He Hurt Me, But He Needs Me Go
ViolettaIt was Ferrara who announced over dinner that he was closing talks early.London balked. "Neither we nor our witches have made any progress.""My clan has become too dangerous. There has been a direct attack on a guest. Until I know who attacked her, I would like to err on the side of caution."Maeve's gaze slid to me. "Removing temptation?" She purred.I gritted my teeth. The whole dinner had been tense. Ferrara had been right all along. He considered the other alphas enemies, and now he had good reason.Emerson had turned his third in command to betray Ferrara. Maeve was ready to pin everything on me, and she was willing to kill now and ask questions later.And London was walking around with guards bathed in magic. Glamour magic? Some other kind of magic? It took time for me to study it and try and pinpoint what the magic did, and I couldn't just stand in the open and stare at the guard.Not to mention the problems we were having outside the alphas. Irene hiding her magic.

FerraraThe sound of the water hitting the tile was deafening. There was no other sound in the shower. In my arms, Violetta was as hard as stone. She was collecting her thoughts, and I let her as I smoothed my hands up and down the side of her body."Have you ever let your wolf make a decision about your pack?""I follow his instincts, but he doesn't make day-to-day decisions. Why do you ask?""Because that's what you're doing, right now. You're letting your wolf make the decision.The only reason we're bonded is because of our wolves. But you, the human half, the part that has to run and protect a pack? You would have never chosen me. You're never going to love me, but you're still putting your pack at risk. Your leadership at risk."My heart skipped a beat. She wasn't mad or upset. Her voice was neutral, her words even.She'd thought about this, probably since the day I installed her into my bed.Was she wrong?"Every decision I make is for this pack," I told her in a low voice. "I'

Ferrara"Ferrara, I..." she bit her lower lip and closed her eyes. "I may need a couple of minutes before I'm ready again.""That's not what you were going to say," I growled with narrow eyes."You're right. It wasn't. I decided maybe I didn't need to speak at all." Slowly, she lowered herself to her knees and looked up at me.I couldn't make her talk. I couldn't make her say whatever was on her mind, whatever truth she wanted to confess, so I let her take my cock in her mouth. I let the pleasure course through me, and I gently tangled my fingers in her wet hair as I fucked her mouth."Violetta," I grunted and pulled away. My heart hammered in my chest. "Come on, baby. I want you pinned under me. I want to feel the heat between your legs."Hauling her up once again, I cradled her against me. Violetta wrapped her legs around me and buried her head in my neck. Whatever was bothering her, the orgasm hadn't chased away her fears.We fell against the bed, and her knees came up as I slid my

ViolettaThe sun rose over the horizon, and I stood by the window and stared at it. Ferrara's promise to fuck me all night long fizzled after he brought up food. We ate, and he'd held me, but when he asked me to talk to him, I hadn't known what to say. So I pretended to sleep.And he pretended the same.He walked out of the bathroom fully dressed. It would still be several hours before the alphas departed, but it was our last chance to talk to Cam, assuming Maeve's guards would even let her. Saul had already texted to complain that they almost didn't let him in to his own infirmary.I was planning on going alone, but Ferrara had immediately vetoed it. He wasn't even letting me call Amelia or Finn.Something weird was going on with him."You could get more sleep, and I could talk to Cam.""Really?" I turned and cocked my head. "Okay."I sat back on the bed and watched as he looked at the door, the window, back at me, and frowned. "You know what, we should go together. Then you can get

Violetta"No!" Racing toward Lunessa, I pulled her back down and placed my hand on her chest.The magic was there, buried deep, but I couldn't draw it out fast enough.Ferrara shifted and launched himself at Amaya's twin, whatever her name was. He knocked her out of the air and sank his teeth into her. I focused on drawing the magic away from Lunessa, and when I was done, Lunessa gasped for breath. Ferrara yelped and flew through the air."A null," the black witch hissed. "How interesting. A null and a wolf. Where did you come from, darling?"She hadn't known?Lunessa stood, but the black witch shook her head. "Don't bother. I'm already done here."She disappeared, and I ran to Ferrara's side. He was slowly shifting back. "I'm fine," he muttered. "I'm already healing."Turning, I raced to Cam. As soon as I knelt down by her, wolves shot out of the trees.Some of them were from Ferrara's pack. Jenson came with Irene in his arms.London. Emerson. Maeve and all her guards.I should have

ViolettaThe tap had run dry.As the liquid started to spurt and grow foamy, I put the glass down and smiled apologetically at the wolf waiting on the other side of the bar. "Sorry, it's going to be a few more minutes for that beer. I need to change the tap.""No worries." The woman flashed me an easy smile. "It'll give me a few more minutes to look over the menus. I'm loving all these new choices. Is that your doing?"I gave her a quick nod. "Just let me know if you have any questions. I'll be right back.""I'll do it, Violetta," Josh volunteered as he sat down the crate of clean glasses he'd just brought up from the back. "I know you're busy.""Great. Thanks, Josh. I appreciate it.""Anything for you."Hiding behind what I hoped was a friendly smile, I turned to address the newest customer who'd walked up. "Welcome to Hair of the Dog. What can I get you?"Hair of the Dog. Not the most original name for a bar in the middle of werewolf territory, but it was well-run. Emerson had insta

