And a Sparky was born. Only one chapter tonight. I'm currently working on the next chapter and will have it up as soon as it's finished.
ENZOLooking at the interactions between my brother and Violet, one would think that they had been friends for a long time. Nobody would assume that they had just very recently met.Niccolò’s personality tended to draw people in, so I wasn’t the least bit surprised when it happened to Violet. Honestly, I hadn’t seen Niccolò open up so quickly and freely as he had with her.I agreed with him that there was just something different about her even if neither of us knew what it was.This situation wasn’t easy on her. She spent her entire life believing that she was human, and the supernatural world was just a fictional element. Then everything changed when the truth was metaphorically slapped her in the face.I had to hand it to her though. Her reaction to it all was fairly mellow. I wasn’t certain if it just hadn’t set in yet or if her mind was just more open to it. There was a variety of reactions that I’ve witnessed over the years when humans were exposed to the truth. Sometimes it went
ENZO“You stupid fucking bitch. I should’ve just killed you the day I figured out that your whore of a mother was a fucking monster,” he spat at her.If I hadn’t been looking at Violet, I never would’ve seen her eyes flash in response to his words. I made a mental note of that for later. Clues like that would help us to narrow down what she was. It didn’t matter what that ended up being. It was only important so that she could be trained properly.An easy example was someone who held magic within them. Think about it. If they were being trained as if the magic was a witch’s magic but was actually Fae magic then it could become problematic because those two types were vastly different. There were fundamental elements that could be triggered without someone realizing it.“Ah, but then you wouldn’t have made the big bucks that you demanded that I provide to you. God forbid that you actually worked for your own money. Instead of manning the fuck up and putting on your big girl panties, you
VIOLETSomeone knocking on the door temporarily distracted me from the shitstorm of thoughts in my head.Three days had passed since I found out that Daphne was handed over to the hunters.Guilt drowned me, refusing to let me surface. I was dying inside with worry for my beautiful sister. She was so damn sweet and innocent, a true light in this world.I was supposed to protect her. It was my job. I failed, and now she’d suffer the consequences. I should’ve just ran with her any of the times that I’d thought about it in the past.If only time travel was real…Niccolò was on the other side of the door when I opened it up.I’d been given a room here at their packhouse, which was what I’d come to learn that it was called. It was hilarious to compare this new reality of mine to the ones that were in some of my favorite books.Never once had I imagined that I’d find myself in a world that was similar to those created by my favorite authors. Oh, how much I used to wish that I was Alpha Gray’s
ENZOOur tech guys hadn’t been able to get anything of substance from Ron’s phone regarding the hunters because the number that he’d called had already been disconnected. There was no telling if it was because he had nothing more to offer them or if it was a precaution, seeing as we had already cockblocked them with Violet.I refused to let anyone else read what the deranged fucker had written about Violet, so that was being handled by me in hopes that he’d left any clue about this mystery woman. The answer, as of right now, was a big negative.Something that his disgusting journal showed me was how fucking strong Violet was to have endured it all in order to protect Daphne. I now understood how she could endure pain without much reaction. It was because of everything he had done to her. He was very vivid in detailing each injury he gave her and each way he would torture her emotionally.Sadly, there had only been time for me to have one torture session with him because I had a multi-b
VIOLETTo say that I was nervous about today would be a massive understatement.Honestly, I’d somewhat thought that Enzo was joking when he came in to talk to me about being his PA. Boy, was I wrong.Obviously, it wasn’t something that I felt qualified for. He took that into consideration and tested me. The scenarios that he chose weren’t simple or straightforward, requiring quick thinking with a bit of creativity sprinkled in.It wasn’t until I officially agreed to do it that he dropped a huge ass bombshell on me. I’d be working as the PA for the CEO of Vittori Enterprises.Enzo and Niccolò’s last name were Vittori, something that neither of them had shared up until that point. It made sense though when Enzo pointed out that everyone treated them as their last name instead of as the people that they were. I could understand how difficult that’d be.You couldn’t throw a pebble somewhere that either didn’t know about the company or didn’t use its products. As far as I understood, they h
ENZOMy thumb tapped against desk while I peeked over at the security feed of Violet once again. It might be obsessive, but I was enthralled with this tiger.I was ecstatic to know that my assumption had been correct that she’d rock as my PA. We were only halfway through the day, but she’d already become acclimated with the systems and properly filed test cases that I gave her. She caught the discrepancies that others had failed to notice in the past.Not to mention that she looked fucking stunning today. Her body was dressed in a navy pencil skirt, matching blazer, and white blouse. It was a very common type of outfit for females to wear around here, but I’d never seen an outfit do to a female’s body the justice that it did to hers. Her ass also looked incredible. I was an ass man. Even if a chick had the best fucking features but had no ass then it’d be a hard pass for me. Everyone had their own preferences.A ringing phone pulled my attention away from the beauty on the screen.“Bos
VIOLETI'd originally been worried about being able to do a good job as Enzo's PA, but I'd come to realize that it wasn't as difficult as I'd thought. Thankfully, my attention to detail, time management, and organizational skills certainly came in handy.It wasn’t always going to be smooth sailing, but I felt that the first day ended on a positive note. It was great to feel useful. Part of me had worried that I’d fuck everything up, but it didn’t seem to happen.There were plenty of gawkers anytime that I was around other employees, especially when I’d made my way down to the cafeteria, but I didn’t let it bother me. Something Mom used to say was ‘some people just need a high-five to the face with a chair.’ I couldn’t agree more. That thought helped me to keep my sanity.I could see myself really enjoying working here. I just hoped that I had what it took in the long run and trusted that my boss would be honest with me about my performance.Niccolò was acting oddly on the drive home.
