Feel free to drop a gem, like, or comment, letting me know what you think so far.
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
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.
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
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 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
