Violet's POV

I was taken aback when I heard someone mention "Alpha Daniel." But I did not allow anyone to read me. I composed myself, blanking the expression from my face.

My assistant, Sam, whispered to me that he might not come, and I almost felt relieved. However, he was unable to complete his sentence as the door opened and a man entered.

When I saw everyone's stunned expression, I turned to face the person.

But my gaze stuck to him. Women claimed that he was the most attractive man, but with no heart.

His face brought back memories of Leo's accident. Just glancing at him made me pull back to the past.

I did not want to remember that nightmare again.

I tried to look away, ignoring the man. As I was about to tell others to start the meeting, he spoke up.

"Looks like CEO Easton was not expecting me. But see, I am here to say hello to you."

His cold voice, delivered in a mocking tone, drew my attention back to him.

He was looking straight into my eyes. His eyes were dark, as if he co

  • I Am His Rival's Widow Luna   Chapter 10

    Under the table, I clenched my fists into a fist. He was my father-in-law's son. He was still remembered as the biological son in my family because no one tested the DNA.However, he bore the surname of his stepfather, Luka Collins. So I was almost confused by his surname.But what was he talking about?Mesmerized by his handsome face?How dare he say such a thing? A widow like me did not care about anyone's handsome face. No matter how attractive a man was, I did not need to pay that much attention to him.I was a businesswoman and the Luna of a pack. This was how my life was now.I exhaled angrily because this man was getting on my nerves."I think, like this, we can not collaborate," I said, knowing I would never give him this offer.After that, I rose from my chair and looked around the table."Easton Group will announce the selected investors in three days. Until then, I would appreciate your patience."As I walked to the door to leave, all of the Alphas except Alpha Daniel rose

    I lifted my gaze and looked at her. "But, Mom, we still have no proof against him."Clara's brows rose slightly, then furrowed. On her face, there was a clear sign of irritation. "So what?""Mom...""Why are you making excuses? Don't you know he is the main murderer of your husband and my only son?"I averted my gaze from her, feeling something pierce my eyes. I stopped crying a long time ago. But that did not mean I lost all of my emotions.Clara took a step toward me. The long, dark brown dress she wore was a perfect fit for her slim figure. She came to a halt in front of me and held my chin.She made me look into her eyes."Have you forgotten Leo's suffering over the last few years before his death? Or do you want to forget how painful my son's face looked while he was lying dead? Don't you think that my son should have a happy life? They killed my son brutally."I felt my breath catch in my throat, reflecting on the past."This white color..." Clara said, directing her gaze to my

    My wolf, which had never reacted to me after Leo's death, suddenly groaned inside of me. I could not believe it.My hand tightened on the tablecloth under the table, and I bit my bottom lip, trying hard not to groan loudly. Listening to the conversations that were taking place at the table among the members of the family, I made an effort to divert my attention away from my wolf."Violet, what do you think about calling your parents for a family dinner the following weekend? I heard your brother is coming back," Grandma Lily said.I looked at her with a perplexed expression. "Zion is coming back?"I was not aware of it. After Leo's death, my parents sent my brother, Zion, and my sister, Aria, outside the pack. Everything was done to ensure their safety. Given that I was the Luna of the pack, the rivals' next targets could be family members."Yeah, Mom is right. I talked to Ruby today. She said, Zion wants to come back," Clara said, giving me an assuring nod."I see," I mumbled.After

    Third POVDaniel chuckled as he stepped closer to the desk. His gaze was fixed on the woman seated behind the desk. He could tell she was taken aback seeing him in her office. However, he did not care.His eyes fell on her white suit.Did she wear the same suit again?He came to a halt behind a chair and stood there with his hands on its backrest."If CEO Easton has time, we can have lunch together," Daniel said in a deep voice.Violet's frown deepened as soon as she heard him. "Sorry? What did you just say?"She seemed not to understand why he wanted to have lunch with her. They were not accountants either."Well, like that, we can discuss the deal," Daniel said, concentrating his eyes on her face.Violet looked away from him and focused on the file in her hand."Sam"Sam dashed to the desk and stood still, lowering his head. "Yes, Luna.""Tell Alpha Daniel that I don't have time to go out for lunch with him."Sam gulped as he looked over at Daniel. The fact that Alpha Daniel was in

