Human Marks
Veronica POV
Today is moving day. After living in the townhouse for the last 8 weeks I was happy for the change. Nikola had worked so hard on the house before meeting me, it seemed like a waste to not occupy it. I hadn’t made the trip since Torvi graduated 2 weeks ago. I was anxious to see what Nikola had accomplished.
With all the ‘off the books’ research Nikola and I had been doing, we reduced our office hours to Tuesday and Thursdays. I didn’t think commuting 2 days a week would be very difficult, plus I had the best co-pilot. Jessie and Torvi both agreed to commute from the new location as well.
Christmas is in a few days so all of us are on holiday for the time being. Theo seemed to be on edge lately. He had expressed concern with us living on the pack land, not trusting the wolves. Nikola had been working on an exception for a vampir

The Empath's Mate Endure the Pain
Veronica POV As Tovi and Jessie’s footsteps grew further away, I began to feel dizzy. A sharp pain in my abdomen caused me to take a sharp breath in. Nikola sensing my distress, spoke but I was not able to make out what it was. The pain in my stomach pulsed again this time causing heat to spread outward. My boiling blood caused me to cry out. I threw myself from Nikola’s tight grasp as my body convulsed. I managed a few words with no idea if Nikola heard me. Blood on fire, pain, what’s happening may have also been asked. “Roni!” I finally heard his voice and slowly began to force myself to breath. &nb
The Empath's Mate Repairing the Bond
Nikola POV Veronica and I walked into the house from the back porch. She wore my jacket beautifully. I took the blanket from near the fire to cover myself. There was no way to know if Torvi and Jessie had returned. My stepdad sat in the living room. “I hope you are feeling better now dear.” Don opened; Roni blushed. “How is this possible?” I asked calmly. “She must have a wolf ancestor. I believe when you marked her, she would have shifted at the following full moon. The magic that was performed to break your bond, it prevented the shift from taking place.”
The Empath's Mate Ice
Veronica POV The trip off the pack lands seemed to take forever rather than the quick 10-minute trip I had gotten used to. I began to think of it as a long driveway. Nikola was naturally upset when I had requested to speak with my vampire bestie. I tried to stay silent in the car, I attempted to drive myself and was quickly denied. When Nikola said I could send a message where and when to meet I was relieved. I thought he would’ve tried to refuse my request. I watched him carefully out of the corner of my eye. It seemed like he was having an internal battle, so I decided to pry. “Are you upset I am a wolf too now?” I asked quietly but loud enough he could hear. By the sound of his hear
The Empath's Mate Oaths
Nikola POV The ride to the packhouse was quiet. I knew that Roni didn’t truly have feelings for Theo. I could feel it in the bond. The connection she had with him hurt her just as much as it hurt me. The truth was, I admired her heart and strength. I had arranged my mother and sister to meet us after our meeting with Peter this afternoon. I knew Roni didn’t like surprises, but this included food and shopping. I figured she could get to know them before this BBQ and feel more comfortable. Torvi agreed to meet them in town too. As I pulled into the Packhouse, I racked my brain trying to understand Roni shifting. The packhouse itself was a giant hall, 4 guestrooms down one hall, a ridicul
The Empath's Mate Scent
Theo POV My mind was going in a million directions as Nikola’s truck pulled out of the parking lot. I sat in my Audi for a few minutes punching the steering wheel a few times before I apologize to the car. How had she shifted into a wolf? There was no way I could possibly save her now. I began driving towards the airstrip. My father had been clear when putting me in charge of this task force. Previously he had assigned the one person I despised most, Igor. Luckily after Igor’s little screw up when he tried using dark magic to sever the bond without the King’s approval, he was… reassigned. Yes, of all the things I had kept hidden from her, that would take the cake. I was not just a vampire, but a vampire prince. My father, King James, had been king for the last 200 year
The Empath's Mate Shy
Veronica POV After we returned to the house, I went to lay down for 30 minutes before I needed to shower. All the emotions I was experiencing, mixed with my new wolf senses, and being over stimulated all day, easily mixed for a disaster. Luckily, Nikola insisted I had some time to myself while his mother gave him the details of our afternoon. Torvi and Sage had taken all the bags into her room to begin prepping for the evening. Torvi was usually a wallflower, I liked seeing Sage bring her out of her shell. Jessie tried his best to blend into the couch as they walked past. I was worried about Theo. I knew he could handle himself but there was something he wasn’t telling me. I could feel
The Empath's Mate Pack Power
Veronica POV “I can smell them, this way.” She hummed as I followed. “You can smell them like that?” I asked amazed. “I can smell Niko, he is my son, I will never mistake his scent.” She was so proud as we entered the kitchen where Niko tossed something into his mouth. “Is that what that is?” I questioned following her trying to adjust to my new abilities. “You look…” Niko just paused looking at me. I blushed thinking it was too much for a simple barbeque. Jasmine was dressed similar with her hair in a bun. “Absolutely stunning… I will never forget the way you look right now. I have burned the image into my memory.” His voice was filled with love.
The Empath's Mate Forward
Veronica POV Last night was the best night of my life. I thought that was the night before, but it seemed to be improving daily. I could not pretend to be upset. My life had been so dull, I was finally feeling alive and free. I felt a new beginning that I wouldn’t stop if I could. I was ready for this new journey. Nikola had carried me home last night; well, I guess partially. I drank way too much; the younger wolves had challenged us to a drinking game after insulting our ages. They would hurt just as bad in the morning, I thought to myself. Nikola stirred next to me; I woke up with a horrible feeling something happened to Theo. I snuggled closer to Niko keeping the bad thoughts locke
