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
Violet POVMy mind stuttered. What? What?I flinched back as my heart raced wildly in my chest. I felt like a fish who was just released back into water into the safety of my Alpha’s arms. I blinked in shock, staring at Ilene with my teeth clamped tightly. Ilene was unable to move her foot that was injured. As blood flowed, her wound showed signs of healing. She said nothing as she moaned in pain, trying to pull her leg towards herself with difficulty, cursing under breath.I had been gripping the dagger so tightly that my fingernails scraped along its hilt when Alpha Dane pulled it out of my hand. My breath hitched when Ilene’s gaze met mine. “Why? Why did you attack me?” I demanded.“Why do you think, bitch?” she spat. “Mother!” Dane growled. You've committed treason!” “Oh shut up, Dane!” she retaliated. “I am doing what you should have done long back.” Alpha Dane’s eyes flashed golden, and she winced. “I was skeptical when Violet expressed doubts about your loyalty to the pac
Violet POVI wanted to feel pity for Ilene, but all I felt was rage. How could a woman be so vicious that she went against her chosen mate and then manipulated her son into marrying the daughter of her rejected mate? It seemed she never accepted Alpha George’s rejection, and that was why she still kept going back to him. I felt horrible for Kendra. She was killed, but they made her death to look natural. I shook my head. “I am not delusional, Ilene, but you surely have a lot of guts. You not only manipulated your son into marrying Emily but also gave Alpha George false hope. Emily's dreams were fueled by you, as she held onto the hope of marrying Alpha Dane. No matter how pitiable she appeared, she was unwavering in her belief that she would marry Alpha Dane and so she stayed by his side. But you forgot that ever since Alpha Dane met me, he never looked back at Emily.” “Shut up!” Ilene shouted. “If you don't stop talking, I'll ensure your silence lasts forever.” I scoffed. “Look at
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.
