VIOLET’S POVI thought training was over and done with but I was wrong. Apparently there were two last days set aside for friendly games and matches between packs before they returned to their various homes.Adrian and his brothers deemed it as a means for the packs to get along since they were all allies which wasn’t really a bad idea.I was just caught off guard by the news where instead of getting the break I desperately needed to clear my thoughts, I had to attend.The games this time was meant to show every pack leader the results of the training their members had learnt. It was every wolf representing his or her pack and I, even as I marched to the Arena, I had to question who and what pack to represent. Blue Claw or Red Dawn? I was mated to the strongest Alphas and my loyalty should be theirs but I was raised by Blue Claw. I didn’t want to abandon them just because they let me go.Pack wolves were allowed to compete in the ring on their own accord, which meant that if a warrior
AUTHOR’S POVThe moment he saw her, Sam just couldn’t take his eyes off of her. There she stood looking as confident as he saw her the day of the games. Suddenly every form of resentment he had from that day and the past didn’t matter anymore.He had now gone to a point where he knew hating her wouldn’t benefit him. He had also grown tired of denying his attraction towards her.At the party, he wanted her, he never thought a woman could look the way that she did taking his breath away and yet there was Violet, making him unable to stop looking at her or even thinking about her when Diana dragged him out.In that moment he didn’t give a shit if the triplets were going to send him away, he just had to let everyone know that Violet had been his. She still was.And to see her fight a couple of the best fighters from other packs at a row effortlessly filled his heart with a pride he knew he needed to keep. Violet was his Fated Mate. She was meant to be his.After the fight, he clenched his
VIOLET’S POVMy body was sore from all the hits I took from the fights during the games the day before. For a moment, I had to remind myself what I had gained in the end of it after winning because it didn’t feel worth it.Aria was doing a fine job healing me but I still needed some time to completely heal. Red spots that had now turned purple were still visible on different parts of my body.The Triplets did a fine job getting me to rest after we had left the arena but following the confrontation with a certain someone. I couldn’t help it that my thoughts drifted over to Sam a few times. And each time it did, I found myself either gritting my teeth or feeling the urge to beat the shit out of him.How dare he demand to speak with me like I owed him anything?I shook my head not wanting him to be the first thing I thought in the morning which could only lead to my mood getting ruined and I didn’t want that. Instead I hopped into the bathroom for a quick bath, brushed my teeth before ma
DIANA’S POVThere was nothing more I hated in this world like Violet at the moment. Not even the mention of rogues could get me so riled up like she could.The mere mention of her was enough to have my mouth tasting bitter that not even the deliciousness of the breakfast we were having was good enough to stop bile from rising from the mere sight of her.But then again it wasn’t just disgust I felt for her. It was even it at all. I hated that she was better than me in some ways. She had nothing and should be nothing.How dare she be considered a better Luna than I?Why was she something to Sam – she may not know it. Or maybe she did and was only pretending – when I should be the only thing he saw and wanted?He didn’t have to tell me that they were mates for me to know this. People always thought that since I was spoilt, – I knew this fully and have embraced its fullness – I wasn’t smart enough to know things, especially when they were obvious. And maybe it wasn’t that serious but Sam
VIOLET’S POVWounds heal, it doesn’t matter the part wounded. All that matters is the cause which will determine the rate for the healing to happen.I shut the book I was reading down, not feeling like reading anymore. It wasn’t like there wasn’t anything to do or be done I just tried to get my mind busy and out of thought.It had been two whole days since Skye arrived at Red Dawn and the stomach pain. And since then I had spent more time in my room than any where that had them around.It was either the confines or the walks I made sure to take after each meal – which was also away from everyone else.It was obvious I was running away from having to see Skye get cosy with the triplets because she knew them from when she was little. Plus I didn’t want to let my jealousy get the best of me.The one time I looked forward to being around people was before the start of the game. I was super excited in fact that I mostly skidded my way to the camp site set for the weaponry.“Someone’s excit
VIOLET’S POV“You need to stay still, Violet.” The pack doctor stressed but how could I when everything felt uncomfortable not to mention the very leg feeling itchy from the medication he gave? “This means that you’re not allowed to do anything at all with the leg. Remember the spikes got deep into your tissues and it’s going to take some time before it fully heals.” He took another glance at my legs before nodding.Cecil caressed my hand, taking some of the pain away and I couldn’t help but relax to his touch. “I mean it, Violet. Not even sex should get you to move this leg.” He emphasised but I was too engrossed with the sensation I was getting from Cecil.“What?” Cecil exclaimed, startling me awake from my daze. “What do you mean no sex? And how long will the healing take?” I too got interested in the answer to the question. I needed to know when next I could train, or even just be myself again.If only I knew I was going to get wounded, I would have spent more time outside instead
ADRIAN’S POVThe ride back to the pack house was quiet. I wanted to believe that it was because we had a heated moment a few minutes ago and we needed to cool off but I knew better than that. Especially with the way Violet has been right in front of me.She was seething with anger and the only thing keeping her in check was my touch against her skin but even that, as we rode the horse I could feel her body stiffen against mine like she didn’t want a feel of mine. She’s definitely upset with me.And the moment we stopped by in front of the house, she literally jumped on her good leg and stormed off with limp without so much as a goodbye or thank you. I had wanted to take her in my arms and escort her to her room the same way I carried her out.I had the horse taken to the stables and as I walked through the corridors heading for my room, I wondered why her mood changed so fast and drastically.“Can’t say I blame her.” My wolf retorted like he knew something I didn’t. My brows knitted a
VIOLET’S POVI couldn’t do it even if I wanted to – to stop thinking about what I had seen earlier.Today had been shitty to say the least. I have had my hopes for a great hunt shattered, my advances rejected by one of my mates and I had seen him with the very reason why I got injured in the first place in a cosy position. Fuck this.“I knew that bitch was up to something the day she showed up.” Aria was more pissed than I was and I understood why, agreeing with it also.A part of me wanted to know why Skye was in his room and the other half didn’t want to know to risk getting hurt.I was seething in anger, pacing in my room and asking myself what I needed to cool off. Was it to take a run? Was it to head to the training centre or was it to just scream out loud?He had tried to talk to me, to stop me from walking away but how could I when Aria was on the verge of taking control with a broken heart to rip Skye into shreds?And what was worse was having to get flashes on her falling rig