    "Don't you have any other clothes at home?"Daniel's unexpected question caught Violet off guard. Her face turned grim, and her eyes narrowed. "What do you want, Mr. Daniel Collins?"Daniel shrugged his shoulders as he leaned back against the couch. "The Eastons may not be treating you well. "How can you keep wearing the same dresses every day?""That's none of your business," Violet replied indifferently.Daniel scoffed when he heard that. "As if I am interested. I was just wondering. Why so hyper?"Violet sat there calmly, looking at him. Her eyes were screaming about her fearless nature. He took the notice and gave it a thought."White is a pure color, the color of love with purity. I think you are leading a widowhood. If you have to pick a color, why not go with black? Roaming around in white, is this how you live a widowed life?"He assumed she would be upset to hear about her widowhood. However, to his surprise, she did not react at all."If you are done, you are free to leave."

    Sam was flabbergasted. He lifted his head to meet Daniel's gaze. He immediately dropped his head again and mumbled,"Alpha Daniel, I will instruct our men to prepare a suit for you in our pack."He scoffed at him. "No need. I bought a house, hoping to stay here for a while. You focus on your work, which you are not very good at."After that, Daniel walked towards the elevator. When his assistant, Nick, and two of his other men noticed him, they followed him.Sam stared at Daniel."She doesn't look bad in white? How can I tell about his compliment to Luna? She will kill me..." Sam muttered.He sighed as he saw Daniel enter the elevator with his men after throwing his burned cigarette butt in the trash can next to it.The moment the door of the elevator closed, Nick looked at Daniel and said,"Beta just called and asked if you could return this week."Daniel looked at Nick, and his once-calm face became ferocious. Nick looked away and whispered,"We need to leave. It's about the pack."

    Violet's POV"Did you ask him about staying?" I asked Sam.My only intention was to know where he was staying and with whom. I wanted to keep an eye on him. I knew he would not want to lose a single chance to distract me.However, today he proved me wrong. People always say, "Alpha Daniel never takes defeat and gets what he wants by hook or crook."Was that how he got the win?By the way, it was better for me to keep him away from this company."Yes, Luna," Sam replied.I gave him a nod. "Then did you arrange a hotel—""Luna, he said, he bought a house in our pack, and he is going to stay there for a long time."My gaze paused on the file I was holding. It was a file about the ongoing project. My gaze shifted to Sam."What did you say? He bought a house in this pack?"Sam lowered his head without responding. It was clear that I did not hear wrong."How did he do that? Who is in this pack that is daring to help him?""Luna, as you know, in the last few years, Alpha Daniel came to our p

    The packhouse was filled with chatter.In just one day, Fraser captured all the elders' attention. He played with Grandpa, although he lost most of them. Daisy was very fond of her brother. Meanwhile, Grandma was also happy since Fraser said he would take her to roam around the pack."In this house, only my grandchild loves me," Grandma Lily said.Although she and her husband were over sixty, they maintained themselves really well. The couple was elegant and strong."Grandma! What about me? I love you so much. Brother Fraser only came back yesterday, and you are talking about him," Daisy spoke up."It's because you love your Grandpa more," Grandma Lily replied.Everyone laughed at her words. Daisy held Grandpa's arm and said,"Grandpa"Grandma Lily scoffed at her. "See? You went to him again."Everyone could stop laughing. Even Clara and Wesley, who laughed very little, let out chuckles this time.I looked at my happy family.After Leo's death, it was very difficult to see smiles on t

