Chapter 66:Axel’s POV “Axel, it was a trap,” Greg said beside me.I was frozen to the spot as my head started working at a thousand thoughts per second. I thought I was on top of the plan. I thought I had figured it all out and this was going to be an easy victory.But I was terribly wrong, and I had realized that they were two steps ahead of me.If they weren’t here, there was only one move they could make that would make them win this -and that was attacking my city while I was here searching for them.My wolf sizzled with anger within me as I realized that the very thing I was avoiding was happening again -an attack on my people.“Contact Aaliyah right now and find out where they are. Gather the troops, we are heading back to the capital, right now!” I growled and turned back at once.As I walked back to the driver, my heart started pounding with fear. If Fergus was really aiming for the capital, then he was going to start his attack on the humans to show his stand and then if Wi
Chapter 67:Violet’s POVThe heavy boots of the soldiers got closer, and my heart started shaking harder in my chest. I finally understood what Emily was trying to do. Just like the time she protected me from Axel finding me in the slave quarters with Sam, she was doing the same thing now.I sealed my lips and held my breath as long as I could, praying that the men went somewhere else, but the boots continued heading in our way.My heart clenched and I started reciting all the prayers I could remember as a child in my head, praying that an angel could be assigned to help me.The look in Emily’s eyes only increased the panic in mine. If Emily who was a wolf and could defend herself looked scared, what more could I do?I closed my eyes and said one last prayer. If an angel couldn’t respond to it, then I wouldn’t mind getting rescued by a demon. I would pay for the consequences later. Right now, I needed to be protected from these men.The hair on my skin rose in alert as the boots got t
Chapter 68:Violet’s POVMy eyes were starting to pop out. I could not breathe, he was killing me.If I wanted to survive, I was going to have to do something and fast. I imagined the way I have seen soldiers jump on one another during practice. If I could just manage to get my legs to move high enough, I could give him a killer blow that would render him incapable of harming me.With a perfect plan in mind, I started trying to move my legs, but the man’s hold on me was like a rock-hard mountain. Nothing I did was even noticeable.My head was starting to get heavy, and my strength was diminishing but I refused to give up, I continued struggling until I was able to move my legs. I had barely brushed him when a heavy thud echoed in the corridor and the man holding me froze.At first, I thought it was my kick that had gotten to him, but I noticed the blood begin to escape from his nose and eyes. My barely-there kick couldn’t have done that…I didn’t have to question myself for long, as i
Chapter 69:Axel’s POV“Argh!” I screamed, using the reserves of my strength to try and push off the net but Willow’s evil cackle was a painful reminder of my failure.She threw her head back and held her stomach as she laughed. “I wish Talon was here to see what I have reduced his dear son to…”“By the time Greg gets here, I would tear-”“Oh please shut it!” she hissed, cutting off my pathetic threats. “Fergus why don’t you explain to him exactly what is happening to his dear Greg as we speak,” she said, waving her long clothed arm dramatically towards Fergus who had been observing with a smug satisfactory grin on his lips.He came closer and just like Willow, he lowered himself so that our faces were at the same level as he spoke to me.“Let's see, where should I begin,” he whispered with a finger on his jawline as he thought it through. “Here is our plan… we had hoped that you would be lured into our little cave by your dear Aaliyah…”My eyes expanded at his words as it suddenly oc
Chapter 70:Violet’s POVEmily and I started off walking but as the sounds of battle increased ahead of us, she picked up her pace and I followed behind her. My adrenaline was already pumping, and I couldn’t wait to get to the field and join in the battle.The sound got louder, and the thumps started hitting deep in my stomach. Rather than bring fear or cold feet, it made me fired up. I was even more thrilled to continue heading straight to where the war was. I strained my eyes ahead and I saw the men from Emily’s husband’s pack jump down from their vehicles and begin the attack of the enemy’s soldiers. A smile broke across my face, we were going to show those bastards.I pulled my hands into a punch and prepared myself to jump fist-first into the battle but just as I made to get in, Emily’s strong hands stopped me midway.“Where the fuck do you think you are going?” she hissed into my face as her strong arms pushed me to the wall.I looked at her with a confusing glare, wondering i
Chapter 71:Axel’s POVI looked down the cliff hoping to see a glimpse of Willow but there was absolutely no sign of her. My wolf was enraged. This type of death was not right for her.She deserved to be killed by mutilation at least and I was determined to make it a befitting one.I tightened my fists and turned away from the cliff aiming to go down the bottom to find her. But I didn’t make it far as my path was blocked by Greg and some of my men.“Axel!” Greg exclaimed as soon as he saw me. He ran up to where I was and wrapped his arms around me. “Oh, may the goddess be praised, I thought they got you…” he whispered.I wanted to push him away as I was still very much interested in chasing after Willow, even if her corpse was all that was left but I couldn’t. This was Greg, I couldn’t be cold to him even if I wanted to.Gently, I unwrapped his arms from my shoulders and looked into his troubled eyes.“I need to go down that cliff and verify if Willow is dead or not,” I growled and ma
