Violet POV

Seeing Jake sitting across me brings back memories about the days I was head over heels for this dude.

His words and actions are the reason for whatever negative feelings I've built up for him over the years. Instead of the love and admiration I once had, it's now hate and nothing more than that.

Now to the issue that brought me to Jake's office. We are discussing our marriage and Jake doesn't seem to be embracing the notion that I'm going to be Mrs Aloysius. But who cares, I might as well use this opportunity to get back at him, and there is always room for divorce any way.

"I can't believe you are in support of this marriage of a thing, you and I can't work, there is no way that is possible. Everyone knows the very sight of you disgust me; what more living in the same house and having to see your ugly face" Jake said to my utmost dismay. The last thing I want right now is someone calling me ugly. I have worked so hard to build my confidence and now this dude wants to crack it, I definitely won't stand for it.

"I know I'm not that much of a looker but I'm sure they are guys willing to sell their entire fortune to spend one night with me," I retorted.

Jake burst out laughing like some one who just inhaled laughing gas (nitrous oxide). What's funny? I asked him losing a little bit of my comportment. "The fact that you regard yourself in such a high manner calls for laughter, don't you think you ugly ass?" Jake said again and this time I was fuming.

"You always have to have the last word and I'll let you have it this time but not before paying you back in your own coin", I said to him while smirking.

"I came so we will discuss how we'll evade the marriage talks but it seems we'll be meeting with our parents tomorrow evening seeing as you are not in the mood for co-operation. See you later tomorrow", I said as I took my hand bag and cat walked out of his office.

"Wait ! Violet!!..." I heard Jake say but I have given him enough time to insult me and I'm not giving him another chance even if it's an apology he wants to utter, I don't care. I've walked far enough from his office but I can still hear the loud frustrating groan he let out. Serves him right.

...

Jake's POV

I guessed I messed this one up seeing as Violet is refusing my calls. After what happened earlier, I tried calling her to apologize and see how we can try to escape this marriage of a thing, but my big mouth wouldn't just keep shut. I just had to insult Violet and ruin everything.

*Ring*

My father was calling. I'm sure it's to talk about dinner with Violet's family. I really didn't want to pick the call but there is no running away from this situation so...

"Hello dad" I said. "Yeah, hello" I heard my dad say. "Well, I was just calling to inform you of dinner with the Blaze by seven PM tomorrow . Ensure to be on time and on your best behavior so as to not arise questions on my upbringing" my dad continued.

"Alright dad I'll be there" I said and he hung the call. No need for long talks.

Being the alpha of the once most largest pack to exist, my father has the urge to make everything perfect. No mistakes allowed, he would blow up a fuse if any of his plans are altered by the slightest mishap. He was always on edge, and I think this is what brought our pack to destruction, scattered round the world, in fear that we'll be discovered.

And after the incident that caused our pack to be destroyed the urge for perfection surged more in my dad. He wants to let the people know that, though we may be separated, we are together at heart.

Over the years, many of our pack members have lost faith that the time will come where we can reside together as a pack again. If we can dance round, the bonfire again as we sing praises to the moon goddess, without the investigative and curious humans lurking around.

My father is anxious to ignite hope in the hearts of the pack members and he wants to do it, through me.

It is said that whenever an alpha finds their a mate, the moon goddess blesses the pack tremendously. Legend says every pack members gets their wish granted. My father is betting on that superstition that moon goddess will favour the pack and all will go back to normal.

But I don't believe in all those shit. I understand my dad but I don't think I can sacrifice my happiness for the pack. What's destroyed is destroyed.

Even if most werewolves believe their happiness lies with their mate, I don't think mine lies with violet. I need a plan to escape this

    Jake's povThe plan was simple. Go let the family know that I'm in no way intrested in this marriage, not by words though, but by actions. I mean what parent will let a guy who has bad manners and lack of respect marry their daughter. Coupled with the fact that I detest their daughter ... I could already see the plan working as it plays in my head. I know that won't be enough to stop this marriage, but I'm sure I'll figure out something.

He was all sweaty, his hair all ruffled. The first three buttons were undone, creases could be seen all over his suit. He looked like he just came back from a fight."

    Kimberly POVThat really happened, woah, Jake really got some guts, I say to Violet on the phone. She narrated all that happened at the dinner and all I can say was that if this marriage is happening then these two are really fated for each other , cause knowing Violet's mum, her only child can't marry someone with a character like Jake. I feel so guilty but I can't tell Violet that I put her in this predicament. Sure they were still going to marry with or without the mate bond, but me telling their parents they were mates made them more intent on getting them married.

The black haired guy proceeded to say."She's not the one we're looking for."" The priestess said she's the one, are you saying she was lying?" The brown haired guy asked suspiciously." She made a mistake." Kendrick said as he walked slowly towards them with his hands behind his back. " Leave her alone and go back before you expose more than you should."" And what makes you think we'll listen to you?" The brown haired guy questioned. He had always hated Kendrick, so if it means killing Violet just so that he won't have to follow Kendrick's orders, then he'll do with it even without Violet being the one they were looking for." Are you challenging me?" Kendrick asked as he tilted his head slightly with a smirk etched on his lips." What if I am?"" Try me. "The black haired guy just stood at the side watch

Even if I agree to this marriage, you certainly know that Jake wouldn't, you saw what he did that day, he is hellbent on not marrying me."

I slowly slid down to the floor. "When you humiliated me in front of all the students, juniors included. You know, even after what you did, I still couldn't stop myself from liking you. I was upset, I even ignored you, but every time I saw you, even from a mile away, I wished you'd just say a simple hi to me. I still feel the same way now. I wish you'd greet me good morning, I wish you'd ask about my day, but you never did, and I only ended up feeling hurt."

I yelled at Jake as I held tightly unto my towel. I watched as he lustfully trailed his eyes from my legs to my face.

That should be relieving– I knew where she was, but why did that feel unnerving? I felt like something bad happened."Where are you going?" Thomas shouted after me as I ran past him."The forest," I don't know if he heard me. I had run quite far before I yelled. I went to the back of the pack house first and I saw Violet's bundle of clothes.

    Violet’s POVWas I wrong to be thinking about my nakedness at this moment?If I wanted to get answers from Emily, I would have to change into my human form. I didn’t bring any clothes with me and it was the first time someone would see me naked. Apart from my mum who was with me on my first shift, no one has seen me naked. Nudity was very common within werewolves but since I haven’t gotten used to being naked around others…I practically act like a human.I know right. Silly of me to be thinking about my nakedness in this kind of situation. I turned back to look at Kendrick who was still laying behind the log of wood- wasn’t he uncomfortable naked? - and then at Emily, who stood smugly in front of me without saying anything. I take that she thought I was surprised seeing her here, meanwhile, I was contemplating if I should shift, or just run away. No. running was not an option; I would seem like a coward.“Surprise!” Emily exclaimed and I growled. “You’re still as feisty as the last t

Now that I had already married Jake and was the potential future Luna of the pack, they started acting awkwardly around me. I guess they didn’t know how to act since all they’ve ever done was insult me in the past. “Violet…” it has been long since I heard that voice. My wolf, Jumi. Ever since the rejection from Jake, she had cut contact with me and the outside world and has slept t herself ever since.
