VIOLET’S POVI stared toward the source of the commotion, only to be shocked by the sight of the very people I wanted nothing more than to hide from. Someone had tripped all because he was attempting the challenge of staring and walking at the same time. I winced, already wishing for the ground to open up and swallow me.All eyes, including mine, were on them, and as much as I hated to admit it, I couldn’t deny that they looked extremely dashing, all three of them. Butterflies took flight in my stomach and a blush crept onto my face.Don’t look, don’t feel. I scolded myself.Men and women flocked around them, everyone eager for a bit of a conversation with them. Tracy was right about the commanding aura that the three Alphas were radiating, holding the most power in the room.And from how some of the conversations were going, I got to understand what their names were pretty quickly.Adrian had apparently been the first of the three I met. He was the black haired stranger that indirect
SAM’S POVI was seething in rage because of the humiliation Violet caused me. I’d barely met her a day ago, and already, she was not only getting on my damn nerves, but also getting my anger to a point of no return.At least she was alive, and tonight, she looked better, more beautiful than I had ever seen her – admittedly, I didn’t give her the chance to wear something as nice as what she had on – but goddess, did she look absolutely stunning.My wolf yearned for her, feeling a deep need for her. Even though I despised her, I wanted her. Despite having rejected her, now I craved her.And as she stood talking to those men, I gritted my teeth to stop myself from causing a scene. How dare she entertain other men in front of me? And what was that about her being a good fighter and warrior?She was still weak to me, and the only reason she was able to land hits on me was because she took me by surprise- just like I was about to do to her.I made up an excuse to use the bathroom and left D
VIOLET’S POVMy eyes were open for most of the night as it dragged on, and I couldn’t wait for the sun to wake and rise along with the world.My mind played clips from all that transpired during the games and banquet, like it was on a repeat. Sometimes, I found myself smiling at a thought; the thought of course, involving the triplets, and other times, when Sam’s face came to view, anger would be the only emotion I would feel.And in that moment, I found myself creating more scenarios where he would be at my mercy, and the damage I would cause would be far more humiliating than the one he actually got.I wanted him to pay for hiding the truth and running a lie that ruined my life for eight years. I wanted to see him suffer and I would only hear about it but not be in the picture.I rolled off my bed, eyes holding exhaustion that should have gotten the bliss that was sleep and a break from a mind that was running – both never a good combination – and I sat watching the window.For a mo
VIOLET’S POVAlpha John stared me down with an expression that dared me to speak against his decision, but I couldn’t even look at him much less say something.I nodded my head, eyes meeting Felix's one more time before I walked out of the office, making sure to slam the door on my way out.I was heart broken, devastated and furious. Was this how easy it was to get replaced even after years of hard work a person gave out? I mean, I knew sooner or later I would have to step down from my position or even leave the pack, but who would have thought it would be this soon?“It’s not for forever Vi, we’ll be back and you know it” Aria said in my head, and I bit my tongue to stop myself from lashing out at her. She’s not Alpha John. I reminded myself.“But is it? I feel like it is Aria. You know that Alpha John will do his best to get rid of us, right? And this was just the beginning, I know it.” I fisted my hands into a ball as I marched out of the Alpha’s house.Tracy was waiting exactly wh
VIOLET’S POVTwo hours into our drive, Tracy became restless shifting into her seat and I feared she might run the car over.“If you plan on killing me, tell me now so I can brace myself for the hit.” I snapped not able to take it anymore.She rolled her eyes at me, “I couldn’t kill you even if I tried and you know it but since you care so much, I’m hungry. So hungry I could die right now but I could also take you with me.”Should have known. I thought to myself rolling my own eyes back at her. Tracy had a good amount of tolerance for a lot of things especially torture. The only thing she couldn’t was being hungry. She always mentioned how the sound of her stomach growling always had her thinking she was about to die and she hated it.“There should be a restaurant up ahead.” I pointed, just when she turned the car into another lane. And two minutes later we were packed in front of one.Tracy didn’t even turn the ignition off before she ran off leaving me behind. My mouth was opened ag
VIOLET’S POVTracy was hot on my trail as we rushed up to the girl on the floor worry washing over me. I placed a hand on her neck checking for a pulse, she’s alive. Severely injured but alive.“Trace, I need you to hold on to her.” I said through gritted teeth standing up with the girl in my arms. Her eyes were unfocused undoubtedly from dizziness and my heart felt for her.I could already feel my blood boiling at this point as rage filled my chest. What could she have done to possibly deserve such treatment? I’m going to kill him. I thought making a move towards the kitchen area only for someone to step in front of me.Big, fat and ugly were the words I could describe this rogue.“Not to mention disgusting,” Aria scoffed scrunching her nose from the filth that stood in front of us.He stared down at me, taking me in and sizing me up and I dared to do the same. I couldn’t blame him for doing that seeing as he could crush me if he wanted to – he just didn’t know who I was so he would
