Chapter 23
Veronica's POV:
I was surprised by Lucas' sudden kiss, the soft lips that seem to never have enough of mine. I was breathing fast as I shut my eyes and drowned in the pleasure that his lips provided, neglecting every other thing in the room. Suddenly he stopped and pulled his face away from mine, straightened his jacket, and said, "We have to leave now. Dr. Grooves is waiting".His voice was brutally cold and the boring look in his eyes resurfaced. He quickly walked to the door and left. I felt a pang of sadness draw at my wit's end as I turned to the mirror to adjust my dress.What did he mean by "He likes his woman pure and untouched?"Am I his woman? Did he develop feelings for me overnight?These thoughts plagued my mind as we drove silently to the hospital."Hey Lucas," Dr. Grooves greeted, smiling broadly as his face shone brightly like his crisp lab coat."Veronica, how're you doing?" He greeted me. "Good morning, DocRelated chapters

Henry's POV:"Sorry, do I know you?" She asked, looking at me in confusion.I was both surprised and shocked at the same time. She still glows with her smiles "Yes, where have you been? Everyone has been looking for you." I asked her almost immediately."Uh mm. What? I'm sorry you must be mistaken for someone else" she said and began to walk away."Veronica, can you really not recognize me or you're feigning ignorance? Everyone has been looking for you at home" I asked, irritation churning in my gut.As I took her by the hand, I noticed three guys walking up to where I stood. I recognized Lucas, the Lycan King's son, and two others whose faces didn't ring a bell."Young Man, do you have any problem with her Highness?" The shorter one amongst the friends asked."First, take your filthy hands off my sister's body," Lucas roared with a stern look on his face. I slowly released Veronica's hand from my grip and she

Lucas POV:The drive back home was short and uneventful. Veronica sat beside me busy with her phone and silent throughout the drive. I was still in deep thought about what mum told me earlier."Why will dad do such a thing?" I thought to myself. I have been trying my best to prove to my dad that I can lead the pack as the Alpha, Veronica on the other hand cannot even shapeshift. "Why will dad think she will make a good Luna?"I turned and stole a look at Veronica, there was a hatred for her rising inside me as I watched her drown herself with some videos on her phone. Mum was right, I knew my dad very well, once his mind is made up on something, no one can change it. Even the moon goddess will need a miracle to change my father's mind. I had to go along with her plan.Seducing Veronica was not going to be a hard task for me. The poor girl was already in love with me, all I needed to do was play on those feelings.I pulled o

Malia's POV:Immediately I and Tyler got back from the meeting we had with Philip Perry, the Alpha of the Crescent Pack. I went into my room, took a shower, and dressed in a handmade gown. Tyler had some political issues to discuss with the pack's council members so he left the palace almost immediately. I brought out my phone from my purse and dialed Lucas' number, he picked up the third ring."I need you to come back as quick as you can, we have a situation—" I began hastily but he quickly interrupted before I could explain why I called."Alright mom," he said and the line went dead. I paced around the large study room, anxiety crawling over my skin as I shuddered at the thought of the day's events.I and Tyler had gotten to the Crescent Pack and the Alpha welcomed us warmly and introduced us to his family. The last time we visited Crescent Pack was seventeen years ago, during the mating season. My worst fear was coming to pass as I watched

Lucas POV:"I want you to teach me how to fight," she said, her eyes intense.I couldn't believe what I was hearing when Veronica asked me to teach her how to fight. I mean, she's a princess, for crying out loud! I thought to myself."Lucas, please," Veronica said, looking up at me with her big, pleading eyes. "I just want to know how to defend myself in case something happens."I sighed, running a hand through my hair. "Veronica, I understand your concern, but you're a princess. You shouldn't be fighting anyone. Besides, you have guards to protect you."Veronica's expression turned stubborn, and I knew she wasn't going to take no for an answer. "I'm not asking to learn how to fight to go out and start trouble, Lucas. I just want to be prepared in case something happens. Please, I need your help."I shook my head, feeling torn. On the one hand, I understood where she was coming from, but on the other hand, I didn't want to encour

Lucas POV:"But I want it. I can't resist you anymore, Lucas" she pleaded, her eyes searching for mine. I heaved a sigh.I knew this was my perfect opportunity to seduce her but I knew I shouldn't rush things so I don't come off as desperate."Veronica, I can't. You're my sister and we shouldn't be doing this. I'm sorry for kissing you earlier," I said as I stood up but Veronica's hand pulled on my elbow, forcing me to stop in my tracks."I'm in love with you, Lucas. I know it doesn't make sense but that is how I feel," she pleaded as tears began to well up at the corners of her eyes."Vee, you're my sister. It is absolutely wrong for us to be in a sexual relationship besides dad has visited the Crescent Pack and sent an invitation to the members of the Crescent Pack so they can come to our pack during the full moon festival. That way you can find a mate who you'll eventually learn to love," I explained, feigning care."I don't w

Veronica's POV:My heart stopped beating briefly as I stared at the door and back at Lucas. I was sopping wet in between my legs and my core still throbbed with the pleasure that Lucas gave. He turned to me and motioned me to get dressed as he quickly stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.I quickly threw on my clothes, trying to make myself presentable, while Lucas pretended to be closing the first aid box. I took a deep breath and opened the door, praying that my father wouldn't suspect anything."What is going on here?" my father demanded, his voice filled with curiosity.I tried to play it cool, even though I was shaking with nerves. "Oh, hey, Dad. Lucas was just helping me with my training. I sustained a minor injury while we were practicing sword fighting."My father's face darkened. "Sword fighting? Veronica, you know better than that. You are a princess, not a warrior."Lucas quickly spoke up, t

Lucas POV:I paced back and forth in my room, my heart racing and my mind in turmoil. My dad had almost caught me making out with Veronica, and now I couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt and shame. As I struggled to calm down, my thoughts wandered to Matilda, even though she isn't my mate, it still felt like I just cheated on her. What have I done?Suddenly, I heard a loud noise coming from my dad's study room. I froze for a moment, wondering what could have happened. Then, I heard a loud scream, and my instincts kicked in. I ran to the study room, my heart pounding in my chest.When I got there, I found Veronica on the floor, her face pale and her eyes wide with shock. My dad was lying on the ground next to her, his face contorted in pain."Dad!" I yelled, rushing to his side. "What happened?"Veronica shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I don't know," she said. "We were talking, and then he just collapsed."I che

Lucas POV:"What am I doing here? I'm here because Dad is sick and in the hospital," Veronica replied as Matilda stared at her quizzically. I bet Veronica is pissed off but can't even show how annoyed she felt at seeing Matilda at the hospital. She had to keep my frustration to myself so everyone does not get the impression that she was in love with me."Vee, are you okay?" Matilda asked, withdrawing her arm from mine."I'm fine. Uh mm, Lucas can I talk to you for a few minutes?" Veronica stuttered, looking at me in a pleading manner."Sure," I said in a cold voice. The boring look on my face resurfaced again."Hey, Lucas, I don't feel too well. I think I should head home", she said resting her soft palm on my arm but I subtly withdrew his arm from my grip. I didn't want Matilda to get the wrong idea."It's okay. I'll call your chauffeur to drive you back to the palace while I remain here," I replied gruffly and proceed