    Violet was staring outside the car. She was too numb to think about anything. Everything that happened tonight had messed with her mind."You attacked him?" Beta Vance spoke to break the silence.She did not respond, which caused him to feel more desperate."Luna, you know it is against our pack's rules. You should not have—"Violet turned her gaze to him. His head was already turned in her direction while talking to her. So when she gave him a look, he paused."Do I need to consult with others before attacking my husband's murderer?" she asked with a sharp tone.The driver felt a tremor. The man gulped, trying to concentrate on the road.Beta Vance sighed and returned his attention to the road. He shook his head while pinching the top of his nose."If he complains about you in the council, it can shake your position as the Luna of our pack."Violet scoffed as she turned her head back to the window. "Let him complain then. I am not afraid of him."Beta Vance could not help but remind

    As soon as Sam heard Alpha Daniel's voice, he went completely still. He lifted his gaze and found Violet looking behind him.He slowly turned his head and met a pair of dark eyes. He gulped and was about to let out something. However, his gaze was drawn to the wound in the man's chest. His eyes widened, and he gasped."Alpha Daniel, your chest!"Daniel moved his eyes from Sam and fixed them on Violet. "Your Luna attacked me. So, Assistant Sam, what was the Crimson Howl Pack's rule? I can't remember it."Violet clenched her palm, turning the white handkerchief red with her blood.She took a deep breath and collected herself before gazing at his wound for the last time.Then she turned around and started to make her way out, saying,"Sam, tell the pack doctor to treat Alpha Daniel."Sam blinked, glancing at Daniel. "Okay, Luna."After Violet had left the terrace, Sam tried to do what he was told."Alpha Daniel, let me—"Daniel raised his hand to stop him from approaching. "Get out."His

    Violet glared at him. He was making her blood boil."If you dare to call me that again, I will—""You will what? Kill me?" he asked, lowering his head more.It was then that she felt her heart start to pound against her chest. She assumed it was because she despised him."I will," she replied bluntly.He nodded his head and tightened his grip around her hand. Then he brought her hand closer to the dagger."Why don't you just kill me now?"She was taken aback. Had he lost his mind? He wanted her to kill him?She tried to move her hand, but his grip became firmer. "I am giving you one chance to kill me."He pressed her hand against the dagger. She could not believe it. He had gone insane.It was true that she always wanted to kill him. But tonight's attack was just a warning. She did not intend to kill him."Why are your hands shaking?" he asked, tilting his head.Violet frowned at him, trying to remove her hand from his grip. This man behaved as if he were not feeling any pain.Daniel

    Violet felt a chill run down her spine. She had no idea who this man was. She could not think clearly about what he had said. Her mind started to replay the flashback from five years ago.The dark forest, the wolves, their growls, the blindfold, the scent, the deep voice, the warning—it all echoed in her head.He was the man who broke her and degraded her dignity. That night, because of his humiliation, she decided to go against her family and lead a widow's life.Violet started to think who this man could be. She had already destroyed three men who had conspired against Leo. But he was not one of them. She recalled that Sam had told her that Daniel had invited many Alphas.Was he one of them?She could feel the man lower his head. His breath brushed against her ear, making her feel numb. It was hard for her to move because her legs felt like jelly on the ground.The man chuckled darkly and said,"Looks like CEO Easton has lovers around her."His chuckle and his words froze Violet.'T

    Everyone clapped when they heard the announcement. They knew Alpha James was a wealthy businessman in the Crimson Howl Pack. But they were surprised that he would work for Alpha Daniel instead of the Luna of this pack. They assumed it was due to money. Alpha Daniel valued him and grabbed him on his side."Cheers."Daniel clicked his glass against Emily's. Emily looked happy. She smiled while looking at Daniel. Her eyes were full of admiration and an arrogance that Daniel was with her.On the other hand,Violet was staring at Daniel. Anger was visible in her eyes, which were dark and filled with clouds. Her fists became more clenched, and her nails came dangerously close to penetrating her palms.She wanted to rush over to Daniel and kill him. He was openly challenging her by helping Alpha James.It was not unknown that if Alpha James was caught, he would reveal the last name of the person involved in Leo's accident.Violet gritted her teeth, trying hard not to lose her temper.How cou