ViolettaThe regiment was always the same. After my shift ended, I had three hours to relax, shower, and prepare for dinner. As always, there was a dress laid out on the chair. Not the bed, as if that was somehow supposed to make me feel better.I wasn't an idiot. I knew the suite was searched every day while I was gone. There were little things I would note before I left and saw that they'd been moved. Sometimes it was a lampshade turned just a little. Once, I'd tucked the edge of some thread under the rug and found it in the corner when I got home. My bedsheet was tucked differently. Emerson told me that he would have the maid come in every day, but I'd asked to keep my own suite clean. He'd relented, but it hadn't stopped him from searching the rooms.Tonight's dress was red. Most of the dresses were red. That seemed to be Emerson's favorite color. The dresses were never the same. Either the pack's seamstress was very busy or Emerson was spending an enormous amount of money clothin

ViolettaA dark bruise formed on my cheek the next day. I dressed for work and opened the door only to find a female guard waiting for me. She bustled her way into my suite, covered my bruise with makeup and pinned the necklace back around my neck. "It's so pretty. You should show it off," she said mildly.Right. So pretty.The first hour of opening the bar was usually a quiet one for me. Everyone else was busy at their stations, the manager was counting the money, and it was just me, flipping on the automatic switch, and planning while I worked. Only today, I was constantly interrupted by a parade of my co-workers who wanted to admire the necklace. Their simpering made me sick to my stomach."Oh, how beautiful. Our alpha has amazing taste.""The two of you are like a fairy tale. I can't wait to find a mate of my own who treats me like this.""He loves you so much."Don't vomit. Just smile and nod. You can survive if you just smile and nod.Hiding the necklace down my shirt, I opened

ViolettaAnother night without Ferrara. I wasn't sleeping well, and as I trudged up to my room after a late night dinner in the mess hall, I considered calling Jenson and asking some more questions about the operations that were not day-to-day. Pulling out my phone, I remembered that he was planning to spend the night with Irene. So far, Maeve had not made another appearance, but I knew Irene was scared.She needed Jenson more than I did.Pocketing my phone, I turned down the hall and stopped short. There were noises coming from my bedroom.Loud noises.Squealing?Laughter. It abated, and I opened the door cautiously. Amelia, Kenzi, Cindy, Janelle, and Ava had piled onto my bed. There was a huge spread of food on the table, and music playing from a speaker somewhere."Hi," I said dumbly. "What is happening here?""Girl's night!" Janelle called out. When I stared at her, she frowned. "You've never had a girl's night, have you?""Did Jenson put this together because he was tired of me c

ViolettaOne by one, I bonded with the others. Lucy, Raven, and Carla. I was desperate not to show it, but bonding the four women in quick succession drained me. Finn and Kenzi left to shower and rest, and Jenson escorted me back to my room."When was the last time you've eaten?" he asked in a low voice."I had a box of crackers on the way here," I claimed proudly. Okay, a box was stretching the truth. I'd had maybe five or six crackers."Rest. I'm going to have food sent up to you," he ordered.I was tired, but that didn't mean I was going to shirk my duties. "As soon as Finn and Kenzi have showered, I need to talk with them," I protested."They've been pushing themselves for days. They're going to need more than a shower. They're going to rest, and we can all have dinner together."He stopped at my bedroom, and I narrowed my eyes at him. "You are not supposed to order me around.""Uh-huh. I liked it better when you were a submissive," he sighed. "Rest. Eat. There will be plenty for

Violetta"I don't understand. You accessed your magic in human form before, when your wolf forced you to use it. Do I need to fatally wound someone to let that happen?" Evalina snarled in frustration at my recent failure.Today's assignment? Offensive magic. All I had to do was move a stick.One lousy stick.Instead, I was covered in sweat, and the stick just sat in its original place in the grass, mocking me."I wouldn't risk it. I don't think me moving this stick is going to save anyone today," I panted and sat down in the grass. This was a better workout than any cardio. Muscles I didn't even know I had ached at the strain of trying to move that damn branch.I expected the Crone to force me up, but she just went unnaturally still, and her eyes grew vacant. Worried it was Maeve, I jumped to my feet, but she held out her hand. "It's Lunessa. They've made it to the compound. She and your mate are fine."Blowing out my breath, I relaxed. I knew Ferrara was fine. I could still feel him

