just want to sleep in.” She said to herself, as she pulled her duvet over her head, and went back to sleep.Just a few minutes later, her phone chimed, but she was too tired to pick it up to check who she got a message from.She had stayed up late the previous night because she had a lot on her mind. She didn't know why but memories of her life in h
Seeing that it was indeed Trey, Veronica fearfully took a few steps backwards, away from him.Noticing her reaction, he knew that she possibly knew him, and so he got up from the bed.“Oh, you know me already?” He asked her, his tone, menacing.“What makes you think so?” Veronica asked him. Her heart, beating fast, not sure of what she should have said. “I don't know you.” She blurted out.“Oh really?” He asked mockingly, taking a step towards her.“Yes.” She lied, slowly retreating.He laughed hysterically. “Why does your expression say otherwise?” He queried her. “You don't look like you're seeing me for the first time.” He stated the obvious, making her more uncomfortable.“That's not true.” Veronica insisted, and he laughed again.“You’re saying something, but your actions say otherwise.” He said, “What do you mean?” She asked him and instead of responding, he took a couple of steps forward, making her take steps backwards instinctively.“There you go.” He said, proving his point
SILVER MIST PACKThe Silver mist pack bustled with festivities, the people were gathered together, eating, drinking, laughing and jesting. It was a beautiful sight to behold, the atmosphere was a beautiful one too. It was obvious, everyone was happy because at long last, the Alpha King finally had a child to call theirs after so many years of waiting. Although, it wasn't a male pup as the people thought it would be, but whether male or female, a child will always be a child. The dancers danced as loud music was blasting through the speakers and the people moved their bodies to the rhythm while cheering the dancers who danced tirelessly. Wolves from different parts of the pack trooped in, in their hundreds and thousands, to felicitate with the Alpha and Luna. Some were truly happy while some came to see if it was true that the Luna had finally given the Alpha, a child. Murmurs could be heard from different corners but no one dared to speak ill, out loud, of the Alpha's family. It wa
EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER(SUN CREST PACK)“Beck, where are we going?” Veronica asked, feeling tired already, “We've been walking for hours now, and the full moon festival is about to start.”“We're almost there, it's not really far anymore.” He said, still walking further into the woods.They kept walking for twenty more minutes until he stopped walking and turned to look at her, who was already exhausted, “Is this where…where we are going?” She stuttered.“Well, I don't know.” He responded.“What? What do you mean you don't know? We've been walking for an hour and a half, and you're saying you don't know where we are going?” She said, almost screaming.“ Well, I mean, yes.” He finally answered.“You are really something, so what are we doing here?” Veronica asked him.“ You know I love you, right? And I will always love you.” He began.“ Yes, I do, and I love you too, but that doesn't give enough explanation for us to be out in the woods this late.” She said, looking around.He didn't sa
Veronica didn't know what to call the emotions she was feeling towards Beck at that moment. She was mad at him, she was sad about the things he said to her. She also wanted to go and help him with the pain, but at the same time, she just wanted him to suffer more pain than she was feeling.Instead of using the front door, she went through the back door because of the other omegas that hadn't left for the Moon festival and Kiera. “If they saw me like this, they would make me explain what had happened.” She thought to herself as she sneaked in through the back door.She thought about it for a while and decided to go back into the woods. The pain of the mate bond was killing her, so she couldn't think well. She didn't want anyone to see her like that, so she ran into the nearest woods.Not thinking straight, she kept running in whatever direction her legs took her. She didn't know for how long she was running until she came to a stop after hearing a growl coming from the woods.At first