    Emily lowered her gaze. She was afraid that Alpha Daniel was mad at her. Her father had told him to impress him, not to make him angry at her."I am sorry, Alpha Daniel."Daniel rolled his eyes and replied, "Fuck off."Emily flinched at his angry tone.Daniel left her in the middle of the hall and walked toward the bar.He found his assistant Nick there. Nick noticed him and dashed toward him."Alpha"Daniel looked around and saw Violet sitting with Fraser on a couch. Although the couch was for three, they looked quite close.Nick gulped when he saw how dark Daniel's eyes had become."Alpha, your gaze can kill her," he murmured.Daniel averted his gaze and sat on a stool near the counter.He ordered a drink. When the bartender handed him his drink, he turned his stool to look at Violet again.Assistant Nick was standing beside him. He noticed Daniel's gaze and said,"Alpha, Fraser Brown is—"Daniel stopped him with a raised hand and said,"I know who he is. You don't need to notify me

    Violet paused and did not turn her head. She did not have to turn to see who the person was.That was Daniel Collins.An expression of surprise could be seen on Fraser's face as he looked at Daniel."Daniel"Fraser's eyes were filled with adoration, which stunned Violet. Violet's fists tightened at the sight of one of her family members gazing at Daniel with such care.Daniel was looking at Violet. So when he heard a familiar voice, he frowned.He tilted his head to the side and gazed at the man standing a few feet away."Oh, Alpha Fraser," he replied in a formal tone.Fraser's eyes went from bright to dull. Fraser's disappointed expression caught Violet's eye."It's been a long time, Daniel," Fraser said with an upset tone.Violet turned around to look at Daniel's expression. She saw his eyes darken as he stared at Fraser."Indeed, a very long time," Daniel murmured.Violet remembered how he treated Daisy yesterday. She could not help but feel protective of Fraser as her family membe

    Violet was about to refuse, but Clara grabbed her hand. "He is right. Let her accompany you."Violet saw her eyes indicating that she should agree. Clara was afraid that Daniel would plot against her just like he had plotted against Leo years ago.Later, when everyone left the pack house, Violet told Fraser to wait downstairs. She went back to her bedroom and picked up all the files from her bed. She put them in one of the nightstand drawers.Going to the closet, she pulled out a white dress with a white corset.She put on the dress and let her hair down. She applied light makeup and wore nude lipstick.Her white heels clicked on the stairs as she descended.In the meantime, Fraser had changed out of his shirt and jeans and into a blue suit.He was waiting for her while sitting on the couch. So when he heard the clicks of her heels, he turned his head to look at her.His eyes stopped moving as he caught sight of the stunning woman making her way down. He almost forgot to blink.He rec

    Violet was sitting in the car. Beside her, Daisy was crying her eyes out. She kept saying, "Why does Brother Daniel hate me?"Violet gave Daisy a few glances, unsure of what to say to her. She looked scared of Daniel. The enthusiasm that she had shown before meeting Daniel was lost."Daisy, he is different from what you think of him. He is a vicious man. He doesn't care about you."Daisy lowered her head. Her eyes were welling up with tears, which were falling onto her dress.Violet felt helpless about the situation. No matter how much she tried to persuade Daisy to forget this matter, it was like a nightmare for her.Violet caressed Daisy's hair, trying to comfort her. Daisy wiped her eyes and mumbled something under her breath."If Grandpa finds out what happened today, he will be upset with Brother Daniel."There was a frown on Violet's face. "But he should find out how Daniel Collins is."With a shake of her head, Daisy turned her gaze to Violet. Taking Violet's hands in hers, she
