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. *"
"What took you so long?" Azure asked, eyeing his son who just walked into his study. He had that violent look in his eyes as if ticking to spill blood. There were very few cases where Lennox lost his control. "I was in the dungeons." "Why?" "Connie was interrogating the two dungeon guards about that incident. I believe they know something." Lennox said. "Come sit," Azure lifted his chin, and without a word, Lennox took the seat opposite him despite the unhinged anger rolling off him in waves. "What's bothering you?" "Nothing." He muttered. Azure set him with an observant gaze. "You can talk to me, son." His voice was warm. Lennox let out a puff of heavy exhale, his shoulders slacking, his father was always there for him whenever he needed to confide in someone. He understood him. More than Lennox could understand himself. "She betrayed me, Dad. She said she chose me but as soon as her mate showed up she left me." His voice sounded pained. "Did you care to listen to
Violet stood at the threshold of the huge double door, staring at nothingness. She was wearing a dusty rose-colored gown, which hugged her body like a second skin with long classic gloves with smooth material, a slit on her right side below the hips revealed her leg whenever she walked. Her hair was in a beautiful bun, revealing her shoulders and the mark. She was donning light glowy makeup with elegant diamond earrings.She was still anxious about the incident that happened two hours ago. Nolan informed her that he had locked Dana in dungeons and had briefly reported Lennox about what he heard. He also said that Lennox paid a visit to Dana in the dungeons and he was furious, further, Connie assured her that everything would get better as the truth was out.Violet doubted that. She didn't know how he would take the truth or if he would even believe it. And if the truth was important to him he wouldn't make her go to Hunter's wedding and stay to hear the truth.But no, maybe Hunter's w
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
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
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
"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.