ENZOFriday came all too soon but not soon enough at the same time.Alpha Maxwell was scheduled to get here soon. I wanted to get him settled before Violet would come in to bring us coffee. We were positive that he was her sperm donor, as she had been referring to him as, and would immediately feel a connection because werewolves were able to sense their kin.Niccolò had been training Violet every evening after she got back from work. He had expressed that she was a quick learner and was impressed by how quickly she caught onto what he taught. He also said that her stamina was steadily increasing with each session. All of this was without the aid of a wolf, which just showed how strong her starting point was.There was no guarantee that she’d get a wolf, but Titan was very certain that she would. Who was I to argue with that? It made me wonder what her wolf would be like. What I knew for certain was that she was bound to be powerful given Violet’s DNA.Surprisingly, she’d taken the DNA
VIOLETHis arms wrapped around me, causing me to lose the battle with my tears. My face was buried against his chest. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I cried. Enzo just held me to him, providing whatever strength that he could.I had no idea how long I cried, but my eyes eventually ran dry. Enzo tilted my chin up so that he could wipe my tears away. There was such gentleness in his eyes, but there was also fierce protectiveness. He didn’t know what caused me to cry, but I had no doubt that he would wish to destroy its origin. That’d be an absolute certainty with it being Alpha Bradley.“Do you want to talk about it, Amore Mio?” he asked me softly.Something that I’ve appreciated about my mate was the fact that he had always let me decide if I wanted to share something and didn’t push me if I were to say no. He respected my choices. I was a lucky bitch to be mated to him.I took a deep breath and opened up my mind so that he could see the memory, doubting that I’d be able to verbalize
VIOLETDarkness surrounded me when awareness came to me. There was a sense of wrongness all around me, chilling me to the bone. The darkness bore down, suffocating and oppressive in nature. I attempted to move but was restrained by something. There was a pounding in my chest as I tried to control my rising panic because it’d do nothing good or beneficial.“Listen to that racing heart,” a very distinct voice murmured into my ear. “Can’t move? Where is all of that strength? Perhaps you’re nothing more than a weak wannabe, pretending to be something that you aren’t,” he taunted me.I felt Reika stirring within me, her steady presence providing me with a sense of calm. It reminded me that I wasn’t alone.“Think what you wish, but we both know the truth,” I replied calmly, my lips turning up into a smirk. “Between the two of us, you’re the one that relies on others for your strength while I rely on nobody because I fight my own battles.”I wasn’t all that surprised when he lost his cool an
ENZOMy instincts were on high alert as we walked into the auditorium where the Sentinels were waiting for us. Titan and I were preparing for anything because we refused to allow anything else to happen to her. I felt like a fucking failure with how many times she had been harmed since she came into our lives. Circumstances weren’t always in our control, but that did nothing to change the guilt that Titan and I both felt. Hopefully, we’d be able to leave after this because we could feel her fatigue setting in – both physical and emotional in nature. Today didn’t go the way that we’d hoped for it to go, but there was no chance of getting a redo.The large auditorium was already filled with more bodies than I could even guestimate but at least in the thousands. There was no doubt in my mind that there were those loyal to Alpha Bradley, which had me nervous as fuck because they had no qualms in opening fire on us.The remaining Council members had us wait off-stage but said that they’d
VIOLETI was past the point of fed-up with these damn Council Alphas. They were more worried about public image than anything else at the moment. Yes, they needed to get ahead of Alpha Bradley, but that did not mean they should disregard the more important issue right now.THEY STILL DID NOT KNOW WHICH SENTINELS WERE LOYAL TO THEM.I had hoped that they would not need to have their damn hands held as they traversed the minefield that they currently found themselves in, but my hope was futile. How in the living hell did they ever get anything important done?Reika finally had enough just like I had. A loud snarl ripped through the air. All bickering finally stopped, and the sweet sound of silence hung in the air like a thick blanket.“Can we focus on the most important part right now?” I deadpanned, somehow keeping the irritation out of my voice.The Alphas exchanged a glance before looking back at me. I didn’t need to feel their emotions to know that they were irritated with my disturb
