Her eyes glided over to the ink on his skin, starting from his neck and spreading like a canvas on his shoulder and arm. The patterns were so beautiful and captivating. "You like them?""Yeah," It left her lips before she could stop it, so to hide her embarrassment she kept her gaze fixed on his chest. Violet gulped, as she wiped all the blood away. She could see his muscles, the strong shoulders, that broad sturdy chest, and those Greek God-like abs followed by a very prominent V line, she forced her eyes to stay rooted on his chest. He had such a captivating physique. "It must've hurt a lot?""Not really.""Violet...""Yes," She was almost breathless. His proximity was doing things to her that she couldn't control, the sensations so foreign to her body. Her stomach was quivering and she wondered why. "I want to kiss you," He rasped and her eyes snapped up meeting his gaze. Her lips parted, too stunned to speak nor did he let her, his lips came crashing down on hers with such fo
Violet was strolling in the garden. A week had passed since she treated his wounds and they slept on the same bed while he cuddled the life out of her. When she woke up in the morning she was in her room. He kept his promise. King Azure had informed her about the situation back in her kingdom. No one was aware that Violet and her sisters were alive except for Hunter. So people were rebelling. For now, the vampires had kept the castle safe and no one could claim the throne. They presumed that vampires would take over and that was why they were being hostile and planning a war against the vampire kingdom. The king didn't say anything apart from that, it sounded like he was informing her about the situation of her kingdom but she was intelligent enough to know the meaning behind all this. He wanted her to quickly decide everything before the bloodshed and massacre. The turmoil in her heart was chaotic and messy but she had eventually come to a decision. It was hard for her but she kne
Her lips wobbled and she was frozen like ice. Her mind went blank and her heartbeat accelerated to an abnormal pace. Lennox's head snapped at her and her breath hitched upon witnessing the deadly blank look in his eyes. The way he was looking at her had her heart churning in her ribcage. He was waiting for her to confirm what the man had just said. She was scared, terrified out of her wits, not knowing what to say. "My mate!" The man roared again, fearless. Her eyes snapped to the man as she forced herself not to step back. "Mate," It was a mere whisper but Lennox heard it and that man read her lips. "Princess! You're alive." That man rumbled. Her throat clogged up. He even knew she was a princess. "You're my mate," He repeated as if he couldn't believe it. A stone-like obstruction in her throat left her with difficulty in breathing. Her shivering gaze fell on the man standing close to her and her heart coiled in fear seeing that deadly look in his eyes. There was only one thin
Violet was escorted to the dungeons by Lennox. He was right beside her as Dana walked behind them. Violet didn't want Lennox to be there. She wouldn't be able to talk if he stayed there but she had a feeling if she told him to leave her alone with her mate, he might not let her meet him at all. She noticed that all the rogues from last night were kept in separate dungeons. When Lennox escorted her to the basement she was surprised to find there was a huge jail below because she thought he kept his captives at the warehouse. The closer she got to her mate, his scent got stronger. She could feel that he was near. Violet was scared. She was never the type to cause someone pain but today she might hurt someone and that person was her mate. The one moon Goddess chose for her. They came to a halt in front of silver bars. Her mate was on the other side. His eyes snapped up but he didn't say anything nor did he move. His gaze flickered between Lennox and Violet before they solely set on h
Her head was pounding and the cold chilling air had her body shivering. She wanted to move and grab her blanket but when she tried to move she realized she wasn't in her bed. Her eyes snapped open and the blinding light of the day had her eyes squinting. She blinked again and slowly her vision cleared. The first thing she noticed was strong arms around her frame. She found herself in the forest in Shane's arms. He was carrying her. His dark brown eyes were fixed ahead. Her heart ceased to beat. Violet was frozen in sheer terror. She didn't know what was happening.Her head was a jumbled mess. How did she end up there? She didn't remember anything. How was this possible? Where were the guards? Shane didn't only escape the dungeons but even abducted her. The fact that she couldn't remember anything after passing out was like a hollow space in her memories. She was losing her mind. Violet struggled to get out of his hold. The sparks were there but her heart was a chaotic disaster. She
Lennox was in his room. He couldn't sleep. He had spent the whole day with Violet. Made sure she had dinner along with her sisters before he put her to bed and came back to his room. He kept tossing and turning but the urge to let his beast loose on Shane was stronger than ever. He wanted to beat that bastard and cut him into little pieces but he had promised Violet he wouldn't hurt Shane before King Azure sealed his case with whatever punishment that bastard was worthy of. Lennox wasn't a drinker but he did have some alcohol to get rid of the tension but it was of no help. His demons were losing control. He felt like hunting or more like torturing that bastard but he didn't do it. The crazed adrenaline was intense but he f*cking refrained. He just stayed in his room glaring at the clock and anxiously waiting for the sunrise. She did say she chose him twice but the fact she begged for that f*cker's life didn't sit well with him. There was a burning volcano poaching through hi
