Vera's Pov

Every muscle in my body screamed in protest as I pushed myself further back into the bed, trying to put as much distance between Dante and myself as possible.

My arms shook from exhaustion and my legs felt like they were made of lead.

My head pounded from the emotional turmoil tearing me apart from inside.

But none of these physical pain could contest with the agony in my chest when I looked at him.

"Vera, please just listen to me –”

"No!" The word ripped from my throat, raw and desperate. "I don't want to listen to you. I don't want your excuses or your pretty words or your lies. I just want you to leave!”

"I'm not leaving," he said firmly, moving closer despite my obvious desire for distance. "Not until we talk about this. You understand what actually happened.”

"I understand perfectly!" I grabbed another pillow, throwing it at him with what little strength I had left. It hit his chest weakly and fell to the floor. "You spent all week with her. You let her touch you

  • Claimed by the Lycan King    0032 - When Protection becomes Prison

    Vera's Pov I was up before dawn, unable to sleep again after everything that had happened. My reflection's words about getting stronger, about leading packs, about becoming more than I'd ever imagined.You can't keep being weak, I told myself as I laced up my training shoes. No more hiding. No more waiting to be saved.The training room was empty when I arrived, which was what I wanted. There was no one to watch me, or judge. I started with running. I did sprints back and forth across the room until my lungs screamed. Then I went on to do burpees, push ups, sit ups and jumping jacks. Everything I could think of, stringing exercises together without pause, without rest.My muscles burned and sweat poured from my face. My vision was getting bluey from exhaustion but I was not going to stop. Stronger, my reflection's voice echoed in my head. You need to be stronger.“Again,” I gasped out loud as I dropped into another set of push ups even though my arms were shaking so badly I coul

  • Claimed by the Lycan King    0031 - Before I say yes

    Vera's Pov I didn't understand what any of it meant. But when I opened my eyes and found Dante staring at me, his face etched with worry and awe, all of that faded into background noise. “Dante,” I said. I threw my arms around him before he could even respond and sobbed hard against his chest. “I was so scared. I got lost and couldn't find my way back and everything was dark and I was all alone –”"Shh, I've got you." His arms came around me, holding me so tightly I could barely breathe but I didn't care. "You're safe now. I'm here.”“I'm sorry,” I gasped, between sobs. “I'm so sorry for what I said at the party. I was just…I just felt so overwhelmed and you weren't listening and I –”“No,” he pulled back enough to cup my face and made me look at him. “Don't apologise. You're right. I should have considered your feelings before throwing that big party. I know being the center of attention terrifies you. But I was so focused on doing something special that I didn't stop to consider

  • Claimed by the Lycan King    0030 - The Light She Carries

    Dante's Pov The moment Vera stormed out, I felt heavy guilt. She was right about what she said. I'd been so focused on maintaining control and showing the pack that despite the attack we were still strong. And I'd completely missed my mate falling apart right beside me. I'd dismissed her attempts to talk to me, brushed off her discomfort, and prioritized appearances over her actual wellbeing.And now she was gone. "Stop the party," I said, loud enough for the nearby pack members to hear. "Everyone go home. The celebration is over.”Confused murmurs rippled through the crowd but people began filing out, sensing from my tone that arguing would be a bad idea. Within minutes, the hall had emptied except for Sofia, Elena, and a few senior pack members."I warned you," Sofia said, her voice tight with frustration. "I told you this was too much. I said, throwing her a huge party after everything she'd been through was a terrible idea. But did you listen? No. You just –”"Not now, Sofia.

  • Claimed by the Lycan King    0029 - The Voice Within

    Vera's Pov I ran. I had no idea where I was going. My only plan was to put enough distance between me and that party and between myself and Dante's hurt expression that made guilt start creeping in even through my anger.My feet carried me down packs I didn't recognize. The Blackwood Pack's building was a maze compared to the familiar layout of the Russo compound, and within minutes I was completely turned around. But I didn't stop. The need to leave was in overwhelming. It drowned out all logic and reason and the small voice in my head that whispered that I was being ridiculous.I finally burst through an exterior door into the cool night air, gasping as the temperature change hit my overheated face.I stumbled forward, away from the light spilling from the windows behind me, away from the music and laughter and celebration I'd just abandoned. My legs carried me into the tree line, branches catching at my clothes and hair as I pushed deeper into the woods.Only when I couldn't see

  • Claimed by the Lycan King    0028 - The Birthday That Wasn't

    Vera's Pov I stood frozen as my brain tried to understand what I was seeing. The figure in the centre of the room was not an enemy that had come to gloat over my capture. It was Dante. And behind him, Sofia, Elena and Nyx stood with big smiles on their faces, holding what looked like – party decorations?“SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VERA!” They chorused in unison. Confetti exploded somewhere and rained down in colourful streams.Balloons bobbed against the ceiling. A banner hung across the far wall reading "Happy Birthday Vera" in glittering letters.I blinked rapidly. My mouth hung open but no sound came out."Vera?" Dante moved toward me, concern replacing his smile when he saw my expression. "Cara, are you –”The tears came without warning, huge wracking sobs that shook my entire body. My knees gave out and I would have hit the floor if Dante hadn't caught me, pulling me against his chest as I completely fell apart."Hey, hey, it's okay." His arms wrapped around me securely. "Yo

  • Claimed by the Lycan King    0027 - Vanished

    Vera's Pov My wolf was magnificent. I barely had time to register the thought before she launched herself at the first rogue with a ferocity I didn't know she possessed. Her claws takes across his throat before he could react and blood sprayed in an arc across the white hospital walls. The second wold shifted mid-leap. His wolf form was larger than mine but slower. My wolf twisted impossibly fast, avoiding his attack and catching him in the vulnerable spot behind his front leg. He went down with a yelp that cut off abruptly as her jaws closed around his windpipe.The third rogue backed toward the door, fear finally registering on his face as he realized what was happening. But my wolf was already moving, a blur of fur and teeth and rage that gave him no chance to escape.It was over in less than thirty seconds. All three rogues dead. All destroyed by a wolf who'd been too damaged to shift properly just weeks ago.As the adrenaline faded, pain crashed over me like a tidal wave.
