Emily POVWhen Milo stiffened next to me, I was sure that he knew Alexโs 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. โAlex owes me ten thousand dollars. He stole them from me. I know heโs stashed them somewhere and only he can lead me there.โ The story I cooked up was enticing for a pimp like Milo. โWho are you?โ 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. โSomeone you would benefit immensely from. Just lead me to Alex and Iโll give three thousand dollars from the stash.โ โFour thousand,โ he counter-offered. I laughed. โDone.โ There was no money. But the bait was superb. Milo brushed his finger beneath my lower lip. โAfter you get your money, I have another interesting proposition for you.โ 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 grandfatherโs stance, but then I decided it wasnโt my story to tell. Max had hidden it from all of them for so long. Probably he had his reasons. Before leaving, Max said, โAs soon as you find Alex, you will let me know, okay?โ 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 didnโt 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. โHow are you feeling?โ โBet
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. โWhat are you looking at?โ he asked."I was wondering if the architect meticulously crafted that gargoyle to mirror your features."โVery lame,โ he said in a dry voice.I laughed at my joke as he led me inside. โYou need to rest, love,โ 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. โDaddy, letโs catch fish!โDane laughed as he picked up his son. A
Chapter 113Violet POVThe call couldnโt be traced by Daneโs 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 pupโs delivery date was near, he would take at least a monthโs off from his office and every other Alpha duty only to devote his time to me and the new pup. โAll the assignments are over, Luna Violet,โ Pippa informed me as she placed a thick set of documents on the table in my balcony. Sloane was also there with her. โThanks Pippa,โ 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 POVโI will go with you, Dane,โ 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 witchโs potion and hidden his identity, things were better. At least he wasnโt on everyoneโs radar for vengeance. And who the fuck was so deplorable to take a child to come back to me? โViolet, you arenโt going anywhere, you get that!โ his voice thundered in the main hall. โYou will sit at home. For fuckโs sake, you are going to deliver any time! And you want to take the risk? Is your head in the right place?โ โThen what should I do?โ I shouted. โWait here until he is killed?โ โViolet!โ he rasped, his eyes showing an expression of hurt. โDonโt say that.โ I could feel his misery through the bond. He was wearing a jacket. Instead of pulling on his other sleeve, he str
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. โThereโs a call from an unknown number,โ I announced. Immediately, everyone came into action. โPlease pick it up, Luna,โ said Phil, who was heading the IT group these days. โAnd try to talk as long as you can.โ As soon as I was about to pick it up, the call disconnected. โFuck!โ 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. โYou picked it late, bitch,โ a robotic male voice sounded. โWho are you?โ I asked. He sighed. โI have your son.โ Icy chill skittered down my spine. My jaws locked as panic rolled in waves. He laughed. โNervous, arenโt you? You took my daughter. I took your son. Good revenge, isnโt it?โ
Max POV Ben looked at me with worry in his eyes. โFather, I want to be with you.โ โBen, your father is old, but not weak. Go!โ 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. โAlex!โ I shouted. The man didnโt move. With Alex's reputation as a drunkard, I assumed he was pa
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 Violetโs theory. She was pointing at Alex.I sent five of my wolves over here to keep a watch, hoping against hope that Alex hadnโt escaped. He hadnโt. 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 pupโnow that was something. Could he do it alone? No. Then who was with him? โWhat do we do?โ Jackson said, pulling me out of my reverie.โSurround the building,โ I said as my claws elongated. โBut thereโs no one inside!โ Max said with irritation in his voice. โWeโve already seen every room, every hall and even storerooms.โ โYes,โ Ben added. โItโll be a waste of time.โ โ
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. โHere you go!โ Dave shouted as he splashed water over her. I chuckled and shook my head as I looked at her. Zal was Nitiโs 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 Daveโs 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. โAnd 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 Emilyโs throat. Shock filled me, sensing Dukeโs 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, Dukeโs protective instincts rushed in with red hot fury. With his fangs and teeth still in Emilyโs throat, he dragged her out of the basement room. โDane!โ Jackson called. โDaddyโฆโ Dave whimpered. I didnโt hear Maxโs 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 wasnโt satisfied. H
