Violet’s POV

As Alpha Ares pulled me out of the room, I couldn’t help but feel happy. Finally, someone was standing up for me; finally, I was going to leave this hell of a life. I didn’t care about the documents or terms.

All I knew was that I was leaving with one person who truly cared about me. As we got to his room, Ares' gaze softened, and his eyes filled with concern. He gently held my face, his warm touch sending shivers down my spine. 

"Are you okay, Violet?" he asked, his voice low and soothing. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes as I looked up at him, my heart overflowing with gratitude. "I'm okay," I whispered, even when I knew I wasn't.

But just standing there and looking straight into his eyes, I couldn’t feel the pain anymore. "Thanks to you, I'm finally free." He let out a soft smile. 

"You're safe now, Violet," he whispered back, cleaning my tears. In that moment, I felt a deep connection to this man, this stranger who had become my saviour. 

“He really hurt you badly,” he muttered, his voice tight with emotion. “Don’t worry, I’ll get you cleaned up now.” He quickly moved to the bathroom, returning with a bowl of water and a towel. 

“Take off your clothes,” he said, and with that, I gently took off my torn gown. His touch was gentle as he cleaned the blood from my skin, and when he was done, he handed me a soft shirt, his eyes never leaving mine. 

I slipped on the shirt, feeling like a whole new person already. "When are we leaving?" I asked, my voice urgent. I couldn't bear to stay in this pack a moment longer. 

"We'll leave as soon as I sign the documents. This pack brings back so many bad memories." Then he held my hand as we walked out of the room. “Take the logs to the car; I’ll be right down in a minute,” he ordered his guard. 

As we got closer to my stepfather’s office, the sound of Jackie's voice, shrill and angry, echoed down the hallway. "Daddy, why did you let him take her? I like him, and you know that!" she yelled, her words laced with desperation. 

Alpha Damian’s response was calm. "My baby girl, he's too old for you, and besides, we have something to gain from this. I'll find you a good match after they're gone."

But Jackie was having none of it. Alpha Ares didn’t care if they were arguing or not; he knocked on the door, and the argument ceased abruptly. As we entered, Jackie's eyes locked onto mine, her gaze venomous. 

Then Alpha Damian signalled her to leave the room, which she didn’t want to at first, but it was her father’s order. "You'll pay for this, Violet," she spat, her voice low and menacing. "I promise."

With that, she stormed out of the room, leaving us alone with Alpha Damian, whose gaze was fixed on me as he smiled. I shivered, but Ares's grip on my hand tightened, anchoring me to his side. 

"Shall we proceed with the documents? I have a lot of things to attend to in my pack," Ares said, his voice firm and commanding. Even if they were friends before, it looked like they were going to be enemies now because of me. 

Alpha Damian nodded. "Yes, let's get this over with." He handed the document to Ares, and he didn't hesitate, signing the papers in seconds. 

"If that's all, I'll be leaving with my mate," he declared. My stepfather smiled, his voice dripping with malice. "Fare well, you two, A pity the moon goddess gave you a mate as worthless as Violet."

Looking at my stepfather, I knew I was going to come back for him and take what was rightfully mine, but first I had to leave this pack. Ares pulled me out of the office, out of the mansion, and into a new life. 

We got into the car, and as we drove away, I felt a weight lift off my shoulders. After hours of driving, we finally arrived at Ares's pack. The massive gates swung open, revealing a stunning compound that took my breath away. 

The driver opened the door, and I stepped out, my eyes wide with wonder. The pack house was unlike anything I'd ever seen—sleek buildings and lush gardens. Truthfully, it was way more beautiful than the pack I was coming from. 

But my awe was short-lived as Ares expression darkened, his eyes blazing with anger. He walked ahead, no longer holding my hand or looking at me with kindness. I followed behind him, feeling a growing sense of unease. 

He wasn’t like this a few hours ago, I thought, but I decided to brush it off, not wanting to overthink. Suddenly, he turned around, his voice cold and harsh. "Where do you think you're going?" I stuttered, taken aback by his question. 

"Ermm...I thought we were...together?" He signalled two of his guards, and my heart raced as they approached me. “I don’t understand? What’s happening?” I asked as tears began to well up in my eyes.

