Violette POV “Dear Goddess, Violette! You’re burning up!” Sylvia’s voice was shaky and loud. “Already? She wasn’t running a fever just a few minutes ago. Alright, Violette. Take this, it’s stronger than the other mixture I gave you.” Ms. Beatrice said. She handed me a cup of hot liquid. I swear to the Moon Goddess the smell of it singed my nose hairs. I quickly chugged the contents. It burned my throat with a force and made me choke out. Lillian placed her hand on my stomach to console me, but I writhed in pain at her touch. My stomach is on fire. “What’s wrong?” Ms. Beatrice asked. She lifted up my dress and gasped loudly. Lillian looked and then her face turned white from whatever she was seeing. “Goddess.. why is she so bruised?” Sylvia asked. “Bruised? What do you mean?” I asked as I tried to move to see. I fell backward in pain. What is wrong with me? “Give me a moment.. I think.. I think I might know exactly what this is. I’ve only seen it one other time.” Ms. Beatrice qui
Viktor POV “Minerva, you may go,” I said. She looked at me with a sad expression on her face. “But.. but I just got back. I was hoping we could spend the day together.” She said. I shook my head. “I have business to take care of,” I said. “What? Like your slave?” She growled. My eyes met hers and I snarled. “You have no business speaking of my slave.” I snapped. “Viktor.. we’ve been best friends for years. Before you were.. captured.. we talked about killing that girl almost every day. Why haven’t you done it already? Why do you treat her so..” I cut her off. “So.. what? She’s a slave. I don’t treat her like anything but that. Not that it’s any of your concern.. she’s not your slave. She’s mine.” I said. “Have you even broken her in? I see her walking around all the time with a smile on her face. From what I can tell you don’t treat her like a slave. I mean.. you allow her to speak to others!” She snapped. “Who have you seen her talking to?” I growled. “That girl.. and the
Violette POV My eyes fluttered open and I looked around. I saw Lillian and Sylvia sitting beside the bed chatting in low voices. Their eyes snapped in my direction when I winced in pain as I tried to move. “Violette!” Sylvia’s voice was shaky and breathless. “Sylvia.. why are you being so loud? I’m right here, and I’m not deaf.” I asked. A small smile formed on my face, despite my throbbing headache. “I’m sorry. I was worried.. I didn’t think you’d wake up so soon. Ms. Beatrice found something that will make the pain almost nonexistent now that she knows what’s causing it.” She said. She helped me sit up and Ms. Beatrice came into my sight. She handed me a cup and without hesitation, and I quickly dumped the contents down my throat. Almost instantly I began to feel so much better. “I told the king..” Ms. Beatrice said. My heart thudded hard and fast in my chest. “You.. what? Loren gave me a week.” I began to cry, I was terrified of his reaction and I wasn’t sure why. “I didn’
Violette POV He threw me on the floor of his chambers and I groaned softly. I hated how he was so much stronger than me. Stupid Lycan strength. “You broke a rule. Not only did you speak to someone I haven’t allowed.. you attacked him. Twice. Then.. you speak to me like you’re my superior. You’re not. You’re my slave and I will not tolerate your disobedience and disrespect.” He growled. Veins bulged out of his neck and forehead in anger as he looked at me. “Y-yes.. master,” I said breathlessly. Now that I’ve calmed down from the situation.. I’ve come to my senses.. I realize how big of a mistake I’ve made. But what else was I supposed to do? Let him attack Sylvia? I just hope he doesn’t actually intend to break me in.. “Go to the desk.” He growled. I pushed myself off the ground, his eyes on me the entire time making goosebumps rise on my skin. I slowly made my way to his desk.. I didn’t know what was to come. He said he would be breaking me in.. but why would he do it on the desk
Violette POV Good Goddess. Why do I feel so good? He pulled his finger back, then slid it right back in. My toes curled at the sensation as he curled his finger inside me. My thighs were slick with my juices, and he let out a low growl of approval. With his foot, he pushed my legs farther apart. I rested on my elbows, my heart thudding hard in my chest with every movement of his hand. He slid his finger out, then ran it along my slit until he found that spot that made my legs shake. I was never taught much about.. sex. With my mother gone, the only women I had around were the maids. And only a few of them had found their mates.. and we were never THAT close.. close enough to talk about these things. I didn’t know words for things other than virtue, breasts, core, and what I’d heard a few men call a virtue.. a pussy. But I’d always thought that word was.. odd, and I’d never referred to my virtue as that before. I wish I’d known more. He rubbed in circles making my legs shake and I
Violette POV He stilled inside me, I felt his cock pulsing as he filled me up. If he were my mate, I would surely get pregnant. But he isn’t. So I have no worries. His hand loosened from my hair, his breaths were loud and shaky. I almost couldn’t even keep myself standing, my legs are so weak. I leaned down on the desk, holding myself up by my hands as my legs shook. “Stand up.” He demanded. His voice wasn’t brutal, but I could tell he was displeased. Did he not enjoy himself? He seemed to have.. “Y-yes.. Mas-Master.” My voice was shaky and I almost couldn’t even form the words. As I stood up, I stumbled.. almost falling completely over but his hands snaked around my waist and he held me up. He pressed himself against my back, I could feel and hear his heart racing in his chest. I was lightheaded, and the room around me was spotty and black in certain spots. I’d wish that would go away. “Are you okay?” He asked in a concerned tone. I raised my eyebrows in shock that he would eve
