Hello Darlings, thank you for reading and hopefully enjoying the journey. Thank you for all the gems and support. XOXO
Veronica's POV After the rude awakening, my morning sickness and throwing my mate out of our room, I sat on the bed, rubbing my stomach. Angel sat next to me, her hand rubbing the middle of my back, "it will get better," she smiles at me, "another few weeks and it should stop." I rolled my eyes, "ugh, well that sucks."She sighs, "your complaining but your mate, scoops you up, placing you on a pillow, holding your hair and rubbing your back as you throw up your insides,” she smirks, “have any idea how special that is?"I can't help but giggle at her, "well when you put it that way," I hug her neck, "he makes sure the pillow is there every night, he also cleans the toilet bowl before he crawls into the bed every night, he doesn't think I know but I do." Rochelle jumps on the bed behind me, "he's the real prince charming isn't he." Angel arches a brow at her and I giggle, pointing to Angel, "no she has prince charming actually." Angel slaps me on my shoulder and stands up, headi
Bastien's POV Standing on this stage next to Mason waiting for Veronica was painful, trying to and failing not to stare at the doors to this room. Mason's been on edge all day, saying his wolf is antsy which isn't a good sign, especially his wolf. The doors finally open and my breath is snatched out of my lungs by the vision of beauty that now occupies the space. The room filled with people fades away as I watch Veronica gracefully, walk down the steps and towards me, my mind link opens to her and my love and admiration for her flows down our bond, I'm speechless, but my mind speaks to hers, "you're breathtakingly stunning," I think that's what came out or so I hope so. Her father stands between us to begin the ceremony, the room falls silent as he raises the blade above his head for all to see, when suddenly the doors fly open and we all look, to see a naked female standing there. My eyes snap to Veronica an evil smile on her lips, I follow her line of vision and realize she's l
Veronica's POV 87Sitting at our desk, I look over the finances of the pack, noticing that the Omega's are paid so little for all the hard work they do. I also notice that they have no way of climbing up the chain of command, unless they are fated to a higher rank. I shake my head, "this isn't right and this is the first thing we need to fix."Bastien agrees, "let's start with a wage increase a dollar more an hour, then ensure that the children are all attending school."I blink at him, "yes, they all need an education," I sigh, "when I was in school, Angel was the only Omega that attended, all the other's weren't allowed. After we do this, then we can work on a new ranking system for the adult Omega's."He looks at me, "maybe we should offer night school for the Adults, help them gain what they lack, writing skills, reading skills, it will help them to obtain a better rank."I smile as I look at the laptop with hundreds of names on it, "you're amazing at this."He laughs, "you're
Bastien's POV I stand holding Veronica's hand as we watch the screen of the ultrasound machine, it's been 1 month since we've became Alpha's of the pack. Dr. Reynolds clicks away on a keyboard before he says, "ah, there is our little heir," he turns the screen towards us. We both look at the screen and my heart races as the little peanut shape moves, my hand tightens around Veronica's as we both just stare. Dr. Reynolds laughs, "not much to look at now is it, but wait in another month it will be a big difference." Veronica sighs deeply and I let out a breath, "this may sound crazy, but can you be in love with a peanut?" Veronica laughs, "Bastien I love you so much, I was thinking the same thing." The Doctor smirks at us, "I'll get you a picture of it, nice way to start the baby book." He walks out and Veronica gets dressed as I sit and just staring at her, she turns to me, "What are you thinking about?"I shrug, "those stirrups look kind of fun when you were in them." She slap
Veronica's POV I'm 5-1/2 months pregnant and look like I've swallowed a large watermelon whole. I pace outside the birthing room at the same hospital I was born in. Angel is here too, and she looks ready to pop any second, while I fret over her, Bastien frets over me and we all are fretting over Mom. Alpha Richard is beside himself worrying if the air flight was too much on Angel, but he has to realize how strong and stubborn she is by now. I plop down in the seat next to Angel and put my head on her shoulder and whisper, "it's too quite in there, you think something is wrong?"Angel shakes her head, "no, I won't think like that, Momma is stronger than both of us, she's got Dad in there with her, she'll be fine." I smile looking at Bastien, as he stands absolutely not bothered in the least against the wall, with his arms crossed over his chest. I lick my lips staring at him and wonder if any of the rooms up here have stirrups in them, maybe we can sneak away and use them now
Bastien's POVSitting in another hallway waiting for Angel to give birth only 1-1/2 month after their Mom gave birth to their brother is even worse. We flew here last night, when Veronica received the call that Angel was in labor. Veronica is almost due herself and is a bear if her needs aren't met immediately and when I say needs, I only mean 3 things, food, sleep and sex. I'm not complaining having sex with my little goddess is always pleasure in my book, but sometimes her cravings for food are a bit out of the ordinary. As we sit in the hallway, her feet in my lap as I rub her swollen ankles she groans, "I'm hungry," she states. I arch a brow to her, and I just know I'm fucked, where in Daytona Beach and I have no idea where to get what she is going to crave. I look at Beta Mark, "get ready for a food run," as I look at Veronica, "what would our little heir like to eat baby girl?"She smirks at me, "don't make a face when I say this," she giggles and I just shake my head, "fri
Veronica's POV To say I'm nervous is an understatement, I'm terrified, especially after what could have happened to Angel. After giving birth to the prince of the Crescent Moon pack, Angel had internal hemorrhaging, his little foot tore a hole in her uterus and it could have killed her, if the doctor hadn't done a thorough exam immediately afterwards. It's rare that any injury can cause a werewolf to not heal, but after childbirth both human and wolf sides are exhausted. I take a cleansing breath and look at Bastien as I hold his hand. "It's going to be fine," I tell him as he leans over giving me a gentle kiss on my lips. He nods and I know just how worried he is, his jaw is clenched, and I can see his pulse throbbing on the side of his neck. I know that Mom, Dad, Angel and Alpha Richard are all out in the hallway waiting for the screaming to start, I clamp my jaw together as another contraction racks through my body and squeeze Bastien's hand. I try to do the stupid breathi
Veronica’s POV Having all 3 pups in the pack house was amazing, we laid them all together and took pictures of, Lucas my brother, Jaxon my nephew and Dalton, all just months apart and all born in the same year. I know I thought I ‘d be terrified about having a pup, but now that he’s here it’s more than perfect. I look at the 3 of them and smile, “how could all our pups be so different, I mean their all handsome, but look at them?” Lucas is the oldest, he has chestnut brown hair and piercing blue eyes like mine and Angel, Jaxon has blonde hair and brown eyes and Dalton, has black hair and green eyes, he looks just like his Daddy, yes I have a tiny Bastein on my hands and from what his Mom says, I’m in for a run for my money.Angel smiles, “I think they all have the best of all of us in them,” she chuckled as she snuggled Dalton to her. She looks at him, “I’ll miss you so much, but remember Auntie Angel loves you,” she sniffled, I watch as Alpha Richard walks up behind her and whis
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
