Violet POV“You will not do any such thing,” Ilene pleaded even as she was lifted by the warriors. “Da—Dane,” she said, breathless. “Ple—please Dane, don’t do anything to George.”Dane looked at his mother, trying his best to stop the swirl of emotions in his chest. “You never liked my father. Your hatred for him carried on to Dave. You loathed the fact that I got married to Violet only because you didn’t want Chris Llyod’s smell on your pups. It is not difficult to comprehend that you hated my father’s scent on me as well, because it reminded you of your sacrifice.” A burning hole formed in his chest, causing him to struggle for breath. His voice dropped. Swallowing the lump in his throat, he said, “What did I do, mother? Why did you hate me?” “I— I never hated you, Dane,” she replied. “If I hated you, I wouldn’t have helped you to become the most powerful alpha of the werewolves!”He scoffed. “You did that for your selfish reasons.” Taking a deep breath in, he ordered his warriors.
Violet POVInitially, I flinched at the sight of her name flashing on the screen and didn't want to pick up. I calmed myself and immediately answered her call. “You have the guts to call me?” I spat. “And you picked,” she sneered. “How could you manipulate Alpha Dane to attack the Red Claw pack? Have you no morals, bitch? I already left your pack because Dane expelled me. He has even banned me from coming. Then what else do you want? My father is going to retaliate. When we win, you'll see firsthand what life in the dungeons is like, I promise. Because I will torture you every fucking day!” “You cheated Alpha Dane by siphoning off large chunks of his money, didn’t you?” I asked, ignoring her future dreams. The silence seemed to scream of her crimes. “Ilene gave me an allowance. Are you jealous?” I let out a small laugh. “And now Ilene is spending her sweet time in the dungeons.” I brushed my fingernails with my thumb. “Well, we also found out that she withdrew large amounts of mon
Violet POVThe lady, Stella, was in labor for three hours. It reminded me of my time and my stomach clenched. I was alone when I gave birth to Dave. The money I saved from my modeling and waitressing gigs was used to cover hospital admission costs. Dave was born after I endured eight hours of labor pain, and when I saw him, I couldn't help but cry because he was the most gorgeous pup I had ever laid eyes on. There were four of us managing Stella’s labor pain. I think she went into premature labor after her mate left her for the war. It took the pup nearly five hours to make an appearance. When I gave her the little bundle of joy, I hoped she forgot about the war. After wiping my sweat, I headed back to my room and flopped onto my bed, feeling utterly exhausted. However, an hour later, I heard another scream. Grabbing my sweater, I rushed downstairs to see that a batch of four wounded werewolves had arrived. Unknown fear gripped my chest as I directed the doctors and nurses to take
Violet POVAlthough it was risky, I made the decision to take Dave with me during the war. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that he was ecstatic. I decided to wear black pants and a red silk blouse, paired with a matching sweater. I wanted Dave to wear his shorts and a white shirt, but he chose to wear a jacket with trousers and a bowtie. It made me laugh, but he pouted his lips. “This is a formal function,” he argued about his dress sense. Beta Jackson shifted into his wolf and sat down for us to climb over him. I picked up Dave and placed him on Jackson because Jackson's wolf was too tall for Dave, even when he sat on the ground. I mounted him after Dave. We took off towards the Red Claw pack with five wolves following us, including Niti in her wolf form. Excitement bubbled in my chest as we crossed the forest and neared the Red Claw pack. My thoughts went to the last conversation I had with Emily in which I advised her to help her father in preparing for the war rather than wasting he
Violet POV We had to stay for the whole day at the Red Claw pack and then the next because Alpha Dane had to create a new council. Phil declined the offer to become the new Beta because he wanted to remain with his Alpha. So Alpha Dane chose the next in line, Turk. Turk, who was mated, agreed promptly with his wife Stella and their newborn pup. In addition to him, Alpha Dane chose Irvin and a few other White Fur members to stay with him. A search for Emily was initiated. One of the omegas in Alpha George’s house informed us she had left her house the night before after packing all the essential items. Alpha George’s house was supposed to be taken over by Turk. Since Turk didn’t want the same furniture, Alpha Dane gave him the freedom to decorate it on his own. “I’ll let my wife decorate it,” he said with a beaming face. Then he looked at me and bowed again. “I am indebted to you for my life.” Bewildered, I frowned. “Why Turk? What have I done?” “You gave birth to my pup in su
Violet POVIt was late in the night when I went to the dungeons. My knees were shaky when I stood in front of the entrance. Howls filled with agony emanated and echoed throughout the dungeons and drifted outside. It was then that I understood the painful howls belonged to Ilene. The guard was surprised to see me, but he got up from his chair quickly and opened the door to the dungeons for me. Additionally, he alerted two warriors to follow me. He bowed to me. “How may I help you, Luna?” he asked, nervous as he looked behind me. “I want to meet Ilene,” I conveyed in a low voice, wrapping the shawl tightly around me. “Yes Luna,” he said and waved his hand to the left side cells.As I followed that corridor, I noticed that most dungeons were empty and the few that were occupied had wolves who were all shackled to the walls with silver chains. My heart went out to them, but I was sure that Alpha Dane had his reasons to lodge these wolves in the dungeons. Being a Luna wasn’t easy… One h
Violet POV “I don’t want to see her!” Dane growled, his chest rising and falling. I understood his repulsion, since it mirrored mine. The sympathy I felt for Ilene was mostly because of the condition she was in and definitely not because she was remorseful about what she did to her son. He would carry the emotional scars she inflicted on him for the rest of his life. Had I not been married to him, I was sure that Alpha Dane would’ve been a broken wolf. We both were each other’s anchors because we both belonged to broken homes. We were the babies of betrayals and deceit, and we should’ve been mean and selfish, but we never let that spark of love and humanity leave us. Taking a deep breath in, I said, “It’s your choice, Dane. If you want to see her, I won’t stop you.” He stared into my eyes for a while, his anger dissipating. He rested his forehead on mine and closed his eyes. “I don't have the strength to see her. She reminds me of everything horrible, Vi…” His body pressed against
Violet POV Fifteen days had passed, and we were overwhelmed with modeling assignment requests from various companies. And this was just after posting photos of three models that we had finalized for the magazine ads. Sloane had to advertise a job for a professional photographer to shoot our models' portfolios because it was nearly impossible for them to go to the human world. However, getting a photographer amongst werewolves was like finding a needle in a haystack. And the main reason was that most of them were warriors. They were trained to shoot enemies and not pictures. “What do we do?” Pippa sighed as she looked at the pictures of the models. “We seriously need a photographer.” “I have very little experience,” I said, because I had seen how the professional photographers shot the models. “But we can start with it until we find a professional?” “That’s a great idea!” Sloane exclaimed. “We could do with anything right now. But I have a suggestion. Alpha Dane knows so many i
