"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-
Violet didn't turn to look at him to confirm her doubt about the supposed person in her room because she already knew he was there. She felt it at the door. Her mark tingled and buzzed in an unfamiliar rhythm. Ever since he had marked her she had started feeling the connection. The emotions were subtle but adamantly present there no matter how much she tried to not feel them. He had embedded his scent into her skin and now he was glued to her no matter where he was. When Shane marked her, she didn't get to feel any connection or emotions because there was so much chaos and mayhem. She felt the sheer pain when he was killed. Violet was hoping that Lennox wouldn't show up until she found the culprit behind her misery but luck always had a beef with her. She didn't hear him. Not a single noise was made but she flinched feeling his warmth behind her. He was there like a haunting nightmare of painful memories, which he gave her himself on a silver platter. "Don't f*cking ignore me." H
"Where did you go with Connie and Nolan? I won't ask next time." He was cold, too cold."I went to the dungeons. I needed to ask the guards how I magically did what they accused me of. Connie and Nolan didn't know where I was. I tricked them into thinking I went to the kitchen." Her voice was composed but Lennox was no less than a hawk. He noticed the slight tremor of her lips. The way her throat moved as she swallowed the lump of emotions -which she was hiding- down her throat. "You think you can prove your innocence to me?" He cocked a brow at her, challenging her to spout more nonsense and trigger him into beast mode. Violet didn't back down. "I don't need to prove anything to you. I'm doing it for myself. To prove to King Azure and everyone in this castle that I'm innocent except for you.""Watch it!" He growled lowly. She flinched but didn't look away. "Are you mad I don't want to prove anything to you. This happens when someone doesn't want to associate with you. They don't
"I'll sleep in my room." She made a failed attempt to leave again but he blocked her way in a flash. "I'll not repeat it. Get on the f*cking bed," He thundered causing her to flinch back. "I want to go," Her lips quivered. His jaw ticked. He drank the full content in one gulp and tossed the cup on the couch. Lennox carried her in bridal style earning a shriek from her and then he tossed her on the bed. She quickly tried to scurry away but he grabbed her waist and tugged her back in the middle of the bed. "No." She struggled, squirmed, and wriggled to get away. Not wanting to scold her anymore he just dropped his weight on top of her crushing her small frame. She let out a cry of pain when her hand twisted abnormally between them. He lifted his weight enough for her to snatch her arm from between them before he rested his weight on her again. And just like that she was crushed, he weighed tons, she could barely breathe. "I can't breathe." She complained, the more she pushed at
"Violet, are you not sleeping?" Ella asked, worried striking her cheek. Her blue eyes skimmed over the dark circles under her eyes. "I couldn't sleep last night. I was thinking about our kingdom," Violet said, holding her hand gently before lightly flicking her forehead, earning a gasp and groan of pain from Ella and Emily laughed out. Violet couldn't sleep properly, she did get four to five hours of sleep but she stayed awake and mull over what went wrong. She had lied to Lennox about not even wanting to hate him because she still loved him but he didn't need to know that. Their encounter happened a week ago. He didn't confront her like that again but she surely found him at her doorstep often talking to Connie and Nolan. Both of them had kept her distance from her. Though they were helping her, there was this invisible barrier as if they were on eggshells around her. "Princess," Dana stepped into the room, holding shopping bags as she placed all of them on the coffee table. Sh
Violet along with her sisters stepped into the Hall where an enormous number of elite and posh people were present. The whole palace was decorated exquisitely and everyone was in awe. As soon as she stepped through the door all sets of eyes fell on her causing her skin to prickle under their scrutiny and she felt dazed. She never liked being the center of attention. Back in her kingdom whenever her father would hold such parties or balls, all sorts of rich powerful people would show up, and then her father would present her like a trophy in front of them with hopes that someone powerful would take interest in her and there'll be someone strong to take over his throne because he never found Violet worthy enough of the throne because she was a girl. She forced her legs to move, her limbs weighed tons and were glued to the spot. It took an insane amount of battle with her mind to force her body to move. She walked further inside as whispers and hush fell across the room. Her sisters w
She didn't know how she went through the whole ordeal and was still standing on her feet which were killing her because of the damned heels. Throughout the night Lennox had plastered her to his side as if she was his oxygen and he would die if she left his side. Her sisters were ecstatic after he pulled the stunt of declaring their mate bond to the whole kingdom. Connie and Nolan were behind the girls keeping an eye on them for safety. Her hand was sweaty as she tried to pull it out of his hold but he didn't let go. Instead, he only tightened his hold to the point of stopping the blood supply and when she would go numb and wouldn't tug at her hand anymore he would loosen his hold. His thumb kept caressing the back of her hand, back and forth in small gentle strokes as if he knew she was tense and he was trying to calm her down but it wasn't helping. Because he was the main epitome of all her stress and panic for the night. After ages, he decided to leave. The celebration was
"Why did you hide it from us?" Emily asked in a sad voice, staring at the mark on Violet's neck. "Lennox said we should surprise you guys," Violet lied, her chest heavy, and stomach knotted. "We surely got surprised there last night," Ella said. "That was why you wore scarves around your neck and often hid it with your hair," Emily pointed out. "Yeah..." Violet trailed off. "Are you happy, Violet?" Ella asked. "Yeah, I'm happy. Why wouldn't I be?""You refused to attend the coronation last night, and also you seem stressed from the past couple of days. If Lennox is giving you a tough time then let me know. We can teach him a proper lesson." Ella offered. Violet forced a chuckle as she tried to brighten her face. "You're reading too much into the lines. I wasn't feeling well in the last couple of days and yesterday Lennox and I just played along and you guys fell for it." She mused, earning a gasp from Emily and Ella silently scrutinised her. "If you say so," Ella mumbled. *"
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
