Veronica’s POVThe next morning tiredness didn’t want to let go of me, exhaustion seemed to sink in deeper with each yawn. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I stood up from the comfort of my bed. The events of the previous day seemed to have a bigger effect on me than I thought. As I got dressed there was a soft knock that echoed through the room, Maya’s voice followed soon after, “Morning Miss Veronica.”I greeted her with a tired smile, “Morning.”She looked at me with a worried smile, “Is everything alright?”“Everything is fine. Just a bit tired, I didn't sleep too well last night.” I lied.She lifted my face, giving me a reassuring smile, but the moment was short-lived. Her expression quickly changed, “We’re going to be late.”“Late? Late for what?” I asked, surprised by her sudden urgency.“For your lesson.” “Again?”“Yes. Now come on.” She grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the room.The excitement of going to another lesson was there but my body didn’t want it. I painted on a

Veronica’s POVI made my way to the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. After the long and tedious day, I was longing for something hot. My steps were light against the floorboards, the moon light shone through the curtains. As I reached the coffee pot, my gaze turned to the window overlooking a porch.Logan. There he sat. I noticed he had a troubled look on his face. A sense of concern tugged at my heartstrings, despite the fear and worry, I couldn’t shake the feeling to go and comfort him. Without hesitation I made a cup of coffee, the smell of freshly made coffee filled the air. Clutching the cups in my hands, I made my way out to the porch.I approached softly. Logan glanced up, I could see the surprise on his face, he then offered me a faint smile, “Hi.” Handing him his cup, our fingers touched slightly. “Thank you.” I didn’t say a word as I found a spot next to him. There was a big gap between us, I didn’t want to intrude in his alone time, but the sight before us was too beaut

Veronica’s POVMia stood with her arms crossed and a clear indication that she was not happy to see me. The tension in the air thickened and our eyes met. Her eyes were always cold and distant, but this time her gaze was filled with a fury I hadn't seen before. Fear started to take over my body, I didn’t know what to expect from her. Not knowing what words would escape her mouth, nor what she would do to me.“Veronica,” She she spat out my name like a curse, “It’s a fucking honor to see you.” Sarcasm filled her tone.“I…” I took a big breath trying to gather the courage to tell her off. But, nothing. It was like my words were frozen.“You what? Decided to abandon your pack, and go live a good life.” She said as she made air quotes. “Because of you. Because of your betrayal to our pack, your father had to pay the price.”It felt a punch in my gut as the words left her mouth. My father. What price did my father have to pay? And I didn’t decide to leave, I was forced to leave. I was told

Veronica’s POVWaking up I futtered my eyes to the soft light filtering through the curtains. Scanning the room, I noticed that Logan wasn’t next to me anymore. I sighed, turning onto my back, I stared at the ceiling. A strange feeling of emptiness started to consume me. His absence made my heart fill with sadness. I was always so used to waking up alone, but this morning was different. I felt different. I lingered in the bed for a few more moments, before gathering the willingness to get up. Today was another day that I had to meet with Grace to continue my lessons. She had been helping me so much to help me refine my manners and present myself better. Though it hasn’t been easy, I was not willing to give up. I had to continue and be the true lady I have to be.After getting dressed in a beautiful but yet simple dress, I made my way to the study. As I walked to the study, the silence of the morning was only broken by the echo of my footsteps. When I finally made it to the study, I w

Veronica’s POVI started to wake up, my mind foggy as I tried to make sense of my surroundings. The cold, damp air clung to my skin, making me shiver. The sight of a bulb flickering above my head made the room feel more like a prison. I tried to move but the chains binding my wrists and ankles echoed through the small room. Panic started to take hold of my body. My breaths became unsteady and restless, but I forced myself to remain calm, focused on the voices that were in the distance. Shia’s voice was unmistakable, sharp. I could hear the cold and venom in her tone of voice. The other voice was a man, it sounded very familiar but I was too disorientated to make out who it was.Everything happened too fast. The abduction was almost a blur. I noticed that they were talking about something important, but they were too far to clearly make out what they were saying. All that I knew was they were serious, by the way of their tones. My thoughts raced as I listened, trying to piece togethe
