Violet POVAunt Macy cringed at my question. She clenched her jaw and closed her eyes for a moment. “I’m sorry, Violet, but that was the only option left for me.” I could sense her misery and desperation rolled into one. Uncle Ben squirmed in his chair, his discomfort evident, as if he hadn't anticipated that this topic would be discussed. “What do you mean?” I asked, confused. “What could’ve a five-year-old done so bad that you handed her to a rogue family?” Aunt Macy lowered her head and sucked in a sharp breath of air as if preparing herself to speak up. “It wasn’t me who wanted it. It was—” When she looked up, there were unshed tears in her eyes. She started, “Fiona was a wild-heart. Our father pampered her the most since she was the youngest of us three. Father says that when they conceived her, she was very fragile. The doctor had asked them to abort the pregnancy, but my mother went against it. They had to keep a constant watch on our mother’s pregnancy to bring her to this
Violet POVUncle Ben and Aunt Macy exchanged painful looks. And in that moment, I realized what I was—a pain to them. Every time they saw me, it reminded them of my mom. But was it her fault? She went after a wolf she loved. “Didn’t you ever find out about my mom? I mean, didn't you even try to find Alex after he gave you her pup?” Uncle Ben stabbed his fingers in his hair and got up. He walked to the window and looked outside the garden, but I noticed how his throat bobbed and eyes became teary. “I did…” he replied in a hoarse voice. “I even asked Alpha Nathan to help us in finding her. We found her a month after you were born.” My fists clenched in anticipation. “Why didn’t you get her back?” “Because she was dead!” Ben almost growled. “Her body was pale. Pregnancy and constant abuse took a toll on her. We found her abandoned on the borders of the White Fang pack.” I slapped my mouth with my hands as a sob wracked my shoulders. “No!” I cried hoarsely. Ben shook his head. “A gro
Violet POVMax came to meet me the next day. I was expecting him to leave without meeting me. Not even once did he step out to talk to me while I was conversing with my family. So seeing him in the main hall brought forth a surge of emotions. Anger, confusion, desperation and revulsion. I sat across from him in the main hall on the sofa, looking in his dark eyes and against my wishes, wondering if Dave had any features that resembled him. None. I don’t know why I was thankful for that, but Dave was his father’s carbon copy. Max Gater looked everywhere but me. He seemed pretty unsettled. Finally, he let out a rough exhale and shook his head. “I don’t know where to start, Vitty.” “Don’t!” I snapped. “Don’t call me Vitty. You lost that privilege the moment you gave me away. You neglected your responsibility and sought revenge on your daughter through me.”He jerked his head back, and then a ghost of a sad smile crossed his lips. “I know…” Fidgeting with his fingers in his lap, he star
Emily POV As I limped across the abandoned warehouse where I was currently living, I had only one thing in my mind—how to kill Violet? During the last incident at Martha's house, I had her cornered and thought I would end her, but she did something completely unexpected that caught me off guard. The pregnant bitch asked Billy to shift. Just as I was about to take down the bloody omega, Alpha Dane came. The series of unexpected events led me to escape, but that cunt, Janis, fired a shot at me. I was near the pit Jayden had dug for all of them. Agonizing pain surged through my leg, causing me to howl as I tumbled into a pit, my hind leg bleeding profusely. I knew I would heal fast, but Janis and Jackson started covering the pit with mud. They wanted to bury me alive. Through the daze in my head, I heard Jackson leaving while Janis continued to cover the pit. She also left after a while, exhausted. After a few hours, I regained energy, but by then, an infection had developed in my
Emily POVWhen Milo stiffened next to me, I was sure that he knew Alex’s location. And I needed to know where Alex was because that was crucial to my plan. I placed my hand on his chest and stuck my boobs to his side. “Alex owes me ten thousand dollars. He stole them from me. I know he’s stashed them somewhere and only he can lead me there.” The story I cooked up was enticing for a pimp like Milo. “Who are you?” he asked, raising an eyebrow with suspicion flitting across his face. But I could see the greediness in his eyes. I dropped my gaze to his lips. “Someone you would benefit immensely from. Just lead me to Alex and I’ll give three thousand dollars from the stash.” “Four thousand,” he counter-offered. I laughed. “Done.” There was no money. But the bait was superb. Milo brushed his finger beneath my lower lip. “After you get your money, I have another interesting proposition for you.” I sucked his finger in my mouth as I looked at him. His chest rose and fell as he watched
Violet POVMy family left back for the White Fang pack. My emotions were all over the place when I saw the aircraft taking them back. There were a lot of secrets between all of them, and at one point in time I wanted to tell my aunt and uncle about my grandfather’s stance, but then I decided it wasn’t my story to tell. Max had hidden it from all of them for so long. Probably he had his reasons. Before leaving, Max said, “As soon as you find Alex, you will let me know, okay?” I nodded, squeezing his hand, but I was unsure if I would like to tell him about Alex. Max was so much older than Alex and I was afraid that Alex would kill him if challenged. I didn’t want to lose any more members of my family. Having said that, Alex was not my family. He disowned me and treated me worse than his stepdaughter. I was his only child, yet he hated me. I returned the favor a hundred times more. When we came back home, Dane pulled me into his embrace and kissed my head. “How are you feeling?” “Bet
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
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
