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
Violet POVIlene was laid to rest in the same family graveyard as Dane's ancestors. And only four of us were there, including the Shaman who carried out the funeral ceremony. Dane deliberately selected a place at the back, separate from his father, Alpha Chris Llyod. I chose not to ask him any questions because it appeared that he wanted to bury the memory of Ilene's death deep in his mind. The next day it was very dreary, but Dane went to the office and so did I. I busied myself with my work. Two omegas from the Red Moon pack arrived, and I volunteered to take their professional photos. The setting I went for their background was the natural light. Outcomes were nice, and we uploaded them on our website. I knew it was going to take a few days for the boys to get any modeling assignment and so the omegas returned to their pack, thanking me profusely. My third trimester got over with a lot of issues, but at least my vomiting stopped. Dr. Lin had called me to the pack’s hospital for f
Violet POVMy mouth dropped open in shock, and for a moment my brain stuttered. Emily had gone to Jayden? Of all the places in the world? Why? Did she seek an anchor in the modeling world once more, or did she realize she couldn't survive alone? If she stayed amongst the werewolves, she would be shunned by all the packs, as no one would be stupid enough to give her shelter in their pack after Alpha Dane took over her pack. But going to Jayden? That was bizarre.As I heard Martha sniffling, I took a deep breath in. “I don’t know what to say, Martha,” I said. I couldn’t tell her the main reason Emily ran away. “Maybe you should stand your ground and not allow Jayden to manipulate you.” I genuinely felt sorry for her. She really enjoyed working at the agency and was certainly superior to Jayden in several aspects. “Manipulate me? That’s not even the main issue, Violet,” Martha cried. “He is threatening to kill me if I don’t make him a partner. In addition, I overheard him discussing wit
Violet POVDane was gently massaging my legs on his lap while I sipped the orange juice. We were sitting on the balcony, basking in the afternoon sun. It was one of those rare days when he came back early from work.The winter had descended with gentle snow. Snowflakes fell down, adorning the world in a pristine, soft quilt all over the ground. The naked trees stood like sentinels that were draped in glistening white robes. I breathed in the crisp and clean air that carried the fragrance of snow mixed with pine and poplars. Martha and I had a conversation a month ago and since then, we have stayed in constant contact. She had been extremely helpful to me. The two omegas from the Red Moon pack got three ad deals from popular magazines. Martha had been instrumental in getting the deals for us. And because I didn’t want to act like a greedy business-woman, I offered her a twenty percent profit share. As I watched Dane massaging my feet, my chest filled with pride. He was such a doting
Violet POVA surge of excitement went through me. Live TV ads? That was a huge thing. Live TV ads meant enormous popularity not only for the two models but also for my company. Even though excitement surged through me, I stifled the yelp that was climbing up my throat. “That’s great, Martha!” I breathed. "I have doubts about whether the boys would be interested in leaving their hometown."“Why?” Martha asked, puzzled. “This is a fantastic opportunity, Violet. The production they are joining has offered them a contract of $90,000 each for one season. And the commissions will top it. They are offering two prime spots per week. In my opinion, you should let them come.” Whoa! I didn’t know that my models were capable of bagging such a fantastic deal. “Martha, give me time to think,” I said because even if I committed to her, there were chances that my models refused to go to the human world. “I have to talk to the models. However, can you send me the details of the contract? If they agre