VIOLET’S POVI froze in my spot, unable to move or think. I knew I would have to see them again later but I didn’t think it would be this soon.Tracy stood rooted in her spot as well but instead of turning, she had her eyes at me, wondering what the problem was.I turned around, and came face to face with Cecil who was walking into the restaurant like he owned the damned place. All heads were turned in his direction, mine included.What is he doing here? Was the first thought I had when I saw him.This was no place for an Alpha like him, and even Tracy and I stumbled upon the place by mistake, it wasn’t like we knew what the place was or who hung around it.I grew even more alert, knowing that they could make a move towards him simply because he showed up but when I weighed the odds amongst us, I knew that by far – even before the rogues would be able to tell – we would be able to take them out in a matter of one minute.The room grew quiet however and I was left confused. They didn’t
VIOLET’S POVThe rogue leader looked like he was about to explode in anger but I didn’t care as long as Aurora was safe and I wanted her to be. I walked over to her, knowing the man had no choice but to let her go and I took her hand. I pulled her to walk with me and she winced, holding her shoulder which seemed to either have been broken or dislocated.“Can you walk?” I asked her, worry washing over me. She nodded slightly, but in a way that seemed like she wasn’t sure of her answer or if her body could will itself to walk. And when she tried to, she ended up wobbling around, almost falling before I caught her, Tracy then ran to my side to help carry her.We walked out of the restaurant holding onto Aurora and with each step she was in pain and I just couldn’t take it anymore.“We really need to get moving guys,” Alpha Cecil started to say, but I interrupted him. I wasn’t going anywhere until I knew for sure that she was okay. I also couldn’t help but worry over the time it was takin
VIOLET’S POVA few years have flown in and I could say that from time to time, I would think about all that has happened in my life. Sometimes the feelings were bitter, I had moved on but there were certain people I wished I had never met before and other times when it was pleasant, I would find myself thinking that everything happened to get me here.I am finally at peace.I stared at my mates and our children playing around until I felt a tugging on my pants and I looked down, snapping out of my usual day dream. My youngest daughter stared at me with big eyes and a smile immediately broke across my lips. I crouched to the ground before scooping her in my arms. “Do you need anything sweetheart?” I asked the child.Never in a million years did I think I was going to be as motherly as I was. I had two children who were eight and five years old respectively while the little munchkin in my arms was only two.I walked into the house with her, dragging my pregnant self to get some rest bec
VIOLET’S POVI woke up to the sound of soft breathing next to me and I knew it had to be my mates for I could feel them. All three of them. I smiled in my head, relieved that I was home with them and that I had the worst nightmare but that everything else was okay.But I guess that was not the case. “That wasn’t a dream, Violet. It happened and your father really is alive.” My wolf said to me, feeling more energized than I was obviously. This made my body jerk and I jolted awake with eyes wide and searching.It wasn’t a dream?By my side before I could say anything were my mates, each holding a worried expression in their eyes. My heart thumped in my chest upon seeing them but I felt a tad bit relieved that they were at least okay.Memories that I thought was a dream started to flash in my mind so fast my head started to throb in pain. I groaned while holding my head with one hand. “My head hurts….” I croaked out only to feel my throat burn from being dry. “How long was I out for?” I
VIOLET’S POVI had never been this conflicted about a decision like I was right now. There was my father whom I had to make sure made it to a safe distance and now I could focus my attention to Aurora and the Rogue King who had her in his grasp with a silver knife to the throat.I hated the things she made me go through and a part of me wanted her to perish with the rest of the rogues she had been working with, while the bigger part of me wanted me to save her from the Rogue King himself.I bet that she could really see him for who he was now. Scum and a coward. I hoped that it would wake her up from whatever he had her doing that got her to this point right now.“Violet, don’t get too close. You know you’re the one he wants….” Adrian warned when I moved past them. I looked back, whipping my head in his direction only to realize that I had left them further back and the Rogue King’s eyes were hungry with something that told that he was going to grab me the moment I got too close.I to