Her body was heavy like a mountain. She could barely move her hand. Her neck throbbed and her head pounded. With much difficulty, she opened her eyes to find herself in a dark room. Her vision was blurred but the ceiling didn't belong to her room. She tried to move but every pore of her body ached. The memories came crashing down as soon as she got her senses back and her heart dropped. Violet sat up abruptly only to wince. Her hand shot up as she touched her neck. It hurt so much but she stiffened upon realizing there was no mark on her neck. She touched more of her skin but the mark was gone and despite that, it hurt so much. Lennox killed Shane. Those haunting memories flashed in front of her eyes. This explained why her body was in so much pain and why the mark was gone. Her sisters! Violet got out of bed but it was a wrong move. Dizziness hit her and she stumbled, barely saving herself from falling. Her legs trembled as if she had no strength left in her body. It was as i
She flinched, yearning to dissolve within the mattress and escape from the deadly ferocity of the monster hovering over her. She didn't recognize this man. Her eyes were closed and she refused to look at the haunting image, not wanting to plague herself with nightmares that would follow. She wouldn't open her eyes no matter what he said. She didn't want to see in those dead pits that promised her ruination. "Didn't you hear me or were you unable to understand?" He barked while squeezing her wrists painfully for emphasis on each of his words. "I said f*cking strip. What was not understandable about this?" He sneered, leaning down as his harsh breath caressed her face. Violet jerked her head to the side feeling fear, anger, and disgust bubbling in her stomach. Her action offended him immensely. He ‘tsked’ at her pathetic tactics. In one swift move, he pushed her arms up, holding both of her wrists with one of his hands above her head while his free hand found its hold on her
Lennox was grinning. Wide. His eyes twinkled with charm as he gazed at the love of his life donning a white gown and standing in front, hands in hands, eyes locked, smiles reflecting. Violet was the most beautiful thing that ever happened to him. And he needs to f*cking thank Silvia for shoving Violet into his life. She must've had one of her visions so she knew Violet belonged to Lennox. "You may kiss the bride." Lennox snaked his arm around her waist and tugged her to him. Their bodies flushed, his fingers grabbing the nape of her neck as he meshed his lips with hers. He kissed her like it was their last f*cking kiss. Passionate, strong, and claiming. She inclined backward as he hovered over her, holding her captive in his strong arms. He kissed her passionately, sucking in her bottom lip before chasing her lips again. As soon as his tongue plunged into her mouth to caress hers, he was in heaven. She tasted divine, like sweet wine and his eternity combined. They broke th
"Eyes on me." He rumbled that thrummed through her core. She tried to pull back but he grabbed her thighs, spread them wide, and dived down. His tongue darted out and he swiped her wetness. She gasped. Her body reacted strongly to the foreign sensation. "Lennox." She breathed, attempting to push him away but he grabbed her wrists and tugged her closer so that his face was buried in her folds. Her eyes slammed shut feeling his lips, his hot ragged breaths, wet tongue, and skilful mouth. Her body quivered. Her thighs clenching, caving him in. He grabbed her wrists with one hand and with the other he spread her legs wider. His tattooed hand stood out on her creamy white skin. His canines caressed her sensitive skin and she let out a whimper of fear mixed with raw desire that had cocooned her body in its clutches. Her wolf was going wild, fighting to come forward and peek at him to her heart's content. His lips trailed down her inner thigh and a groan of frustration escaped h
"You wanna die, boy?" Lennox asked. His deep voice startled Violet as her skin laced with goosebumps. She didn't dare turn to look at him. The expressions on Kevin's face told her enough. "I... What do you mean, king?" Kevin tried to play it cool. "Don't play dumb. You're flirting with my fiance as if you've plenty of lives to spare. Wanna waste a life or two?" Lennox growled lowly and Kevin stiffened. Angela leaned back in her chair and smirked, crossing her ankles on the table as she stared at Kevin like a winning gangsta. "He's Hunter's best friend. No doubt they do crazy things when they're jealous." Angela said blowing on her nails as if she was drying the non-existent nail polish on her nails. "It was just healthy talking." Kevin tried to cool the raging Lennox down but as soon as the words left his lips, Lennox was on him grabbing his collar as he yanked him to his feet. "Healthy talking. Dare to call her beautiful again and I'm gonna smack your teeth out. So help me God
