Violet POV Bereft, I clenched my teeth. How did Jayden manage to talk to me? Wasn’t he lodged in a prison? Was Martha sitting with him? When I didn’t reply, he continued, “How’ve you been?” Taking a deep breath in, I said, “I am well, Jayden.” “Good to know,” he replied in a calm voice that was anything but calm. It was the voice of a man who wanted revenge. “Where is Martha?” I didn’t want to talk to him. “She’s right here. But won’t you ask me how I am?” “I don’t—” “I know you aren’t interested, but I insist on telling you, Violet,” he chuckled. “I was in prison because of you. No, because of your fucking boyfriend, Dane Llyod. He used his connections to have me incarcerated. I expected you to support me by speaking the truth, but you chose not to. You know, that was a terrible decision.” I swallowed saliva down my dry throat. He sounded like a man who had lost his mind. “Every day I spent in jail, I remembered you,” Jayden sighed. “Not because of how beautiful you a
Violet POVDisbelief thudded through me even though a part of me anticipated that possibility. Taking a ragged breath in, I averted my gaze to look out of the window where trees were shredding their autumn leaves. Sloane came to sit next to me. Placing her hand on my forearm, she said, “Please, Violet, don’t think about him. We didn’t know that Alpha George would go to this extent. It was unexpected.”I didn’t know what to say, except, “Did Alpha Dane know about it?” Sloane added, “Yes, he knew about it. They were all keeping a watch on Jeremy. What he did at the pack hall was unexpected. Alpha Dane allowed him to speak before publicly carrying out his punishment. He aimed to set an example for those who believed they could get away with it, and for those who had allegiance with Alpha George or Emily. The gamma warriors are still looking for moles in the pack.” My heart felt heavy, not with concern, but with gratitude for Alpha Dane's protection. He didn’t say a word to me about J
Dane POVAs Duke sped off into the woods, Violet buried her face in my silken fur. She rode on my back for the first time, and it was an exhilarating experience. After sulking for a few minutes, she raised my head. Duke raced on all fours, feeling the icy wind whip through his fur as the line of trees became a blur. He was so looking forward to meeting Opal that he was restless the whole day. However, when Opal didn’t show up, his spirits dampened. Sorrow washed over him, making me feel like shit. To let his anger fade, he ran, using every bit of his energy. His powerful legs thudded against the ground, scattering mud, leaves, and twigs. At least he was with his mate on him, and that thought brought his calmness back. We came back two hours to the tree line where our clothes were. Duke gave me my skin back. Seeing Violet’s naked ass, a possessive growl ripped through my chest. “Wear your clothes, Vi. I don’t want anyone to see my mate naked.” She shook her head as she wore my cloth
Violet POV‘Wake up, Violet,’ someone urged me. I didn’t want to wake up because I was feeling so weak and drained out. A faint sound of cheer reached my ears, and I wondered if I was dreaming. As I emerged from unconsciousness, the world around me looked like a delicate watercolor painting coming to life. The first sensation my brain registered was that of my body and something fluttering deep inside me. It was subtle but undeniable that tethered me to it. “Violet,” I heard Alpha Dane’s soft voice and felt his finger brushing my hair gently. The distant hum of cheers, the muffled rustle of people moving, the rhythmic beat of my mate’s heart, soothed me. Why was it that the air carried a distinct scent? Of mist and pine alone with something citrusy? I peeled my eyes open. Diffused morning light fell upon my face and I sighed. With each breath, I became acutely aware of my surroundings. When my eyes went to the side, I saw Alpha Dane’s face near mine, his eyes focused on me with a
Violet POVIt had been a week ever since the pack doctor had confirmed that I was pregnant. She had called me to the pack’s hospital where she conducted pregnancy tests. It wasn’t required because werewolves could smell their pregnancies, but on Jackson’s insistence, I went there.“I know it is not right, Luna,” Jackson said. “But some of the pack members are still unhappy with yours and Alpha Dan’s union. Most of them will come in our favor because of this pregnancy. The doctor's confirmation will seal their doubts. And honestly, it couldn’t come at a better time.”True to what he said, after Dr. Lin confirmed it, Alpha Dane announced in his pack that his Luna was expecting his pup and I started receiving a lot of congratulatory messages. I felt a sense of acceptance from the pack members. All the omegas in the house had become extremely careful around me and were at my beck and call whenever I needed them. Pippa had called me and, after squealing about my pregnancy, she asked if I
Emily POVJeremy, who was my last hope to publicly embarrass Violet, was killed by Alpha Dane. I needed someone to show that she was so much beneath me. I spent a substantial amount of money on Jeremy and assured him he would be granted a more senior role in the pack once I became Luna of the White Fur pack. Now all I hoped was that Dane didn’t trace Jeremy to me. I paced my room and came to a stop in front of the window. I had been restless since the day they threw me out of the White Fur pack. The amount of humiliation I had to go through because of Violet was like a poison that left a bitter taste of shame on my tongue. It tore away my pride. There was not a minute I didn’t think about Violet. My obsession with bringing her down made it impossible for me to eat properly. “Emily,” my father’s voice made me clench my teeth. He had been such a failure in his life. “What?” I growled as I turned back sharply to look at him. “What do you want?” The Head Council of Elders summoned him,
Violet POV Next five days passed so fast that I felt like I needed more time. With Sloane’s and Pippa’s help, I set up a small office in a room that was at the back of the mansion and no one was using it. I instructed the servants to empty the area and replace it with two desks, a rug, a love-seat and some stationery. Alpha Dane surprised me by gifting two computers with the latest tech. I created an official website for my talent agency. Though we were all very enthusiastic about it in the beginning, I wasn’t sure if I would get even three models to work for us. The werewolf community was pretty conservative about venturing into the human world. Most preferred to stay in the packs because of their need to shift anytime they wanted to. Since they couldn’t reveal themselves to the human world, they found it very off-putting. “We must create an application for the wannabe models,” Sloane said, twirling a pen in her fingers. She had been occupied browsing through companies that were h
Violet POVSharp terror skittered down my body when I saw the silver dagger glinting in the dark in someone’s hand. The presence of the person on my room's balcony filled me with confusion and fear. Because Opal was still sleeping, it was challenging for me to sniff the air and smell the person. So, with clenched teeth, I removed my blanket slowly and got up. Holding my breath, I stood at the edge of the bed, trying my best to open my mind link with Alpha Dane, but I couldn’t. I felt incredibly miserable because I couldn't perform basic werewolf activities, almost to the point of tears. How could things be so bad for me? The wolf on the balcony moved towards the room, holding his dagger to the side. The way my pulse thrummed and sweat trickled down my forehead that the chill of the night being no relief. I stayed in one place for a while, unable to take my eyes off the man outside. He took a step forward, sending my blood pumping. The man was wearing a black hoodie, his face shield