"The pain of the broken mate bond is tougher than I thought," Beck said to himself.He tried standing up but fell almost immediately, “I am going to be the Alpha of this pack in less than three days, I can't be this weak because of a broken mate bond.” He told himself as he began to try to get up again.He forced himself to stand up and sucked in the pain. He took a couple of steps and almost fell down but held on to the nearest tree he could touch.The walk to the pack house was quite far because he had to get Veronica to a place where no one would see or hear him rejecting her and now it had blown back in his face, because he had to walk a very long journey before he could get back to the pack house.He endured the pain throughout the walk and began thinking of how his Father and Blue, his sister, would react to what he had just done. Well, his father would most definitely have nothing to say, while Blue, his little sister, on the other hand, would be so glad. She didn't like Veroni
Pain, that was the first thing Veronica made sense of. “Ouch! My head hurts, what happened?” She asked no one in particular.She tried lifting her right hand to touch her forehead but noticed that she couldn't feel her arm.“ What's this? I can't feel my arm. Come to think of it, I can't feel my body, I can't feel anything, except for the pain in my head.” She thought to herself as different conversations kept flooding her mind.“ Did I hit my head hard on the floor when I fell?” Was I supposed to feel pain when I lost my mortal body?” She asked herself, with the lowest voice possible, making it impossible for anyone to hear her, except for the movements on her lips.She tried to open her eyes but her vision was blurry, but after a couple more blinks, she could see clearly. She noticed the white ceiling and then looked around the room. It was painted in white and yellow, with the yellow shining almost brighter than the sun and the white, as snow.“ The afterworld sure is beautiful. Ve
It had now been a week since Beck rejected Veronica and no one knew about it except her, Beck and Kiera. Kiera wanted to confront Beck about it, but Veronica begged her not to because he didn't know that she knew about it.“ Wow, what a lovely day to sleep and not wake up for a while,” Kiera said, looking up at the sky, as they passed by the children's park.“ What do you mean by that? Don't ever say that, please. If you go, who would I talk to or where would I find anyone who would listen to me complain about everything all day long?” Veronica snapped at her.“ Relax Vee, I'm not going anywhere, at least, not anytime soon, silly,” Kiera said, laughing. “It was just a harmless joke.”“A harmless joke? Really? Who jokes with something as serious as death?” Veronica snapped at her again.“Hey, chill. I never said anything about dying.” Kiera replied.“To sleep and not wake up means what?” Veronica asked her, obviously angry.
Seeing that it was indeed Trey, Veronica fearfully took a few steps backwards, away from him.Noticing her reaction, he knew that she possibly knew him, and so he got up from the bed.“Oh, you know me already?” He asked her, his tone, menacing.“What makes you think so?” Veronica asked him.

“We?” Scott questioned with a raised eyebrow.“Of course ‘we’, or wait a minute, were you guys actually planning to do this behind my back?” She asked with a frown.“Of course not. I didn't want any form of celebration. In fact, Steve just got to know fear minutes ago. Only Scott knew about it.” Veronica explained to Megan.“Hmmmmm.” Megan muttered, her tone noncommittal and her expression neutral. “Are you sure?” She asked.Before Veronica could answer, Steve spoke up in her defense. “Yes, everything she said is true. I just got to know about it a few minutes before you walked in.” He confirmed.Megan nodded, obviously not convinced.“I didn't expect anything else.” She muttered and Steve frowned.“What does that mean?” Steve asked, trying to understand the reason for her statement.“It's nothing.” She smiled, and looked away.“Anyway, what do you guys think we should do?” She asked, and Veronica sighed hopelessly.“Actually, like I said, I don't want to celebrate. I just want to be
It had now been a year since Veronica left her previous pack and had begun to live in the Fire Dawn pack. Although it had not really been a very smooth sail so far, especially with the different hiccups here and there during her early stay in the pack, she was thankful that she at least had a roof over her head, and a few friends who she loved dearly.Just as promised, Alpha Marcus provided a house for her, where she stayed alone and had visitors like Scott, who wouldn't leave until his parents forced him to go home with them sometimes, but other times, they would just leave him with her for days until he was ready to go back to them, because they were sure he was in good hands.And of course, Steve. He sure wouldn't go a day without coming to visit her no matter how busy he got. He would sometimes go on evening walks with her and Scott round the pack’s park.Even after he had finally expressed his feelings towards her and she had told him that she wasn't ready for a relationship, he
