Violet POV Ilene. That was Alpha Dane’s mother. My entire body shuddered as memories of her flashed across my mind. She had come to the lodge where Alpha Dane had put me up, threatening me she would get me killed if he didn’t leave me. I wrapped my hands around my body, trying to suppress it. Alpha Dane narrowed his eyes at her before he took the phone from her. “Hello,” he said in a snappy voice. I don’t know what conversation went on between them because Alpha Dane only said “Yes,” at the end. After that, he disconnected the call and gave it back to Emily. “Well, what do you have to say about it?” Emily said, tapping her heeled foot on the floor. He cocked his head and said, “Leave us, Emily. Try to hide yourself because if I see you again, I will let my wolf take care of you.” Emily’s jaw dropped to the floor. “B—but Alpha Dane—” She glanced at me with wide eyes. “Your mother won’t like the way you are avoiding me.” “I will deal with my mother, so get lost!” he growled in a
Violet POV Alpha Dane pounced on me like the wolf he was. He pinned my wrists in one hand and forced them above my head. Pressing my body with his heavy one, he growled, “You belong to me, little wolf. Remember that. I am going to hunt you from the depths of hell if you try to run or hide.” He captured my lips in a sizzling kiss as he grounded his rock-hard erection on me. I resisted him as much as possible by pushing him away, but something was truly wrong with my body. As much as I resisted him, I was soaking my panties. His nostrils flared.Untying his tie, he used it to tie my hands to the headboard. “Release me!” I whimpered.He took his shirt off, revealing his beautifully chiseled body, and straddled my thigh. He looked all over me salaciously, like a predator, and scratched his jaw. “I will devour you, Violet, until you scream my name. Though I want to fuck you so hard that you won’t be able to walk on your legs for at least a week, but today I am just going to feast on you.”
Violet POVMy momentary shocked stillness snapped when I watched him go inside the house. “What?” I wailed.He didn’t reply to me as he watched Mimzy coming out of Dave’s room. Mimzy appeared shocked, but she suppressed it instantly and gave a smile to Alpha Dane. “Hey Mimzy, how was your day?” he said to her charmingly. She blushed to the roots. And Mimzy had never blushed. Not at least in my presence.Tucking a strand of her curly dark hair, she said, “I am well, Mr. Llyod.” She gave me a knowing glance and winked. “Dave is sleeping. See you tomorrow.” She collected her purse and keys from the long table at the entrance and left, closing the door behind her.“What are you doing here?” I hissed at Dane, clenching my fists.He turned his head over his shoulder. “Going to sleep.” He walked to my room, and I followed him in a very shitty mood, ready to shout at him, but I snapped my mouth shut when I saw him pulling his coat and shirt out and tossing it on the ground. He was going to sl
Violet POV Not only the fact that there was no witch that could supply me with a potion, Alpha Dane’s presence in my office to pick me up, spilled anxiety inside me. “I—I have come to a location,” I blurted a partial truth. It was a location but not associated with my models. I rushed back to my car. “I will go directly to Dave’s school. You don’t have to come!”There was a calm on the other side, akin to something so lethal that I held my breath. After that, the phone disconnected. I didn’t know whether to feel relieved or nervous, but I hurried. However, when I reached my car, my stomach dropped.Alpha Dane was leaning against it with his arms crossed across his chest and legs at his ankles. He was wearing a blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves, showing his tattoos, and black formal pants and looking like a God with a lethal aura. His guards, Beta Jackson, Phil and Turk, were sitting in a separate car.“Look at you, little wolf. Being so fucking adorable when you lie,” he chuckled, sh
Violet POV Jayden smiled as Alpha Dane’s face darkened. Before Jayden could even return the greeting to me, Alpha Dane was there beside me with his hand at the small of my back. Jayden clenched his teeth. Jayden gave a tight nod to Dane and said, “I had to come. Dave was pretty enthusiastic about the play.” I pursed my lips in a tight smile because Dave was actually not interested and never gave those vibes. “Besides, you invited me. How could I deny you?” he added, peeking at Dane. Dane took my free hand in his and kissed it. “Did I say you look beautiful?” A blush crept in my cheeks. Did he just ignore the whole conversation between Jayden and me and declare his claim on me? When I shot him a glare, he just smirked at me. “What? You look beautiful, baby,” he shrugged. Then he nuzzled me inside the auditorium where the other parents were waiting. Jayden followed us, and I didn’t miss the scowl on his face. Even though Dane had bought his company at an obscene price, the two had a
Violet POV Emily had never been this close to me, but I always knew that she was monitoring me. Her presence in Martha’s office made my stomach queasy. No. That was an understatement. It was worse. Anger and discomfort warred inside me. Crossing my arms across my chest, I asked, “May I help you?” I tried to keep a nonchalant tone, but only I knew what I was feeling. My mood had been jittery since morning because of so many things, but Emily’s presence ruined it further.Emily cocked her head and looked at Martha. “Can you leave us for a moment? I have to talk to her in private.” She asked her in a dismissive tone.“Why will she leave?” I told her. “You can talk in front of her. Martha shares all the office secrets with me.”“It’s okay… I’ll be around,” Martha said, feeling awkward. She collected her phone and hurried out of the office, leaving me alone with the only she-wolf I wanted to stay far away from. She and Ilene were the primary causes of my misery. I prayed to the Moon Godd
