Hi Darlings, Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy this journey. As always thank you for your support! XOXO
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 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
Bastien's POVI arrived in France a week later at the castle of Alpha King Bête’s giving him and his Queen Luna more details of the plan that Mason has in motion and my own personal situation now taking a backseat but not out of my mind. Queen Luna Jade had an Omega bring me to a room, I took a shower and looked at myself in the mirror, I laugh, "yea I do look like shit, but I'm not changing a thing, I have no need to, my Mate is gone, she's ignored all the texts I've sent her, except the first one. I called Mason to check in, he answered telling me the time and what we need to do so we could finish this war, kill all the hunters and have the world free to coexist with humans and supernatural’s. I met with King Bête the next day and explained Mason's plan; the summit is happening now so it's the best possible timing. Our plan was in action, we all left France and went to Italy the place where Mason had arranged the 1st annual Supernatural Hunter’s Guild Summit and with any luck t
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 bea
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
