VIOLETWithout hesitation, Daisy whisked us back to school. We reappeared in the forest around the academy, and after regaining my balance, I immediately took off in a sprint toward the principal’s office. If Alpha Richard had already started reviewing the surveillance footage, we were in deep trouble. As I burst into the office, slightly breathless, my gaze darted around the room in search of my father. There he was, seated on the couch in one corner, his legs crossed and a deep frown etched onto his face. “Father,” I said breathlessly. “When did you arrive?” “Violet, dear,” he said, the frown on his face slowly disappearing. “Where have you been? I have looked everywhere for you, but you were nowhere to be found.” “I was...” I scratched my scalp. “I was in the woods, running.” His eyes narrowed. “Have you shifted yet?” “No. I—uh—” I scratched my scalp again, thinking of what to say. “I have been stressed, so I went to clear my mind.” “Is it about Abel?” he questioned,
AXELThe pain that shot through my body at the sight before me was almost unbearable. My chest tightened, and every muscle in my body weakened. She had lied to me. She had deceived me. Even her father knew about her relationship with Emmett. I clenched my fists, struggling to suppress the overwhelming urge to storm over there and rip Emmett apart for touching my mate. But that would have been pathetic. She had chosen him. He wasn’t forcing himself on her. She had made her decision. I turned around and walked away from there as fast as I could before every ounce of restraint I was holding snapped. My phone started ringing, and I checked the screen to see that it was my father calling back. I had called him earlier, but he hadn’t picked up. “Alpha King,” I groaned into the phone, barely able to contain my rage. “Is this a transfer of aggression, or what?” His voice was laced with amusement. “Who pissed you off?” I sighed heavily to control the rage within me. “I’m sorry.
“Starlette!” My father’s thunderous voice growled, jolting me awake.Fear gripped me by the throat as I sat up, wondering what I had done again. My father hated me; that was a known fact. He believed I was the cause of my mother’s death since she died giving birth to me. And to add more salt to the injury, I turned out to be an Omega, which made him hate me even more.My sisters, Maeve and Sabrina, didn’t treat me any better. They bullied and taunted me for a living, making me wake up every day wishing it was my last.I hated my life!“You useless bitch. Get up!” He growled again.My eyes still heavy with sleep, I scampered out of bed and stood before him, cowering.“Yes, father.” My lips trembled, fearing what he might do to me with the blazing rage flickering beneath his eyes.Perhaps lock me up. Or hit me?I didn’t even know what I had done.“How many times have I told you that I am not your father?!” He bellowed, taking an intimidating step forward.I recoiled, picking my finger
The Alpha King was my mate!The best thing that had ever happened to me in my twenty years of life. The moon goddess didn’t hate me after all.The mate bond was as they said. So beautiful, pure, and extremely strong. I felt like I was being pulled by a magnetic force, and all I wanted to do was bury myself in his arms. The Alpha King’s arms.I had been dreaming of a day like this to come—a day I'd finally be free from the loneliness and misery I was enveloped in. The day I’ll find someone who’ll love, cherish, and protect me at all costs. The day I’ll find my mate.And he wasn’t just anyone. He was Alpha King Maximus. King of the seven kingdoms in the north. Aren’t I just the luckiest?“An Omega?!” His voice echoed through the hallway, and the disappointment laced in his voice was palpable. “The moon goddess has got to be kidding me.”Before the bat of an eye, he was already next to me, his large palm seizing my neck and pushing me violently to the wall. I struggled to breathe, gaspin
Realizing that I was doomed and had nowhere to run to again, I transformed into my humanoid form, fearing what would happen to me next.Alpha Maximus also effortlessly transformed into his humanoid form, revealing a sturdy physique sculpted with powerful muscles. His broad shoulders and defined chest exuded strength, while a trim waist accentuated his masculine allure.His manhood, oh my.My eyes roamed his body, ogling at his incredibly sexy masculine form.He towered at an impressive height of about 6’5”, his luscious caramel brown hair cascading in loose waves. His chiselled face was adorned with neatly grown beards. His piercing blue eyes effortlessly swept me off my feet.For a moment, the Alpha King was lost in the daze of staring at me in return, but quickly collected himself, his signature frown masking his features again.“Alpha.” The beta’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.That was when it occurred to me that I was naked, and I quickly covered my breasts with one hand and
MAXIMUS.I lost complete control. My wolf surfaced, and all I knew was that I had to protect her at all costs. It was certain that I was being punished for all my past sins, because how could an Omega be my mate?Firstly, the soothsayer prophesied that she—Starlette—was the only one who could give me an heir. Secondly, she turned out to be my mate. Double punishments.I would have sent her back if she wasn’t the only one capable of bearing pups for me.After all, a king needs an heir.Let’s just hope the damned Omega’s gene doesn’t dominate my Alpha genes.“Mate?!” Lauren exclaimed, her eyes flickering with a combination of surprise, contempt, and jealousy.Now I have a lot of explaining to do to my woman. Lauren and I had been lovers since we were teens. She was a beta and would make a perfect Luna. I could never leave her for an Omega.“Let’s take this somewhere else.” I exhaled sharply. I didn't want to have that conversation in front of the pack members.“No, I–” She began, but I
