Bastien's POV

Walking with Veronica back to our cabin, I stop and spin her into my chest, "you okay babygirl?"

She smiles up at me, "yup," she wrinkles her nose, "you still didn't explain what Alpha Carl was talking about, I know you're not a virgin," she shrugs, "neither was I, I will never judge you, you know that right?"

My hands cup her face, "yes, I know," I gently kiss her lips, "I was a one and done man, never dated, never fucked anyone more than once and never had a woman wake up at my place in the morning."

Her smile beams at me, her eyes twinkling with delight, "except me?"

My forehead rests on hers, "you are my only exception, you are my mate, my heart, my love and you are the only woman that will ever live in my heart." I tighten my hold on her waist, her head snuggles into my chest, when she says, "I love you so much Bastien," my heart flips in my chest. I smooth her hair and whisper into her ear, "You're my heart babygirl, you stole it the first time you called me ol

    Veronica's POV Monica swoons, "it's the way he looks at you Veronica, like you're the only person on the planet, it's so adorable." I roll my eyes playfully, "I'm sure your mate he will act the same." We enter the training building and head towards the locker room so I can get changed. I opened my locker and sighed, "I forgot I brought everything home with me to wash," I mind link Bastien to bring me my training clothes only to be met with a block. My brows furrow and Monica looks at me, "what's wrong? why aren't you changing?"I close the locker and sit on the bench, "I brought it all home and Bastien has a wall up for some reason."Ashley looks at me, "does he do that often, put a wall up?" I shook my head, "no, well yeah, but only when..., you know we're together," I wiggled my brows at her. I watch her cheeks turn pink and I giggle, "Ash, you're so innocent, have you never been with a guy?"Ashley swats at my arm, "no I haven't, that doesn't mean I'm innocent," she plays w

    Bastien's POV Veronica's scent and that growl shaking the walls can only mean that Jazzy is in control. I try fighting off my paralysis but no use, her grip on my jaw keeping my mouth open now is even worse. I finally figured out what the fuck she is though, fucking hybrid, witch/shape shifter. I want to vomit, I want to kill her for what she is doing. Her face finally forms, and the shock is more than I can absorb, Gamma Willow. She looks into my eyes and smiles, "I told you I always get what I want Alpha," she throws her head back and pounces on my fingers, "yes, yes, my love." Suddenly, she is ripped off me and I sigh in relief, but I still can’t move. I watch Jazzy rip out Gamma Willows throat as she plunges her claws into her chest and removes her heart, she stands and spat out the chunks for flesh into the Gamma’s face and threw her heart next to her. Pins and needles run through my body as I try and move but I can't, my body is still under whatever spell she placed o

    Veronica's POV The guards at the gates drive me to the pack house, Dad and Mom are waiting at the top of the stairs for me as I get out of the Jeep. Mom runs down the steps and embraces me in a tight hug, "oh my sweet, sweet girl, I've missed you so much." Her head moves back to take a good look at me, and she freezes, her head tilts to the side, "Jasmine, sweet wolf, why are you in control?" Jasmine smiles at her, showing off her pearly white canines, "Luna Carol," she nods her head, "my human is weak and too vulnerable with our mate, she believes everything he says and this time our eyes didn't lie, so I will be in charge now, until I feel she is strong enough to throw him away." I watch in horror as Mom pulls away, I may feel like she is my Mom, but my wolf doesn't, she respects her for her title, but nothing else. I sigh in my head, "Jazzy be nice to Mom, I love her with all my heart, and she has always been good to us, both of us." Jazzy snickers, "that is my nice Veronica

The meal was fantastic, Luna Carol can cook and from the looks that she gives Alpha Stephens they both have an extremely well feed appetites.

    Graces’ POVIt’s been 5 years since I became the Queen Luna, the thoughts of this being an easy life far gone from my memory. I look at my gorgeous mate as he sleeps, his godlike features relaxed as if he doesn’t have the weight of the entire supernatural world on his shoulders. I think of the stories of our parents, how difficult it was not only to scent their mates, but to capture their hearts and the difference in our story, we knew, and it took nothing for us to become entangled with one another. I lay rubbing my flat tummy, wishing and praying for a pup to be inside, it’s the only thing we both want at this point, and it just doesn’t happen. I’ve spoken to Momma about it, and she said that it will come in time, not to worry about it, but how can I not, I’m the Queen Luna and have not produced an heir for the entire Kingdom.His voice breaks my thoughts, “Mon amour, please stop worrying,” he kisses my cheek, “I am not complaining about trying to have a pup,” his sexy smile beam

