Chapter 59:Violet's POVMy heart was beating fast like I was the culprit caught. Now that the Widow had escaped, there was only one question in my head.What was going to happen to my parents? Or even me?"Seal the entire area! She couldn't have gotten far!" Axel roared orders around me but my ears could only register the racing of my heart.Axel continued screaming orders and I watched him run down the corridor along with the guards to probably handle the search on his own.Yet my body remained rooted in front of the Widow's opened door, unable to pull myself away."Damn it!" Emily cursed over and over as she stared at the empty room with me."We should have been here fucking sooner." She hissed. Her hands went to her waist and her eyes were narrowed as she glared at the room.Then as if she had seen something she dropped her hands from her waist and started heading into the room. "Come, Violet, let's search this place. She might have dropped something," she mumbled as she walked in
Chapter 60:Violet's POV"It will explain why she has a veil on and the classic attitude. This was the exact way Willow behaved," Greg continued explaining, and I could feel the bitterness in his voice."But why would she want Axel dead? She had a problem with his mother, not him... right?" I asked, unable to understand where the feud was coming from.Again Greg glanced at me and smiled. "You are so innocent, Violet. You don't know how people's minds work... Willow is driven by vengeance, she always felt like Avalyn stole her place when she had given it to her on a silver platter," he explained.I blinked and shook my head. If I wanted to understand where all of this hatred and need for vengeance was coming from, I needed to know the entire story."Beta Greg, why did King Talon marry Avalyn if he already had a wi—mate that was even a werewolf?" I asked."Talon needed a child and Willow could not make him one after several years of their bonding. And as you already know, a Lycan King n
Chapter 61:Violet's POVThe sound of my racing heart filled my ears so much that my brain couldn't even produce the right defence for me. I just stood there turning my head between them.My father's nose was flared up and my mother was red with rage. They were angry with me but for what?"All I have done is try to find the best way to get you both freed. Why can't you understand this way you are thinking is wrong and it will get you killed?" I tried to explain to them."The only reason I am going to die is because I have a daughter like you!" My father spat out before turning away from the bars."No, Father. You are going to die because you refused to listen to your daughter and preferred a wolf instead!" I retorted and my father stopped halfway.This fueled me to continue on this path."Where is the widow now? She has run off and abandoned you two here. Yet you claim that I am the foolish one. Did you even know that she is Willow, the old king's ex—wife?"A dark chuckle erupted from
Chapter 62:Axel's POVTwo days had passed and the widow was nowhere to be found. Savannah had also managed to escape leaving me with nothing to verify.Rage filled my insides and all I wanted to do was scream at the top of my lungs.I had made a very silly mistake.I had brought my mother's enemy into the mansion that I was supposed to preserve. I brought her and I let her slip through my fingers."Fuck!" I roared, kicking away the table.For two days, I had gone with the guards moving through the forest, searching for Willow. Two days and nothing."Fuck!" I roared again as frustration blinded my eyes.Aunt Emily and Greg wanted me to sit still while they continued with the investigations but I couldn't. I was going to lose my mind.According to them, I was the target in this coup d'etat but I didn't care. I was going to end all of this madness right now.I folded my hands into fists and pulled myself out of the chair and started walking out of my office.But just as I stretched my h
Chapter 63:Axel's POV"Relax aunt, none of that is going to happen..." I said to her with a deep sigh.She started shaking her head to object to what I had said but I quickly stopped her. "Aunt, I know what they want. I am not stupid. Trust me and let me—""You have to fucking trust us too Axel... I am supposed to fucking tell Talon if anything happens to you? It's one thing to lose Avalyn but how do I fucking explain that his son went into a fucking war and never returned?" She yelled and for the first time, I saw my strong Aunt break.She collapsed into my arms and I could feel her body trembling as the tremors of her tears coursed through her like angry waves in a sea."I don't want to lose you, Axel... I have already lost too much..." She whimpered against my shoulders.My heart was filled with pain, for her and for all the people we both knew would never return to us.But even in that pain, I knew that I had to end Fergus and Kasper. I couldn't let them take over. If I stayed ca
Chapter 64:Axel's POVEver since the first day I met Violet in her father's castle, I had always felt a pull between us. It was like an invisible string tied between us that no matter how far I tried to run, it always found me and pulled me back.When I found her a couple of months ago in Aaliyah's shed, the connection had even grown stronger and as much as I tried to avoid her, I failed miserably.Now that my wolf had recognized her, I understood what that pull was. It was our bond calling for me but I was too stubborn to see it.My eyes moved to hers and I could finally see it. Not only that, I could feel it too. A pull too strong to exist between a Lycan and a human, yet it was there.Her beautiful green eyes stared back at me with so much affection and love in them, that I felt butterflies erupt within me and curl around in a frenzy.I knew what she wanted. I knew what she needed to hear. It was an assurance that what I had blurted out wasn't just a mere word but I truly meant it
Chapter 65:Violet's POVWhen Axel left the room, I remained on the bed with a permanent smile on my face that refused to go away.To think that Axel had finally accepted me as his mate...It was like having this beautiful dream but never really admitting it because you were scared it would go away and now that it was finally happening in reality, I found it too much to take.I felt like screaming at the top of my lungs. My insides were unable to control it.My cheeks were burning with excitement. My heart was skipping beats each time I thought about the moment we shared and I could only wish that this was ended quickly so that Axel would return to me.I wasn't worried about him because I knew he could handle himself. Axel was as strong as the metal itself. No one could hurt him and even if they hurt him, he could always regenerate because he was a Lycan.The strongest of all werewolves. An essence they all feared and respected.And now, he was mine...Another wave of warmth flowed th
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 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
