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
"I will not mark you," Her voice was stern. He was doing exactly what Shane did and this fact alone was like rubbing salt on her open wounds. "You've no choice. You know I can be barbaric, Violet. I can be an excellent asshole but I'd suggest don't test me." His voice was calm. Devoid of any emotion. She shook her head, taking a step back. His eyes darkened at her dare and he prowled over to her. She swivelled to dash into the bathroom and lock herself in but in a flash, he was behind her. Grabbing her nape, he slammed her against the wall. She barely stopped the impact with her arms but still, the force knocked the breath out of her. Lennox loomed behind her like a deranged psychopath. "Don't you f*cking get it once? Don't make me hurt Ella and Emily. Unlike you, they're innocent. You were so drowned in escaping that you even drugged your sisters," His voice darkened. So they were drugged. That was why they couldn't wake up. This meant she must be drugged as well. No way Shane
Three days have passed and there was no sign of Lennox. After that night when he unleashed his demons on her, marked her, and drank from her, she passed out. The next morning Violet woke up in her room with her sisters sitting beside her on the bed and peering down at her. She instantly tried to cover the mark but noticed that she was wearing a turtleneck. Dana showed up with their food and she informed Violet that Prince Lennox had brought her to her room and instructed Dana to change her clothes and cover up the marks and bruises. Violet noticed that Ella and Emily had no memories of what transpired. They just remember going to bed and waking up in the morning with pain in their heads. Stepping out of the shower, she combed her wet hair back with her fingers. She wiped the fog from the mirror with her palm and stared at her reflection. Her hazel eyes looked dead. She has been crying herself to sleep at night. His words, those brutal actions. Everything kept roaming in her mind
"Tonight you guys will escort me to the dungeons and hide so they won't know you both are there. I'll ask them what they saw that night and what they told Lennox. The reason to keep you guys there is so you can witness if I'm proven innocent by them." She said, "Too risky. What if you did try to escape? What then? They would be telling the truth but our lives would be at stake if Prince finds out," Nolan said. "We can try it. I also want to know what those guys said to the prince. Ever since they were recruited in the security team, I have despised them." Connie muttered. "When did they recruit?" "Year and a half probably," Nolan said. "Can you guys gather some info for me?" "Heavens! She wants us to act as her spy now. Princess, you're crazy." Nolan exaggerated as Violet glared at him. They both were tall with muscles. Where Connie has brown hair with a buzz cut. Nolan had dirty blond hair that was gelled back perfectly like a prince. "This palace made me crazy. Your good-
