Chapter 34: Violet's POVThe tension between Hilda and I had reduced to a level that was no longer suffocating but I preferred to keep to myself not wanting to say anything that could anger her."How was your day?" She asked.Great. I guess she didn't mind speaking to me then."It was fine," I chirped, trying to sound as calm as possible."Did the king come around?" She asked.I stole a look her way as her question settled in my head. Was she trying to get something out of me?"Huh?" She urged and I realized I hadn't answered her yet "Oh, no... He didn't come."Her face turned solemn at my response. "I noticed he hasn't been leaving his office for a while now. I am worried."I pursed my lips as I tried to mull over her words. Was it not normal for him to be in his office?I mean, I thought he was trying to avoid me after what had happened between us but who knew? Maybe it was something else. Something much greater than me.As my thoughts ran over, a soft gasp escaped my lips as a ter
Chapter 35: Axel's POVI sat in my office, drinking the third bottle of wine for the day. I made sure it wasn't berry based —anything but those.I convinced myself that it was that dreadfully intoxicating taste of berries that had made me do what I did to Violet.I couldn't even face her.She was a princess. Human or not, I should have never taken her like that. She deserved better. I should have given her better.Of all the things she did for me when I was still with her parents, I shouldn't have paid her back like this."But you liked it," my wolf whispered, causing a shift in the chaos that was in my mind.The flashbacks suddenly flooded me. Her body felt just like I had imagined and more.Her skin was the softest I had ever felt and she tasted like the same fucking fruits that I condemned for my actions."Fuck!" I hissed as my cock started throbbing again.I should probably go fuck one of my women before my stupid cock led me back to Violet.Violet...She was torturing me even now
Chapter 36: Axel's POVMy fingers drummed continuously on the wooden desk in front of me as I thought of the best approach I could take that wouldn't involve me mating with Violet.I have been on it for days now but nothing came to mind.Making her my mate was too high a status. She didn't deserve that much honor!"Why? Because her parents are murderers? Or because you are too scared to admit it?" My wolf whispered.I rolled my eyes and drummed harder on the desk. The rhythm helped to calm my nerves and ignore the voice of my wolf."Her parents are the ones who hurt you, not her." My wolf added.I stopped drumming abruptly as my wolf's silly words brought a perfect solution to my problems. But first, I had to ease off the pressure in my loins so I didn't do something stupid when I went to inform Violet of my decision.I got off my chair and walked out of my office. I headed straight to the room I used for my concubines. Before walking into the room, I instructed the guards to get me,
Chapter 37: Violet's POV My mother's voice echoed in my head and I couldn't stop thinking about it. The widow had also gone to my parents. She had gone to Savannah and she came to me too.This just proved to me that she had other motives. She was just using us —well she wasn't using me at all and I wouldn't let her use my parents either.As soon as the rays of the morning sun filled my room, I walked out and went in search of her. She mentioned her room was just down the hallway from mine, so she should be close.I walked briskly but confidently to avoid being questioned by the guards patrolling the area.The wing was for special criminals, if I could say that. If you were a suspect or the King just didn't know what to do with you, they brought us here.I got to the last door and knocked, waiting for whoever was inside to respond. If it wasn't the Widow, then I would check the one opposite it.The moment the door opened, her voice filled my ears as she stood before me with a white ve
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 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
