I stared at the papers like they were relics. This couldn’t be happening, this should be a dream. No way my husband just shoved a divorce paper in my face after caught cheating on me with my best friend. Maybe it was a prank, maybe……
“What are you waiting for? Sign the damn papers” Trent’s voice jarred me out of my reverie. I came back to reality, realizing this wasn’t a dream but very very real. I stared at the papers and scowled.
“I am not signing anything. Cheat on me all you want but I am not leaving you. You’ll come back to your senses and realize how much you miss me.” I said and Trent’s face darkened. He clenched his fist, he turned to Candice.
“Honey leave us a while, don’t want to you to see how angry she has made me.” He said and Candice even have the nerve to smile and kiss him before leaving the room. Trent turned back to me angrily.
“Are you crazy? Sign the papers and get the hell out of here” he growled and I shook my head.
“No” I said. Trent unclenched and clenched his fists.
“You are crazy. I have never realized this but I see so now. Sign the papers or I’ll make your life hell” he roared. I stared at him stubbornly.
“You are making it hell already. But I am ready to stay” I said and he snarled. I could tell he was on edge, he was obviously controlling his wolf and his eyes were starting to turn yellow.
“Don’t get me pissed” his voice was unnerving and deep. Like two people were talking at once. If I wasn’t scared before then I was now. Why was he so angry at me ti the extent of almost loosing his cool. Was this how much he hated me? How could he even hate this much? Did he really hate me this much? I used to think he loved me or even feel the tiniest shred of affection in his heart for me. But now I couldn’t even see the man that used to caress me affectionately. All I was seeing was a werewolf struggling to keep him from not mauling his wife.
“Please don’t send me away. I still love you and I will always love you. I can bear to lose you” I said and he shook his head at me.
“Well I don’t. I don’t love you, I never loved you. Candice was who I loved all along. You are just a backup plan Veronica” he said. It felt like someone plunged a knife into my heart. I was so stunned that I couldn’t even breathe.
I never loved you. Candice was who I loved all along.
I stared at the papers in my hands and thought of tearing them but he could just do another. Why don’t I just sign it and get this done with? I shook my head, I still couldn’t think of life without Trent. I loved him, even if he just told me he didn’t love me back.
“Trent Please” I moved closer and he scowled. “I’ll do anything you want” I added and his scowl deepened.
“What I want is for you to sign those papers, then we are done here” he said. I shook my head.
“I won’t, you can’t force me”I said and he smiled, a cruel one. Yes you are right, I can’t but I can’t make you to” he said and stormed away. The moment he left I fell on my knees and wept. The man I loved did not even love me back and worse he was now with my best friend. An obvious slap to the face. Nothing had even hurt as this. Not even when I lost my parents.
The door opened and Trent walked in, holding another set of papers. He smirked evilly.
“Sign the papers” he started and I shook my head.
“No” I said and he smiled.
“Then I’ll take the company rights and give it to Candice” he said and my heart stopped.
“You can’t……..I…I”
“Yes I can” he said and I sighed. There was no point trying to make him see reason. It was obvious his mind had been made up even a long time ago. I stared at the paper and held out my hand for the pen tiredly, the tears refusing to stop falling for my eyes.
He grinned and handed me a pen. I signed next to his signature and he smile widened.
“Good girl, perhaps you find a guy who would take a trash like you. Omegas maybe. No alpha or even a beta in his right senses would even take a rejected crap like you Veronica” he said. I broke down once I was done signing and stared at his face to even check if I would see the tiniest bit of pity or remorse. But when I looked at his face there was nothing. Just the cold weight of his eyes on me.
“Thank you for being smart” he said and took the papers from my shaky hands. “I’ll drop this at the lawyer’s tomorrow. Then it’s official” he said and I sighed.
“I still love you Trent. No matter how hard you push me away” I said and he shrugged.
“Like I said, I don’t. Try thinking of the upcoming red moon festival. I am sure people would have a lot of questions” he said and walked away. After a full thirty minutes of sobbing, I stood to my feet and took only a few of my clothes into the car. I wasn’t taking anything else. I still loved him but maybe it was time to move on. Maybe this was the goddess giving me a sign.
“You can do this Ronnie” my wolf said and I smiled.
“I wish you were right, friend” I replied and shook my head.