“She’s the chosen one for the sacrifice. Take her to where she belongs.” The guard's rough hands grabbed me away from Ares’s side. I struggled, but they held me tight. 

“Let go of me, please!" I begged, but my pleas fell on deaf ears. Getting to the place that looked like a cell, the guard pushed me in. I stumbled, unable to see, and fell onto a cold, damp stone. 

“Let me out, please." I cried, banging the door hard until my hands went weak. “Why?...what have I done to deserve this?" My sobs echoed off the cold walls. I sat in darkness, my mind racing. 

"Was Ares going to kill me?" 

~~~~

I was locked in for days, and this time I could tell it was already late due to how dark the cell was. I just go from one problem to the other and from one cell to another; is this how my life is meant to be, moon goodness?

Suddenly the door creaked open. The guard walked in with a tray in his hand. “Seems like you’re one lucky lady.”

“Eat up; you’re not dying anymore,” he said, dropping the tray in front of me. “What do you mean by I’m not dying anymore?” I asked, feeling a bit relieved.

“Alpha Ares would be the one to explain better,” he said, and with that he walked out of the cell. I wasn’t aware of how hungry I was until I perceived the aroma of the food, and without a second thought, I devoured the meal.

After eating, I collapsed on the wall, thinking of my mom and twin sister Villette. And I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like if they were alive and here with me. Maybe things would have been different. 

I tried to forget about everything, but I couldn’t fall asleep and wondered why I was still in this cell if Ares wasn’t going to kill me anymore. “Or am I just going to be his prisoner forever?”

Lost in thought, I suddenly heard the sounds of footsteps approaching, and I figured it was one of the guards, but then the moment the door opened, a light flashed in my eyes, making me unable to see.

And then I was immediately blindfolded. I felt a strong hand cover my nose with a cloth, and then I passed out.

After what felt like an eternity, my eyes slowly opened, groggily taking in my surroundings. I tried to move, but I couldn't, and that was when I realised I was in a forest, tied to a tree with firewood stacked beneath my feet. 

Panic set in as she struggled against the ropes. A woman stood with her back facing me, ignoring my cries for help. "Please!" I begged, but the woman didn't flinch.

And when the woman was done with what she was doing, she turned to face me. Her hands grasped my face, holding it firmly. “Why did you bring me here?” I yelled.

"We’re just here to prove that the moon goddess was wrong about sacrificing you." She said as a mischievous smile spread across her lips.

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 5

    Alpha Ares’ POV“Where has she gone?” I asked the guards, but they shivered, unable to give me a response. I had gathered all of them in the courtyard.It turned out that one of the guards was passing through the cell where she had been kept, but she was nowhere to be found. “Alpha, Violet…” Colton, my beta, said, running into the room, panting. I closed my eyes, trying not to show my frustration at their incompetence. “I heard what happened to her already. Any news that might interest me?” I asked him, with my eyebrows raised. He had tried maintaining eye contact with me, but I knew that it was one thing that none of them could do. “Yes,” he nodded, hesitating. “Then what are you waiting for?!” He flinched immediately.“There was a woman taking her out of the palace gates.” I froze, running my hands through my hair. Whoever took her was from the palace.“Take me to where she had been kept,” I commanded Colton, and he led me to the fence where he had seen the woman with Violet in he

    Violet’s POV“I’m sorry?” I asked, hoping I had heard properly.“You heard me properly,” he said, rolling his eyes and sighing like he was tired of me already.“Then where will you sleep? I really don’t want to inconvenience you.”“It’s my palace.” With that, he was out of the room.Okay, he was rude. But it didn’t really matter to me. It was honestly none of my business.I looked around, trying to take in the décor of the room. Everything was in black and white. Simple, but obviously expensive. I headed to the bathroom, eager to get some water on my skin after all these days. I allowed the hot water to touch every part, ignoring how it stung the whip marks on my back. I found the soap that Ares uses. It smelt exactly like him. I used it, hoping he wouldn’t mind.By the time I was done, there was a dress on the bed. It was nothing expensive, but it looked and smelt clean. I quickly put it on, ignoring the fact that it was nothing like my size. It was too big, and the shoulders were

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 7

