Violet’s POV I woke up with a jolt, pain surging through my stomach as someone kicked me. I curled in my threadbare blanket as tears welled in my eyes. I was sleeping on the ground of a makeshift home in a forest that surrounded the White Fur pack. “Wake up, bitch!” A nasal voice blasted. It was my father’s mate, Nellie, who was my stepmother. “No one has all the time for you in the world, dimwit!” she spat. She kicked me again on my chest making me whimper in pain. “We are leaving. The White Fur packs’ hounds have scented us.” Rogues were hated by every pack and the moment we were spotted, we were killed. And the White Fur Pack was notorious for tracking rogues and killing them. My name is Violet Clark. I am nineteen. My father and stepmother are rogues and we live like vagabonds along with a few others, who lusted after me like I was the whore of the rogue pack. It was a surprise that I kept my virginity intact till now. Grunting and sending more expletives my way, Nellie
Violet POV I stifled a gasp. The Alpha of the White Fur pack was my mate? Goddess. He was the most cruel Alpha in all of America. No. No. No. No. He was staring at me intensely, his hands clenched into tight fists, every muscle in his body strained with tension. “Take her to the dungeons.” He sneered. “No,” I protested in the hope that he would acknowledge me as his mate and help me out of my misery, but the way he was looking at me, it explained everything. He hated me and would reject me. He walked towards me with disgust. Leaning down, he wrapped his long fingers around my neck tightly almost to the point of pain and growled “You will come with me to the White Fur pack.” Even through all the pain, my head became dizzy when I picked up his scent of mist and pine. I trembled as delightful shivers ran down my body upon his touch, which felt more like a caress over every sensitive part of me. I coughed, surprised by the power of his touch. It was as if the chill in my bones wo
Violet POV That night Dane didn’t leave me even for a minute. He was relentless, and I wanted to give him all I had. And all I had was me, my virginity. I came with no status, no money or family. My only family abandoned me to be killed after injuring me. It was Moon Goddess who had bestowed this opportunity on me and I wouldn’t dare to lose it. By morning, I was thoroughly exhausted. I snuggled into his chest and went off to sleep. When I woke up in the morning, he wasn’t there. But every part of my body was singing. I stretched my limbs, feeling great for the first time in my life. I think I was the luckiest she-wolf born. My wolf, Opal, was cartwheeling inside. ‘I am so happy, Violet,’ she said. ‘Our mate loves us, but where is he?’ I giggled as I walked to the bathroom. ‘He must have gone to the pack, Opal,’ I informed her, as if she should have known it already. ‘After all, he is the pack’s Alpha. He must have gone for his Alpha duties.’ ‘Yes!’ Opal pricked her ears up and
Violet POV Dane got up and walked to the bar to pour wine for himself. “Please don’t make it difficult for me, Violet. You will stay here in this lodge and you are going to get every benefit. I will surround you with every luxury.” “What if I refuse?” “Why would you?” he growled. “If I remember, you were a rogue who had no family. I have rescued you and will provide you with everything you lacked in all your otherwise shabby life. Besides, it is common amongst Alphas to have more than one woman beside their Luna,” he shrugged. That was a bolt to my self-respect. My mate will be fucking another woman, have her children while I will watch them? Something inside me snapped. He made me feel… used. All at once, a shrill voice boomed. “Dane!” Dane snapped his head. “Shit! Mother is here! How did she know of this place?” He strode out, ordering me, “Stay here!” “Where is she?” his mother shouted at him. “Stop it, mother!” Dane growled. “Reject her!” she growled. “Now!” I came out
Violet POV Next morning, the bed was empty and cold when I woke up. No doubt Dane had gone to be with Emily. The thought left me wounded and depressed. A heavy weight rested on my shoulders that he would never accept me fully. I saw a little note on the bedside table. It was from Dane and read: “I will be back by night. Eat food. Don’t think of leaving. — Dane.” I dragged myself out of the bed and went to the bathroom. When I looked in the mirror, it reflected back a very despondent girl. My eyes were puffy with crying and my lips were swollen. There were strains of tears on my face. Everything hurt, but my heart hurt the most. The whole day went like a whirlwind as I charted my escape. I had lost my appetite, but I still ate. I found a satchel in the lodge and started stashing important things in it like a pair of clothes, food and a torch. I was going to escape during the night. Dane had sent more warriors to guard the lodge as a warning that I could never run away from hi
Dane’s POV For the whole day, they bogged me down with meetings. I wanted to go back to Violet as soon as possible but my Beta Jackson came up with a relentless schedule of meetings. I remembered that after drinking my blood, Violet recovered pretty fast. An Alpha’s blood was like an elixir to his mate. All her curves filled in the right places. The black and blue marks faded and her skin glowed. I gritted my teeth, recalling that mother had done something too nasty yesterday. She had announced my engagement to the pack without consulting me. She had invited all the guests. I wanted to wriggle out of it by calling it off, but when Alphas from other packs started pouring in, it was impossible. Emily was extremely happy. She had called many of her human friends from the fashion world. She also invited the paparazzi which I hated. I had a long fight with my mother and she ended up crying, so I agreed to the ceremony. Even though I wanted this to be a simple affair, my mother and
Dane POVShe was sitting right in front of me. It had been five years since I had been finding her. I had spent thousands of dollars on spies and private agencies, but no one could trace her. She haunted my dreams every night.It was me who had rejected the mating bond between us, ever since my heart felt like a shrapnel in my chest because it knew what it wanted. And it wanted its mate. My wolf wanted his mate. I realized that I couldn’t stay without her, but it was too late by then. Regret swamped me all these years.And here she was — looking beautiful as sin. Gorgeous as sunshine. She had dyed her sandy brown hair to blond that cascaded till her shoulders. But why were they appearing like they were natural? She had no makeup except pink gloss on her lips and white kohl in her eyes.I couldn’t help notice that her hips and breasts had swelled even more. She was a thin girl and now she exuded womanly grace. Suddenly, every feeling that I had fought to keep inside surged like a tsuna
Violet POV I had never been this flustered and frightened in the last five years, ever since I escaped the White Fur pack’s Alpha. Seeing Dane brought back every memory that haunted me over the years. His sharp green eyes, his midnight blue hair… His had tousled hair and bags beneath his eyes, but that didn’t do a thing to minimize his Alpha aura. Even now, he looked like a God, commanding and sucking up all the air of the room, his tall and muscular presence looming over everyone else. His rejection twisted like a dagger deep inside my soul at that time. Even now, it carried the same acrid feeling, though I had come so far ahead in my life. Dangerous attraction and bitterness warred inside me. I hate to admit that seeing Emily with him brought forth hot and ugly, rage-filled jealousy that I struggled to suppress. But that was least of all the problems. My two major problems were: First, my wolf that had slept inside me for so many years inside me and who I was sure would never w
