Viktor POV

“And check on the slave. She almost fainted earlier and I can’t have that.” I growled.

I couldn’t tell if I regretted having her room so close to mine or not. There was something about her that made me feel.. odd. She made my skin feel as if it were on fire, as well as my mind. I hated that this was happening.. she’s my enemy’s daughter.. I just couldn’t figure out what it was. Or why it was happening.

I thought back to the moment I first saw her and my heart began to race.

I watched as she shoved her hand into Marvs throat furiously, and ripped it from his body. I’d never seen such violence. Well.. I take that back actually, I have. But not by a Princess. I knew the moment I walked into the room who she was.. and I knew I had to take her.

I didn’t know why.. I just knew I had to. And so I did. And I named her as my slave. See, I went to that castle looking for King Arthur. I was going to kill him and end this war once and for all.. until I saw her.

And as of today, her Father believes her virtue has been ruined. Usually the day after a slave is announced they’re “broken in.” But I couldn’t bring myself to yet, though I wanted to punish her like her Father did to me for 2 years. I wanted to rip away her innocence.. make her nothing. Make her feel pain.

Seeing her naked today had me on edge. Though the scars that littered her back had me unsettled. Who was responsible for them? Her father? My eyes soaked in the image if her body like a sponge.. I had to call in Minerva to serve me.

“My King, mm I’ve missed you.” She purred. I had her chest pressed flat against the desk, her ass in the air as I pounded into her repeatedly. I didn’t speak as I grabbed her hips and shoved myself farther into her, she gripped the desk so hard her knuckles turned white. Flashes of Violette bent over the desk.. her wet folds.. bending over to pick up her dress went through my head and I found myself releasing on Minerva’s ass just as soon as the thoughts started.

“That was.. quicker than usual, my King.” Minerva said unhappily. I rolled my eyes and threw her dress and a towel at her. She began to clean herself, but didn’t dress.

“I need silence now, Minerva.” I growled. I pulled on my boxers and sat in my chair.

“Are you sure, my King? Maybe I can give you a massage?” She purred as she came up behind me. She placed her hands on my shoulders and I stiffened. I didn’t like being touched.. in fact, I absolutely hated it.

“No, Minerva. I don’t have time.. I have a lot of paperwork to go through.” I growled as o shrugged her hands off.

“Yes, my King.” She said. She began to dress before turning to leave the room. Minerva has been a lifelong friend of mine. She was here before.. I was taken, and when I got back. Though I’ve missed her, I have some things I really need to take care of. Her presence was not appreciated at this moment.

I began shuffling through papers once again. Taxes, taxes, taxes. Where does it end? I took a deep breath and sighed, my guards voice flitted through the link.

“She’s in her room. She finished her dinner and is now asleep.” He said, referring to Violette.

“Why are you telling me this?” I growled. I don’t want to hear about her. Every time I do so many emotions start to stir in me. Not only desire and lust, but rage begins to fills my insides. The things her Father did.. I just can’t do it.

“I thought you’d want to know, my King.” He Replied. His voice was etched with fear.

“Well I don’t.” I growled and cut the link.

My mind goes crazy when I think about her. First I think about the things her Father did. Then I think about her soft skin, her long white hair like snow.. then my mind goes back to her Father and it’s just a complete war-zone raging in my head.

I tried to focus on my papers but I couldn’t. I couldn’t stop thinking about HER. I slammed down my quill and stood up. I walked over to my bed and grabbed my sweats and pulled them on.

Goddess I’m going to regret this.

I opened my chambers door and made my way down the long hall. There are only two rooms this way, mine.. and hers. I didn’t like the idea of her being so far away in the slaves quarters, so I had her placed in the Queens room. My heart raced as I walked up to her door and grabbed the handle. I slowly turned it and pushed the door open, poking my head inside to make sure she was truly asleep before slowly walking in.

I sat down on the chair that faced her bed and watched as the blanket on top of her would rise and fall as she took in breaths. Her white hair sprawled out across the pillow and her face. I felt a sense of peace around her almost. Like my mind finally stopped racing.