Chapter 72:Axel’s POVI marched back to the mansion with a heart hard as stone. My enemies had dared to come into my own and mess with it. Greg was right, I had to put them in their place. They called me a boy king, I was going to show them, why people thought I was exactly like my father.Monty’s men and mine had subdued what was left of Fergus’s army. They were all kneeling at the center of the field like a bunch of animals that they were.“Montgomery!” I yelled as I got closer. I had not seen him, but I knew he was nearby. No commander walked too far from his army.“Yes, Axel,” he replied, appearing from my side.I pointed my finger at the group of men and turned to him, “I want them all beheaded and thrown in a heap into a pit!” I growled.“But Axel- my king, that would be too cruel a punishment,” he started to say but I stopped him halfway with a hand raised to his face.“They should have thought of their fates before signing allegiance with a pathetic fool like Fergus! This sho
Chapter 73:Violet’s POVI knew that the only way to get my parents to forgive me would be for me to get them out of there. And this in turn meant that, I had to speak to Axel. I knew it was crazy and risky especially now, but I had run out of options and my heart was too wounded by my parent’s rejection for my head to think straight.The only thing ringing in my head was the insults they had howled at me and how I was going to erase that when I managed to convince Axel to release them. Come to think of it, all humans were innocent. They were not directly involved and surely, my parents wouldn’t be punished.I lifelessly walked out of the dungeon and started making my way to the upper levels of the mansion.Despite the turmoil in my soul, I noticed that the maids and other workers had started leaving their hiding places and everyone tried to lend a hand or two into fixing the mansion from the mess the battle had left behind.A few of them greeted me, but my mind was deeply buried in t
Chapter 100:Violet’s POVAsher took me back to the Forgotten Lands. He showed me photos and videos of my parents. He gave me the family I had been craving for. I had it all except, my heart.I couldn’t help but feel like a piece of me was missing.“Do you think he will be fine by now?” I asked Asher as we sat looking over the setting sun while he held my baby —whom I secretly named Blade, after Axel’s missing sibling.I could feel Asher’s eyes on me, but I tried to keep a straight face. “It’s been two weeks since we left Axel’s lands, but you don’t miss a day without enquiring after him,” Asher pointed out and I felt my cheeks heat up instantly.“No, it’s nothing like that. I am just asking.” I tried to fix my sentence but even I knew that my defenses were only making it worse.Asher kept staring at me with that boyish face he always gave when he caught me, and I knew that lying would be pointless.I let out a sigh and closed my eyes. “I have really tried hating him. Forgetting him.
Chapter 99:Axel’s POVMy heart tore into multiple layers by Asher’s question. My eyes turned red as emotions curled through me. I opened my mouth to speak but words failed me. I turned to Violet, but she had her eyes fixed on her cousin. I wished I had protected our bond so that I could communicate with her at this moment.For the first time in my life, I felt stupid, dumb, and useless. I had no answer in my head to give that could be the right one.On one side, I wanted to tell him to fuck off and that Violet was never a slave here but not even my wicked conscience would let me say that out loud. I had been too cruel to Violet. Being a slave did not begin to define how far below I had downgraded her.On the other end, he was her cousin and probably the only legal family. I had to seek his fucking blessing and not be harsh. Yet I didn’t know how to begin. There was this large lump in my throat that reminded me of my sins and assured me that Violet would never forgive me —not after w
Chapter 98:Violet’s POV“This is even prettier than I remember it!” Skylar screeched as she helped me arrange my clothes in the drawers.“We are going to need baby clothes. The crochet tops you made, wouldn’t be enough. We will have to tell the king—” Hilda started to say but I quickly refused it.“No, Hilda. I don’t want his help.”“But he is your mate. Your husband,” she pointed out, but I shook my head refusing her words. “He isn’t my mate and much more my husband. He is just the man that fathered my baby,” I whispered. My eyes moved to where my baby lay in a beautiful crib. How Scarlett got everything made in such a short time was surprising. She was truly an angel.I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts as I felt a warm hand rest on my shoulders. I moved my eyes off my child and traced the source of the hand to find it belonged to Hilda.“We all know that Axel did you wrong, but you can’t deny the fact that you love him—”“Before loving him, she had herself to fucking love,”