    Alpha Ares’ POVI was sitting by the window, taking a sip of my whiskey. That was the only thing that seemed to keep me at peace. Violet was safely locked in the dungeon. It was better than letting her out and allowing her to roam the palace with her eyes that made me want to pity her. Or the fact that it reminded me of the last person I wanted to think about.Like it wasn’t already funny that someone young enough to be my daughter was my mate. The priestess’ voice was still ringing in my head. She didn’t mention anything about looking for another person of the same blood. As far as we knew, Violet was the last descendant with that kind of blood. I was half furious that I had signed a contract to bring back someone that useless. I tried to look at the bright side of it. I now had a personal maid that I had almost had sex with once. A small knock came at the door, bringing me out of my thoughts. “Come in,” I said, not even paying attention. Suddenly, the same scent that had mixed w

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 8

    Violet’s POV“The Alpha calls for you,” a familiar raspy voice said right at my head. I opened my eyes, trying to adjust to the lighting that was directly gleaming in my eyes from the tiny window I had in the room.“Yes, ma’am,” the guards said, and I heard receding footsteps. I closed my eyes, praying to get some proper sleep. The hay was kept pricking into my back, and the sounds and bites of bugs weren’t letting me sleep either.I heard the sound of padlocks opening, and that finally got me to raise my head. The woman that had abducted me was standing right in front of me. She had her hands on her waist, and her head cocked to the side. Her mouth was set in a sinister smile.“Alpha Ares’ mate,” she said in a sing-song voice as she walked into my “room” without any permission. I stood up immediately. “What are you doing here?” I asked and instantly knew that it was the wrong question. The guards had respected her. Did that mean she was a part of the pack? “This is my place,” she sa

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 9

    Alpha Ares’ POV“You really slept for quite some time,” Colton remarked with a smirk on his face. He wasn’t lying, but I wasn’t going to tell him that.It was probably because of the war we had yesterday,” I told him, hoping he wasn’t going to say anything else, but the signs flew right past his head.“Are you sure it wasn’t because of the person that you had slept with in your room? Because a few hours of extra sleep from Almighty Alpha Ares wasn’t something we got to see in a million years.”I had craved that extra sleep. And I had only gotten it twice. And they both happened when… I shook my head, trying not to think too much about it.“Does everybody know that she slept in the same room as me?” Colton didn’t even hesitate to nod. “Almost everybody in the pack pays attention to the things you do.”He finally got to shut up as the car stopped right in front of the Green Embers pack. We were to sign some documents with them as a form of alliance between both packs.The Alpha, Kyros,

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 10

    Alpha Ares’ POVMy plate was empty within a few minutes and so was Colton’s. We couldn't even deny how delicious it was. The girl deserves a reward. Well, not because she was my mate but because of her cooking skills. Did I say the girl was useless? She might not be able to heal me, but she definitely had kitchen powers. Jackie came out from wherever she was, with her hair scattered around the place like a bird nest. I looked to see if Colton was looking at her that way, but he wasn't. He looked away just as soon as I did. “Morning, Ares,” she greeted. Did her father not teach her any manners? Colton stifled a laugh, and I totally ignored Jackie. “Can I get some breakfast around here?” she asked rhetorically before screaming out the one name that didn’t deserve to be on her lips.“Violet!!” Like an obedient child, Violet hurried out of the kitchen. What was all the big talk about her being my personal maid? Her head was down, and she had strands of hair covering her face.If I had

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 11

    Violet’s POVBy the time I opened my eyes in the morning, the door to my room was open. Belladonna was standing right in front of me again. I almost rolled my eyes at the sight of her.“The Alpha has asked me not to do any work for anybody else,” I said immediately, not even listening to whatever she wanted to say. She shook her head like I was the most stupid person in the world. She looked around the room, running her hands through the things that were in place. She was purposely scattering them, knowing that I couldn’t do anything.“He really put things into place for you,” she said, sitting on the bed beside me. “At least before he uses you.” She was the second person I was hearing it from.“What do you guys mean by using me?”“You will still be used for the sacrifice? Why do you think I was being wicked to you? I was mad that he was pretending when he could have ended the whole thing a long time ago.”“He was still going to sacrifice me to the Goddess?” I asked, finding it hard

