Bastien's POVs The next morning after a lengthy shower we walked hand in hand into the kitchen, Luna Carol sits at the island on the phone with a cup of tea. She smiles warmly at us as she continues her conversation, "a boy, my love that is wonderful, I'll let Dad know we are expecting a grandson." Veronica squeals, "Angel, you're having a boy! I'm going to have a nephew!" Luna Carol smiles at her and places her phone down and pushes the speaker button, Angel's giggle came over the phone. Veronica smiles at Luna Carol and she nods, "Angel, you hear your sister is here and her mate, Alpha Bastien and you’re on speaker phone." "Hey Princess and new brother, how are the two of you doing this morning?"Veronica laughs, "great and I'm not the only princess so stop that!" Angel scoffs, "awe, you'll always be our princess, deal with it, so Rick and I are planning a trip up there soon, so you two might want to do a ceremony while where there so I don't have to travel more, you know i
Veronica's POV 69I know I need to explain to Bastien about Angel and Dad's issues, but when I do, he's also going to hear what a horrible person I've been to her. I try and eat but my appetite is gone, and my stomach feels like it is in turmoil. I bit into a piece of bacon and spit it out and ran to the nearest bathroom, once I've emptied my stomach and wash out my mouth I return to the kitchen. I smile at Bastien, "hey, let's take a walk, I want to show you the pack and I can give you the short version of my families most unpleasant moments."He places the last of the dishes in the dish washer and walks over to me, "I'd like to see the pack," he snakes his arm around my waist, "and hear all the details of why your half-sister is holding a grudge."I sigh heavily, "just don't judge him," I arch my brow at him, "or me."He tightens his grip on my waist and pulls me into his side, "never, babygirl would I judge you."We walked out the kitchen door and through the garden towards the
Bastien's POV I'm not going to lie, when Veronica started telling me about Angel and what had happened that she is so put off on their father, I wanted to judge him so bad, but then she shifted the story to what she had done as a child when she found out he was Angel's father, I just couldn't.Veronica was heartbroken talking about what she had done to Angel and how and why Angel had run away. I couldn’t help but comfort my girl and, in my heart, I know she regrets what had happened. When she told me how hunters had thought Angel was human and kidnapped her to trap Alpha Richard Moon, I just shook my head, "stupid humans," she told me that since she didn't have her wolf yet, she wasn't supposed to be in on the trap. "I couldn't stand by and wait," she said, and I chuckled as she told me how she kicked the shit out of a want-to-be hunter and Angel's boss. She had pretended to be wounded and, in the woods, and when he came out of the cabin to be her knight in shining armor, she kic
Veronica's POV I wait a few minutes before I reappear above water and to my surprise, he catches me and makes my body shiver with delight as he plunges his thick digits into my core. He plays with my body and whispers nasty words in my ears and I cum hard and fast. His baritone voice whispers in my ear, "I'm not done with you babygirl, this old man is going to pound into your sweet pussy, till the entire pack hears you scream my name." He thrust his cock into me with such force I scream his name, he grabs my chin and pulls my face to the side and captures my lips with his own in a passionate deep kiss, as he brutally thrusts in and out of me. He breaks the kiss and as he thrusts, he bites down on my mark and I come undone. My body leans back into his as he pulls out and turns me to face him, "I love you so fucking much Veronica, you are my life." I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him tenderly as his hand goes into my hair holding me in place.We get out of the water and
Bastien's POV I wake, the sun shining through the cracks in the curtains of the room Luna Carol had given me, Veronica's naked body snuggled into my side, her blonde curly hair obscuring her face. I should have killed that boy Thomas yesterday afternoon and listening to her friend Ashley was sickening. The girl is pompous, arrogant and disgraceful and sadly Veronica said she was 10 times worse than her when she was younger. I just can’t believe this golden hair goddess that I love could have ever been that way. I move her hair with my finger, her blue eyes stare at me, her full lips spread into a smile, "good morning handsome," her sleep filled voice coo's at me.I pull her on top of me, wrapping my arms around her and inhale her sweet scent, "good morning beautiful," I place a kiss on top of her head, "I'm starving, how about you?"Her laughter fills the room, "mmm, food does sound good." I can't help but tease her as I pout, "I was thinking of a non-food breakfast, but if you
