All Chapters of Veil Of Destiny: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Maria's POV "Can you even hear what I am saying at all?" Maya's voice cut into my thoughts and I nearly jumped. My fate here has turned for the good but finding out that Maya was merely a pawn for Alpha Felix hurt my heart. I didn't know if I should believe what Dexter was saying or warn Maya to be careful. I decided to get the exact picture of what she was going through from her. "How's your relationship with Dexter?" I asked her and she paused for a brief moment before speaking. "It's good. You know how much he loves me. Why are you asking this?" She asked me and it was my turn to hesitate before speaking. "I just want to be sure that everything was really fine. Remember that you have helped me come out of a dark place, if there is anything happening to you that you feel like I should know, I promise that I won't judge you or make you feel...""Slow down," Maya said, cutting me short with a wave of her hands, "have you been listening to the rumors?" She asked me and since I had

Alpha Leo's POV I was finding it hard to believe that I was actually worried about the breeder girl. The weeks were rolling by and I was not any closer to finding her than when I started. She also had the ability to hide herself well and the only thing I could think about was her guts to run away from my pack. "A penny for your thoughts?" Sophia said from behind me and I smiled at her, pulling her close to me. She was my soulmate and the woman that I truly loved but in recent times, I have been thinking too much about Maria. "It's nothing. Just a little thought about the sock and all that is going on. I'm just thinking of ways to make life better for everyone" I responded and moved to the other side of the room, suddenly feeling crowded up with Sophia's presence. "Don't spend any time on that. We need to conduct our marriage. You have been putting it off for several months now. What could be holding you back?" She asked me and I could see the maddening glint in her eyes. It was on

Maria's POV "It's still not working?" Maya said and tried to pull out the shoe from under the chair. She had seemed a bit off all evening and I couldn't imagine why. I felt guilty that I was not telling her what I knew even though she had been nothing but nice to me since we met. "Yes. Just leave the shoe here. I'll get you another one" I said to her and sat down. Somehow, I had gotten her shoe caught between chairs and it was even ruined already. She definitely needed the new ones. "I think Dexter isn't being honest with me." She whispered, her voice quiet and broken as she tried to blink back the tears that had gathered in her eyes. "Why? Did he do something?" I asked her, not wanting to seem like I knew something. She was smart to have picked out that something was wrong with him because something was. "Yes. He has refused to keep to the first promise he made me. I should have been out of here by now, our own little paradise should have started but every time I remind him abou

Alpha Felix's POV I held my head and stomped back to the palace. She had escaped. She had run, after letting that filthy boy pleasure her in the same ways that I had wanted to do. I felt foolish, revealing all my dealings with Dexter to her while she had probably gone behind me to sleep with him. The thought of it gnawed at my heart and the anger refused to stop burning my chest. I should have taken her when I had the chance, even if it had to be by force. "Any luck, Alpha?" Sophie asked me as soon as I got to the palace. She had a bowl of warm water waiting with a towel to wipe the caked blood off my face. "No. Where are all my guards?" I asked her, seeing that the hallway that led to my chambers was empty. "I sent everyone to other parts of the palace. Tonight, I am the only one that will take care of you. They would all be ba...""And what gives you the right to give orders to my guards?" I barked, shocked at her effrontery. "I...I just thought you would want to focus on heal

Maria's POV It has been three days since I regained consciousness. So far, everyone has been very kind to me and the Alpha has not shown any signs of being a creep yet. Everything was going smoothly so far, in fact, I was healing so nicely that I could take a stroll by the end of the third day. "How are you doing today?" The alpha asked me and I beamed at him. He has been coming to check on me every day for the past three days. I had even begun to look forward to his visits. "I am doing very well Alpha. Welcome" I said and made to stand up, but he quickly waved his hands at me, motioning for me to not bother doing that. "Thank you. Elvira said you are healing nicely. I take it that you feel the same way?" he asked me, his eyes filled with genuine concern. "Yes, everything is healing nicely. I can barely feel the pain in my head. It comes and goes now" I explained to him, excited to share the details of my day with him. There was how he made me feel, he made me feel safe. It was