STARLETTE.I leaned against the door as I watched them continue to make out. I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t. I watched them, and I couldn’t help but desperately wish that I was the one my mate was kissing.As he cupped her breast and kneaded it over her shirt, images of it being my breast that was being smooched flashed over my head, and a soft moan escaped my lips.I placed my hand on my boobs and began to subconsciously rub over them.Alpha Maximus turned to look at me, and I quickly yanked my hand off my breast, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. He could smell my arousal. I was sure of it.He promptly looked away and continued doing things with Lauren—things he was supposed to be doing with me.What was wrong with me? I mentally scolded myself. I was supposed to be disgusted, but here I was, getting wet. My wolf, on the other hand, was displeased with what was playing out before us and was furiously howling in pain.“Ahh, I love it.” Lauren moaned. She looked at me over
“Good morning, sleeping beauty.” Bella’s voice beamed, jolting me awake. I slowly opened my eyes to see her opening the blinds, and I quickly shut my eyes as the rays of sunshine hit them. Turning to the other side, I opened my eyes again. I looked around the room, hoping to see Maximus, but he wasn’t in sight, and that left me wondering where he went. I didn’t even think he returned yesterday night. I was awake for a long time, waiting for him to return and thinking about the things he did to me before sleep swept me away. I wondered why he touched me, arousing me, and then suddenly stormed out of the room afterwards. Did I do something wrong? Or could it be part of his torture scheme?Bella abruptly yanked the blanket off my body. “Wake up, Miss. It’s time for breakfast.”“I’m awake.” I sighed as I lazily sat up. “Have you seen him this morning?” I asked Bella. I didn’t need to mention his name for her to know who I was talking about. “No, I haven’t.” She replied before turning

VIOLETAfter failing to gather useful information in the south, we decided to move our search to the east. However, the east proved to be even more frustrating than the last location. The people here weren’t just uncooperative; they outright refused to engage with us. Their expressions were cold, their attitudes distant, and they seemed to carry an air of resentment. "Now I see where Emily gets her attitude from. This entire place is full of sadists," Mason joked, and everyone burst out laughing. “What do we do now? We aren’t getting any answers,” I sighed, frustrated. Just then, my phone started ringing, and I looked at the screen to see that it was an unknown number calling. My brows furrowed as I wondered who it could be. “Who is calling?” Axel asked. “I don’t know,” I responded before picking up the call. “Oh, thank goodness, Violet. Your number has not been reachable,” a familiar voice sounded from the other end of the line. “Emmett?” I asked to confirm. “Yes, it’
VIOLET All five of us formed a circle, holding hands as we watched Daisy perform a spell. Suddenly, the world around us began to spin, and before I could make sense of what was happening, darkness engulfed me. Then, just as abruptly, a blinding light hit my eyes. Disoriented, I struggled to keep my balance as dizziness took over. “Where the fuck are we?!” Indie exclaimed. Only then did I realize that the other four were around me and just as confused as I was. Well, everyone except Daisy. I blinked, scanning my surroundings. And then it hit me. I recognized this place. How could I not? This was where I had grown up. “Daisy, where are we?” Mason asked again. “The South. My pack,” I replied for her. “I figured teleporting us here would be much easier than going through the long journey,” Daisy explained, looking around. “So, where do we start? Do we even have details on the people who were kidnapped?” “Yes. There are two missing girls in the south, namely Sophia and Mi
VIOLET The first step was to head to the library and find anything we could on wolf hunters. I vaguely remembered seeing a book about them before, but at the time, I had only skimmed through it since I wasn’t particularly interested. Now, however, the situation had changed, and I regretted not paying closer attention. Hours passed as we flipped through countless pages, searching for even the smallest clue. Despite all our effort, we couldn’t find any information explaining why young she-wolves were the only targets. Many years ago, when wolf hunters were last active, they didn’t discriminate. They captured anyone they could—male or female, young or old, high-ranking or rogue. Then why was this different? Why were only young she-wolves disappearing now? As I absentmindedly turned the pages of another book, a thought crossed my mind. I glanced at Axel and shared it with him. “The girls have all been cloaked, right?” I asked. He nodded. “That was what my dad said.”
