VIOLET’S POVCecil lifted me in his arms as if he knew that my leg was hurting, not to mention I was naked in front of everyone having shredded my clothes while shifting but so was everyone else.We moved from the gas as did Bayne and Adrian. There were a few other rogues coming towards us that were being handled by Bayne’s trusted men and as soon as they ripped them apart, they covered their noses fast, moving away from the smoke as quick as they could.Once we were at a safe distance and Cecil was done screaming for people to leave – a few others didn’t listen and they wished they had when it was too late.Their eyes widened before mine and they collapsed, choking on air first before fainting. And just when we thought that the rogues themselves had reduced in number, a lot more emerged from the other side of the field we were fighting on.Here we fucking go. I thought, getting ready for another round of killing. I took a sharp breath in, bracing my wounded calf and I made a move beh
VIOLET’S POVInjured or not. Expecting it or not. I was trained for this. I bled for moments like this and to see Diana charge towards me this way, I knew better than to stand and watch just because I was mated to her brothers. Fight now, talk later. I said to myself moving away from Cecil before he could stop me.He knew that although his sister was an Alpha just as he was, she was no match for me. Diana was definitely bigger in size in her wolf form but not great in battle skills like I was and there was no way she was taking me down.I already had pent up resentment that needed release and she seemed – the reason I had it in the first place – like the perfect subject for it.Her fists went flying first, a typical and common first move from people who didn’t fight much. If only she had made out the time to train as much as Bayne or Cecil, then maybe she could have been just as good as I was or even better.She snarled, snapping her jaw towards me with her fangs glistening from the b
VIOLET’S POVOf all the places my legs wanted to go to, my room was the last of it. Nothing about the space there was enough to want me stay in there.I was fuming with anger and if I were to be monitored, it was sure to be seen that I was boiling inside. “Deep breaths, Vi.” My wolf started to say but how could I when my chest was heaving with short ones.“Did you see what she was doing?” Of course she saw. She wasn’t blind. “I don’t know why they could never just push her away. And the fact that he chose to care for her over checking to see if I was okay is appalling. Why is it so hard for them to see me?”I kept on walking, bumping into people from time to time until I made it outside the house.“Yeah, I understand how you feel and I could really use a run right about now.” Suggested Aria and it seemed like the perfect way to let go out my anger.She took control feeling mine let loose and off she went, shifting the minute I began to run. The little clothes we had managed to wear be
VIOLET’S POVThe grass or wherever Cecil had laid me on was not supposed to feel this soft and hard at the same time. Grasses pricked the skin, some making you itch and others just plain irritable.I turned my body to the other side, only to feel the same softness underneath me. I frowned in my sleep but didn’t open my eyes, not until I felt something heavy drape over my upper back, pulling me and I felt like I was about to be buried or something.My eyes snapped open, wide enough to clear any sleep from them. I turned around, feeling my heart race only to realize the electricity that flowed through me, that had made my eyes super heavy from waking was from my mates.I breathed out loud, realizing that I had been brought back to the house – Cecil no doubt – and my mates had slipped into bed with me, something they hadn’t done in a while.I relaxed against them, feeling slightly overwhelmed by the electricity that flowed through my body.I stared at their sleeping faces. So peaceful, y
VIOLET’S POVI may have seen the Triplets angry a few times, but that wasn’t even close to how angry they were right now. Each one, with his face contorted with rage that could burn a house down and Skye was the cause of it all.Skye shook her head the moment she heard Adrian’s question and she was on her feet in an instant backing away.Even I, whom the anger wasn’t directed at felt the overwhelming power of the anger radiating off them.Bayne banged his fists on the table, almost breaking it in half. “He fucking asked you a question! Answer it!” His eyes were blood shot and Skye knew she had no where to run to. No lie that would save her front he wrath of the brothers.Diana who had been trying to cover up for her stood looking shocked like she had no hand in it, when in fact I knew she did.Skye shook her head and even though they were angry with her, Cecil wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me back. She’s not going to hurt me, was my first thought but I didn’t speak a w
VIOLET’S POVI didn’t know what to think about their idea but whatever worked did. And I was counting on this one to. I was counting on it working so that I could be with them again. I sighed, hopping off the bed and making my way to the window. My mates were gone now, to sort things out and put their plan in motion and I was left with thick air of tension that was just about ready to choke me to death.I pushed the glass of the window open, letting the cool air breeze through, taking away any negativity that was in the air. And once I was finally able to breathe again, I walked back to bed.Questions still flew in my mind as did the worry. I wanted to know who the anonymous person was just to let my mind not focus on Diana but no one came to mind. I wondered if it were an outsider and if again it could be Sam but I had made it clear I wanted nothing to do with him, surely he wouldn’t go to such lengths just because I rejected him.“We both know he’s bitter enough to do it.” My wolf s
BAYNE’S POVThe elders wouldn’t tell us who it was that informed them about Violet being involved with rogues. And where my brothers didn’t want to, I was this fucking close to demanding and forcing an answer out of them, councilmen or not. My mind had only one person in mind and for his sake I hoped that it wasn’t him. Before I fucking raid his pack and take the remnants as spoils.To Adrian and Cecil, I offered to only protect our mate but to me, I wanted to make sure that it wasn’t fucking Sam that hid behind being anonymous to bad mouth my mate and to be the first one who punish him for all that has occurred.Violet was quiet once Tracy and Aurora made the announcement that they weren’t staying without her. Her eyes much to my displeasure welled up with tears. I wasn’t sure if it was because she was touched by their words or because she was pained because she had to leave. And even in the irony of it, it was refreshing to see that she really did want to stay with us compared to th
VIOLET’S POVI ran out of luck with the moon goddess and for whatever reason she was antagonising me and I didn’t know why, or how it is I had displeased her.Bayne had driven us into Blue Claw Pack and that familiar air gushed, hitting my body, my face especially and I peeked my head out of the window like a child to get a proper feel of it.It was a familiar environment yet it had a different atmosphere, one that got my wolf prancing around in restlessness. What the fuck is going on? What did they do to this place?It mostly, where the warriors often gathered for a recess together looked deserted and while there were still people in the pack, nothing, absolutely nothing, was the same anymore.“This is home but it doesn’t feel like it.” I could sense the wariness from Aria and it seemed as though she was peeking through my eyes to take a better look, like I wasn’t really doing staring at the pack in front of me.As Bayne drove by, we got stares from people that would normally have be
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