Veronica's POV Waking up to my handsome mate makes me so happy, the warmth from his body makes me snuggle into him. His scent is intoxicating as usual, he pulls me up on top of him and I snuggle again, kissing my mark on his neck before he scoops me up into his arms and heads for the ensuite. My head immediately goes to shower sex before breakfast and how that sounds amazing, when a wave a nausea washes over me. I tell him to put me down now and he does. I bolt to the ensuite, slamming the door behind me as I reach the toilet and puke my guts out. He's by my side in a heartbeat, holding up my hair and rubbing small circles on my back. I flush the toilet and lean on his shoulder, before getting up and brushing my teeth. What the fuck is wrong with me, this is the 2nd day I've puked in the morning, it makes no sense.He seems to think it could be nerves, since Jasmine had control over my body for a few days and he could be right, so I go with it. But when he placed a cup of cof
Bastien's POV I immediately move off the stool and wrap my arms around my babygirl, pulling her into me and nuzzling my cheek to hers, I whisper into her ear, "babygirl, I love you so fucking much and the peanut inside you, please don't cry." Her body stiffens and her soft giggles fill my ear, "peanut, it's a pup not a food." She moves her head looking at me, "you want it don't you?" I couldn't believe she was asking me that question, "does this smile make you think I don't, fuck my cheeks hurt smiling this wide." Her hand caresses my cheek, her eyes turn serious, "I'm so scared Bastien."I release her waist to cup her face, "me too, but together I know we will rock the shit out of being amazing parents," I kiss her lips quickly, my thumbs wiping away the stray tears off her cheeks. My hands leave her face and land on her shoulders, I spin her towards her parents and wrap my arms gently around her waist, my hands rub on her flat stomach as I pull her back to my front. "Alpha St
Bastien's POV I walk out of the ensuite with a towel around my waist and drying my hair with another. A soft knock at the door got my attention, "come in," I was hoping it was Veronica, but then again, why would she knock? Luna Carol walks in with a suit bag, her eyes immediately go to the floor and a blush creeps on her cheeks, I bite my lower lip, "uhm, sorry Luna give me a minute," I tug on a pair of shorts and throw the towel around my shoulders. "Okay, more descent now."She lifts her head and smiles, "your suit and shirt for the party, I'm sorry we're running late, so Veronica is upstairs getting ready," she lays the suit across the back of the sitting chair and turns to leave. She stops and turn her head at me, "Bastien, I know you love Veronica, and she loves you, the two of you will be able to make this pack as it should be." I take a step towards her, "Luna what does that mean?"Her head drops and shoulder's sag, "It means, you and Veronica will have the power to chang
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
Veronica’s POV “Grace if you don’t sit still, I’ll never get your hair done,” I glare at my 9 year old daughter.She giggled, “sorry Momma, I’m just so excited, I mean the King and Queen are coming here, to our home today, aren’t you excited Momma.”I chuckle, “yes, very, but I’ve met them several times and I know you were a new born when we traveled to France and stayed at their home, but you have met them already.” I stand back and smile, “okay, is that how you wanted your hair today?”She looks in the mirror and smiles, “yes, it’s perfect,” she spins around, “there son, the prince he will be here too?”I arch a brow at her, “aren’t you a bit young to worry about the prince,” I shake my head, “he’s too old for you anyway and is a prince, now you behave yourself around him,” I give her a pointed look.She giggles, “yes, Momma, I’ll just go help Auntie Rochelle with her pup, if that’s okay?”I smiled, “of course, don’t be a nuisance though and thank her for your dress, it was very
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
Bastein’s POV – 6 months laterI grabbed Veronica and Dalton and headed for the car, “I can’t wait for you to see it, everything is perfect, just as you wanted.”She giggled, “Bastein, why do you have me blindfolded, this is so silly, I’ve seen the house.”He chuckled, “I know but humor me, just this once.”He helped me out of the car and walked me a few feet, “okay take off the blindfold.”Veronica removed the blindfold and looked straight ahead, the squeal that left her lips was ear-piercing as she saw Rochelle standing on the front porch. 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, “
Luna Carol’s POVHe looked at me with tears in his eyes, "I'm so very sorry, this is my fault that our pup left and felt so valueless, I'll find her and win you both back." 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 shook my head at her, "seriously, you’re thinking of fucking him right now?" She snickered
Alpha Steven’s POVI looked at my son in laws, both with knowing looks on their faces, I know for certain Bastien has been on his knees, pleading for a chance with Veronica, and by the look in Richard’s eyes, he’s been there as well. 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. I could feel her sadness through our bond, as weak as our bond has become throughout the years, I still feel her. My heart broke as I took Veronica's hand, and we left her there. On our walk back to the pack house Veronica asked, "Daddy, what are you going to do with
