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
Violet POV The way he was taking control over the whole situation and dominating me, strange emotions overwhelmed me. By the time I was on my fours with him slamming inside me, he had taken full control. No words flowed between us, but I knew he was conveying to me in his own way that I had no say in this. On the basic level, I knew that if he wanted to break me or ruin me, he wouldn’t hesitate.My Alpha didn’t have a gentle bone in his body. He was not rough around the edges. He was rough, and he was a devil. And at this moment I was sure that he was restraining his wolf as best as he could to mark me.As he fucked me with increased intensity, he did so in a way that he demanded I surrender to him completely. With each thrust, he would go deeper, making me further aroused. I reached my orgasm and was about to shatter when he changed positions again. He picked me up in his lap with my back against his hard chest. His large palms covered my breasts as he thrust inside me. “I won’t let
Violet POV When I woke up in the morning, I was covered in sweat, feeling something heavy on me. Alpha Dane had pulled me over his chest and wrapped my waist with one arm, while one arm rested on the side. He had placed his thigh on my leg as if to make sure that I didn’t run away. Throat dry, I swallowed my saliva and raised myself from his chest slowly. Carefully, I removed his arm and his leg from me and slipped out of bed. As I made my way to the door, I collected his shirt and wore it on my way out because he shredded my clothes last night. There was a dull ache between my legs which reminded me of his threat that I wouldn’t be able to walk properly the next day. I clenched my jaw because every step I took reminded me of how he plowed me. He was unstoppable. And he always wanted more. “Gods above!” Mimzy rasped. She seemed pretty irritated. “Where were you? You look like a bulldozer ran over you.” “I am so sorry, Mimzy,” I said, trying to smooth my messed hair by raking my fi
Violet POV I realized one thing about Alpha Dane.He wanted to dominate me, possess me, to hold me down and have his way with me. At the same time, he got off on me, enjoying every second.But I needed to stop this as soon as possible, else I was going to fall so deep into an abyss that there would be no way out of it.“I will never ever move in with you! I will live on the streets, but not with you.” Tears pooled in my eyes.He smirked. “As if I would let you live anywhere else,” he said in a low voice, wiping my tears. Enraged, I pushed him against his chest, but he caught me by my elbows hard and pulled so close that my breasts pressed against his chest. His voice went low, intimidating, and calm. “Now listen, Violet. I’ve had enough of it. I have already asked my people to bring all your stuff here. So when you return from your office in the evening, you will come here. Don’t defy my orders, okay, baby?”“I will never move in with you,” I said through my tears. “I’d prefer to die
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