Violet POV Though I should've been shocked to see Jayden, I wasn't surprised. He was sitting in the living room alone. Mimzy gave me an awkward glance. I nodded at her and she went to Dave’s room. It wasn’t a surprise that Dave wasn’t with Jayden. That pup just didn’t like him.He got up the moment he saw me. “How are you, Violet?” he said with hope in his eyes. But I knew better. He wanted to discuss what happened at Dave’s school.“I am well, Jayden,” I sighed as I tossed my purse to a sofa nearby and removed heels from my aching legs.“You already know why I am here.” He shifted on his feet as if uncomfortable.“If this is about what happened at Dave’s school, then before you say anything, Dane is not under my control. He is a man of his own.”“Why don’t you understand that Dane Llyod is toxic as hell?” Jayden said with urgency in his voice. "Don't you think it's a coincidence that he came to Dave's school even though he wasn't invited?" Jayden asked, emphasizing his point.I shoo
Violet POV “So you asked him to kiss you?” Alpha Dane growled. “How was it? I warned you not to go to him. Why did he come to your house?” He was seething with anger. His chest was rising and falling as his hot breath fell on my cheeks.My head went dizzy as his pine and mist scent washed all over me. It seeped into my bones like a drug. I took a ragged breath in as my belly dipped and then filled with liquid heat.“If you can’t be mine, you can be no one’s!” He pressed a thumb to my neck where his mark was supposed to sit. “Maybe I should choke you. Maybe I should go back and kill Jayden right now! I shouldn’t have left him alive.” He pressed me hard into the wall. “Answer me! Did you ask him to kiss you?”“N—no!” I stuttered. “I didn’t.”Alpha Dane stopped as he stared at me. Why was it that, despite his ominous aura, I was being sucked into his allure? To my horror, I acknowledged his darkness when a moan slipped from my mouth. His lips pulled up in a wicked smirk. He brought his
Dane POV Five months later. Maxy had finally grasped the difference between day and night and began sleeping during the nighttime, providing relief for her parents. With every passing day, she grew more beautiful, and my heart overflowed with happiness. I had come to my favorite spot along with my Luna and my pups, Dave and Maxy. It was the perfect evening. The scent of pine mingled with the crisp evening air. We arrived at the edge of my pack's territory, standing on a hilltop that offered a panoramic view of my entire pack. The lights in the homes twinkled like distant stars in the night sky. As I cradled Maxy in my arms, our gaze met and I ran my fingers through her velvety hair, savoring the moment. She gave me her toothless smile, and I smiled back. Violet held my arms as she rested her head on my shoulder, and I felt a sense of peace enveloping me like a warm embrace. Dave played nearby with Zal, his laughter echoing through the woods. He was already showing signs of le
Violet POVIt was a beautiful summer afternoon and I was relaxing near the pool with a book in my hand. Dave was swimming under the watchful eye of his new nanny, Zal. “Here you go!” Dave shouted as he splashed water over her. I chuckled and shook my head as I looked at her. Zal was Niti’s older sister. After Niti, Dave was extremely depressed. The child had seen so much trauma in his five years that it was enough for a lifetime. When I was selecting a new nanny for him, Zal came and revealed her wish that she would like to be Dave’s nanny. There was no better alternative than Zal. She smelled like her sister which was calming to Dave. Many of her features resembled Niti and so I was sure that Dave would instantly gel with her. Just as I thought, Dave took an immediate liking to her. With Emily gone forever from our lives, Dane was relaxed. I could never forget the scene when his wolf brought a very mutilated body of Emily and dropped in on my feet. “And what is my lovely wife th
Dane POVEverything happened in a flash. Max lunged at Dave.A gunshot fired. Jackson barreled towards Emily, causing her to crash into the wall and ripped her arm away.A bloodcurdling scream emanated. With a maddening roar, Duke took over me and sank his teeth into Emily’s throat. Shock filled me, sensing Duke’s rage. In all his years, he had never displayed such a profound and overwhelming mix of emotion and rage. When Emily said that she would kill my unborn pup, Duke’s protective instincts rushed in with red hot fury. With his fangs and teeth still in Emily’s throat, he dragged her out of the basement room. “Dane!” Jackson called. “Daddy…” Dave whimpered. I didn’t hear Max’s voice, but I was relieved that Dave was safe and with Jackson. So instead of arguing with Duke about giving my skin back, I let him be. He emerged from the building, blood dripping from his mouth, clutching Emily's throat. The moment he sank his fangs into her, she was dead. But he wasn’t satisfied. H
