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

VIOLET‘You should ask where the bathroom is. Not sure why, but my gift is telling me that it's important,’ Niccolò mindlinked me. I officially joined their pack this morning. Apparently, Alpha Nico had told his sons that he was fine with officially bringing me into the pack after he first met me. It had surprised me that he was so welcoming of a stranger, but it meant a lot to me at the same time.Werewolves were social creatures, and it still ran through my DNA even though I wasn't full-blooded. Apparently, being a part of the pack made us stronger. The helped to keep our inner beasts calmer.It was unclear if I had a wolf counterpart because of the binding on me. We’d only be able to tell once it was broken. Part of me worried that she’d hate me for being bound if I did indeed have one.I was learning a lot about werewolves. It was crazy to think that this was my new reality. The great news was that I could now mindlink anyone who was a part of the pack as long as they were within

VIOLETAfter we all finished eating, Eli and I took the dishes to the kitchen. Alpha Maxwell had insisted that I didn't need to help with them, but I honestly didn't mind. It was a mundane action that felt so normal. Right now, that was what I truly wanted to experience.I rinsed the plates off while Eli loaded them up on the dishwasher. He looked out towards the dining room for a moment before he leaned into my space. His eyes looked troubled, but I had no idea why that was or what caused it.“Please watch your back,” he whispered softly to prevent being overheard. “I don't know what's going on with her, but I saw the way she reacted to you and around you tonight. I love her and all, but I don't trust her. Well, not fully. There's shit that doesn't make any sense. My parents are mates by name only, which is just one thing that never fully made sense. I dunno what to believe, but I do know that you should watch your back.”Hmm. It would appear that Luna Bitch didn't have many fans. No

ENZOWhat in the living fuck just happened?I ripped myself away from Ana, fists flexing in an attempt to keep my instincts calm. Said instincts, and Titan, were demanding her head to be offered up to my tiger on a silver fucking platter because of how this would look. I knew it must have hurt her, which just served to infuriated me even more.“What in the fuck are you playing at?” I demanded to know. She batted her eyelashes and pouted her lips. Goddess, what did I ever see in her?‘A semi-decent fuck. Although, I'm questioning your choices a bit,’ Titan told me, shaking his head. Yeah. I was right there with him. How in the fuck could I have been so desperate to sleep with her? It was no doubt going to make me sound like a complete pig, but there was a lot of pussy out there and not a lack of it being offered up to me from chicks who believed that I'd be the next Alpha or thought they'd get in good with a CEO of a multi-billion-dollar company. “I don't know what you're talking abo

VIOLETI was surrounded in warmth when I woke up, making me feel more relaxed than I’ve ever been before.A heavy weight was slung across my waist, and it took me a moment to realize that I wasn’t alone in this bed. My heart begun thumping away when his scent invaded my nose. No idea what his cologne was, but it smelled absolutely amazing. Fingertips brushed against the bare skin of my waist. My breath hitched at how good it felt. The touch was enough to make my body shiver and desire to flood through me.“Good morning,” his deep voice rasped from behind me.His voice alone was enough to send heat rushing through me. God, I’d never felt anything like this before he came along. It was almost embarrassing how this was the closest that I’d been to someone in this way. I wasn't purposely saving myself for marriage or anything. I just never got close to anyone before. “Morning,” I replied breathlessly.Warm lips caressed my neck until they got to the juncture between my neck and shoulder.

Tangled Secrets – Taming Mr. Vittori Author's Note
To all of my amazing readers,I want to send out my deepest gratitude for all of your support with “Tangled Secrets – Taming Mr. Vittori” as well as my other books that you have supported. I always enjoy reading your comments, suggestions, and views on these stories. It helps to shape the story, one way or another.Violet and Enzo’s journey together had many highs and lows, but they got through it because they had each other. They also had many others to give them strength. It was hard on Violet to go from believing that she was human, and that the supernatural world was just fiction to finding out the truth. However, she handled it well enough.One thing that I love about writing is seeing the characters develop. They begin as a basic design that gets filled in as they explore and experience. I can honestly say that they always end up quite a bit different than the original design was. As such, our main characters turned out much better than I had initially anticipated. That is how li
Tangled Secrets – Taming Mr. Vittori Epilogue 2
ENZO(8 years following Epilogue 1)Time was an interesting thing. It could go by in the blink of an eye or crawl along at a snail’s pace. Many things have changed over the years. Some things were positive, some were negative, and others didn’t necessarily have a direct impact on us.We learned the importance of always making time for our loved ones and ensured that we celebrated the highs while supporting each other through the lows.Dad peeked his head inside of my office, making certain that I was alone. He hurried inside and closed the door behind him, locking it. I chuckled at his antics but knew why he was sneaking around, so I didn’t tease him about it.Today was Ava’s birthday party. It was hard to think that she was now thirteen. It seemed like yesterday when we found her when we stormed the hunter’s guild to rescue Candice and Daphne.My entire world had changed when I held her in my arms for the first time, knowing that there wasn’t a single thing I wouldn’t do for her. She
Tangled Secrets – Taming Mr. Vittori Epilogue 1
VIOLET(5 Years Later)A lot of changes have occurred over the past five years. Some were easier to deal with than others, but all were important in one way or another.I smiled as Enzo walked out of the packhouse with our girls on either side of him. Ava and Lily were completely inseparable and the best of friends. You would never guess that they weren’t biologically related if you weren’t aware of it already. Lily took after Enzo’s Italian roots. It gave her the beautiful skin tone that he had, his eyes, and a curly texture to hair that was a shade between mine and his. They were describing, in detail, a Princess story that they had seen. It didn’t matter if a lot of it went way over his head because he was engaged in the conversation, asking the right questions to keep their excitement high.He was cradling Elio in his arms, doing that bouncing thing that our infant loved. I swore that he was a fearless little man. Elio was now six months old and looked like my replica, which his

