VERONICA."Who could that be?" Alexander asked, and I could only stare at him in surprise. How does he expect me to know that he was the one who brought me here?"Did Joy just ask me? You should know instead.""I wouldn't know. We have to head to my pack right now," he said, but he didn't make any attempt or take any action for us to leave. He just kept staring at me, his eyes filled with an unusual intensity."What? You should lead the way, then," I reminded him, in case he had forgotten that he should take charge of the situation."I thought you could... umm, teleport? Just open a portal or something, and we can get out of here," Alexander said, his voice tinged. I looked at him, wondering who he actually is and that he knew every detail of mine.Really, Alpha Alex? You should have said you wanted to use me for your own advantages and"Shut your mouth and do what I say, woman!" He yelled. My heart sank to my belly as I saw the other side of him. I didn't know how to open a portal or
VERONICATheman was in front of me a matter of seconds ago. If I had moved a lot faster, that could have made my skill pop like the cork of a wine.People stopped for a while, but no one screamed. I just couldn't believe that cars are also weapons that could kill someone. I looked away, not wanting to see the disgusting site.My dress has been ruined too, and I feel the blood drying on my skin. The driver of the truck jumped down from his seat to take a look at the man who just died before my very own eyes.No one spared me a glance. Everyone was busy looking at the mother and taking pictures. Somehow, I feel that this was a normal occurrence here.My legs suddenly became wobbly, and I couldn't walk anymore. The pain was somewhat unbearable for me.I spin around to walk away and find somewhere to breathe and rest a little. People were now crossing the road in groups, deserting the accident scene.Even with the crowd, I couldn't walk with them as the memories of what happened flashed b
VERONICA "You can't be serious, miss. Do not take my kindness for something else, huh? I do not have a place for you to stay; you can just stay in a hotel room," she said, moving away from me again."Hotel??. What's that?" I mumbled to myself. I have never heard of it before, and I wonder what it would take me to find one."Are you seriously joking, ma?" Okay, an inn. Let's break it down to your own level," she replied, getting all pissed off.Oh, thanks, but I wonder where I could find one," I asked, pretending to know what a hotel is in order not to look so awkward. My clothing combination is already making me look like a fool, not to mention adding spice to my predicament."They are everywhere. 70% of Italy is filled with nice hotels, so go and book one for yourself. I nodded and started walking away from her. Wait, did she just say Italy? The reality of her words struck me. How could I possibly be in Italy by now? For the last I could remember, Ravenswood was in the United States
KING GRIMGORIt was already late at night, and neither my father nor Veronica had returned. If that old man did anything to Veronica, I wouldn't forgive him. I hated the fact that I did not know where Veronica went. It was just so annoying that I couldn't even reach my father.That night, I didn't sleep a wink. I paced up and down in my room, just wishing for a miracle to bring Luna home. The next morning, I am going to report her missing and question the other packs. If she had left me a clue or something. She didn't even try to mind-link me for help; was she really that annoyed with me?It wasn't supposed to be so simple, but I will take the task of finding Veronica as my first since I became king of Ravenswood.I didn't even know when I drifted to sleep on my office table; maybe for five minutes, I am not so sure, but when I woke up, the weather was already bright enough for me to check out if Veronica had returned overnight.She hasn't. She fuckin hasn't returned.I headed to my
VERONICAI woke up with a start, gasping for breath as if I had been running in a marathon. My eyes were puffy, and a dull ache throbbed behind my temples. Another night of restless sleep plagued by haunting nightmares I let out a weary sigh, realizing that I must have cried myself to sleep again. It had become an all-too-familiar routine, my subconscious betraying me in the darkest hours of the night.Reluctantly, I dragged myself out of bed, trying to shake off the remnants of the dreams that lingered in my mind like a heavy fog. I knew that avoiding sleep altogether was not a sustainable solution. I went to the fridge, which was just In my room, and opened a can of bottled water and then gulped it down at once. I went back to bed feeling a lot better. I sat and enjoyed the night view from my window. The beautiful city of Italy I smiled to myself as I breathed heavily.Today I pleaded to have a night shift and work at night instead. I called in sick, and they almost gave me a free w
VERONICAI grew more tired as the evening drew by. I made sure I slept as much as I could and then got myself ready for my evening shift, which will be in an hour.This time around, I will be doing a very different kind of job. Normally I work as a waiter, helping Antonio, and then as a cleaner. I would clean and watch every room in both the 3rd and 4th series of the hotel building.But this night, it's different. I would only have to deliver food and answer any urgent calls from any of their customers.I got ready for work, and once I got to the reception counter, I fell. It was as if he was waiting patiently for me to come, and once I did, he picked up the telephone and dialed the number.I quickly took his order and started out to his room.As I stepped into the dimly lit corridor of the luxurious hotel, I suddenly felt a knot in my stomach. I don't know why, but I am not the type to usually feel anxious over nothing.Maybe because. Tonight was my first night shift at the hotel. I
KING GRIMGOR..Even in The streets, I wait to hear about anyone's opinion on where Veronica could be. I traveled far and near Washington until I got a little idea about a similar happening. Moreover, it is Obvious that Veronica is nowhere in Washington.I was also on the verge of giving up when I Heard that the princess of the crescent moon pack was also kidnapped, although she had returned and became more miserable, so his father wouldn't let anyone see her.But I needed to. I went over to his pack, but his guards wouldn't let me in. At first I was annoyed, and if this resulted in war, I am sure that I would crush them before they could best one of my men.Of all the things Ravenswood has, the strongest warriors are among them, so I didn't need to put in so much effort, but because of the circumstances, I didn't have a choice but to make this as peaceful as it could be. I understand his reasons. It's his daughter we are talking about.I sent a message to him, begging him that I was st
ALEXANDERI never knew Veronica was this brave. All this time, I have been trying to make her believe that she has special powers. Little did I know that she was also trying her best to make me believe it. She knew all this time that she had special abilities and made me act like a fool all this time.I hated the fact that I would have to help her out with both realizing that she has powers and then using them the right way in order not to get her energy drained. Actually, I left her to be at the hotel for all this while preparing the place she would stay for the tests.I watched as she used her powers, pretending to be shocked. I just wanted to know what she was capable of. When she asked for the door to be opened, I sincerely did, knowing she wouldn't last long. No wonder she eats a lot. She sure needs all these foods she consumes in order for her body to work perfectly. She sure deserves to be a foodie.I swear, I have never seen anyone with that much power. I just hope my experime