    Grace’s POV 108I was about to call out to him, he was leaving me alone in the middle of a dance floor when a low menacing growl came from behind me. I gulped and spun around and staring into the chest of a man. My head tilted up and Blaze stood there, and my heart skipped a beat as his green eyes looked down at me, I smiled, and he took a step closer. His eyes bore into mine and his lips twitched, as if fighting off the urge to smile.I bowed my head, he was making me nervous, maybe I was right, and he didn’t scent me and now he’s going to embarrass me in front of all these people and tell me I’m not his mate. I turned quickly and darted for my parents, only to be caught around the waist and spun into his chest. I heard my mother growling but then she stopped, I wanted to look at her, see what had upset her, but I knew it was because of me. I put my hands on his chest and pushed at him, “let go of me, right now,” I demanded and to my surprise he did. I took a step back and gla

    Grace’s POV 109 – 9 years later“I’m not sure about this Momma, we should have stayed in the states and not have everyone come to France for my 18th birthday, what if he was wrong and it was just that I smelled good, but not as a mate should smell.” I can’t help but be shitting myself right now, this seems like a fairytale, and I should be ecstatic over it, but if he was wrong and I’m not his mate then the last 9 years of my life have been a lie and I don’t know if I can deal with that. I was just a kid and yes, I wanted nothing more than for the only living prince that was known to us to be my mate and live a fairytale life, but I’m not a kid and have learned everything a true to life princess should have learned. I learned 5 foreign languages, French, of course, Italian, Russian, Spanish and German. I was sent to etiquette classes and began training the second they left our territory that day. I’ve been groomed to be the perfect Queen, but what if I’m not what he wants, what if

    Bastien's POV"Okay now, tell Daddy exactly what Jaxson did to make you so angry?" My 4-year-old was so angry that he called his cousin Jaxon a poopy head. I guess that's really bad on Veronica's level of thinking because now I'm trying to reason with my 4-year-old son. Dalton sits with a huff and crosses his arms over his tiny chest and mumbles, "hims better, Qween is hims auntie." I chuckle, "well son, I know the King and Queen too, would you like to meet them?" His eyes go wide, "pweese, Daddy." I nodded at him as I scoop him up, "of course we can and I'm sure Queen Jade will want you to call her auntie too. Now let’s go have some fun okay and no more using potty language to your cousin." I tickle his belly and he laughs, a laugh that warms my heart every time I hear it.We walk back out to the patio, and I place him down, he runs to his uncle Lucas and tackles him, there more like brothers, since they're raised together in the same pack. We live in the cabin that I built

They moved towards each other and hugged, “I missed you so much Veronica,” Rochelle whispered.Veronica spoke, “I missed you too, let me get a good look at you,” she pulled her to arm’s length, scanning her from head to toe and then back. “How have you been, how’s the new Alpha, your business’, tell me everything,” Veronica spoke with excitement.I heard a chuckle and looked behind them as Mason appeared, he put his arm around Rochelle and kisse

    Veronica’s POV 103I couldn’t help but swoon at some of the story Mom was telling, it was bittersweet to think that their love could survive so many years of torture, being so close yet so far had to overwhelm both of them. I thought of my mother, Elziabeth and just how this could have affected her as well, to know that her chosen was in love with another woman, could that had made her so bitter and hateful or was she that way from the beginning. Bastien brought me out of my thoughts as he cooed at Dalton, “so little man what will it be sleep or Momma?”I giggled, “give him here, he’s hungry,” Bastien smiled and handed him to me as he slid next to me in the bed. He cleared his throat as Dalton latched on to my breast, “he’s so greedy with my toys,” he chuckled.I side eyed him, “only for a few years, then they are all yours, unless you knock me up again, then you’ll have to wait longer,” I smiled as I looked at him, his brows furrowed but had a sweet smile on his face.He hummed, “

He gathered the cards and handed me the letter before turning and walking out of the kitchen. I finally let out the breath I was holding and collapsed on the floor, Callie, my wolf perked up "he loves us, he always has, you need to give him a chance," she purrs. I shake my head, "I know he was in a bad situation all these years, but I don't know if I can forgive him this easily," I scoffed at her. Callie howled in my head, "are you stupid, you know he never slept with her or anyone after us, do you know how hard that is for an Alpha, their libido is like off the charts, he has been celibate all these years, when that man blows,' she shuttered, "Oh goddess please let him blow with us, it will be mind-blowing for sure."

I hug Carol tighter to my chest and kiss her temple, “I’ve made so many mistakes in this life, and yet I still have the things in this world that are most important to me right here.” I nodded, where was I, “It took everything I had to leave Carol at the Omega quarters, she refused to come back with us to the pack house saying "Alpha, Luna Elizabeth ordered me here and gave me duties to the guards, I will do as my Luna requests until she reassigns me," she nodded and showed me the door.
