Chapter 76:Violet’s POVA cloud of confusion settled within me as I tried to understand what she had just said; “Mom, what are you talking about?” I asked my voice barely above a whisper.My heart was beating at a low pace, afraid to race too fast so as not to increase the dizziness I was already feeling. “What night are you talking about?”“The night she took you from her sister,” my father’s deep voice echoed through the cell as he turned to face.My eyes moved from my mom to my dad as I tried to interpret what they were saying even from their looks, but their frowns and anger told me nothing.“I don’t understand…” I whispered.“I will make it easy for you. I will tell you the story. I really wished that it didn’t come down to this and you could be a very useful tool to us but like they say, a rotten apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree which produced it…”My heart was no longer beating at a slow pace. My hands were trembling, and my stomach felt funny. I had to grip the bars o
Chapter 77:Axel's POV"They were in the southern lands yesterday and so far there has been no sign of her," Nathan said scribbling into the map. "This means that she is no longer in our kingdom —if at all she is alive...""I understand what you are saying but I want no stones left unturned. I don't care where she is or what happened to her... I just need her body, dead or alive." I hissed.I wasn't about to give up on the search for Willow, after everything she had done. She had dared to insult me and my parents, I wanted her to realize how much of a mistake she made by thinking she could ever rule these lands."Okay, we'll work on that..." Nathan mumbled.We were both in my office, reviewing the reports and tracking Greg's progress in the search. Greg had been out for days now and deep down, I knew that Nathan just wanted his father to come home especially since the search wasn't yielding the kind of results I had hoped for.Greg had almost completed the entire stretch of the kingd
Chapter 78:Violet's POVThe news that Sky had just given me caused a stir deep within me. I didn't know if I should smile or scream.My hands went to my stomach and I began to caress it with excitement.It was the best news that I could have received just after getting news that my parents weren't actually mine.Just at the point when I thought I had lost everything. When I thought I didn't have a family anymore, I got a child.—and not just with anyone, with Axel. The man that fired up my heart.My smile was growing bigger with every passing second and I could no longer control it as large butterflies fluttered all over me and I wanted to jump as the emotions overflowed."Do you know what this means?" Sky exclaimed.Her voice pulled me out of my head and I looked up at her face. She was carrying the same excited expression as I was —maybe even more.I nodded at her question and she rushed towards me with a hug."We are all going to get vindicated. The King's Aunt has gone to speak
Chapter 79:Axel's POVMy heart was bleeding and thumping so hard from the betrayal Violet had caused my mind to become infested with only one thought.Sam, the slave.He had to be responsible for this abomination.I had taken her virginity but she must have gone to Sam when I wasn't watching. She must have given all that beautiful body to him. She had dared give what belonged to me, to someone as low as a fucking slave.Her punishment was going to be slow and painful but the fool who had inserted their twisted cock into her folds was not going to get such mercy.I marched with the force of a thousand wolves just like my father before me and hunted down the castrated fool.All slaves and maids had created a little camp for themselves in the lower floors of the mansion just before the dungeon and I knew that was where I was going to find the bastard.As I walked, a few guards noticed my expression and started filling behind me. They had no idea where I was going but the menace in my au
Chapter 80:Violet's POVI was still too shocked to move from my position on the ground long after Axel had left. I couldn't make sense of anything that had just happenedMy body was still trembling as everything started feeling feverish even.At some point, Sky ran out of the ward and I was left with Emily... Or maybe I was even alone. I couldn't tell.My body felt disconnected; broken; battered and degraded all at once.Tears continued streaming on my face but no sound left my mouth as my throat had gone too dry from what had just transpired.Every sound around me seemed too distant. I even felt out of place. Like my soul was leaving my body.How could what I had thought to be a blessing turning into a nightmare? How could my perfect picture become this horrible?Was I cursed?How could I be blessed with a child and at the same time, lose the one who had given it to me?How was I—"Violet..." Emily's sharp voice called and I instantly turned to look at her as my thoughts paused."Wh
Chapter 81:Violet’s POVMy soul was no longer in my body and my bones abandoned me, leaving only my skin; and even this couldn’t stand the weight of the pain. I buckled to the ground and cried my eyes out, watching as my world became distorted.My parents were moved off the podium and dragged back to their dungeon. While I remained there, I was too numb to move.I felt Axel’s eyes burn into my skin as he walked pass me, the feeling further adding to the bitterness I felt.My life became totally meaningless…Rain started to fall but I couldn’t care less. My tears mixed with the rain, and they descended to my soaked body. I regretted the day I had raised my head and looked at Axel back at Aaliyah’s place. I should have continued hiding away. I should have never run to Axel…My thoughts trailed off as the rain over my head suddenly came to a stop and I blinked my eyes to find that I was now under an umbrella.“Violet!” Sky called as she appeared before me.There was pain in her eyes an
Chapter 82:Violet's POVSky and other maids came to hold me back as soon as Axel left the place.I cried so much that my head became a beating drum on my body.My voice was totally gone and the only sounds that left my body were the occasional sniffles.Ever since the revolution, I had always been alone but I had it in the back of my head that my parents were alive somewhere —now having to lose them both in one day...Right in front of me, cut through my heart so deeply, I thought I would die.Life was more than meaningless because even tears failed me at a point. All I could hear was the whispers of comforting words Sky was saying but I refused to listen to her.I remained there on the ground for six hours. Everyone started leaving as soon as Axel did and I turned my head to Skylar."Can I... Can I bury their bodies?" I stuttered in a barely audible voice.Her face was bathed in worry and my question only seemed to add more to it."I would have to ask someone..." She said and then g
Chapter 83:Violet's POVI pulled my emotions together and took deep breaths as I navigated the small corridors till I got to the end which would take me to Emily.It felt like it had been years since I saw her and I couldn't help but feel fear crawling through me.But I summoned up courage and continued walking till I got to her section of the mansion.I raised my hand to knock on the door but it flew open and my eyes met with her husband's Monty..."Oh, it's the cheating princess," he hissed, loud enough for whoever was in the room to hear him.My hands balled into fists and all I wanted to do was to throw some nicely packed punch into his face but I knew that would be going overboard, especially considering what the current situation was."Please, I am here for Emily... Is she in?" I asked, trying to sound as politely as possible despite the turmoil within me."Oh, how sad... You do girls now?" A snicker escaped his lips and it took every ounce of control in my body to keep from sl
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