    Violet’s POVI opened my eyes, trying to take in my surroundings. I could swear that I had never seen the place before. My head was throbbing, and my hands immediately went to my head to massage it.Memories came flooding back immediately. I had made it past the gate and into the woods. There were strange sounds, and thorns had kept finding their way into my feet, but that didn’t stop me from going. It felt like I could feel Ares breathing down on my neck. There was a man that went on a walk with his men. They had instantly stopped at the sight of me running towards them and asked me what the problem was. I didn’t tell them much, but the man’s kind eyes and playful smile made me tell him my name. That was the last thing I remembered before I collapsed into his arms.My whole body ached as I managed to get up. I groaned in pain. “Are you finally awake?” the same voice asked. I turned my neck to his side immediately. That playful smile was still on his lips. Only smaller this time. A

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 70

    ARES' POVI didn’t know how long it was going to take, but I knew that I was going to be standing at Violet’s door for a long time. There was nothing I could even do about it. but it finally felt nice to finally fight for her. To do something for her. I was yearning for her attention too badly. She had to answer me.I hated the fact that she had to see me weak. That she had to see me speechless for the first time. It was insulting. But I knew I wouldn’t mind if it was just in front of those men. I was already planning a little surprise party for her when the guards had called my attention that those men had come to see me. I was shocked that they were back. Them, telling me that they had brought evidence. I didn’t even want to see them there. I didn’t want to have them around when Violet was having her own important day. She had just had her coronation. I knew that no one had planned a party for her just yet. I was to be the first person. She had practically let me hold her hand t

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 69

    VIOLET’S POVI held my gown in my hands as I headed upstairs. My heart was beating fast, against my rib cage. I was nervous, and curious at the same time. Ares, Alpha of RavenClaw was definitely not going to be the end of me. I searched the terrace for him. But he was nowhere to be found. “Ares?” I called out, hoping that he hadn’t collapsed just yet. Even if he did, I hoped that he would be able to moan out at least, for me to know exactly where he was.There wasn’t a single sound. I couldn’t stop my heart beat. It was becoming even more painful. My hand was pressed against my chest, trying to subdue the pain. It did nothing to help. It was extremely annoying that I couldn’t heal my own pain. Worse that it was feeling almost the same way as Ares said he was feeling. Could it be that I had absorbed too much of his illness? The thought was out of my mind before I could even think about it too much. I held on to the banister of the stairs as I continued looking for Ares. I finally go

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 68

    VIOLET’S POVI swallowed hard. What was she doing with hallucinations? Was she making any of us hallucinate? I badly wanted to inform Ares about everything, but something told me that this girl was too knowing. There were so many things she was aware of. Things she wasn’t even supposed to know. And how long was it going to take until she took over every single thing?The pack members had gone from staring at her to clapping. The only people that seemed immune to these things were me, Ares, Alpha Kyros, Jackie, and Belladonna. The five of us were staring at each other. Even Alpha Damien, Luna, Lynn and Adrian were busy clapping like no man’s business. Ares had looked at me. I knew that he was about to say something. I looked at Mira, and her eyes were on the both of us again. I gently squeezed Ares’s hands that were still in mine. That was a sign to tell him not to speak. I was relieved when he nodded at me, showing that he understood everything. I let out a small sigh of relief. W

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 67

    VIOLET'S POV I looked back one more time as I slipped into the priestess’ lair. I knew that everyone was going to be looking for me. It was supposed to be my crowning as a Luna that evening, but I was nowhere to be found. I should have been dressing up for the ceremony already. I hated the kind of energy that the lair was giving. But I still needed to meet with Mira. Luckily, she was still in that chair that she always was. Poring over a book. How was someone as young as she was so skilled? Her eyebrows cocked up, and he frowned. I couldn't help but wonder what was in the book that made her smile. She suddenly looked up, and the smile on her face was cleared in a second. She shut the book immediately and got up from her chair. “Luna, you're here.” She said calmly. I noticed that the excitement she had on her face the first time she saw me was gone. Was it because of everything that happened the first time I got there? “Yes”, I said, plastering a fake smile on my face. “I'm here

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 66