AXELI couldn’t believe we were actually doing this. When I was resuming school today, the last thing I expected was to have my first shift—and with my mate, no less. “Okay. Let’s do this,” I said nervously, rubbing my palms together. She swallowed. “Uhm… can I ask you a question first?” “Yes?” “The girl I’ve been seeing you with—who is she to you?” “What girl?” I asked, my eyes narrowing. “Indie?” I guessed, since she was the only girl I ever hung out with. “Yes, I guess that’s her name.” I couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Who did she think Indie was to me? She frowned. “What’s funny?” “Indie is my adoptive sister. We grew up together,” I told her, still chuckling. “But I thought… you made it seem like…” “There’s nothing like that between us,” I interrupted. “So, shall we?” She nodded. Just as I grabbed the hem of my shirt to pull it off, my phone started ringing. I was going to ignore it when Violet said, “You should pick it up. It might be important.”
VIOLETIt was funny how I was about to go on a date with the prince of a kingdom that had nearly gone to war with mine. I knew I should have pushed him away, but deep down, I didn’t want to. I wanted him. I wanted this. Daisy wouldn’t stop teasing me the moment I told her about the date. Choosing what to wear was an extreme sport. My wardrobe was full of clothes, yet nothing seemed right. The entire room was a disaster, littered with the multitude of outfits I had tried on and discarded. “It’s almost time, Violet. You need to pick something already,” Daisy said, exasperated. She had spent the last hour helping me select an outfit, only for me to reject every single one. It was clear she was growing tired of my indecisiveness. “I don’t know what to wear!” I groaned, burying my face in my hands. “Well then, should I tell Axel to get a dress for his mate?” she teased, smirking as she prepared to mind-link him. “Snap out of it. No!” I shouted. Daisy laughed but dropped the i
VIOLETWhen I heard about the tensions between the north and the south, fear gripped me. But it turned out that the north had gone to the south in search of a missing girl but peacefully left when they weren’t granted access to the kingdom. Anyway, Axel’s two-week suspension ended yesterday, and he was to return today. For some reason, I was nervous about his resumption. As much as I was still upset with him over what he had said about me, I couldn’t shake the guilt of knowing he had been suspended because of me while I had gone unpunished. “Onyx,” I called on my wolf. “How do we apologize to Axel?” “Get him flowers,” she responded. I laughed at her ridiculous response. “Please be serious.” “I am serious. Get him flowers,” she said again, and this time, I could tell she wasn’t joking. “No way!” I exclaimed. “He would get the wrong idea.” “Do you want to apologize or not?” she countered. “I want to,” I admitted quietly. “Then get him flowers,” she said before retreati
AXELOutside the southern borders stood only a few of the northern soldiers—the Silver Crest soldiers, to be precise. The southern soldiers stood guard at their borders, ready to protect their kingdom. Our numbers were no match for theirs. But we weren’t there for war. We were stopped from going into the south, and Father commanded the soldiers not to resist. He then requested to see the southern Alpha King—Silas. We waited nearly two hours before Alpha Silas finally appeared, a heavy crown resting on his head. I couldn’t help but wonder if it wasn’t too burdensome for him. My father almost never wore his own crown because of how heavy it was. “Has the northern king finally come to submit himself to me?” Silas asked, standing in the midst of his warriors. “You wish!” the northern king spat. “Then have you come for your death? It’s long overdue,” Silas sneered. “My reason for being here is simple. A girl in my pack went missing, and she was spotted here. Once we have her, we’
