Up next, Enzo uncovers some truths about Violet's past.
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
ENZOI’d give her props, Violet acted as if there was nothing out of the ordinary. Not even her heartbeat gave her away, seeing as it was completely calm.Alpha Maxwell, however, was not as controlled. He looked halfway between passing out and throwing up. I wasn’t certain he’d ever found himself in this position before, but he was here right now.He cleared his throat and thanked her for the coffee, his eyes never once leaving her.‘Well, this is getting awkward. Should be toss him a bone or squeaky toy perhaps?’ Niccolò asked me.She made it to the door before the Alpha finally spoke up. “What’s your name, Miss?”Violet turned around, showing no surprise at the question. She held her head high without a single trace of stress. Her eyes surveyed him, cataloguing the similarities.I couldn’t even begin to imagine what it was like for her right now that her sperm donor sat in front of her after nineteen years of his absence.“Violet. If you’re asking for my full name then it’s Violet Ma
VIOLETI wasn’t certain what I’d been expecting when it came to this meeting. I’d attempted to prepare myself for anything he could possibly say, but no amount of pep talks could make a true difference.It was so damn surreal to be in front of him. I’d honestly never thought a time would come when I’d meet my sperm donor and would just be a hidden wonder of the world type deal. However, it was also surreal because I could tell that he was a good guy and truly didn’t know that I existed.I had begun being schooled in werewolves 101, seeing as how I needed to know everything that I could about that half of myself. It was something that I was honestly still wrapping my head around. Mates was one such topic, especially so that I could understand what it meant about him having a mate and Luna.Mates, or soulmates, were paired together by the Moon Goddess. They were meant to be each other’s completions. It was a truly beautiful concept. It was believed that everyone had a fated mate out ther
VIOLET“Violet,” a whisper in the breeze called out to me again.I looked around, trying to locate the voice, but all I saw was darkness. No matter how hard I tried to fight against the darkness, it felt like I was stuck in it and unable to move. Helpless was exactly what it made me feel, something that I sincerely loathed.“Picture whatever is your light and your happiness,” it encouraged me.The voice sounded hauntingly familiar, but I couldn’t quite place it. I shook my head, trying to dispel the confusion for now and focus on following its direction.My light and happiness. Daphne. That was precisely what she was to me. No matter how fucked up my day might’ve been, she would always be the only thing that could help to soothe my soul. I thought about how her laughter could bring a smile to my face even if I was in the middle of a breakdown or how much love her heart contained.The darkness was slowly burned away with my thoughts. I was standing in our old house, the one from when I
ENZOI’d just gotten out of the shower when I heard a soft knock on my door.It was seven in the morning, but I’d been awake since a little after four and had already let Titan loose for a run. I stayed here last night, knowing that we’d be leaving to go into the lion’s den. It’d give us more time to prepare if I was already here. At least, that was what I told myself.I wrapped a towel around my waist and opened up the door, revealing none other than Violet who also looked like she’d just gotten out of the shower. Fucking hell. She was gorgeous. That outfit highlighted a body that could drive any man crazy.Her lips parted slightly when she saw that I was in nothing but a towel. That little heart in her chest started beating harder. She attempted to keep her eyes in the safe zone, but they traced my chest, muscles, and tattoos.She needed to really stop looking at me like that unless she wanted to see how hard she could make me. I desperately needed a metaphorical ice bucket right abo
ENZOI was flying high right now. I'd imagined kissing Violet a thousand times, but the reality was by more incredible than I could've imagined. I knew that it'd be just a matter of time before my restraint snapped when it came to the attraction that I felt for her. Her entire life had been upended, so I didn't want to risk giving her any more stress on top of everything else that she was forced to deal with. She'd kept up a good poker face this entire time because I hadn't realized that I consumed her mind just like she had been consuming mine. That kiss was the best fucking kiss of my entire life. It wasn't an exaggeration either. I have had my fair share of women. I was neither a saint nor a prude. She tasted so damn sweet. Never had I experienced a kiss that was so explosive. It lit every cell in my body aflame with need. I couldn't imagine what making love to her would be like if that was my reaction to a mere kiss. Once Niccolò and our parents were up and about, I filled them
ENZOIt only took our teams two hours to have the plantation completely secured. Alpha Bradley’s people were apprehended, and all electronics were collected.Bella turned out to be the only decent person, so she came with us to the house while the rest were taken to the black site. Luckily, it had a hundred occupant capacity but could hold more if need be. There were two other black sites as well, which were housing the hunters. The Sentinels and those involved with the Layla fiasco were also located at the site where Alpha Bradley now was.The house was buzzing by the time that we got back to it. Everyone seemed to be waiting around for us as seen by the fact that all of the activity stopped when we appeared there. Then everyone gathered around. Nervous energy hung heavily in the air, the atmosphere thick and tense.It would be weird once the house was cleared out. There was no reason why they had to remain here. With Alpha Bradley locked away, everyone would be safe enough. The packs
ZAXYNI walked along the hallway of the estate that had belonged to my family for the past five generations. It was when our family came to the New World.We were originally from Macedonia but came here when settlers were colonizing this land. Other Fae already lived here, and had for centuries, so our people had easily integrated with them. It was not long before our family gained power and prestige. Our people had always enjoyed being at the top, which was precisely where we were created to be.Luckily for us, Fae didn’t have a ruling class. There were Fae clans that most families belonged to. The clan’s leaders, the Patriarch and Matriarch, were responsible for how it was run. There were some families who didn’t belong to a clan for whatever reason. Our family didn’t belong to a clan and never would. We were more powerful than most clans could ever wish to be. It was the reason that many clans wished for us to join them. Ha. We wouldn’t do that even if Hell froze over and pigs grew