VIOLET’S POVI was back on the floor, running back to the images of the places we had followed while Aurora was driving me to the Rogue King’s terrain. One of the traits that made me an outstanding tracker and hunter when I needed to be was my ability to memorize map areas, whether on the field or on paper.And I could remember that the first few times Bayne had offered to train me when I first arrive Red Dawn, he was highly impressed with my skill. I was apparently better at map reading than some, if not most of his men. And he made sure everyone knew about it on the training camp.And if not for the times the mate bond caused me to give out the wrong answers – Bayne made it his duty and he went out of his way to flirt with me distracting me – I would have aced every last one of his tests.“I’m fine, stop worrying about me.” That wasn’t exactly what I wanted to say. I winced at the wrong thing I had just said and tried to correct my statement. “I mean that I am okay, but you all need
VIOLET’S POVI was a fool to hate my father. I was an even bigger fool to think that he never loved me when his disappearance was literally him proving that he did. Even though I didn’t know anything about it. It hurt to know that he suffered just as much as I did, if not more and there was no way that either of us could have reached out to the other.But it was still hard to believe that he did this all for me. He had the weirdest way of showing affection.“When I was a child you were never there. Especially after Mom died. You switched, you never spoke to anyone else except it was pack business related and even if you did, you never smiled with me. And then the attack happened….” I paused, I wanted him to know all that happened to me over the years. I wanted him to know what his absence cost me.I heard him sob some more and my tears found more means to fall freely as well. “I’m sorry…I’m sorry I took out my grief on you.”“That’s not the end of it… that not even the beginning of al
VIOLET’S POVThere were in an instant a few rogues with as much disgusting smell as their leader in the room grabbing me on both sides upon Aurora’s orders after she dragged me from his office. I tried to push them away from me, not just because they were trying to have me locked up but because of the smell being too close and almost overwhelming but to no avail. They were stronger than I was without my wolf.“Get your stingy hands off me, I can walk by myself.” I announced but they didn’t listen. It was as though they enjoyed seeing me struggle against them as they laughed with red almost black teeth.Aurora hissed where she stood, no doubt having had enough of my tantrum when she pulled out a piece of cloth from her pocket. “You had one fucking job and that was to listen but I should have known, you’re not one to ever listen unless it’s your mates ordering your pathetic ass around.” She snapped, tying my eyes tight completely taking my vision away.She pushed me forward and I walked
VIOLET’S POVI took Aurora’s words to heart. Don’t confront the Rogue King, got it. I stepped into the room once she pushed the door open, shutting it right back without being in the room, she did.The room was dark, and my eyes squinted in search of the said Rogue King. And somehow the smell became worse in this side of his castle. He’s really not joking with his title, is he? Rogue King, just has to smell the worst.I knew he was in this room, I could feel his stare on me, almost like he was ripping my clothes with his eyes and that almost had me gagging in disgust. All the hairs on my body stood at attention like soldiers as though they were ready to fight him off if he came close to me. Where the fuck is he? I wondered as I tried to use my human senses to pinpoint where he was but to no avail.I really needed my wolf at this point. “Here she is, the very Violet Windsor herself.” The words were eerie and they sent shivers of fear down my spine and my heart thumped in my chest like
VIOLET’S POVThe closer I got to my destination, the faster my heart raced in my chest, almost hurting my ribcage. I didn’t know what to expect, and I didn’t know if this trap Aurora had set for me was a simple – she was alone type of trap or if she had a few men with her – one I could escape from.But I sure knew that I had a lot of questions for her, for my father if he really was alive and for the Rogue King who hired Aurora. I needed to understand fully why my family had become his target all these years.I pulled the car into the hotel’s parking lot and stepped out of it. It looked completely deserted, entirely different from the way it was the last time we were here. What the hell happened here? I asked myself, but I couldn’t possibly have the answer.I pushed the door open after taking in a deep breath and I stepped inside. The reception area and everywhere else looked just about the same as it did but only emptier with no sign of life around.I didn’t know where Aurora could b
AUTHOR’S POVShe was gone into the night, away from all that she knew now in search of a truth relating to her father. What was she going to find? What if it was a trap? She knew it was, but she had to go regardless because there was a part of her that insisted that her father was truly alive and she couldn’t wait to see him and even rescue him.“Thank God, I’ve been training for a while.” She told herself. This time she was going to have to rely on her set of skills. She had no one else with her, not even Tracy whom she knew would have gone anywhere with her. And definitely not her mates who would not even have allowed her leave the castle without some type of protection or even at all. The letter said to come alone. She reminded herself a few times when Aria insisted they turn back and inform someone about her leaving.“We need back up Violet, we cannot go to the unknown without any kind of knowledge. Please turn the car around.” Violet didn’t listen to Aria’s pleas. She couldn’t af