    ARES’ POVBy the time I had woken up, I had no idea what time it was. But I definitely felt better. It was like most of the pain had been taken away from my body. I moved my limbs to make sure they were still working. The presence of the little being beside me gave me some sort of peace that I didn’t know ever existed. I ran my hands through her hair. She had let me into her room. I knew that she wouldn’t have let me remain outside. There was a certain joy that came with marking all her things. There was no way she was going to sleep in this room without remembering that I was there with her on this day. There was no way she was going to stay in the room without remembering my scent.I was glad to be out of the torturous dreams that included her. I had screamed her name so much in my dreams that even my throat was sore. I wrapped my hands around Violet, resisting the urge to pull her closer. I didn’t want to wake her up. And I wasn’t sure she wanted to see me when she was awake ei

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 65

    VIOLET’S POVAres was the last person I was expecting at my door that morning. Lynn had told me that he was carried to his room by Jackie and her father. None of the pack members were willing to even touch him. He had lost every form of power over them. I had no idea how he was going to meet up with things or redeem himself, but it was definitely going to take him a lot. More than 90 per cent of the pack were with me. The remaining ten percent were too scared to do anything. I wanted to hold him as he practically crumpled to the ground. I was almost touched by the fact that he struggled to come to my room, even when he was obviously in pain. But I didn’t ask him to come, did I? And the way Jackie and Alpha Damien carried him to his room was funny when Lynn was describing it. I couldn’t help but laugh. Even if the laugh was definitely fake. It wasn’t from my mind. I wanted to kick his feet away from the way. I wanted to slam the door and leave him there until he woke up. I badly w

    ARES' POV“You betrayed me one more time,” Violet said, as the tears streamed down her face. “How many more chances do you want me to give you? I get tired too. I can cheat if I want as well.”I tried to reach out to her, but she continuously pushed me away. I wanted to hold her so bad. I wanted to tell her that she didn't have to cry. I wanted to tell her that she didn't have to be sad because of me. I wanted to tell her that she had the freedom to leave, even if it will crumble me and the pack. I reached for her one more time, and she had turned into thin air immediately after my fingertips brushed against her skin. The whole room was pitch black, and the only thing I could hear was her sniffling. I could barely even feel my own self. My limbs had turned numb and were lying by my sides, feeling more useless than they have in a long time.I tried to raise them one more time in the darkness, and I felt myself being thrown from a high building. I opened my mouth to scream, but no wor

    ARES' POVI stared at Jackie in shock. I could feel every single eye on me. What did she mean by saying she was carrying my child? That was not possible. I had barely even touched her. Ever in my life.The room was incredibly silent. Compared to the shouting I was actually expecting from them. They were probably waiting for me to say something, but the words refused to leave my mouth.What did I want to say to begin with? I stared down at the tiny hand that was still in mine. Violet looked up at me expectantly. I wanted to assure her so badly. I had opened my mouth to speak. Even if it was a simple nod. But I couldn't even give that much to her. It felt like the only things I could move on my own body were my eyes. I knew that I was looking guiltier than I have in a thousand years.I saw her face swiftly change from expectant to disgusted. She removed my hand from hers immediately. “Is it true?” She asked a little too calmly. Why wasn't she screaming? I felt my heart turn at the sou

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 62

    VIOLET’S POVThe way I was having Ares was definitely something to worry about. And so was the way I was craving him. It was becoming addictive. He was becoming a drug I felt like I could never have enough of. I was getting ready for my own mating ceremony. And the makeup artist was doing whatever magic she was performing on my face. But there I was, sitting on the chair in front of the mirror, pressing my thighs together at the thought of how he might look in a suit. I shook my head at my own self. It was finally my own mating ceremony. The day that was going to be the happiest of my life. There were so many things that I was planning on doing after the wedding, and I was finally going to. Ares had brought out a part of me that I never thought I had. He had brought out a kind of hunger that felt like it couldn’t be satiated. He had really kept to his word on me not touching him. And all I wanted to do was touch him as much as I wanted to. “You are really pretty, Luna,” one of th