VIOLETI was still reeling at the fact that we’d finally got him under our control. We’d finally put a stop to a great evil because that was precisely what he was – evil.See, there were levels of fuckery. The lower level was a bully, someone who tried to control others by hurting and taunting them. That type of behavior worsened as the levels climbed up higher, progressively getting worse. There were those who thrived in the destruction of others, such as the hunters. Then you had evil little shits that would laugh gleefully as the world burned around them as long as they remained afterwards. Alpha Bradley had a permanent seat between Hitler and Stalin.We weren’t taking any risks. I had Bella and her daughter stay with Seraphina because I knew that she’d be safe while we got the bastard secured in his own cell at the black site. I was certain that it was far more secured than nearly anywhere else. They spared no expense in creating and maintaining it. Nobody would find him, and he ce
ENZODamn that fucker for howling, alerting everyone to our presence. We’d be damned if we allowed Alpha Bradley to escape this time. Nope, we’d get our hands on him one way or another. He was like a damn cockroach, always surviving whatever situation was thrown at him and was slippery like a damn snake as he escaped each one.My senses, as well as Titan’s, were being pushed to their limits, not wanting to succumb to the potential danger all around us. We were also looking for any sign of Alpha Bradley.Thankfully, Sven was able to get us the blueprints for the place. There was no telling if the plantation had been updated at all, so we weren’t banking on everything being the same. We’d do our best to adapt to the circumstances as we went.The howl brought others outside. A couple of them shifted and came straight for us without skipping a beat, believing that they had the upper hand because wolf versus human often times ended with the wolf being the victor. They, however, hadn’t met m
VIOLETSven came through for us once again, but I wasn’t surprised. He truly had a gift and could accomplish things that seemed like impossible tasks. It seemed that the word impossible wasn’t in his vocabulary at all.Alpha Bradley appeared to be hanging out at an old-school plantation. It hadn’t been modernized, so there weren’t any security feeds to break into. That’d just make it too easy. Sven was, however, able to locate the blueprints. This way, we weren’t flying blind.Daph and Eli were remaining behind to watch over everyone at the house. She wasn’t too ecstatic about that idea, but she was okay with it once Eli mentioned that Ava and everyone else needed people that would be able to protect them if the worst came to pass.There was no way in hell that Max was going to stay behind this time. He and Thorn were bloodthirsty, wanting to make Alpha Bradley pay for everything that he was responsible for and had a hand in.We had approximately two hundred people coming with us. Was
ALPHA BRADLEYI opened my eyes and roared, grabbing the nearest object to me and throwing it across the room. The lamp shattered, glass flying everywhere.HOW FUCKING DARE THAT PHOENIX BITCH INTERVENE!I was close, so fucking close to getting what I wanted. Every attempt at locating any of the prisoners failed. Every fucking attempt at locating my golden bitch had also failed. How could hundreds of people go missing like that? How was that even possible?Without having my position at the Council behind me, I’ve had to get creative about my pursuits. Sure, I still had a multitude of people that were under my command, but I couldn’t just wave my name around to get shit done. Nope. The bitch made sure that the Council turned their backs on me and labeled me as a traitor. The public now knew about me and Corey forsaking our positions at the Council. It pissed me the fuck off because it’d make it nearly impossible for me to follow through with my original plan of making the Council take the
ENZOI woke up with my arms wrapped around my mate. Her ass was firmly pressed up against my hard-on. I bit back a groan at how good the sparks felt on my cock. Oh, it was waking up alright.One arm was slung across her waist. The opposite hand was covering her tit. Sleeping naked had its own advantages, and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. I looked at the clock and realized that we had thirty minutes before the alarm went off. It was odd to have an uninterrupted night since Ava was with her aunt. We certainly took advantage of it until the early hours of the morning. Fucking hell. My draw to her just increased as time went on. I constantly craved her, thought about her, and wanted her. It had been amazing to watch her transformation into the Violet that she was today. The strong, fierce, confident, and loving woman who was a force of fucking nature. I carefully lifted her leg, settling it on top of mine and opening her up to me. My mate was still fast asleep, but she was about to get
VIOLETI smiled as I looked around at the tables where everyone was eating dinner. Despite there not being tons of room for those we rescued from the hunters, they never once complained. They were just thankful to be somewhere safe. Also, they understood it wasn't safe for them to leave until Alpha Bradley was caught.There were many people who had nowhere to go and were taken aback by the offer to join the pack when the time came. At first, they felt like they wouldn’t belong there because many of them weren’t werewolves, but they felt more at ease with the idea of pack life when they learned about how diverse the pack was. Some of the pack’s previous hunter survivors that could be trusted to not disclose anything about what was going on here at the house had come over and spent plenty of time getting to know everyone and answered many questions about the pack.It was amazing to witness their healing journeys. Some people had faced far more trauma at the hunters' hands, but everyone
ELI It wasn't long ago when Dad sat me down and told me that I had a sister named Violet. Siblings was something that I’d always wanted but knew that it wouldn't happen. Not with the weird relationship that my parents had. Honestly, I was surprised that they even had me. I grew excited as he told me about her. It had been a while since he'd smiled that happy smile of his, the one that was unburdened by the pressures of the pack and everyday responsibilities. It still shocked me whenever I thought about everything that Layla had done. Yes, we were permanently on a first name basis because she didn't deserve the title of mother any longer. I was disgusted to know that I came from someone so completely evil. I didn't want to consider how I would've turned out if I hadn't been raised by Dad. He taught me all about the type of person and Alpha that I wanted to be. He showed me that having compassion for someone didn't make it a weakness. It was all about utilizing it in the right way. L
