Violet POVAnger radiated off Dane in waves. While Jayden paled, Emily backed towards the window. Her confident demeanor vanished into thin air. While I was mentally pumping my fist in the air, something unexpected happened. Scared like a mutt, Jayden rushed towards me and pulled my arm, pressing me against his chest. With my back pressed against his chest, he shouted, “One more step and I am going to kill this bitch!” He grasped my throat so strongly that I was gasping for breath. My eyes locked with Dane’s amber ones. His wolf wanted to surface and kill Jayden, but he was restraining his wolf because he didn’t want to harm me. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Beta Jackson and other warriors flooding the room.Emily had backed away, and she was near the window. Martha was lying unconscious on the floor.Billy and Joe had stepped back, letting Dane’s warriors take over.And here I was—with Jayden’s arm around my throat. I grabbed his thick arm as Dane watched me with his fists clo
Violet POVThe plane touched land in the evening and Alpha Dane gathered me in his arms to take me to the car that was waiting for us. I didn’t realize the kind of tiredness my body was experiencing because even though Dane took me to the bedroom and made me lie on the mattress, I just rolled on my side and went off to sleep. When I woke up next, I found Dane looking at me intensely. He had his head resting over his hand, propped up over his elbow. He was staring at me with such intensity that my chest warmed. “Dane…” I whispered and shifted towards him to cuddle up. He curled his arm around me and rested his head over mine. He whispered something, but I was too sleepy to understand that. I went back to sleep. The heat in the room must have gone higher because I felt I was sweating. Taking a deep breath in, I opened my eyes and realized that he had locked me with his body. His face was hidden in my neck as he draped one arm and leg over me, creating a tight embrace. I needed to pee
Dane POV“Mommmyyy!” Dave banged open the door of the room and ran to Violet. Thank the goddess, I was wearing boxers and Violet was in her night pajamas. He clambered onto the bed and nestled beside his mother. “Mommy, I missed you!” he said with a pout. “Why did you leave us just like that?” Violet had just woken up and was still stretching her limbs. As soon as Dave came next to her, she hugged him tightly and inhaled his scent. “I had to save those two boys,” she said with a smile. “And I am so happy to see you.” Dave was careful with his mommy’s belly. Earlier, he would jump all over her, but now, with her progressive pregnancy, he had become extra careful. He would gently be on her side. “Did you know daddy, and I got so nervous in your absence?” I curled my arm around Violet to peep at my son. He was the loveliest little thing in this world and sometimes I wondered if my second pup would be just as beautiful and intelligent as my first one. “I know.” Violet kissed the crown
Dane POVAs I carried Violet to the bedroom, I could sense her tension. Her muscles were tight against my body and I knew she had a lot of questions and probably felt that if she could talk to Alpha Irvin of the Red Moon pack, she could curtail what was coming. The problem was that she didn’t understand the egos of the Alphas. Even though Irvin was a progressive Alpha, I knew he had an ego. His omega community was flourishing which was great, but that didn’t mean that he didn’t rule his wolves with an iron fist. However, he disliked it when his people were harmed. He was very protective of them, just like I was about my people. “Stay here,” I said to Violet as I set her on the feet in the bedroom. “But I can—” “Violet!” I snapped. “Enough. I don’t want to hear a word now. I said I will deal with him and that’s it. Don’t you fucking come out, and that’s an order.”My Alpha aura spilled as I emphasized those words with more strength than necessary. She winced under the effect and sa
Dane POVAlpha Irvin noticed my bewildered reaction to his question and returned to his seat.He continued, “All the progress I had hoped for, my pack members, would have been lost. You know, Alpha Dane, what my father was like. In his time, the Red Moon pack resembled the dark ages. And I hated the way he ruled the pack. I wanted change and so when I took over, I brought about that change. You were my ideal, and I learned a lot from you.” I argued, wondering where he was taking it. “Alpha Irvin, I can understand your worries, but overall, if you’ll see, the omegas are safe.” And I was his ideal? Well, that was a tremendous compliment, except he sounded like I was no longer his ideal. He nodded. "Yes, they are safe and for that, I want to express my gratitude to Luna Violet."Surprise rippled through me as I jerked my head back. “Violet?”“In that situation, Luna Violet proved herself to be a true Luna. No other Luna would have gone there and put herself in harm’s way. Most Lunas be
Dane POV I stifled my anger when Violet invited Irvin for dinner innocently. He glanced at me with a flicker of surprise in his eyes. “I am honored,” he replied with a genuine smile that lit up his face. Damn it! Violet was so beautiful that she attracted Alphas like a beacon to insects. Not that I was one. I caught her hand and squeezed it, silently berating her for what she was up to, but she just smiled at me and my heart melted. To prevent Irvin from being near her, I gave him a tour of my pack and brought him to my pack house where my office was located to keep him occupied. Under the guise of discussing our mutual trade, I made sure he stayed in my office. While I fought off my yawns and stretched, I ensured four of my office staff spoke to him about the trade. And the main reason for my disinterest was that I knew all about it like the back of my hand. Finally, when it was 10PM, I said, “Time for dinner! My wife is calling us.” Alpha Irvin snapped his eyes at me as if I h
Violet POVAlpha Irvin's words left me so unsettled that I couldn't stop trembling. Dane had my hand in his lap, tightly squeezed, and I was leaning on his arm to stop the tornado of emotions I was going through. I knew my story couldn’t be pretty, but I wanted to know, nonetheless. Alpha Irvin avoided my penetrating gaze as he stared intensely at the swirling whiskey in his crystal glass. “I don’t know much, Luna Violet,” he said in a low voice. “The Gater family doesn’t talk about her. The knowledge I have is a patchwork of little conversations I've overheard from various people. You can take my information with a grain of salt.”“I understand,” I said, my voice shakier than I thought it would be. “But whatever you know, just tell me. Please,” I begged. Taking a ragged breath, he started, “Fiona, Macy and Ben were three children of Kaycee and Max Garret. Max was a warrior in the White Fang pack. Now, he is old and retired. His son, Ben Garret, has taken his place. Fiona was the yo
Violet POVAfter wrapping up his discussion with the Alpha of the White Fang pack, Dane glanced in my direction. He emerged from the bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his neck. Drying his hair with that towel, he smirked. “Alpha Nathan will ask the Gater family to visit our pack in a few days.” Wow. Translation: Alpha Nathan will order the Gater family to visit me. Was it so easy for the Alphas to order around? I couldn’t help but chuckle, my earlier anger vanishing into thin air. I got out of bed and walked towards him. Circling my arms around his chest, I said, “Thanks.” My hands rested on his hip. I tilted my head up and gazed at him with fondness. “That was quick.” He stared intensely into my eyes. “How about a quickie?” I jerked my head back, but he immediately arrested me in his arms. “What the hell?” I rasped, but my Alpha was already so erect that even through the layers of fabric I was wearing, I could feel his rock-hard erection. He back-walked me unti