Dane POVI was aware of the call's location because Violet told me, but I remained silent. I had a hunch that the kidnapper might try to run after calling her. She told me she had also given the coordinates to Max. Along with my team of wolves, we headed out to find Milo while Max came here with Ben. I liked Violet’s theory. She was pointing at Alex.I sent five of my wolves over here to keep a watch, hoping against hope that Alex hadn’t escaped. He hadn’t. The last I heard about the bloody drunkard was that he was too weak. Alcohol had killed his wolf and weakened his body. But to pull a trick like kidnapping my pup—now that was something. Could he do it alone? No. Then who was with him? “What do we do?” Jackson said, pulling me out of my reverie.“Surround the building,” I said as my claws elongated. “But there’s no one inside!” Max said with irritation in his voice. “We’ve already seen every room, every hall and even storerooms.” “Yes,” Ben added. “It’ll be a waste of time.” “
Max POV Ben looked at me with worry in his eyes. ‘Father, I want to be with you.’ ‘Ben, your father is old, but not weak. Go!’ I assured him I would be fine. Ben was a warrior in the White Fang pack and obviously more trained and fitter than me. He could easily take over Alex, but this was my fight. Ben obeyed me reluctantly and padded his way to the left while I slowly started walking to the right, checking every room on the way. When I reached the fifth room on the left, I heard a faint voice. It was as if a needle of an old record player was scratching over a vinyl record that was still turning over the platter after the music was over. Acting on instinct, I barged into the room, my gun thrust forward, ready to confront any threat. My eyes landed at the little night lamp beside a mattress where sheets were crumpled. A silhouette of a man came into view. Anger exploded in my chest. “Alex!” I shouted. The man didn’t move. With Alex's reputation as a drunkard, I assumed he was pa
Violet POVThe chef brough water for me and as I sipped it, my phone buzzed again. It was an unknown number. My brows scrunched as I looked at it. I felt like picking it up instantly, but on an afterthought, I rushed to the IT team that was working in our home. “There’s a call from an unknown number,” I announced. Immediately, everyone came into action. “Please pick it up, Luna,” said Phil, who was heading the IT group these days. “And try to talk as long as you can.” As soon as I was about to pick it up, the call disconnected. “Fuck!” I lost all hope and berated myself for being a douche and not picking it up. The phone buzzed again, flashing the same number, and I picked it on the second ring. “You picked it late, bitch,” a robotic male voice sounded. “Who are you?” I asked. He sighed. “I have your son.” Icy chill skittered down my spine. My jaws locked as panic rolled in waves. He laughed. “Nervous, aren’t you? You took my daughter. I took your son. Good revenge, isn’t it?”
Violet POV“I will go with you, Dane,” I said firmly. No one could imagine the anxiety I was going through. Dave was missing and every minute without my pup was like needles pricking in my heart. During the early years of his life, we were each other's constant companions and pillars of support. When I had given him the witch’s potion and hidden his identity, things were better. At least he wasn’t on everyone’s radar for vengeance. And who the fuck was so deplorable to take a child to come back to me? “Violet, you aren’t going anywhere, you get that!” his voice thundered in the main hall. “You will sit at home. For fuck’s sake, you are going to deliver any time! And you want to take the risk? Is your head in the right place?” “Then what should I do?” I shouted. “Wait here until he is killed?” “Violet!” he rasped, his eyes showing an expression of hurt. “Don’t say that.” I could feel his misery through the bond. He was wearing a jacket. Instead of pulling on his other sleeve, he str
Chapter 113Violet POVThe call couldn’t be traced by Dane’s IT team. As the weeks flew, he became less interested in the issue and our lives went back to normal.I was at the end of my eighth month and summer was really taking its toll on me. My mood swings were legendary and every other fifteen minutes or so, I was found chomping food or sipping a cool beverage. Dane had become very busy and his reason was that once the pup’s delivery date was near, he would take at least a month’s off from his office and every other Alpha duty only to devote his time to me and the new pup. “All the assignments are over, Luna Violet,” Pippa informed me as she placed a thick set of documents on the table in my balcony. Sloane was also there with her. “Thanks Pippa,” I said as I picked up the documents and started flipping through the pages. Finally, this was over. I sighed, wondering what to do next. Would I be sitting idle? But then a Luna of a pack had many responsibilities. I was going to get m
Violet POV The fishing lodge was a newly-acquired property by Dane. It was beautiful. Divided into two sections, one house was built on the hillside while the above rose above the ground like a tower. The house above the hillside overlooked a large lake with forest lying around it, perfect for the wolves to shift and run when needed.I stopped to look at the gargoyle from which water sprouted in the fountain. Dane came to stand beside me and wrapped my shoulders with his arm. “What are you looking at?” he asked."I was wondering if the architect meticulously crafted that gargoyle to mirror your features."“Very lame,” he said in a dry voice.I laughed at my joke as he led me inside. “You need to rest, love,” he said, kissing my temple. The servant had already placed our bags indoors.I sighed as I placed my hand on my belly and walked to the warm and cozy sleeping burrow. As I flopped on the bed, Dave came running in. “Daddy, let’s catch fish!”Dane laughed as he picked up his son. A