She turned several times, mumbling words I couldn’t understand and kicking her legs around. It made me mad, because I needed rest and she was moving quite a lot.. But it also made me wonder, what nightmare is she dreaming about this time? I used to watch her sleep when I had her in the dungeon. I couldn't keep myself from her, but I kept it to where it was unknown to her.

“No..” she cried. I sat up quickly and paid more attention. I will find out what nightmares plague this slave. The constant crying and thrashing during her sleep was beginning to infuriate me.

“Father.. no!” She cried again. I stood up and walked over to her and noticed the beads of sweat on her forehead. I gently placed the back of my hand on her head and sighed. She’s running a small fever.

“Shhh..” I tried to calm her, despite my urge to let her suffer in whatever hell she was in.

“No.. please.. I’ll be good.” She cried. I felt a tug in my heart and grazed her cheeks ever so slightly. She immediately began to calm down and lean into my hand. Her face changed from fear to peace and I couldn’t help but admire the innocent look on her face.

Even with my hatred for her and her family, I can't help but feel guilt for naming her as my slave. I soaked in her face once more before pulling my hand away and walking towards the door. I opened it quietly, trying my best not to wake her and made my way back to my room. Maybe now with a clear mind I can actually get some work done.

    Violette POVI had the strangest dream last night. Father was yelling at me after finding out that I’d let Lillian have one of my bows and a necklace.. instead of being forced to have my hands struck 400 times and my back whipped, King Viktor placed his hand on my face and took me away to be safe.I would’ve rather gotten the strikes on my hands, and I have, but it appears my dreams have other ideas.“Miss, you need to wake- oh, you’re already awake.” Beatrice spoke as she walked into my room and opened the curtains. I nodded my head and went to speak when I remembered I wasn’t allowed to. Goddess, I hate this life so much.“You need to get dressed. You’ll be joining the King for breakfast.” She said. What? Breakfast?“Here, they’ve brought your gown. He has a few rules, as we are hosting a breakfast with two other royal families. You are to sit at his feet. You are a slave, and slaves belong at the feet of their Master. You will not speak a word unless King Viktor speaks to you. And

    Violette POV “You've filled out considerably.” Richard moaned as he ran his fingers over my cleavage. “She does have a nice bust, doesn't she Sarah?” One of the women asked. I was completely dumbfounded.. how could any woman stand by and watch as another woman is treated as such? Yes, I may be a slave.. but I’m also a princess. “I guess she does.” Queen Sarah didn't sound pleased with me at all. “I mean just look at them.” he untied the string in my bust and pushed off the straps. I held the dress above my waist with my hands, hoping it wouldn't get that far. I looked the King dead in the eyes as King Richard turned me around and pushed my chest to the table and pressed his hard member against my bottom. I clenched my eyes as he pushed up my dress. The feeling of his cold hands on my skin made my stomach swirl and I didn’t know how long I could take it. Tears began falling down the side of my face and I opened my eyes, immediately connecting their gaze to Masters. The look o

    Viktor POV Where is she? I said 2 hours. She’s well over 20 minutes late. I was lenient on her because it was her first few days. But 20 minutes is well over-pushing it. “Loren,” I growled through the mind link. I was finding myself getting angrier with each moment that passed without her entering my chambers. First, she looks at me with such hate.. I don’t understand why I was so bothered, it is nothing out of the ordinary to share of slave. She should be grateful I haven’t allowed several men to take her as they see fit.Second, she snaps at me. I couldn’t believe this girl. I get that she’s not used to being a slave, that she was once a princess who’s only care in the world was what dress she was going to wear for the day.. but that’s still no excuse to speak to her master in such a way.Third.. and last of all, she’s late. She’s disobedient as ever. I will have to put her in her place. “Yes, my King. I have her.” He replied quickly. “Good. Where was she?” I asked. I was on the

