Bastein's POV My eyes snap open, staring at the ceiling of the hotel room, it's been 3 weeks that I've stayed in this room, I'm up to 7 bottles of whiskey a night, but I've stayed out of fights so that's a plus. Seeing her did something to me, my heart aches worse every day, my mind replays snippets of our time together and always ends on the vision on her wrapped around another Alpha. I look around the room and the smell sicken me, stale cigarettes and booze, I drag my body out of the bed. I open the door to the hotel room and nearly vomit, the sun hits me bright and hot, "I can't do this anymore, I need to see her, I need to make this right, I need her to reject me, I'll take that pain over this any day." I shut the door and head to the shower, wash my hair, beard and body, I step out wrapping the towel around my hips and brush my teeth. I towel my hair dry, then get dressed, I grab some of the empty bottles and walk to the dumpster and throw them out, after 5 trips they we
Veronica's POV 12It's been a week and I'm going bonkers here, I grab my phone and call Roe, she answers on the 3rd ring, "Hi sunshine, how's the tracking going?"I sigh, "not good, I was in an accident and.." I don't get another word out before she laughs her ass off. "Uhm, yea, I'm good, no broken bones or anything thanks for the concern," I say sarcastically.She chuckles, "sorry, sorry, I'm just thinking of how he's going to react to his car, are you sure you’re ok?" I snort at her, "yup, all good, the car isn't, not only is it going to take another week, but about $8,000 to fix."I can just imagine her face, her eyes going wide as she blows out a breath, I hear the swoosh of air, "WOW, so your Dad going to pay it right?"I scoff, "well yea, I mean it's not like I'm working and he is the Alpha, we can afford it, as a matter of fact, I'm thinking of buying a motorcycle and getting the hell out of here, I can travel quicker and blend into the sort of places he's hanging out in any
Bastien's POV I've road twice from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans looking for my mate, after 3 more months I still couldn't find her, finally I drove to NY. I got to the boarder of the Silver Moon pack and asked about entrance to see Alpha Stephen. I waited an hour before a green Hummer came towards the gates, Alpha Stephen stepped out of the car and walked to the gates. I nodded to him, "Alpha Stephen, I'm Bastein Carter Bronx.,"He held up his hand, "I know who you are Alpha heir Bastein, what I don't know is why you are here?"I swallowed the lump in my throat as I looked into his icy blue eyes, "I need an audience with you and your Luna about something very private, something you may not be happy about, but I hope you'll hear me out"He cocked a brow at me, "hmm, interesting," he waved me in and walked to his car, he opened the passenger side and walked to the driver’s side and slid in. I jumped in the passenger side and shut the door. He turned the car around heading in
Veronica's POV When I stepped out of the car in the parking lot, I could only scent supernaturals, I walked into the bar a man greeted me, "welcome Alpha, would you like a table?" A bitter laugh rolled out my lips, "no, bar is fine." He followed me to the bar, I sat at the end with my back against the wall. The female behind the bar turned and walked with grace towards me, her hair was long and black as night braided over one shoulder, her violet eyes where mesmerizing, her flawless skin sun kissed and wore a lavender see threw dress, showing everything she owned. I gulped as she got nearer, lines appeared on her forehead as she eyed me, she grabbed a bottle of blue liquid from the shelf behind her and poured it into a shot glass, her lips were pink and her teeth white as snow as she smiled at me, "Happy Birthday Alpha heir Veronica."I eyed the glass and then looked her in the eye, "you're a Fae or Witch?"Her eyes glistened, "Fae, but thanks for asking most just assume I'm
Bastien's POV 15My heart was filled with hope when I left NY, Alpha Stephen's last words to me were, "find my daughter and make this right." He's not my biggest fan by no means, but his Luna she's the greatest, she took my hand and gave it a squeeze, "she's my sweet girl," she pauses and shakes her head, "but her heart is hardened towards you now, you've hurt her deeply," she side eyes her Alpha, "she also has her father's temper, so tread lightly." It took me 5 days to get back to Denver, I walked into my brother's supernatural hunters guild. The werewolf at the entrance nods to me, "he's in his office." I turn and walk down the hallway towards my brother's office when the door swung open, "get your ass in here!" Mason is intense, always has been, but today his aura is rolling in waves at me, I smile as I walk past him, only for him to slap me in the back of my head. My hand rubs the spot he hit as he slams the door, "Fucker, it's about time you showed your ugly mug back here.