"Are you planning on staying here?" Violet asked. "Yeah, until I'm a skilled trainer. After that, I'll coax Dad to let me go study in the States. I want to live among humans like a normal person. I'm tired of staying back at the packhouse." She said, Violet sipped her tea. Listening to her attentively. Angela had a few scratches and bruises on her from yesterday's training. She's been training for three days now and was slowly learning Kevin's patterns. She even dodged a few of his punches and kicks but he still did a number on poor Angela. "That's why I'm learning how to fight. So that I could protect myself and Hunter didn't have to send Kevin to the States with me."Violet nodded. Angela was fourteen but she had a strong will and a defiant personality. Violet couldn't help but compare her fourteen-year-old personality with Angela's. She used to be so timid and scared, would always do what she was told and never break any rule while Angela was the opposite. She was fearless, an
Lennox had never loathed himself like this before. Heck, he never regretted any of his actions. He was always satisfied with his choices and decisions. But what had he done to the most important person in his life? He f*cking ruined it. It almost felt like no matter what he'd do he won't ever be able to earn her forgiveness but he was persistent. He stayed close to her. Barely leaving her sight. If she'd sit in the library reading he'd join her and she would avoid him but he didn't care. If she was taking a walk in the garden, he'd stroll behind her. If she'd play games with her sisters he'd bug her until Emily would let him join them. He'd even prepare herbal tea for her. Sometimes she would glare at him and ignore his existence but other times she'd peek glances at him when he wasn't looking. He knew she still loved him. But she wasn't letting herself forgive him. The walls around her heart were too solid and he was the reason behind it but he knew she'll forgive him one
"You never betrayed me, Violet. I found out the truth. I... I didn't trust you, I'm f*cking sorry. You loved me all along and I f*cked up, I've hurt you, please, I'm sorry.""Doesn't matter."Lennox felt pressure behind his eyes as he dropped to his knees in front of her. She didn't even move or blink. Her eyes were fixed on him but her expressions remained the same. Blank. Indifferent. He hated it. It f*cking guts him. "Tell me what to do. I'll do it. I'll beg you for forgiveness but don't give me this cold shoulder please." His deep voice sounded pleading. Violet swallowed thickly. Her resolve was on the verge of breaking upon witnessing him like this. Without uttering a word she tried to walk past him but he circled her wrist, stopping her. "Violet-""I'm tired," She whispered in a small voice, and just like that his hold loosened and he let her go. She left his room and he sat there on the floor for some time before he pulled to his feet and tossed his weight on the bed.
Violet didn't wait a single second as she quickly wore his shirt and pulled to her feet. It reached her thighs and was so big on her, also it smelled just like him. Her wolf was so happy as she was still wagging her tail in delight while Violet on the other hand was mad and sick. She didn't wait for him to turn around and began walking back to the mansion. She left her clothes, her comfy slippers back at the tree and now she had to walk barefoot on this stony path. Violet barely took a step when in a flash she was scooped up in his strong arms making her gasp. Instinctively her arms wrapped around his neck. "Let me down," She demanded, wriggling but he didn't entertain her with an answer and kept walking. "Put me down," She gritted, now pushing at his chest. He was half naked, she noticed. His pectoral muscles flexed and she jerked her hand away as if they'd burn. She faintly glanced at the ink in his skin before diverting her gaze. She tried to push his hand off her waist but he
Violet tried to free herself but his grip was strong. His fingers pressed into her scalp messing her hair. She tried to break free, but it was of no use. He was behaving like a crazed beast. Her body trembled, sparks buzzed around her and her world surged forward wanting more. Lennox swiped his tongue on her lips and they parted. She tasted like his custom-made downfall. His destruction. He shoved his tongue against hers, caressing, slurping, tugging, biting until she moaned. Her moan was like a sweet f*cking melody to his ears. She moaned like she wanted him, like she waited for this moment like no one could earn this reaction out of her. "Lennox..." She breathed, wrenching her lips away but Lennox chased her lips and claimed them again. She was his oxygen and he was f*cking dying. She grabbed a fist full of his silver strands tugging at them harshly but he didn't feel any pain. Just carnal desire. Wild possessiveness. He was losing it and the little vixen responded. Not he
F*cking assh*le! She was never the one to curse but she was calling him every bad name in her head. She hated him so much. How could he? The look he gave her, it was obvious he was doing it deliberately. He wanted to get a reaction out of her. How easy it was for him to get under her skin. She hated herself for letting him affect her like that. Violet didn't show much reaction there but now as she was away from all eyes, she couldn't stop the anger that was rolling off her. She quietly stepped into the mansion as the staff gave her looks. Violet aimlessly walked down the hall not knowing where she was going exactly. She took the stairs and came to a pause at the terrace, and was greeted by the warm sunlight. She took a seat and relaxed back on the seat with her eyes closed as she faced the sun. She inhaled deeply to calm her wolf down who was going frantic and almost feral inside her. These were the same feelings she had when Dana confessed her liking towards Lennox but now see
