VIOLET

Gruff voice guy was a drop-dead sexy specimen of a male. So much so that it had temporarily caught me off-guard. Somehow, I had been able to hold an icy glare instead of drooling like an idiot.

Things went downhill when other people showed up. I felt trapped, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to take them all on. Again, I had found myself wishing that the explosion bullshit would work on cue. Everything happened quickly but ended up with me agreeing to a talk. He did say that I could keep the letter opener, so I held onto it tightly.

I smiled inwardly at the fact that I actually got a wound in on him. While it might not seem like a big accomplishment, seeing as it was just a superficial wound, it was a big deal for me. I was awfully proud of that fact. It felt great to fight back. I had no doubt that he could’ve mopped the floor with me, but he was just focused on evading my crappy moves.

“Right in here, spitfire,” Niccolò said, holding the door open for me.

I bared my teeth at hi

Here you go, lovelies. The wolf is out of the bag next during part two of the talk.

    VIOLETHere went nothing…“You know how Yoda can use the Force? Well, that’s kind of what happened. Never had it happened before until the confrontation with my boss and then the one with Ron.”They didn’t seem to be freaking out or scoffing at the absurdity of it all. No, they looked intrigued. Did they actually believe me even without witnessing it?“Go on,” Niccolò encouraged me.Fuck it. I was just going to rip the Band-Aid off and tell them what Ron said and did. It’d be on them to decide whether or not they believed me.I told them what he had said about Mom and me. Enzo’s jaw clenched when I explained about him selling me off to the assholes. Niccolò smirked when he heard that I eluded them by sneaking out through my window. Yeah, I was proud of that bit too. Then I finished off with getting tossed into the SUV.It was silent for a couple of minutes while they took everything in. I saw their eyes go unfocused at the same time. It didn’t last longer than a minute, but it was real

    VIOLETMy mind was officially blown wide open with the revelations that were shared with me.Looking outside gave me confirmation of the truth. I watched as a woman literally transformed into a wolf. There was absolutely denying it after witnessing that. I had told him to prove it because I truly thought that they were just messing around with me.I was a huge fan of books with supernatural origins. Fiction. That was its classification. It was amusing that werewolf fiction was my favorite genre to read. There were numerous times when I wished that worlds found amongst the turning pages were real.I almost wanted to laugh because of the direction that this discussion took.Nerves had taken a hold of me before we even began because I knew that our discussion would end in one of two ways. They’d either believe me or not. Therefore, they’d either help me or kick my ass to the curb. There had been no telling which one they’d choose, but I was thankful that they decided on the former option.

    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

    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 sho

    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 com

    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

    VIOLETI hadn't really thought that much about being a mother until Enzo came along. That was when I began dreaming about what it'd be like to have Enzo's pups. Ava might not be biologically ours but was ours, nonetheless. How she was brought into our lives was completely surreal. Perhaps Mom would know something about her birth mother. I hoped that she was watching over her daughter and could rest, knowing that we'd take care of her. She was positively a beautiful pup and so damn precious. I was overwhelmed when I looked at my mate. I could've lost him tonight. It was a necessary mission that we had to do, but any number of things could've gone wrong. My eyes stung as reality washed over me. On the other hand, the outcome was a miracle in and of itself. I had to believe that we had some divine intervention going on. “None of that, Amore Mio. The what-ifs don't deserve to live rent-free in your mind. Instead of that, think about the incredible things that we accomplished and all of

    CANDICE“C’mon, let’s give the new family some peace,” I said with a smile, happy to see how much they already loved the little one.We gave hugs and kisses before leaving the room.“Hey, Daph, why don’t you go check on the food preparations? Perhaps Eli wouldn’t mind helping,” I suggested, looking at him.He immediately nodded, saying that he didn’t mind in the least. I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself from grinning. Eli was a good kid, so I had no worries when it came to him being around Daph.His response perked her right up. She looped her arm around his and damn near pulled him. She was already asking him questions about himself. Daph had this magnetic personality, one that could pull anyone into her orbit. Even the crankiest of people weren’t immune to her special brand of charm.An arm wrapped around my waist, sending a flurry of delicious sparks wherever our skin touched. I hadn’t expected for us to be fated to one another. I had no idea why we didn’t have this bond be

    ALPHA BRADLEYThe ringing of a phone jolted me awake. I looked at the clock and was immediately pissed the fuck off. It was five in the morning. Whoever was calling had a death wish.“What?” I snarled into the phone.“Alpha, there’s a…situation…” Taylor’s voice trailed off.His vagueness pissed me off further. Sentinel or not, he knew better than to waste my time. The world had better be burning or else his body would be. “What type of fucking situation?” I asked, throwing the blanket off of me and standing up.Whatever happened had better be important or else I’d just have to snap his neck and be done with it. I didn't have the time, patience, or desire to deal with incompetence. I walked over to my closet and slipped on a pair of sweatpants but left my chest bare. I lived alone in my house on the Council’s grounds. My ‘mate’ died years ago. She was just a means to an end so that it wouldn't appear odd for me to live alone and without a mate like some of the others had. “The guild

    ENZOTitan and I were already compiling a list of things that we needed to get for Avalynn. A small part of me wondered who the biological sperm donor was. If the mother had been one of the breeders then there was no telling for certain.I knew that she was a pup, but I wondered if she was a hybrid or a full werewolf. We needed to know just so that we'd be able to give her the best possible care. It didn't matter outside of that. Hybrid infants often had specific needs based on their genetics. Breast milk helped to provide for those needs, but it was obviously not something that we could do with her.‘Reika said that she and Violet are okay with us running a DNA profile on her like we did on them. They want to know too,’ Titan told me.Well, that was good to know. Now, I wouldn't have to wait to ask. I made my way downstairs and told Dr. Sutton what we wanted done. The good news was that some blood had already been drawn earlier, so Avalynn wouldn't need to be poked again. The results
