VIOLET’S POVMy eyes squinted from the brightness that shone into the room. It was so bright I couldn’t help the banging that sounded in my ears. From the little I could see, Laura stood pulling my curtains and I wondered how she got in here and why she thought it was okay for her to.“Are you fucking crazy?” were the first words that left my mouth that morning. One could say that I clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed but if she had let me, maybe I would have rolled back on the good side of it on my own. But being in a pack and in a situation where I was constantly in pain from having to see her with my mates, it was unlikely that I would ever have a good day. “What gives you the fucking right to be here after the shit you pulled last night?”From where I was, if I wanted to kill her, I could do it and still get away with it. I could feel Aria smile at the back of my head. She was already planning things in her head and I could see right through them. For a moment I even want
VIOLET’S POVI was fuming yet feeling drained at the same time from a conversation that was clearly not in my best interest. Hurt couldn’t even describe how I was feeling and whatever courage and confidence I had put on a show with for Laura flew out the window the moment she left.My soul was left wounded and to hear her speak this morning like she had more rights than I did, maybe she does, only added salt to it.Her words cut deep but the triplets actions cut deeper. None still showed up and I was glad that Aria and I were at least past the point of waiting and caring for them to or not. I think we had gotten to the place where I much preferred if they didn’t come at all because if they did, it would only mean that they had just left Laura’s place.My mind drifted to their last visit and I could recall how close to giving in and believing their lies I had gotten. “Can’t we just leave? I don’t want to be here anymore.” Came Aria’s words. I didn’t want to be here any second but sleep
VIOLET’S POVTrust. He wanted me to trust them but how could I?He wanted me to believe that they had nothing to do with Laura and yet they were still with her.Trust us. Like it was easy. Doing this was the most difficult thing I have had to do, moving past rejection being another.I was supposed to leave, I still wanted to but I found that Aria, just like me had second thoughts about doing so.“I think we should wait and see what they’re up to.” Were her words and I loved that she and I were thinking the same thing. But I guess that could be expected, seeing as we were literally one person.And so it was. There was a type of relief I felt after hearing Cecil’s words and even though it had been a few days since he was here, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.It also didn’t help that my body missed them, I craved to have them in bed with me. And when it got to the point that it aimed to depress me, I made myself as busy as I could get.Sure, they were looking for the spies but I had t
VIOLET’S POVThey didn’t like my response for sure. Not one of them did and I relished in their jealously. How did they think that my life was going to pause for their sake when they had a woman with them all the time? It was good that they knew that just because they said for me to wait for them, - I was going to, but they didn’t need to know my plan was to make them jealous – that I would.It also pleased me to finally get some reaction, something genuine come out of them. Maybe this was a good thing. Maybe getting them jealous would bring them back to me. I highly doubt it.I knew just how possessive Alphas could get and today, here and now, they showed it. Bayne was the angriest of them all and he looked just about ready to kill someone – any man he saw close to me no doubt.“You’re not fucking going Violet. The doctor made us know that you need to rest and that’s what you’ll be spending the evening doing.” Make me! Bayne was fuming but I stared at him with a bored and blank expre
VIOLET’S POV“I think you should stay Violet. I have a feeling and I know you understand what I’m feeling.” My leg muscles twitched when I was about to move them. Stay. Why should I? Is she being serious right now?“You just saw what they did to us. You saw them take her side and comfort her once again even though she was the one who started it. Who always starts shit with us. You saw that and you want us to stay? What for?”I asked Aria bitterly like I could feel the taste straight from my heart. Stay she said. Why should I?I came here confidently, with poise and elegance and they just had to find a way to clip my new wings because they don’t want me to be happy without them. They planned to reduce me to nothing.“You still love them as much as I do. And I know that it hurts. I know that you feel rejected, I do too but Cecil’s words always come to play in my mind and you know it. They’re up to something Violet and I just wish that we could stay and see what it is.” Aria added and th
VIOLET’S POVI did as I was told. Adrian’s eyes didn’t give me room to protest but maybe they were protective enough to want to see me. Maybe they had now finally woken from their faze of being around Laura.Maybe.Tracy didn’t move in her spot and like me she didn’t know what to make of the expression that Adrian had first given. “I’m being summoned to the pack house, I’ll see you later.” I told her already leaving.She had questions no doubt as did I. Aurora wasn’t even here to know what was going on and it was fine.I left the party even before they did, leaving Laura glaring at me yet smirking at me like she knew something I didn’t. I hated when she did that because now Diana had the same look. Fucking bitch. You and you. My gaze darted between them as I sauntered across the hall to the main door.A guard who stood watch pulled the door open and I walked out not looking back even though by now I knew more eyes were on me and it wasn’t just the two evil twins which were Diana and L
VIOLET’S POVI had no words to say. And when Tracy found out, I didn’t know how the words left my mouth.She barged into the room furious, but then again maybe she read my mind from the link we shared. Maybe she heard the crash sound of my heart breaking.“Let’s just go.” I told her, pulling her with me over to the castle I had lived in alone. I’m sorry for not listening Aria. You were right about everything.“I’m so sorry. If only we had left the time they wanted to speak to us, we could have avoided the humiliation.” Which is unlikely because they would find other ways to get it done.I knew that for sure and now that they didn’t even set Diana straight, I was without a doubt sure that she would be at the forefront to telling me the tales of her brothers and new found mate.“I don’t get what I did wrong to deserve this.” I mumbled staring them in the eyes before I turned to leave. But not before seeing them twitch where they sat and their eyes holding something that was somewhat rec
VIOLET’S POVI didn’t want to go in there. I shouldn’t have. Aria screamed so loud in my ears that my vision blurred a little from the noise but I had to shake it out because I was driving.Tracy on the other hand still held a confused look as she waiting for me to answer. Did I have a plan? Was there supposed to be a plan?“I don’t have shit.” I informed her through our mind link. “I think we’re going to have to go with Aurora, Trace. Let’s see if the place is any good to accommodate us.”“Do you feel that?” she asked out of nowhere and I was left further confused at her question. Feel what? “My wolf keeps telling me there’s danger ahead. I don’t think we should go commander.”You and me both but what can I say.“Her place is not much...” Aurora started, cutting off our link and pulling us back into the conversation. “....but it should do. We can be there for a few days we before we re-strategize for some place better.”Fuck it, let’s just go.“What’s the worse that can happen, we ca
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
