Astrid/ Veronica's POVI ran as fast as I could. As I opened the door, the face of Beta Ivan was the first thing I saw. His serious face quickly shifted to a worried one as he looked at me intently."What happened?" he asked in a worried voice.I sobbed as I stared at his ocean blue eyes. I really didn't know why he was so kind toward me. It made me confused sometimes. These mixed signals choke me sometimes.I didn't want to assume, but his actions were quite weird and suspicious.I wiped away my tears, but still, I failed to stop myself from crying.He was about to approach me but stopped when we heard the voice of Alpha Vincent inside his chamber."Beta Ivan..." he called.I didn't want the Alpha to see me in this kind of state. I didn't want him to see me as pitiful. I was genuinely glad that he was already fine. But seeing him with another woman literally broke my heart.Without further ado, I ran away. Beta Ivan attempted to follow me, but he stopped himself when the Alpha calle

Vincent’s POVRight away, Beta Ivan set an appointment with our pack doctor for me. And now, we were here in the pack doctor’s office. I was sitting on the chair facing the pack doctor. He put his hands on the table and intertwined them.“What makes you here, Alpha Vincent? Do you feel anything wrong after your wounds healed?” he asked and looked at me intently.I heaved a sigh and massaged my temple. Thinking about what was happening to me between my inner wolf made me feel stressed.“Yeah… I just noticed that I can’t communicate with Jacob, and I don’t know why. Also, when my Beta and I were wandering inside the forest, rogues attacked us. That time, I was struggling to shift because Jacob was missing,” I said and ran my fingers through my hair.The doctor became silent after hearing my explanation. He stared at me first before he stood up. He walked away and headed to his mini library inside his office and searched for a book that no one knew what it was. He ran his fingers in ever

Astrid’s/Veronica’s POVI was busy cleaning the public restroom of the packhouse, but I stopped when I heard screams and cries outside.My heart pounded hard due to nervousness, and I quickly got out of the restroom. And there, I saw people running. I could see far away in my distance, there is a bright orange-yellow light and dark smoke in the forest.“Veronica!!!”My attention shifted to someone who called my name then I saw Clara, quickly running to approach my direction.“Clara, what is happening?” I couldn’t help but ask as I looked at the people running, heading to the forest.“I don’t know either. Let’s see,” she said and held my right wrist. She started dragging me away from the restroom.Then, I suddenly remembered my task. I was not done cleaning the restroom yet, and I don’t want to get punished for not doing it on time. Plus, I was trying so hard to not see the Alpha face to face. I didn’t want to see him yet. I don’t know how to react after I saw him making out with a she

Astrid’s / Veronica’s POV“Are you okay?” Beta Ivan asked when he saw my discomfort after I left the Alpha’s office.He quickly followed me as I walked along the pathway.“Y-Yeah… It is just…” I gulped when I remembered what happened between Vincent and me.He just burst out earlier for the reason that I don’t know, and admit it or not, I was hella terrified. That was the first time I saw the Alpha’s golden eye turn into black, and that was pretty scary. It made my knees tremble in an instant.He was really furious at that moment. No joke.“Veronica…” Beta Ivan called my name softly and held my right arm.I was startled at what he did that brought me back to the present. I blinked my eyes a couple of times and looked at his face. I saw he was curious about what happened inside.“Did the Alpha hurt you?” he asked.Why did the way he asked that question seem like if ever I say yes he will go to the Alpha’s office and beat up Vincent?I stared intently at his face, and I saw how serious

Astrid’s / Veronica’s POVAlpha Vincent looked in my direction as his chest moved up and down rapidly. As if he was having a hard time thinking of leaving this commotion to face the visitors.He just shut his eyes and breathed deeply to calm himself. As soon as he opened his eyes, he turned his back on me and quickly left the dining area. I sighed in relief.Beta Ivan glanced in my direction first before he followed the Alpha.Now, only me and Clara left. I looked in her direction, and I could still see the fear drawn in her eyes. I quickly approached her and hugged her tightly.“I’m so sorry, Clara… I’m so sorry,” I apologized and cried.She didn’t utter a word. She just hugged me back tightly and cried badly on my shoulders. I could feel her body trembling out of fear. I caressed her hair and hushed her to calm her down.Because of me, she fell into this situation. I couldn’t help but feel guilty.Alpha Vincent’s POV“What are they doing here?!” I yelled and gritted my teeth as I