“No one is answering. What do we do, Megan?” Veronica cried out with a panicked voice.“I don't know. I'm confused. I know it's soundproof, but I didn't know it would be to this extent.” She voiced her worries. “At this rate no one will know we are here.” “What!” Veronica exclaimed in shock. “We have to get out of here.”“I know, but what do we do? We can't get out of here on our own.” Megan replied, almost giving up.“Then we have to do something.” Veronica said desperately.“What do we do?” Megan asked, confused.“Your phone. Is it here?” Veronica asked. “We can call your dad and tell him we're stuck here.” She suggested.“My phone is not here. I'm yet to collect it and my other gadgets from my dad. Although, he was ready to give them to me, but you know, I doubt that would even be possible anymore because of what happened.” Megan replied, sounding disappointed in herself.An idea suddenly popped in Veronica’s mind. “You know his number by heart, right?” She asked.“Yes, I do. Why
Right after Veronica’s revelation, Megan suddenly became quiet, and she stood frozen on a spot like a statue. She couldn't believe her ears. It was like her hearing was playing a quick one on her.Veronica, who still had her eyes closed, opened one eye slowly to see Megan's reaction to what she had just said. Seeing her reaction, she repeated, “Steve is alive. He is not dead.”As soon as Veronica repeated it, Megan snapped out of her silent zone. It was as if she needed to hear it for a second time before her mind came back from where it traveled to. She asked Veronica slowly, “Are you joking? Are you trying to mess with me?”“No, I'm not. I'm telling the truth. He is alive. The Doctor announced it to us right before I left and came searching for you.” Veronica answered her, explaining a bit of all that happened to Megan.“Oh my goodness!” Megan fell to her knees. “Thank you moon goddess.” She cried in gratitude, and Veronica bent to the ground too.”“I was worried sick about you. Yo
Veronica could feel her heart beating fast in her chest, like it was threatening to fall out of her chest. Luckily for her, she still had her phone in her hand, and so she hurriedly turned her phone's flashlight on, and quickly approached the door.She gently twisted the door handle, but to her surprise it didn't open. It seemed like it was locked and stuck.“Oh no. I'm stuck here.” She began to panic.She grabbed the handle one more time, and forcefully began to pull it, but it just wouldn't budge.“Damn, I'm in big trouble.” She thought to herself, as she began to sweat.“Help! Help me! Is someone there? Is anybody out there? Please, I'm stuck in this place. Help me.” She screamed out loud.She paused for a short moment, and rested her ears on the door, hoping for a response from anyone outside the room.After waiting in silence for a few seconds, and hearing nothing from the other side of the door, she increased her voice, yelling louder, her voice, breaking as she kept screaming f
“I was more shocked than the both of you are right now, when I heard it.” Councillor Maxwell said to the already shocked men.“No way. That's some serious issue there. I never expected to hear something like this. I mean, I've always known her to be quite a handful, but not to this extent. I didn't see this coming at all.” Beta Richard voiced his concerns.Beta Richard knew Megan to be someone who wasn't too laid back, but very outspoken. So if he was told that she did something else, he wouldn't be too surprised or bothered about it.But doing something as serious as almost leading her best friend to the brink of death, was something he didn't think she could do. Not in a million years did he imagine it could ever happen.“I just hope this doesn't get her into too much trouble with Alpha Marcus.” He soliloquized.“I hope so too.” The doctor muttered, while Megan's dad remained seated, not uttering any word.“I have to go now. I have other patients to attend to, but I'll let you know
The doctor was taken aback. For a moment, he looked confused. He didn't not understand what was going on. He wasn't sure of what part of his words threw Megan into such anguish and devastation.Unable to take the pain anymore, Megan got up and raced out of the hospital, wailing. Veronica was about to run after her, when Megan's dad stopped her.“Please leave her alone for now.” Councillor Maxwell said, and Veronica stepped aside.Trying to figure it all out, the doctor's brows furrowed as his eyes scanned the expression of all of them, and at that moment, it clicked!“Oh my goodness!” He exclaimed. “That's not what I meant, please. He is NOT dead!” He announced, almost screaming.Hearing the doctor's words, their expressions changed and they exchanged confused glances.“Are you being serious, doctor?” Councillor Maxwell asked him, with mixed feelings.He wasn't sure if the doctor said what he just said to try to make them feel a bit , or because he actually meant what he said.“Yes, I