Chapter 97:Axel’s POVAunt Emily led me back to my room where I had left Violet and the baby —our baby. My heart doubted that Violet would ever forgive me after everything I did to her, but Aunt Emily was optimistic. She held my arm like a little child and as we got to the door, she knocked first before clicking it open.My heart was in my stomach as I held my breath, too scared to breathe as her broken face came into view but to my dismay, the bed was empty —and cleaned. There was no one except Scarlett glaring back at me.One look at her and I knew that she was already aware of the situation. Shame washed over me, and my eyes lowered to the ground.“Scarlett,” Aunt Emily called as she moved towards her. She embraced her and placed a perk on her cheek. “How are you?”“I am fine, Aunt Emily,” she whispered in that gentle voice of hers, but I could feel her eyes on me as she spoke, and I dared not raise mine to meet hers.“Where is Violet, did you meet her here?” Aunt Emily asked her
Chapter 96:Violet’s POVMy lower abdomen was killing me with pain. It kept shooting through me, weakening my legs to the point I could barely feel them anymore.Tears filled my eyes as I thought about what happened. The tears weren’t from the pain, it was from my heart.Even now, I couldn’t hate Axel. I wanted him still and this broke me. How could I enjoy what he did to me? How could I have moaned in between the pain when my little child was just a couple of meters away?What sort of mother was I?I couldn’t tell how long I was curled up on the bed, but it was long enough for me to realize that I had made a mistake birthing the child. I shouldn’t have allowed him to live because now, he was going to suffer for a crime he knew nothing about.Axel was going to hate and punish him constantly because he would see him as a bastard. And me?I would remain a sex slave for the rest of my life while he had his life with his new bride, Scarlett. Was this the kind of life I wanted my baby to h
Chapter 95:Axel’s POVI kept going all through the night, thrusting deep until I became intoxicated by her soft folds. I didn’t stop even when she started bleeding. I didn’t stop when she cried out, begging me to stop; not even when my wolf started clawing at me.This was both revenge and torture for her crimes. She had let someone else touch the body I craved. The same body I was ready to honor in every way possible. I cherished her and gave her everything, but she threw all that away and let some fool touch her.The pain in my heart spread and I felt tears dancing in my eyes. Violet had turned me into a mess. I was a ticking time bomb of chaotic emotions.I couldn’t even tell how I felt or what I wanted. One time, I enjoyed hurting her and the next it tore me apart. The moment she broke my heart and shattered my trust, everything exploded within me.Violet made a fool out of me. She stole my heart and placed me in a position where my love for her could not be erased. My body coul
Chapter 94:Axel’s POVThe darkness and anger in my soul shifted the second the news about Violet got to me. I didn’t even care about Aunt Emily. I knew she could handle herself and besides, she was still at loggerheads with me, and seeing her would only intensify my anger.But Violet, I could finally vent out my anger on her tight little pussy.“Good,” I declared getting to my feet. “Prepare her and bring her to my chambers tonight. She has been off duties for too long.”“Axel, have you lost your mind?” Greg yelled the second the words left my lips.My claws pushed out of my fingers, and I pointed them at him, baring my teeth as I breathed through my mouth with a rage that could match a hundred people.“I do not want to hear a word from you, Greg. You have done enough damage for one day and for your sake I hope Scarlett doesn’t get hurt by your decisions because if she does, I swear on my father’s name, I will forget the relationship we share, and I will end your life!” I roared befo
Chapter 93:Axel’s POVNathan was just like his father. A very annoying specie of wolf that enjoyed pissing me off more than they valued their lives. I told him to ignore Violet’s fake cries, but he chose to ignore me instead.“Fuck!” I cursed as I matched down to my office with a frown on my face.I would deal with him later, right now, I would have to solve whatever issues Asher has brought with him.I was making a bend to my office when Greg’s voice stopped me, “Where are you going? Asher is over here,” he said, and I changed direction to that of the throne room.When I got there, Asher was already seated with two of his men by his side. There was a box on the table in front of him and as soon as I stepped in, he snapped his hand to the man standing by his right and the latter quickly rushed to open the box.“King Axela, I present to you… Willow’s head,” he said with a wide grin on his face.The turbulent emotions I was feeling due to Violet got triggered by the nickname he had ref
Chapter 92:Violet’s POVThe pain I felt was great but the fear of losing my child as the pain shot through my body was greater as it moved like a boiling lava through my brain, causing my entire system to become on edge.“No… no, not my baby.” I sang like a mantra as my trembling hands reached to check if my baby bump was still intact.Tears pooled in my eyes as my fingers retracted at the pain that splashed through me at the action. My head started shaking and I resumed my mantra as I realized that something was wrong with my baby.My trembling hands went to the ground, and I tried to pull myself off the ground, but a sharp pain filled me so deep, I couldn’t help it. I tried to swallow the scream, but I couldn’t.“Argh!” I cried out. “I can’t feel my baby…” Tears spilled down my cheeks and my vision became blurry as I struggled through the pain.Then I felt it. The first contraction.I was only five months gone; I couldn’t be having contractions. “No… this can’t happen now. Help… so