ENZOMy heart was in my throat as my mate rushed out of the room to go after the fucker. I didn’t get any time to consider all of the ways that it could go wrong because there were at least thirty Sentinels with their guns aimed at us all.“I SAID TO STAND DOWN!” one of the Alphas shouted out.Was he that fucking stupid to realize that it was going to fail a second time if it’d so gloriously failed the first time? I still didn’t understand how they’d be so unaware of how fucked this situation had gotten. How had they not realized that two of their own had turned their backs on the Council’s cause and had a force of Sentinels under Alpha Bradley’s leadership instead of their own?“They’re loyal to Alpha Bradly instead of you all. It’s not going to do shit. Give me permission to get my people in here unless you all want to see how far their loyalty to the fucker goes,” I insisted.As if to prove my point, someone fired their gun at Alpha Amir. He dove out of the way just in time. He shou
VIOLET“You've gotten faster.”My head whipped around and saw Daph right behind me. What in the fuck was she doing out here? The plan had been for Lilac to teleport her home if anything went down. This was definitely not taking her home. “What are you doing here? Daph, this wasn't the plan,” I said sternly. My lovely sister just rolled her eyes as she sped up so that we were side by side. She'd been putting in a lot of effort in training over the past two weeks and did phenomenal, but that was during training. This was definitely not training.“I don't have full access to my magic yet, but Mom's been teaching me. Our Pi Day victim has worked with my physical training. I'm not weak or useless. Face it, Vi, we all have a stake in seeing this bastard caught.”Damnit. She was right. He'd hurt her too. I knew that her nightmares had calmed down quite a bit, but they were still happening. Reika often pulled me into her nightmares, allowing our presence to calm her down and provide her comf
ENZOToday would end up being the biggest test of my control.We’d worked our asses off to prepare for today, but nothing would’ve prepared me for being in Alpha Bradley’s presence. He’d pay for his sins if it was the very last thing that I made sure of.I still couldn’t wrap my head around how someone could be so fucked up. I’d never be able to forget the things that the survivors detailed that he’d done to them. They had been extremely candid, wanting nothing more than for him to be thrown into a river of lava.It took a little while for the survivors to relax at our house. I knew that the physical comfort level was not all that great, but it was the best that we could currently do. However, they were just thankful to be safe and away from the hell that they’d been living in.We’d gotten a couple of our therapists to come out to the house. I’d been a little surprised at how quickly the survivors took it upon themselves to begin a support that very same night. They’d found understandi
VIOLETNerves were running through me at record speed, building up to an inevitable crescendo.Today was the day that we’d be confronting the Council. So much could go wrong. The unknowns had been weighing heavily upon me. My incredible mate was there to hold me when I did eventually broke down. He never once made me feel weak for my tears but simply helped me to carry the burden while providing me the strength to continue on, reminding me that I wasn’t alone.Mom had helped me master the art of glamouring. It was difficult to hold it at first until Reika and I figured out a way for her power to boost my glamours. Once we got that down, our glamours were solid even if others tried to distract me.Aunt Kaia had sat down with me and sincerely apologized to me, sharing how she was ashamed of what she’d done. While I was still hurt by it all, I couldn’t hold onto that. We weren’t promised tomorrow, so I womaned up and forgave her. Lilac, Niccolò, and Enzo were still a little wary, wanting
VIOLETMom always paused like that when whatever came after would hit harder. That had my insides twisting a bit. I still hadn't thought up a good plan on how to get in front of them. Hopefully, her vision ended up providing a generic overview. She explained every last detail of her vision, not leaving anything out. There was, indeed, enough information to go off of to develop a plan of attack. It was the time frame that hit the hardest. We only had two weeks to get everything in order and face Alpha Bradley. We either succeeded or failed. There was no other outcome. We needed to develop an airtight argument because we'd be needing the Council to essentially turn on two of its members. The Werewolf Council was the highest form of authority in the land. I took a steadying breath and pushed aside my worries. This would work because there was no other option for us. We sat there and discussed the best course of action. It was decided that we'd divide and conquer. Some of us would go d
