ENZO

I’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.

    ENZOIt was taking every ounce of restraint that I had to keep myself focused on the task at hand instead of slipping back into the memory of this morning.Everything felt right and perfect, waking up with her in my arms. Perhaps I could convince her to let it happen again.Niccolò gave me shit when I walked out of her room, but I couldn’t find it in me to care. Nah, I was flying high instead.Dad had been pissed when we told him everything that Ana admitted to last night. He assured me that she would be taken care of. It was pure and simple treason.I appreciated how much my family had taken to Violet and how protective they were of her. The fact that Ana admitted that she would pay someone to kill her was just one nail in the bitch’s coffin. Another nail was the fact that she’d be willing to drug me to create an unwanted and forced bond.We made our way upstairs once we got to Vittori Enterprises. Marco was planning on staying downstairs to wait for Alpha Maxwell’s arrival before joi

    MAXWELLSilence enveloped the car, the both of us stuck in our own thoughts.I’d woken up this morning with the feeling that the meeting would change things, but I never thought things would change as much as they did.Everything that I’d known was a lie. Every single fucking thing. It felt like my head was bound to implode with the truths that blew my world open wide. The grenade had been thrown, and the fallout was immense.Thorn and I were both berating ourselves for falling for her tricks. We should’ve known that something was wrong. There were signs that we chose to ignore. No truly fated mates had the connection, or lack thereof, that we did. Goddess. How could we have been so stupid?Nineteen years. NINETEEN YEARS of lies and deception…I was a failure as an Alpha, a man, a father, and a person. While Candice brought Violet into this world alone, I was playing house with the same bitch who would turn her over to the hunters. Two years. Candice had been with them for two damn yea

    ELII’d been in shock when Dad told me about Violet’s existence. I always wanted siblings but knew that it wasn’t in the cards because my parents were mates only by name. They attempted to keep their bullshit from being noticed, but it was sort of an impossible task.To be honest, I was thrilled when I heard that I had a sister. It didn’t matter if she was a stranger because she was one of us.Knowing that she’d be coming for dinner had made me very nervous because I wanted it to be a positive experience for her. I also didn’t know if she would resent me because I grew up with Dad when she didn’t. Thankfully, we got along really well.It destroyed me to know that Mom had a hand in the suffering that Violet’s family went through. The depths of her betrayal went beyond that though. She spent nineteen years faking a mate-bond with Dad just to use her position to gain access to this pack. She destroyed his relationship with Candice, leaving the woman to raise my sister on her own. Then she

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.

    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 th

    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 ge

    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.

    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

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.
