Chapter 38: Violet's POV It felt like I was stuck in a dream.I was expecting an impossible apology from the king of pride himself and I got a status elevation.Did this mean he... He wanted me to? Did he... Could he possibly have feelings for me?Hilda's mouth was wide open in shock. She looked at me and returned her eyes to Axel's face and then looked back at me.Just like me, she couldn't believe what she was hearing."My— my king, the only empty room in your wing is the room opposite...?" Hilda was caught between making her statement a question or leaving it as it was."I know Hilda. Just get it done," he said and turned his back to us again. "Get her a maid and make sure everything gets executed today."My lower lip immediately went into my mouth as I struggled to control the emotions within me."Yes, of course, My King," Hilda repeated. She looked at me and shook her head. She looked like she wanted to speak but Axel's voice broke through the room again."You may leave now. Bot
Chapter 39: Axel's POV"Some of the slaves in my pack tried to revolt a few days ago, I had to slaughter them!" Alpha Fergus from the eastern pack bellowed."These humans are becoming more daring as the years go by, we must make even stricter laws against them!" Alpha Kasper added."Yes! They should all be killed!" Alpha Fergus thundered.My eyes remained fixed on the door, my ears listening to them but my mind only got irritated by their reports."Alpha Fergus, forgive me but don't you think if we slaughter all of them, then we will lack greatly in labor?" Aaliyah's calm voice filled the room."You only say that because you deal in the business of selling slaves and breeders! We can't afford to put our reign in jeopardy because someone wants to stay in business!" He bellowed and the room fell into murmurings as everyone suddenly had something to say.A few of the Alphas and Betas present believed that Fergus was right while a good number supported Aaliyah.Greg looked at me and I kne
Chapter 40: Axel's POV"Are you saying this Willow woman is fucking back?" I blurted as my eyes flashed before me. "Do you think she has infiltrated the mansion? Could she have done this?"Greg slowly shook his head. "No, I don't think so...""But we can't be so fucking certain. Nobody ever confirmed her death after the revolution, did they?"I knew that my father had her locked up in the dungeons for ages but she was alive. Yet after the revolution after everyone dispersed, we never heard from her. She wasn't found in the dungeons, nor did anyone find her body."We will keep our eyes open and expand our search but I don't think Willow would want to show her face after everything she did to Avalyn..." Greg said."Better!" I breathed, turning my attention to the scenery flashing by the car's window. We couldn't just conclude that Willow was gone. For such a drug that had a history with her to be found so close to my circle, I wouldn't dismiss the possibility so fast. There had to be
Chapter 41: Violet's POV I still couldn't wrap it around my fingers that Axel had prepared a room specifically for me. This couldn't have been a coincidence. He had really done it to look like the room as a child. I wanted to ask him about it, but there was so much tension between us, I didn't think that would be the right thing to do.Besides, I still couldn't understand why he had made me his mistress. As much as I tried to tell myself that it wasn't a big deal, I couldn't help but get butterflies each time I thought about my new status.As we all gathered for Hera's funeral, my mind was still battered over it. It felt like my body was there and my mind was somewhere else entirely. I needed someone to tell me what I had to do at this point because my brain had turned to cheese and nothing made sense to me anymore.I could hear Savannah's loud wails but they sounded distant. I made up my mind at once to go visit my parents. I had to talk to my mother. She at least could tell me wha
Chapter 42: Violet's POV I left my parents feeling even worse than I did when I went to them. After my father's uproar, I couldn't even speak to my mother about the status I had been elevated to. I couldn't even ask her anything because I knew what she would say.She would want me to use it to free them. But how?How could I convince Axel to free my parents when he barely even spoke to me?It wasn't as if he were in love with me or something. I didn't even know why he elevated my status. The widow made it seem like sex was the tool I had on Axel but after the first time, he had barely even looked at me.I was so enveloped with my thoughts that I almost walked past Hilda, who had remained by the door, waiting for me."How did it go?" She asked and I turned to give her a fake smile.It went horrible, I wanted to say but it would defeat the aim of coming here and probably stop future possibilities "It was great. I feel much better now," I said, the fake smile glued firmly to my lips."
Chapter 43: Axel's POVI was overwhelmed with a feeling I couldn't describe as I watched her throwing herself at another man when she should have been with me.I marched down the rest of the distance to where she stood, my body growing spontaneously as anger brewed inside of me."I asked you a fucking question!" I growled glaring at her. "What do you think you are doing?"Fear flashed in her eyes but she straightened her shoulders and dared to stand her ground before me."I was talking... With my friends," she said and my wolf growled in irritation at how easily she lied.I was so fucking stupid. I was planning on her to make it up to here. She was throwing herself at a common slave and she dared lie to me about it...In a blink of an eye and my hands grabbed her pretty little neck and I pinned her to the wall "Do you think I am a fool?" I growled softly in her face and that was my mistake.Her scent blinded my wolf and soon enough my rage became blended with lust. I wanted her badly
Chapter 44: Violet's POVThe pain in my body vanished the moment Axel took me to the bathroom and started washing me. I couldn't help but stare at him as thousands of emotions swirled through me.What was it exactly he wanted from me? Why was he doing so many things all at once? What did he feel for me?One minute he was making crazy requests and the next he was so angry with me, I feared he would kill me, and then, here he was taking care of me like I was the only thing that mattered to him.Why was it so hard to understand him?My heart was soiled with emotions so much that I didn't even know what to feel. A part of me wanted this to be more than what it was. While another part of me knew that it was impossible to want more from this Axel.All I could do was watch him. Perhaps there was something I was missing. Perhaps there were clues on his face and I wasn't paying attention to see it.I watched as he moved the sponge over my legs and as he scrubbed them clean with such precision,
Chapter 45: Axel's POV "Jasper will need to test Violet's blood to see if she has more chances than Thalia and Savannah. Their recent tests were useless. They can't..."Greg was speaking. I could hear the light sounds as they flowed into the air, blending with the natural sounds that already habited the room, yet I couldn't understand any of it. My thoughts were on Violet.I told her not to leave. She would definitely still be on my bed with my T-shirt covering her beautiful little body.Just the thought of it made my cock twitch in my pants. I couldn't wait to complete this meeting with Greg so I could return to her but before then, I would have to deal with Sam. He had dared place those fucking fingers of his on her... He wasn't even scared! The fool!I would teach him a lesson. I would teach all of them a lesson they shall tell their children. No one touches Violet. No one except me."Axel!" Greg spat and I snapped out of my thoughts and turned to look at him."Huh?" I asked and h
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