Veronica's POV I woke up in a room decorated for royalty, my eyes went wide as I jumped off the huge bed, with white satin draped around it from all 4 posters. My feet land on light blue plush carpet, my eyes scan the room, it's golden wall paper reflects the sun beaming in through the french door glass leading to a balcony. A sitting area with white leather sofa and arm chairs to match, facing a large plasma TV hanging on the wall. I look to the left and a door is ajar, I walk to it and push it open. The ensuite is huge, a small pool for a tub to the right, a large shower, the tile is white with blue and gold patterns creating a marble feel. I hear a door latch open and spin around.The Fae bartender walks in, now dressed in a white flowing gown, with pink flowers printed on it, "Good morning, Veronica, I hope you slept well."I scowled at her, "where am I and how did I get here?" She moves gracefully towards me, "oh dear you don't remember anything do you?" I growl, "No,
I’m Veronica Caspo, Alpha heir and the princess to the Silver Moon pack. Raised by Omega Carol who had a pup the same age, Angel, who I loved and was my best friend until I was 11. That all ended when I found my father was also hers. My mother was a woman that lived for her position and wealth, her only motherly instict was to reinforce her arrogant, egotistical and materialistic beliefs within me. The change that morphed within me was only shown to my father’s illegitimate spawn. She didn’t deserve what I did to her, but I was a child then. When she ran away from our pack and couldn’t be found, I was devasted, so was my father and the woman that I truly loved as my mother, the Omega that raised me, Carol, my father’s true fated mate.I was sent to the Alpha Academy as all heirs are, to learn how to lead, act, and study everything from simple economics to all out warfare. The supernatural world is vast yet mostly still hidden from humans for centuries, but all that’s changing b
Bastien's POVArriving at her party almost 2 hours late, the guards wouldn't let me pass to the garden, telling me the princess had shifted and was running with her parents, that I could wait with the rest of the Alpha's and Beta's hoping she was theirs. We were texting when she told me she was starting to shift, that her sister had shifted about an hour ago, I was stuck in traffic but still didn't let on that the surprise I had for her was me. I leaned against the wall opposite from the garden doors anticipating her entrance, while ignoring the other she-wolves in the ballroom giving me looks and smiles. The doors opened and her scent hit me like a freight train, jasmine on a summers breeze, my mouth is salivating as I push off the wall and take a few steps towards the door. I freeze in place at the sight in front of me, her long beautiful blonde curls cascading down the front of Alpha Richard Moon's chest, her face buried in his neck, her tan legs wrapped around his waist as her

Veronica's POV I wake up the next morning, my head hurts and my stomach growls, I stand and go to the ensuite of my room, look into the mirror and flinch, the bump on my head is still there and a beautiful shade of purple, the few scratches I had are gone. I jump in the shower, the hot water feels great as it soothes my sore muscles, I wash my hair, get out, dry off and get dressed. I walk out of the ensuite a towel wrapped around my head and grab my phone, "shit," it's dead. I get my charger and plug in my phone, I remove the towel and walk down to the dining room to grab some breakfast. I enter the dining room, a large table adorned with a lace table cloth with 10 chairs surrounding it, a buffet with chafing dishes and a coffee maker, an older woman smiles at me, "ah, Good Morning Miss Caspo, come dear get whatever you like for breakfast, my name is Annie." I nod and walk over to the coffee maker and pour a cup, I place it on the table and head for the chafing dishes, I lift
Bastein's POV I turn from the bar and head to my bike, "what the hell is she doing out here? What's wrong with Moon, he allows his Luna to trapes around the country without him, without guards, without anyone to protect her?" Tiberius scoffs at me, "she's an Alpha, she's ours." He runs through the forest towards the bike. I shift and dress, I hear my car screaming up the road towards me, I freeze as the headlights beam brightly on the darkened road. The car goes by in a blur, my girl is pissed but I know my car can handle it. I jump on my bike, rev it and head in the opposite direction, "MATE, GO AFTER HER!" Tiberius growls in my head. I shake him off, "she's not our mate Tibi, I'm sorry, but she's Moon's mate, you saw them just as I did, so stop insisting." I drive back past the bar and slow, a few cop cars and the girl is standing outside her car now as an officer write notes. I keep going, I'm glad she won't let those assholes get away with that shit, they need to be pun
Veronica's POVMy heart aches in my chest, that girl crying over Bastein leaving her, his scent was all over her and all around the bar. I wonder, did those guys catch them fucking in the back and he beat the shit out of them, then tucked her safely in her car and then took off? My heart clenches at the thought of him with another woman and my anger rises. I scream out of frustration into the silence of the car, I don't give a shit, he's moved on, he's probably been fucking women all this time, one after the other, most likely while trying to get in my pants, fucking man whore. My anger is reaching new levels now, my wolf whimpers in my head, "he didn't, he wouldn't, he loves us, he’s, our mate." I scoff at her, "fuck him, he left us, he doesn't want us, he certainly doesn't love us, so stop it." My hands tighten around the steering wheel as I speed up not caring if the fucking motor blows up, because my rage is ready to explode. My phone rang and I grabbed at it to see who it
