Veronica's POV:Tears streamed down my face as I ran up the stairs. My heart pounded hard against my chest and my knees buckled as I got to the top of the staircase. I couldn't believe what I just heard and somehow, I hoped it was just a figment of my imagination.Was Lucas really using me as a sex toy? Why would he be using me as a pawn to get the throne?I don't stand any chance of being the Luna of the Nightshade Pack since I've never shifted into my wolf form, which means I can never be a threat to the throne. Everything I just heard didn't make sense to me.I thought Lucas loved me as much as I did love him but now it was all clear that I was just one of his flings. It all began to make sense slowly. The entire Matilda story was never a lie. Lucas and Matilda had something going on but how was I so dumb not to realize that the red flag has been staring at me all this while?As I walked into my room, I felt the whole space spinning and my breath was caught up in my throat. I collap

Veronica's POV:As I walked through the palace garden, the scent of blooming flowers filled the air, their vibrant colors captivating my attention. The garden was my sanctuary, a place where I could find solace and escape from the turmoil that consumed my thoughts.It was difficult to understand that the person I loved, Lucas, had been using me as a pawn and a mere object of desire. The hurt and betrayal cut deep, leaving me feeling vulnerable and lost.Lost in my world, I tried to push aside the painful revelations about Lucas and the queen. How could they have conspired against me? The hurt and betrayal seeped deep into my soul, making it difficult to focus on anything else.Amidst the bustling activity of the palace, I immersed myself in the beauty of nature. The delicate petals of roses brushed against my fingertips as I trailed my hand along the garden path. I sought refuge in the tranquility of this secluded space, hoping it would ease the ache in my heart.I walked through the

Jason's POV:As I watched from my hidden corner, my heart sank at the sight of Lucas slapping Veronica. I couldn't fathom the depth of their sibling relationship, how it could reach such a low point. Thoughts raced through my mind, wondering what kind of tension and animosity had built up between them.My focus shifted as Veronica stormed out of the room, her eyes filled with hurt and anger. I held my breath, waiting to see what would happen next. To my surprise, Matilda appeared before her, her demeanor oozing with arrogance and disrespect."Well, well, well, if it isn't the princess herself," Matilda sneered, crossing her arms defiantly.Veronica's eyes narrowed, but she maintained her composure. "Watch your tone, Matilda. Remember your place."A cold smirk spread across Matilda's face. "Oh, believe me, I know my place very well. Unlike you, I don't need a crown to feel important."I couldn't help but shake my head in disbelief. Matilda's audacity was astounding, mocking Veronica's

Lucas POV:I was still in shock after what transpired between me and Veronica. I had let out my anger and frustration and slapped her. I couldn't believe that my father went behind my back to crown a frail human as the Luna of Nightshade Pack. Veronica stared at me with a tear-stained face and blinked twice, just to be sure that she wasn't dreaming. I didn't feel the slightest pity for her as I watched her storm out of the room. I slumped onto the couch that sat beside my bed, rubbing the crease that was beginning to form on my forehead while my chest rose and fell in anger.My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Matilda's voice in the hallway. Matilda's voice reeked of disdain and mockery as she spoke to Veronica. Her speech was incoherent since the palace walls were built with a soundproof system. After a few minutes, the conversation died down and Matilda walked into my room, dressed in her warrior attire. I couldn't help but smile as she walked towards me, her hips swaying sedu

Lucas' POV:My heart leaped at her words, and I couldn't resist any longer. Her soft moans were like music to my ears and I couldn't help but kiss her harder, wanting to feel her every inch. I trailed my hands down her back, feeling her curves and her warmth under my touch. Every nerve in my body was alive with desire, and all I wanted was her.As we finally broke the kiss, we both panted for breath, our bodies pressed tightly together. I looked down into her eyes, and I knew that I would do anything to protect my heirship of the throne, even if it meant two-timing between Veronica and Matilda. "Stay with me tonight," Veronica whispered as I brushed a strand of hair away from her face. "I want to be with you tonight, and always."I nodded, a soft smile playing on my lips, and I knew that everything was going perfectly to my plan. I just needed to play my part well and in a few days, I'll be the next Lycan king and my stepsister's mate.I drew her closer to my embrace. Despite her dis