    Violette POV The gardens are magnificent. The gardens at home aren’t quite as lovely as these. And all we have at home are white roses that match our family's rather distinct white hair. But this garden.. has flowers off all kinds. There’s even a section of fresh fruits and vegetables that looks absolutely delicious. “Do you enjoy your time outside?” The guard named Loren asked. I noticed he looks at me every once in a while, debating to speak or to just let me walk in peace. “Yes, it’s been a very calming time,” I said. I felt the petals of a flower between my fingers before continuing on down the path. We mainly stayed in silence, that is until I was approached by a woman I’d never seen before. “So, you’re the Kings slave?” She asked. I looked at Loren who spoke for me. I think at this moment, I’m grateful for not being able to speak to anyone besides Loren. She seemed disgusted and irritated with me. “Yes, miss Minerva.” He said. “Mind if I have a small chat with her?” she a

    Viktor POV Yet another night I find my mind racing with thoughts of her. Thinking about earlier today had my skin on fire. I should’ve never let Richard touch her. The look on her face tugged at something deep inside me and it made my head feel like it would explode. I found myself walking towards her room to watch her, I don’t know what it is.. but being around her calms the voices I was cursed with. A long time ago my family was cursed by a witch hired by Violette's family. She cursed us to live without our mates. From what we know.. we don’t have mates anymore. Or they’re just well hidden from us. My father found his mate before this happened.. so it was just my siblings and me who were cursed. And if we were to find our mates by some off chance, our children would be cursed as well. It was a sick joke that caused a lot of pain and suffering. A life without a mate is a life worth nothing. The curse makes us go crazy the longer we’re without our marked mate, and I’ve already be

    Viktor POV “Please! I’ve been waiting for weeks. Why was I brought at all if I wasn’t going to be able to see her?” The girl cried in front of me to Beatrice. “She is unwell. The King said she needs rest.” Beatrice tried to explain. “If she is truly unwell then I must be there for her. She is my best friend, even if we do have drastic differences in rank. I should be there to care for her. I can help. I’m good with medicines. I know how to sew, clean, and cook.. I can do anything if you please just let me be with her.” She begged. She was now on her knees pleading up to me. “My king if I may, I do believe having a friendly face around might help miss Violette get better quicker,” Beatrice said. “Fine. But Beatrice, Violette is only allowed to speak with you two and Loren. No a single soul else. Understand?” I asked. “Yes, my King. I will make sure of it. Thank you.” Beatrice replied. “Thank you! Thank you!” The girl cried. “Get her to Violette. And let me know when you find out

    Violette’s POV “I don’t know what he’s talking about! You must be wrong Beatrice. There’s no way I found my mate and didn’t realize it!” I cried into my hands. Did I miss the chance to run away and be with my mate before everything fell to shit? “He doesn’t like lies, Ms. Violette. He is very upset with you.” Beatrice said. They didn’t believe me.. I don’t understand how this can be possible! I’ve met several men in these last couple of months. None of them I felt the bond towards. That instant connection that every wolf feels. “I’m not lying! I have not found my mate! I wouldn’t be here if I did, I’d be with him! Your tests must be wrong. There’s no chance!” I cried. “The tests aren't wrong, Violette. You might as well just drop the charade. We know you've found your mate. You may just be lying because you're fearful the King would punish him.” Beatrice said. My eyes widened in complete shock. Everything they’re saying is absurd! “I'm not lying, Beatrice. And I hope one day I g

    Violette POV My mind was lost just thinking about the past several weeks. And I also couldn’t stop trying to come up with reasons of how Ms. Beatrice might be wrong. She did a thorough exam of me.. I knew something was wrong the moment she stopped speaking during the examination. I searched and searched and searched my mind, but I never came up with anything that might explain this “Oh, Princess. Isn’t it a fine day outside?” Lillian asked as she looked out of the castle windows. I stared along with her, watching the servants tend to the rows of flowers. “It truly is, Lillian. I do wish I was allowed out more. I feel my mind is paying for it, staring at these same walls every day.” I said. Today my fever has gone. But Beatrice told me to expect flare-ups at least twice a month. I asked her if she’d ever heard of a female wolf going into heat without finding her mate, and I was truly disappointed when she said it doesn’t happen, nor has it ever. I searched my mind for any ideas. If

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.”

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

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

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

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 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

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

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