Viktor’s POV I stared into her teary eyes and sighed. “Yes, but don’t think I won’t punish you for trying to hide something from me again,” I said. She nodded her head and stepped away. I was angry with her for certain.. but I knew they were hiding something, and with her bruising, I knew it had something to do with that. When I called for Beatrice, I saw the hesitation in her eyes before she told me. I wanted to rip Violette up and punish her, but I knew it would be of no use. There are a lot of things I can tolerate, but lying is not one of them.. I just couldn’t bring myself to punish her, as her mate is already doing that. “You may leave if you wish,” I said. If she wasn’t feeling up to walking down the hall, I suppose I wouldn’t be against her sleeping in the floor. It’s not like it was just bare concrete, there’s a fluffy rug and a pillow down there, and I gave her my comforter to cover up with. So.. it’s not entirely uncomfortable. “If I wish?” She asked. She looked back a
Violette POV I didn’t think to look back as I quickly made my way to my chambers. I took a deep breath, inhaling my scent mixed with Masters. It’s true, I indeed smell just like him. I opened the door and poked my head in, spotting Lillian sitting on the bed chewing at her fingernails, and Sylvia curled up under the blanket fast asleep. “Goddess, there you are! We’ve worried about you all day.. you never came back, we assumed.. well, we were afraid he killed you.” She whispered in a frantic tone. “I’m fine.. Lillian. I got a punishment.. and it was too much on my body and I passed out. But I’m fine, do not worry.” I said. She quickly shuffled over to me, peeking at my gown trying to get a look of the damage. It hurt like hell, indeed. But I’d enjoyed every second of the pain. “Goddess, you smell like him.” She gasped. “I need a bath, Lillian.” I said softly. She nodded her head and slowly opened the door to fetch hot water. I quickly undressed, my body is so sore.. my.. virtu
Violette POV “I now pronounce you husband and wife. King Viktor, you may kiss your lovely bride.” The minister said. Viktor didn’t hesitate to pull me into his arms. He placed a hand behind my neck and the other on my lower back and pressed his soft lips against mine. “I love you.” He whispered against me. “And I love you.” I smiled. He picked me up and spun me around as the room around us cheered happily. “Now, per the requests of the King, I will be crowning Princess Violette as our Queen, now.” The minister said. He walked up to me and I kneeled. “You will make a great Queen, lady Violette. Long may you reign.” He said as he placed the crown on my head. He held his hand out for me but before I could grab it, Viktor growled. “Mine.” He growled. The minister chuckled nervously as he backed away. Viktor held his hand out for me and I grabbed it. The crowd burst into laughter and cheers at the sight of their new Queen. “Should we run? I can’t wait to get you out of this gown.”
Violette POV “You may kiss the bride.” The pastor said. Cedric pulled her in for a kiss and the crowd went crazy. Little Colette cooed contently in my arms, Viktor holding my hand tightly. “The tiara suits her well.” Viktor said. I gave him a smile. “It does, doesn’t it?” I asked. He nodded in approval. “We should go, the fireworks are about to start.” He said as he got up. I’d just announced Lillian as the ruler, and she’s already made a change. I love it. I walked over to Beatrice and Sylvia. “Let me take her. You both go enjoy the fireworks.” Beatrice said with a smile. I handed Colette to her and she quickly took off with Sylvia. “Ready?” He asked. I nodded. “More than ready.” I said. We followed Cedric and Lillian out of the main door along with the crowd of people. As if on cue, the fireworks began. Viktor pulled me to the front of the crowd as we watched.. a bright smile plastered on his face. “I love you.” He said softly. “I love you.” I replied. I cupped his face
Violette POV “Oh, Princess.. I’m so glad you’re awake.” Lillian ran up to the bed and held me tightly. “She’s no longer a princess.” Viktor said. Lillian pulled away and looked at me, then her eyes widened. “Your father.. now you’re the Queen of Dubois werewolves.” She said. I let out a shaky sigh. “After the coronation.. yes.” I said. “And that will be tomorrow.. if you’re up for it. They want to make you Queen as soon as possible.” Viktor said. I looked at him and nodded. “How will we take care of two kingdoms.. they’re so far apart.” I said. “We.. we will probably have to appoint someone to do so until our pups come of age.” Viktor said. My eyes drifted to Lillian. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked. “You could do it.. right? Just rule in my stead until our pups can take over?” I asked. Her eyes widened and she shook her head. “Violette.. I don’t know..” she said softly. “Who else? I trust you so much.. I know you will do right by my kingdom. It’s no
