Lucas' POV:"Are you being serious right now, mom?" I questioned. I can't believe that my mom was asking me to seduce my step-sister into falling in love with me."I know it sounds awkward but that's the only option we have left", she paused as her eyes quickly darted to the door."If she falls in love with you and eventually chooses you as her mate, you still get a shot at the throne. Think about it Lucas, the Luna's mate is the Alpha, and irrespective of whoever that person is, he will be the one to lead Nightshade Pack" she added."Mom, I'll have to think about this," I said as I stood up and made for the door."Lucas", she called out, making me stop in my tracks briefly. "I'm sorry for making you do this," she said with an emotion-laden voice.I heaved as I walked out of the room. I got to my bedroom and settled for a cold shower. I let the water spurt over my skin as I ruminated over the night's event. My mom's request sounded outrageous and I couldn't imagine falling in love wit

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

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:"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

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
