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

    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

    VIOLET’S POVShopping with Lynn for my wedding was the one thing I wanted to do. But since she wasn’t here, I definitely had to opt for Akira. But first, I wanted to visit Luna and Kyros. They had invited Ares and me for dinner that evening, but I still needed to see her. There was something missing that none of us had even noticed.As I walked through the big gates, I had memories of Ares’ and my vacation flooding back. It had just been a day since we had been away, but it felt like ages ago. Those were one of the perfect moments when I had totally tried to forget about anything that concerns the abduction. We were just a day into the palace, and the Elders were already bringing up the topic like it was the only thing they could talk about. I was hurt that Ares didn’t even tell me about the men that had come to see him. If he was not hiding anything from me, why didn’t he tell me? It couldn’t have been something that skipped his mind.Knowing Ares, that was the kind of thing that

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 59

    ARES’ POVMy heart was in my mouth as I headed towards the hall for the meeting with the elders. That was the last place I wanted to be. Except I was going with Violet, of course. But she was having a meeting with the females of the pack. She desperately wanted to talk to them about how they could improve the conditions of the pack. I could see how eager she was about the whole thing, and I didn’t want to stop her from doing that. It was for the benefit of the pack, and I knew they were going to listen to her. She said she wanted to do the same thing for the men. She told me she was waiting for me to come back so she could talk about some plans that she had. It was comfortable with her tiny body moving around the room as she made her plans on different documents. I couldn’t wait to see what plans she had in store. She wasn’t the Luna, and she was already doing so much. I couldn’t push the thought that the whole marriage was a contract. She was gaining the respect that she wanted,

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 58

    ARES' POVViolet was unusually silent as we drove back home. Her head was rested on the velvety seat, with her eyes closed. “Are you okay?” I asked, and she opened her eyes immediately. I could never get used to how void and darker her eyes seemed now. It was like it had lost all its colour. I didn't know how she did it, but I definitely loved her eyes having that colour and happiness to them. She smiled from time to time, but that wasn't the happiness I was talking about. I wanted real and eternal happiness for her. I didn't know why I wanted to do all these things for her. I felt like I owed her at least that much. She had done enough for me and the pack. The sacrifices she had taken. And the ones she was willing to take. She definitely knew what she was taking on when she agreed to be the Luna of my pack. And I already had the faith that she was going to handle everything as properly as she was supposed to. “Yes,” she whispered as she stared outside. “I'm okay. Just thinking a

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 57

    VIOLET’S POVEverything was finally set. I couldn’t help but step back and appreciate the work I had done. Luna came downstairs, looking all decked. The sky was already dark, and I knew they were waiting to sight the moon. The whole hall was so bright, I was sure that the decorations could be seen from miles afar. But inside, it was extremely mild. Nothing that would affect people’s eyes. Ares had helped a lot. I was looking for him to appreciate him a lot for the things he had done. When he was working for me, nobody would see him and believe that he is actually an Alpha. He was being so down to earth, carrying all the things I was asking him to, without a hassle. He gave me the occasional wink or “accidental” bump of my shoulder. Little things that kept me energized and ready for anything that was coming to hit me. And now, I was finally done . “What are you still doing here?” Luna asked, as she straightened the purple dress she was wearing. She was looking younger than even I

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 56

    VIOLET’S POV“Are you sure everything is complete?” Luna asked me, as I walked past her in the hallway. I could barely answer her, but I hoped she saw me nod. Everything about the hall was already falling into place, and I was loving it. I had already sent some of the maids to go and pick the dress from the sassy tailor and pick the cake from the oh-so-kind Diante.I was just telling the decorators how we wanted the curtains and confetti to be hung when one of the guards came, seeking my attention. “Is there any problem?” I asked, and he nodded, breathing hard.“Well, what is it?”“Ma’am, the maids said that they would not be able to get the cake from Diante.” I was already sweating at the news. It was Lynn’s wedding and mating ceremony. It had to be perfect. It was also going to be the first time that I was going to meet her mate’s family. We had to create a good and lasting impression, didn’t we? I looked around, seeing if I could find Ares anywhere. He was barely there. He was w

    ARES’ POVI could see the way she was trying to trust me in her eyes as I gave her my hands. She finally took it, and I led her upstairs. I wanted to wait until evening, but I needed to make her feel better. I don’t know if she knew that I was aware that she had gone to meet Adrian in the car. I wanted to drag her little ass away from that guy. I knew that he was Alpha Kyros’ child, but once more, he was nothing like his father. Kyros was the one that asked me to allow the both of them to talk. After all, she was friends with Adrian before she became close to her. And he was right. I had no right to steal her friends from her.I wasn’t going to be overprotective of her. Or so I thought. Because I was sure as hell that I wanted her hands in mine the whole time. I had prevented her from eating enough the day before, and I was going to make up for that.Kyros was the one that told me to plan something for her. Forgive me, but I was never a romantic person. Even being young, I was alway

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 54

    VIOLET’S POVI didn’t even think about stopping until I got to Adrian’s door. I knocked countless times, but he didn’t open the door. Adrian was definitely not a deep sleeper. He knew that I knew the disgusting thing he did. I mean, how could he be comfortable with something like that? Was he that cringe? I was a lover and respecter of privacy, but this was a pressing issue. I turned the doorknob, and it was open. I walked right in, and Adrian was just standing there, smiling at me. Something told me to turn back and head out immediately, but I didn’t listen to that voice.“You came,” he said in a cool voice. A voice so cool that it made my head spin. “You were expecting me?” I asked, and he nodded.“I was waiting for you to come and check up on me. And of course, ask if I was really getting married to Hazel.” I frowned. I was even searching my brain, piece by piece, looking for that anger I had felt and the burst of emotions I had in me. “What were you doing, watching Ares and me

    VIOLET’S POVHe leaned down and tipped my chin as he slammed his lips against mine. I couldn’t help but moan immediately. Ares chuckled against my lips like he knew the effect he had on me. He leaned down a bit, putting his hand behind my thighs as he picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his torso. I was now at the same level with him. I broke the kiss as I smiled at him.“Damn, I’ve been waiting for this,” he whispered against my lips. He didn’t even give me a chance to breathe before he started kissing me again. He leaned down to kiss my neck, and I moaned against him, leaning in and wrapping my legs around him even tighter. I could feel him getting hard beneath me.He slowly laid me back on the bed as he unbuttoned the pyjamas that I was wearing. I tried to search my brain for voices telling me to stop him, but there was none. I closed my eyes and allowed him to take control of me.“Are you sure you are okay with this?” he asked me, and I nodded a little too eagerly. He chuckle

  • My Ex-Lover’s Daughter Is My Mate   Chapter 52

    VIOLET’S POVThe way I jumped on Alpha Kyros when he came back from his meeting was out of this world. The whole family was gathered in the dining room when he returned. I was the first to hurry out of my seat to hug him. He was the one person that made me feel like I had a father. Of course, he was my only father figure. He ran his hands through my hair. He had me in his arms the whole time even as he leaned down to kiss his wife. His kids hugged him on the other side, while I was still in his arms. Ares nodded at him, and he nodded back. I could tell that things were not really fine with them. He took my hand in his as he led me upstairs. I looked back and met Ares’ worried look. Was there something the both of them were hiding? Kyros finally stopped at the top of the stairs, where we were out of hearing range of the family.“Is something wrong?” I asked him, and he shook his head. He brought me in for another hug, and I allowed myself to inhale his clean scent. How could he go t