Violette POV Where am I? What happened? My mind flashed with memories and my eyes shot open. My pup.. where’s my pup? My hands rolled over my empty belly. Where’s my pup? “Viktor? Viktor!” I cried frantically. I heard quick footsteps and a door opened, Viktor ran out of his office and over to me. “Violette? You’re awake! Goddess.. I was afraid..” he cupped my face and looked at me. He doesn’t seem to have gotten much sleep. His black hair was tousled.. his dark bags under his brown eyes.. “What happened? Where’s the pup?” I cried. My fingers kept running over my empty, flat belly. I curse werewolf healing. “She’s okay! She’s perfect Violette.” He said softly. He wiped my tears away with his thumbs. “She?” I asked. “You don’t remember?” He responded. “I do.. but everything after my.. Father is blurry.” I said. He visibly tensed at the mention of my Father. “You.. remember what happened? That you.. killed him?” He asked. I nodded. “Where is she? I want to see her.. I need
Viktor POV “I’ll kill everyone if she’s not okay!” I growled through mind link as I followed her scent. Loren and several others followed closely behind as our claws dug into the earth. “It was Boris! We couldn’t find him anywhere and servants said they saw him leave in the direction of your chambers. It has to be him.” Enzo bellowed. I felt a sharp pain in my cheek and growled.. she’s being hurt! I have to get to her.. I have to get to them.. I ran as fast as I possibly could.. I could feel her fear.. her pain.. being marked linked me to her, same with her mark.. I searched for Arthur.. but he was nowhere to be found. I knew.. I just knew when I couldn’t find him that he was after her. After half an hour of running, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach and tumbled to the ground. “Ah!” I growled as I shifted back into human form. I held my stomach but there was no blood.. Violette.. I gathered myself but felt rage like you wouldn’t believe.. hurt.. pain.. sorrow.. what is happe
Violette POV “Look at my daughter.. finally able to do things that are necessary,” Father said as he walked towards me. His white hair flashed brightly in my sight as the rest of him was blurry. I let out a scream of pain as another wave of contractions rolled through me. “You know.. after all these years.. I can’t believe you were strong enough to survive two attempts on your life.” He said. I tried to move away from him as he walked towards me.. but I was just too weak.. “Fuck you,” I growled. “That’s no way to treat your father.. I took care of you. Made you who you are.” He growled lightly as he kneeled in front of me. “Why.. are you doing this?” I asked through my heavy breaths. My gown was soaking in my blood.. I tried to hold my hand against it but I don’t think it is doing much. “You know why, my sweet daughter..” he said as he tried to reach for my face. I jerked my head back and held the blood-soaked, silver knife between us. He let out a chuckle. “You won’t.” He sai
Violette POV My head was pounding when I opened my eyes.. I was someplace.. unfamiliar. My heart raced frantically in my chest as memories came back to me.. Boris.. Minerva.. “You’re awake.” Minerva’s voice made me snap my head to the side. I reached up to feel my head soaked in my blood. “What have you done?” I growled. I stood up and looked at her like she was mentally insane. “What was needed to be done. I made a deal.” She said. “What do you mean? What deal?” I growled in response. “Your life for Viktor’s.” She said as plainly as ever. My eyes widened in fright. “Wh-what?” I asked. “I found a way to get in touch with your father. He was all ears when I said I could help him get to you. You know he wants you dead.. right? Just like many others.” She said. She stood up from a chair and walked over to me.. I backed away but stopped when my back hit a wall. “He was so tired of his people continuously failing to kill you. And truth be told.. I was tired of it too. You see.. V
Viktor POV I didn’t want to leave her without making sure she was safe in the hands of Loren and the others.. but they’d arrived quicker than I’d originally thought they would. I stared back at Violette.. I knew she was terrified. She held her swollen belly in her hands with tears in her eyes.. I didn’t want to leave.. I didn’t want to.. but Goddess help me if I don’t keep them both safe. I ran through the castle, seeing most of my men had already left to fight. The second I get my hands on Arthur.. I will make him pay for everything. For Violette.. my brother.. my sister and mother.. my father... for everyone he had ever tortured.. I will make sure that he suffers until one of us has fallen. The sight that was unfolding in front of me as I walked outside was awful. There were shifted wolves attacking my Lycans left and right.. but even with my men being Lycans.. there were just too many wolves. I rushed to the battle and shifted mid-air. Finding my first target, I lunged at the
Violette POV I watched nervously as Viktor paced back and forth across the room.. Cedric’s last letter was in his hand as he read it word for word for the millionth time. “It’s been a few days since we’ve heard from Cedric..” Viktor said. I placed a hand on my belly.. taking in a deep breath and sat down. “He’s coming..” I said. My voice shook as I spoke.. I knew this day would come. Father would’ve never agreed for me to be Viktor’s mate. And to carry his child? I knew he wouldn’t take it very lightly. “Do not worry, you know the plan. We will get you and the pup to safety while I take his life.” Viktor said. Cedric reported that Father was gathering men before his reports had gone silent.. and from what he heard from our inside men, Father wishes to kill us himself. “I cannot bear it.. what if he kills you? What then? Our pup and I will be on the run, and everyone left here will die.” I said. “Violette, do not think like that. I will kill him. And you both will be safe.” He s