ENZOI held my mate closely, refusing to let her out of my embrace after nearly having been shot yet again.Everyone had been shocked when Hilmaya didn’t even hesitate to jump into the bullet’s trajectory without needing to consider her choice.Violet would’ve been able to shield herself from the bullet, but Hilmaya didn’t know that. It wasn’t like she was innocent in all of this shitshow. Whether she committed the acts or not, she did have knowledge about some of Zaxyn’s dealings if not all of them. Therefore, she was also responsible. What would come of that was yet to be seen, but I knew that nobody would let her off scot-free.Hilmaya had put out a message, via the intercom, demanding everyone to stand down. That the Apperson family and anyone on their side was to stop the madness or else they would have nobody to blame but themselves when they were taken down instead.Then she released another message, which was blasted on speakers that were outside where the other fights were occ

DAPHNEEli and I headed back to the estate after getting the male, female, and child situated at the packhouse with some of the other Fae who hadn’t joined in the fight. It made me happy to know that they would be safe and wouldn’t have to live in fear any longer. They would be able to choose what their future looked like.Max had already said that the pack would accept any innocents who had nowhere else to go as long as they would abide by the pack’s rules.One thing that I loved about him was how much he cared about everyone. Pack members and non-pack members alike. He was an honorable Alpha who would do everything in his power to ensure that those who needed protection would receive it one way or another. Likewise, he also did everything in his power to ensure that those under his protection had every opportunity to live freely, making their life into what they wanted it to be like.Just like he had embraced all of the new pack members, he did so for me without hesitation. He treate
Tangled Secrets – Taming Mr. Vittori Chapter 106
ENZOI wasn’t surprised at all that Zaxyn was a true piece scum. He apparently thought that his shit didn’t stink, but it did. He reeked of desperation, of the need to control everything so that he could maintain his position as evil douche of the century.Something that should be noted was that he couldn’t stand on his own. He hid behind others, allowing them to take all of the risks while he reveled in all of the rewards. He had power because of those he had under his control. It wasn’t true power.I barely bit back the snarl that wanted to be hurled at him when he called my mate an unclean bitch. Nah. He wouldn’t be shown an emotional response. Emotional control was imperative during battle. Losing control of our emotions could be what got us, or our people, killed.Once the electricity was cut, we sprang into action.Violet and Candice went after Zaxyn. He teleported away like the fucking coward that he was, but the two followed right after him. For a brief moment, my heart squeeze
Tangled Secrets – Taming Mr. Vittori Chapter 105
CANDICEA part of me had worried that I wouldn’t live long enough to see justice being served to the shitty part of my biological family for every horrible thing that they’d done and every person that they had a hand in hurting.My visions showed me that it would happen but not how long it would take to occur. It took a very long time, but it was finally here. There was something very freeing and empowering about that. It also seemed fitting that it’d be me, Kaia, and our children who would be coming for them.Our offspring were complete badasses and had incredible power at their fingertips but also had remarkable control over it. Even Daph did. She wasn’t quite on par with Vi or Lilac, but that was simply because she was relatively new to wielding her magic whereas the other two had much more practice. It didn’t mean that she was slouching or anything though.I was incredibly proud of my daughters and beyond grateful that I was blessed enough to be their mother.There was one positive
Tangled Secrets – Taming Mr. Vittori Chapter 104
VIOLETTwo days was barely a blink of an eye, but it was all the time that we had to prepare for ‘The Takedown’ as Eli had dubbed it.The Appersons held power. There was no denying that fact. However, that didn’t mean that we lacked our own power. The difference was that our power was pure and untainted.Mom called in some favors. She had made many allies over the years by being a badass superwoman who never hesitated to lend a helping hand and protect anyone who truly needed it. She had done it all from the shadows to remain hidden from the Appersons.We had eighty Fae on our side, a hundred and ten werewolves, a phoenix, fifteen vampires, and twenty-one witches. We could've had more werewolves, but we didn't want to leave the packs vulnerable. Yes, you saw right. Vampires. I wasn't sure why I was surprised when I met Victor and his coven members. Everything that I had once thought of to be fiction was anything but. Talk about mind-blowing. I loved getting the rundown of that partic

CANDICEMy mind ran through all of the potential possibilities of what Violet’s vision might have entailed.She called me an hour ago and told me that she had a vision about Zaxyn and needed to have a meeting with all of us. Whatever she had seen was enough to shake her. I could hear it in her voice as she spoke.“Can you get Daph so that we can head downstairs,” I asked Eli.“Sure thing, Mom,” he said before freezing, cheeks pinkening with a blush.I could tell that it hadn’t been intention and just slipped out. Honestly, it made my heart swell to think that there was a part of him that saw me as a mother figure. He had accepted me immediately and had mentioned how happy he was about the bond between Max and me.Embarrassment and hope warred inside of him for dominance – embarrassment because of his slip, and hope because he secretly wanted me to be okay with it. Layla had done the basics to appear as though she loved him, but it was clear that love wasn’t the case once she sent peopl