I was done with men. Never again was I falling in love
*****Leo climbs on the bed first and shouts, "Mama Veronica, Mama, wake up, the sun is blue-gold today, look!"I open my eyes and I am still in Zephyr's arms and Mira is already on my chest and the other four are pushing at the door, and I laugh, "Good morning, my little prince, did you sleep well under real stars again."Mira says, "Mama, Leo snored, he snored like Papa's wolf, I could not sleep."Zephyr growls playfully and says, "I do not snore, little Mira, alpha kings do not snore, we breathe royal air."Leo giggles and says, "Papa, you do snore, Mama said so yesterday, she said you snore like a big bear after breaking seven hearts."I hit Zephyr's chest lightly and say, "Do not teach them to lie, you do snore, my ruthless and uncaring High King, but I love your snore now."Uncle Richard knocks and opens door and says, "High Queen, High King, your six children are supposed to be in lessons with Lyra, not jumping on your bed."Lyra peeks behind him and says, "Let them jump, Richa
Trent looks at me and bows his head low, "Veronica, High Queen, thank you for freeing us even after what we did to you, red moon pack is yours now if you want, we will follow you and High King Zephyr." Candice runs to me and hugs me even though we have not hugged in years, "Veronica, I am so sorry, you were my best friend and I betrayed you, can you ever forgive me." I hug her back because I am not angry anymore, the crystal made us cruel, and I whisper, "I forgive you, Candice, but I am not coming back to red moon as Luna, I am High Queen now and mother to six, and my home is with Zephyr and Leo under blue sky." She nods and cries harder and steps back, and Zephyr comes to me with Leo and Mira and the other four children, his arms around all of us, and he looks at Trent and says, not cruel but firm, "Red moon will be free pack now, no more harvesting, no more broken bonds as fuel, you will help us find the other five hearts." Trent nods quickly, "Yes, High King, we will." Ly
Veronica's POVThe wagon stops at the border of red moon territory and the air suddenly feels colder and heavier even though the sky above us is still blue from when we broke the capital heart and scattered the golden dust, and Leo is asleep again on my lap with his little golden eyes closed and Mira is holding tight to my dress with her amber eyes wide and scared because she can feel the second heart too even from here.Zephyr gets off his horse and his golden eyes are blazing with that ruthless alpha fire that makes him the most feared alpha in all of America, but his hands are gentle when he reaches into the wagon and lifts Leo and Mira out, one in each arm, and the other four children climb out behind me and hold onto my legs and Richard's and Lyra's hands.In front of us across the pine trees we see the red moon banner, red crescent on black, flying over the council hall where I signed my divorce papers, where Trent alpha of red moon pack told me he did not care about me anymore
Veronica's POVLeo is still holding my hand in sleep and his little fingers are warm and tight around mine even though he is dreaming, and Mira is curled against my other side with her amber eyes finally closed and breathing soft, and the fire in the upper nursery is low and warm and the six small beds are full of sleeping children who were in blue light cages yesterday and now sleep under real blankets for the first time.Zephyr is still sitting on the floor beside our beds with his back against the wall and his greatsword across his knees, his golden eyes are open even though it is early morning and the blue sky is just starting to turn light through the big windows, and he has not slept at all because he is the most feared alpha in all of America but also the father who will not let anyone touch his family ever again."Little wolf, you should sleep a little more," he whispers to me without moving, his voice low so he does not wake Leo and Mira, "we have a long road today to red moo
Veronica's POVLeo is still asleep on my lap and Mira is curled against my side with her little amber eyes finally closed and the other four children are scattered around us on the grass in the sunlit courtyard, and the sky above us is dark now but not purple dark, real dark with real stars that no one in the capital has seen clearly for five hundred years because of Alistair's vault and the council's siphon.Zephyr sits behind me with his back against the marble pillar and his big arms around me and Leo and Mira at the same time, his greatsword is on the ground beside him still glowing faint gold from when we broke the altar and the backup crystal, and his golden eyes watch the stars like he has never seen them before."We should take them inside, little wolf, the night air is getting cold," he whispers to me softly so he does not wake the children, but his voice is still that alpha voice that makes my heart beat fast even when I am tired.I shake my head a little and I hold Mira tig
Veronica's POVLeo is sleeping on my shoulder and his little breath is warm against my neck and his small hands are still holding tight to my pendant even in sleep, and I walk down from the upper gates with Zephyr's big hand holding mine so tight like he is scared I will disappear if he lets go.The blue sky is still bright above the capital and the golden dust Lyra threw out the window is still floating like tiny stars in the wind, and people down in the lower city are coming out of their houses and looking up, confused and hopeful, because for five hundred years the sky was gray and purple from Alistair's magic and now it is blue for the first time."We need to go to the nursery before the dust settles," Lyra says behind us, her voice tired but fast, her bleeding hand wrapped in cloth and her pouch now empty, "the council kept other children of alpha blood as backups, they kept them as little anchors in case the main nexus failed."Uncle Richard nods and his iron sword is still in h
Five How could someone look so handsome yet dangerous at the same time? I watched as he headed my direction and sat in the chair in front of him. I flashed him a drunken grin.“Hi” I said and he ignored me. Or rather just stared, like he was seeing someone for the first time.“Hi” I sai
FourI wasn’t telling him, or anyone. They didn’t deserve to know, no one cared. Trent would want to keep me under tabs for his child which is the exact same reason I didn’t want him to know. I didn’t want to see him again, ever. He had nearly ruined my mental health and my sanity. I didn’t want an
ThreeThe hotel was very from our house, or rather Trent’s and Candice’s house. I had made sure it was so. I had cried for almost an hour immediately I checked in. The realization of what really happened hit me hard and I just didn’t know if I would ever recover. The hotel was nice and distracting
Chapter 6Veronica's POVI could almost feel his eyes burrowing holes at the back of my head as he stared at me for what felt like hours but in reality was just a few seconds." So what do you say? Is the big alpha about to reject me?" I asked him, my voice purring and my speech slurred.He pulled