FerraraIt was Saris who put her hand out. "Please. I have told Broderick many times that his enthusiasm is enough to send anyone screaming into the forest. Eat your dinner. Stay the night. You will no longer be pestered with questions.""She is right," Broderick sighed. "I would never forgive myself if I scared you straight into the arms of danger."I let my gaze linger on Saris for a bit longer. She was pretty, almost in an ethereal way, and maybe that's why I sensed something odd about her. I'd certainly never met a human like her.Was she Broderick's mate? I didn't sense a mating bond, but she had some sort of control over him.Glancing back at Lunessa, I sighed and took my seat once again. "One night for your hospitality, we will try to answer a few of your questions in the morning. I will answer them," I amended. "And then we will be on our way."They seemed pleased with that, and we finished our dinner with light conversation. There were no more questions about Emerson. At the

FerraraRelief swept through me when I didn't recognize the grizzled man at the head of the table. Not that he would recognize me, with this face, but it still helped. Lunessa clutched my arm as we were escorted to the table, and I pulled the chair out for her."Thank you for your kindness," I said quietly. "My mate and I have had a difficult journey. My name is Kenrys, and this is Luana.""To be true to ourselves, we must extend our hand to those who need it," the wolf said in a gravelly voice. "I am Broderick. The man to my left is Henry, and the lovely lady to my right is Saris."Broderick's wolf was powerful, and he didn't hesitate to unleash that power at the dinner table. I bowed my head and avoided meeting his eyes as I took the chair. My wolf, hidden behind Lunessa's magic, grumbled unhappily, but he didn't try to break free. He knew what we were doing here and what he needed to do.Henry was a witch. I could sense the magic in him, but Saris seemed completely human. Not a dro

FerraraLunessa was exhausted. We were within several miles of the coordinates given to us, and she already looked the part in the role that we were about to play. Dirt streaked her face and clothes, and dark circles hung under her eyes, and I knew it wasn't the glamour she'd donned. I'd seen her shimmer from her dark hair to blonde, from her dark eyes to blue, adjusting the structure of her body and even shortening her height and giving herself more curves.There'd been no dirt on her then. We'd moved as fast as we could, and the witch had lied about being all right with the pace we were making.Now she winced from the blisters I knew had to be on her feet. I could smell her blood, and the quiet whimpers she thought she was hiding were built from rock-solid determination.She had a stake in this fight. I didn't know if it was just about protecting the witches or her friends, and I had started to think of her as a friend, or something else entirely. Now that we were so close to the co

ViolettaMindy was dead. I'd met her for the first time just a few days ago, crossing her path after one of my failed magic attempts. She'd smiled shyly at me and told me that I was glowing. The thought of that soft and sweet voice made my heart ache. She'd been on the guard for less than six months.But I couldn't focus on that now. There were rogue wolves pouring out of the woods, and they'd broken the first line of defense. Jenson and I met up with a wolf barreling our way before we could even reach the skirmish. I shifted instantly, launching myself at him. He was easily twice my size, but I didn't have to worry. While he pinned me down, Jenson slit his throat.Ruthless and efficient. I'd always known, but it was a little terrifying to see the second in action. Jenson shifted afterward and caught up with me. Together, we took down another rogue wolf before we happened upon Mindy's body.Rage filled me, and I ripped into the fray. Whatever the rogue's plan, these wolves were nothin

ViolettaI had questions. Why was she asking? Who was she asking for? Amelia refused to tell me, and I hoped it wasn't for her. Whatever she and Finn were going through, she didn't deserve to miss out on the chance of having a mate. Especially when they were both so great.Ferrara and I had dinner alone. I peppered him with questions about the day-to-day operations of the pack, and he answered all of them patiently while reminding me that Jenson would also be here to help me.Not the other way around, which I strongly suggested.After getting settled in the bed, he pulled me across his lap and wrapped his arms around me. "We can drive for eight hours of the trip, but then we'll have to travel for a day and a half on foot. Lunessa will be hiding much of her magic so she just seems like an ordinary witch, and I'll be pulling in my power as well. Evalina is also providing us with glamour bags so no one will recognize us.""A witch might see the glamour bag," I said with a frown."It does

ViolettaIt did not take me long to find Amelia. She was at her usual desk, hunched over her computer. Her eyes were rimmed red. I knew Ferrara was forcing her to take breaks, eat healthier, and sleep at night, so I had a feeling her red eyes weren't just from screen fatigue."How's it going," I asked casually as I hopped up on the desk.She didn't answer."So Ferrara is taking Lunessa to go after the cult. Weird that they didn't want to involve me, given that I'm the subject of the day and his mate. Instead, he thinks it's best to leave me here to run the pack with Jenson. You know, I don't think Jenson and I have had a single conversation out of the you don't belong here, you're not worthy of him crap he used to tell me before this. Now we're going to run a pack together. Are you worried, because I am totally not worried. Okay, I'm a little worried. Do you miss Finn? If you're worried that he and Kenzi are getting it on, I wouldn't. Finn's not an idiot, and only an idiot would get i
