Violet POVAs the moon dropped and the sun rose over the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the sky, I found myself in our secluded room. While he carried me all the way to the room, I still had my face buried in his chest. I heard shuffling of feet and soft murmurs from people around. Upon entering the room, I lifted my head and gasped when I saw that the room was adorned with soft, flickering candles that cast a warm and inviting glow over the walls. The air was filled with the scent of fragrant flowers. Flower petals were sprinkled over the silk linen on our bed. Someone had put on soft classical music in the background. There was a bottle of champagne sitting on ice in a salted ice-water bucket. I was amazed by how quickly everything was prepared. Did Alpha Dane convey about me to everyone already? Alpha Dane put me on the bed and knelt in front of me. He kissed me lightly on my lips. Cupping my cheeks, he said, “I love you, Luna Violet.” His throat bobbed as I wat
Violet POV I wasn’t sure if Alpha Dane would go on a honeymoon because he was so busy all the time, but when two weeks later he said that we will go on a five-day trip to Maui, Hawaii, I was pleasantly surprised. Alpha Dane was sitting in Dave’s room with me, watching him play with the latest toy boys loved—an oculus. Dave was so engrossed in it he bought a lightsaber and was fighting in space using the inputs from oculus. Dane had appointed Niti, a young omega girl, to be his nanny. She had built a makeshift rope enclosure to protect him from accidents. “I want him to enjoy it with us,” Alpha Dane said with a tender smile on his lips. “That’s why I’ve chosen a family-friendly destination.” I took a deep breath in as I stared at my Alpha. With Dave, he was so different. If I was his weak point, Dave was his weakest point. Every day after his pack duties, he would come and spend his time with Dave and me. I didn’t question him about Ilene all this while, because at the bottom of
Violet POV Jackson’s eyes flashed golden. “I am with Alpha Dane in whatever he does. And if he has chosen Violet as his Luna, then we all do the same.”“I will never choose her to be my Luna!” Jeremy spat as his forearms rippled with fur, his wolf surfacing. When his eyes fixed on me and my fists clenched in tension. “None of us will accept her. She was raised as a rogue. Because she sees her gain in it, she has accepted to bond with our Alpha. She isn’t worthy of being our Luna.” With anger, he glared at everyone, his chest heaving heavily. After a few tense seconds, Alpha Dane spoke. “What matters is that I choose her as being my Luna.” His quiet voice had a lull of storm and my heart skipped a beat. “And that is all that matters.” Jeremy’s lips peeled back in a snarl. “You can choose her, Alpha Dane, but we will never choose the bloody gold digger!” I flinched. Blood rushed to my cheeks and my breath became ragged. I touched my cheeks, feeling the sting in his voice like a slap
Violet POVHawaii was heaven. Alpha Dane had lined up a series of activities for Dave to keep him busy. He had booked the most expensive sea-facing resort for us. There were five more resorts in that line. He booked the entire row so that no one bothered to come near. Tusker was also with us just for an extra layer of protection for Dave. Alpha Dane and I were relaxing on chaise chairs with an umbrella protecting us from the sun. I had turned on my belly and dozed off to sleep when Dane said, “Would you like to add another layer of sunscreen?” “Umm… no… I want to get tanned…” I replied and went back to sleep. “No way!” he growled. He jumped from his chair and came to sit at the edge of mine. “I think I will buy more bikinis for you. I love you seeing in these,” he said, untying my top. He squirted a lot of lotion on my back and started rubbing it. “Why did you pose that question to me when you had to put on sunscreen?” I asked, chuckling. I loved the warm Hawaiian sun. His hand w
Violet POVNeedless to say, ours was a presidential suite. The moment he closed the door of the room, he pushed me to my knees. “Suck me, baby!” he ordered as he opened his pants and boxers. His erection sprang free, and I licked my lips.He grabbed my hair and pulled me to it. As soon as I opened my mouth, he shoved it deep inside, making me gag. Without waiting, he thrust it inside my mouth as if he was impatient as hell. With a dangerous growl, he came inside me and made sure that he emptied every last drop before turning me over, pulling my ass in the air and thrusting inside it.He kept me awake the whole night. We ended up having sex on every damn surface. I was too tired and sore to go anywhere the next day, so I decided to stay in the room. He wouldnt agree. He picked me up and took me to the bathroom, where he put me in the tub full of hot water. My soreness lessened a bit, and then we were all set for the next adventure. Five days passed in a breeze. The honeymoon was so
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
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
