Violette POV I crawled into my bed and bawled my eyes out. Two days.. two days in that cold dungeon. No food.. no water.. just the cold, damp floor. How could he? And then.. the pains.. goddess they were awful. I knew I would surely die. I jumped up when my door opened and I put my shaking hands up as I squeezed my eyes shut. “Please..” I cried. I didn’t want him to hurt me anymore.. “Violette, dear..” Beatrice called for me. “Please go..” I cried. I held my legs tightly to my chest as I sobbed. “Let me check on you.. please.. you gave us all a fright.” She said softly. “And who’s fault is that? LEAVE.” I growled. I was on the verge of shifting I was so angry.. so hurt.. “Let me check you and then I’ll leave. You will not have to see me again for as long as you wish.” She said. “No,” I growled. “Think of the pup, Violette.” She said. I looked up at her in rage. How dare she continue on with the charade? “There is no pup,” I growled. “Violette.. your eyes.. you need t
Violette POV It’s been a few days since I’ve been out of the dungeon. I still feel sick, but I’ve not eaten anything to throw up. Every time someone tries to come in to feed me, I begin to shift.. it’s not like I can control it.. it just happens. I don’t want anyone near me. Though I’ve forced myself to drink water, I can’t stomach the thought of food so I don’t bother. I crawled out of bed after Enzo brought in water for my bath, and I stood over the tub and stared at the water. I will bathe myself. I looked down at the ripped gown on me and untied the string between my sore breasts. I looked in the mirror across from me and noticed they were bigger as well. I held my hands on my belly and sighed. “There’s no way,” I whispered to myself. Loren had thankfully replaced my door, but unfortunately, there were no locks just as Viktor requested. I was still very.. very angry. But I’d calmed myself down enough to think straight. I wanted to forget everything. To forget Viktor and his
Violette POV Snowball began to gallop faster and Viktor held on tight. It made me smirk to know that he was nervous. “Do you have to make him go so fast?” Viktor asked. I could feel his heart racing against my back, I really was scaring him. “I can make him go faster if you want,” I said. “You think this is funny, don’t you?” He asked. I nodded. “Oh, yes. Very,” I said. He let out a growl behind me but ignored it. He wants to ride? I’ll show him a ride. I pushed Snowball to go faster and he did. “Violette, stop it,” Viktor said. “You stop it,” I growled in response. He reached around me and pulled on the string between my breasts and my gown began to slide down. I let out a growl as I slowed Snowball down to a stop so I could fix it. “I hate you,” I growled. “No, you don’t.” He said. Before I could tie the string he grabbed my sore breast in his hand and I winced. “Would you stop? That hurts.” I growled. “I thought you liked pain?” He asked in a husky tone. “Not from you
Violette POV “Come on. Let’s take Snowball and go home.” He pulled away from my lips and grabbed my hand. I tried to pull away but he held onto me tightly. He pulled me to Snowball and helped me climb onto him, and I held out my arm to help him. He grabbed it with a soft smile and hopped on. “I’m sorry, Snowball. I know you have a name.” Viktor said as he scratched Snowball’s belly. “You should be. He’s a good boy.” I said. He grabbed my hips quickly as Snowball began to move. “Please, don’t make him run.” He said. He leaned his chin on my shoulder and took a deep breath. “It’ll be dark before we get home then,” I said. “I’m okay with that.” He whispered. Chills ran down my spine when he did. And I think he felt my shiver.. “Cold?” He asked. “No,” I said. I turned us around and made Snowball go just a bit faster, but not run. “I really am sorry, Violette.” He said softly. “I hope so.. because I don’t think I can deal with that again. I’d rather die than feel that way,” I sa
Violette POV As we walked down the hall he grabbed my hand and stopped me. “No. You’re staying in my chambers from now on.” He said. I didn’t want to, and I tried to pull myself away but his only response was a growl. “Viktor,” I began. “You either stay in my very big, warm, and comfortable bed, or we can sleep in your smaller, not so comfortable bed. Your choice.” He said. I let out a huff, annoyed with his refusal to leave me be. “Fine.” I growled. He smiled triumphantly and pulled me into his chambers, it looked very different from the last time I’d seen it. “I.. see you did some redecorating,” I said as I looked at the messed-up wall. Chunks of concrete lay on the floor and the wall was broken and cracked in different spots. “Yeah.. I’ll have that fixed.” He said. The smell of bacon hit my nose and surprisingly.. I didn’t gag. “Are we good so far?” He asked as he walked me over to his bed. “I haven’t thrown up yet.. so I would think so,” I said. A smirk crossed his fac
Viktor POV She slept soundly in my arms as I replayed the events of last night.. over and over. I marked her.. I couldn’t believe it. I’ve checked her mark several times yet it stays in the place I’ve put it.. I had already been told she was my mate.. but to see my mark stay on her made it more real for me. All of the guilt washed over me like I was being waterboarded. It was almost smothering me, but with her in my arms.. I could breathe. I didn’t sleep at all last night. I was too afraid that I’d wake up and her mark would be gone. But it never vanished. She’s mine.. she’s really my mate. She groaned as she moved, making my heart race fast in my chest. Will she remember? Surely, she will. She didn’t seem fazed by it.. except for when it made her scream in pleasure.. fuck, Viktor. Stop or you’ll get hard again. I tried my best not to outright tell her she was my mate. I knew she would never believe me. But once she sees her mark.. everything will fall into place. Just as the se
Violette POV My mind raced around constantly.. I’ve even tried to pinch myself on several occasions to see if maybe I was sleeping and this was all a dream.. but I never woke. Viktor’s eyes glaze over and the door opens. “Good afternoon,” Beatrice says. She had a smile on her face as if she was trying her best to contain her excitement.. and even if I’m still upset, from her lying to me.. she was right. “Good afternoon, Beatrice,” Viktor said. I didn’t look at her as I held my hands tightly in my lap. “Just coming to check and then I will be out of your hair.” She said. She walked over to me and I finally looked up at her. “I’m sorry.. Violette. I know you’re very upset with me but I was.. I was only trying to do the best for you. For you both.” She said. I let out a huff as I stood up and wrapped my arms around her. “I’m sorry, too,” I said softly. She held me tightly. “You have nothing to be sorry for. You weren’t lying, and you had every right to be angry with me..” she sa
Violette POV It’s been a month since I found out about Viktor being my mate.. and well, everything else.. my nausea has gone away, and my belly has grown into a round bump. It’s not the biggest.. but you can definitely tell there’s a pup in there. Viktor has been so kind and gentle.. taking care of my every need and want without asking any questions or putting up any fight. And today.. today he will be announcing my release. I’m mainly concerned of my Father.. It would also seem my Father has married.. so getting to him would be far more difficult than we originally thought. Unless he plans to attack. And in case, we have a plan to hide me until my Father has fallen. Viktor believes that with the announcement of our mating, and the pup.. that my people at home will turn against my Father, making it easier for us to get to him. Cedric and Lillian have gone to my previous home to keep a close eye on my father's Kingdom.. holding secret gatherings for any of my father's subjects wh
