Chapter 40
Lucas POV:
I dismissed Matilda immediately and headed to the palace. My little hide-and-seek game has been exposed and I had to find a plausible excuse that would sweep her off her feet. Turning towards the hallway that led to my room, I met Parrish coming in the opposite direction."Hey man, what are you doing in the palace?" I asked, surprised to see him walk into the palace on his own freewill because Parrish wasn't the political kind of person"Your Majesty," Parrish greeted. It felt odd because he barely speaks to me formally."What the fuck is going on. You know what, let's go inside my room and talk," I quickly said, gesturing at my room's door.We walked into my room and Parrish mouthed a 'what the fuck' in surprise as he looked around the large and sparsely furnished room."So much simplicity for a Prince, yeah?" Parrish mocked, a wide grin spread across his face. I inhaled deeply as I took off my training clothes andRelated chapters

Veronica's POV:It was getting dark and after I spent an hour crying out my heart, I headed back to my room. As I got into my room, I walked into the bathroom and slumped into the bathtub, and sank into the warm water that seemed to briefly wash away my sorrows. I couldn't believe that Lucas could betray me in such a way. I loved him with every fiber of my being and offered my body to him on a platter but he chose to be with Matilda, a mere pack warrior.Anger boiled in my stomach as I recalled the events of the day. I blinked away the tears from dropping. I have cried a lot today and I was having a throbbing headache. I heard a soft knock on the door but I felt too numb to lift myself from the bathtub. I had found solace in the little confinement of the bathtub and I wasn't willing to leave yet."Who's there?" My voice croaked. Somehow, I expected it to be Lucas. Despite how much he hurt me, I still wanted to see him again and maybe hope that he will apol

Lucas' POV:I couldn't believe my eyes when I stared at the message notification from Matilda which read:"I know all your dirty little secrets with Veronica and how you and the queen intend on killing Veronica. I'm sure you don't want anyone else to hear your secrets. You know where to find me"My heart pounded against my chest as I walked out of Veronica's room and through the dimly lit palace hallway, ignoring the confused stare I got from Veronica's lady-in-waiting. I walked to my room and picked up my car keys and a pair of white joggers. My stomach knotted in anger and fear and as I headed to the garage, I aggressively brushed past a palace servant and the tray he held in his hand came crashing on the floor but I didn't spare him a glance.I climbed into my car and kicked the engine to life, my heart thumping loudly as I gripped the steering wheel tightly and drove out of the palace gates. I got to the entrance of the dense forest where I an
The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter 43
Matilda's POV:As I clung to Lucas in the branch of the sycamore tree, the darkness of the dense woods enveloped us. Our naked bodies pressed close, seeking comfort and solace in each other's arms. We had been caught in a moment of passion, but now we were hidden, waiting, listening.Footsteps approached, and my heart pounded in my chest. Lucas and I exchanged worried glances, our breaths coming out in shallow gasps. We strained our eyes to see through the darkness, and as the figure drew closer, I recognized him - Parrish, Lucas' friend.My grip on Lucas tightened as we watched in horror. Parrish was dragging a smaller guy by the scruff of his neck. I could barely make out the guy's face, battered and bruised from the blows Parrish was landing on him at intervals. Parrish suddenly transformed into his wolf form, his fur bristling with rage, and the smaller guy followed suit. The two wolves circled each other, growling and snarling, their eyes gl

Veronica's POV:I saw Matilda heading in my direction and I couldn't stand the thought of acting inferior before her. I won't let her snatch Lucas from me. I walked up to her with a forceful smile on my face."Hi, Matilda, it's been a while," I said, stretching my hand for a handshake. She was taken aback by my sudden friendliness and stared at me in surprise. After a few minutes of hesitation, she composed herself and genuflected briefly."Your Highness," she greeted, bowing in respect."Where's the King?" I asked, looking at her with disdain. My intentions were simply to make her feel small and insignificant in every possible way. "He's in a meeting with Jason," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'd be on my way now if you don't mind.""Sure, you should leave right away," I retorted, stepping aside as she brushed past me in a hurry. "So you don't try to seduce the Prince again."She paused in her tracks

Veronica's POV:"Veronica, I've been waiting for this moment," he said softly. "You know how much you mean to me, and I would be honored to be your mate."Relief washed over me, and I couldn't help but smile back at him. His words filled me with a sense of reassurance and happiness."But, Veronica," Lucas continued, his tone serious. "I want you to be sure about this decision. It's not just about tradition or duty. It's about love, and being with someone who truly makes you happy."I appreciated his honesty and sincerity. I knew that Lucas cared for me deeply, and I had always felt a strong connection with him. But at the same time, I couldn't ignore the nagging doubt in the back of my mind."I understand, Lucas," I said softly. "I do care for you, but I want to be sure that our feelings are genuine and not just influenced by the expectations of the festival."Lucas nodded understandingly, and I could see the sincerity in his eye
The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter 46
Lucas POV:I hesitated for a moment before deciding to call Parrish. We hadn't talked since our last meeting, and I wanted to check in on him. As I dialed his number, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness. I didn't know what to expect from our conversation, but I knew I had to try."Hello?" Parrish answered on the other end."Hey, it's Lucas," I said. "How are you doing?""I'm hanging in there," he replied. "What's up?""I was thinking we should meet up and talk," I said. "Maybe at Sinema club?"Parrish hesitated for a moment before agreeing. "Okay, let's do it. When are you thinking?""How about tonight?" I suggested."That works for me," Parrish said. "I'll see you there."As I made my way to the club, my nerves started to get the best of me. I wasn't sure what I was going to say to Parrish, but I knew I had to talk to him about Veronica.As I walked into the Sinema club, the dimly lit interior engulfed me in a haze of smoke and the scent of alcohol. I scanned the room, se

Veronica's POV:As I walked into the palace sitting room, I immediately sensed something was off. The Queen, Lucas, and Chloe were all huddled together, whispering in hushed tones. They looked up in surprise as I entered the room, and I could feel their eyes boring into me."What's going on?" I asked, trying to keep my tone light."Veronica, dear, we were just discussing some palace matters," the Queen said, trying to sound reassuring.I wasn't convinced. "Is everything alright?" I pressed, my heart beating a little faster.Lucas finally spoke up. "Veronica, let's go talk in your room."I nodded, grateful for the chance to speak to him alone. As we walked down the hallway, I couldn't help but feel a knot forming in my stomach. What could they have been talking about that they didn't want me to hear?Once we were in my room, I turned to face Lucas. "What's going on?" I asked again, my voice barely above a whisper.Lucas hesitated for a moment before finally speaking. "Veronica, I don't
The Alpha's Rejected Mate Chapter 48
Veronica's POV:Lucas slumped onto the bed beside me, panting heavily as sweat trickled down his face. I couldn't believe what I heard. He just called Matilda's name while cumming inside me."Lucas, have you had sex with Matilda before?" I asked, my voice rough with emotions.Lucas looked at me and sighed. He rubbed his temple and stared at the ceiling as though he was looking for the right words to say. "Yeah, just once. And that was a long time ago."I couldn't get myself to believe Lucas but I was desperately in love with him and I didn't want to lose him to another woman, especially Matilda.We lay on the bed, facing the ceiling as awkward silence wrapped around us. My mind was filled with the thought of the full moon festival. I can't wait to formally introduce Lucas as my mate in the presence of the entire pack members. I would be his Luna when he becomes the Lycan King. I smiled contentedly as I imagined the beautiful life filled w
