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
Violette POV “Congratulations, Lady Violette.. you two will make the strongest pup.” One of the maids said. “Thank you,” I said as I held my belly. She turned to walk away when I spotted Minerva in the far corner of the room glaring angrily at me. I tried my best to ignore her and grabbed Viktor’s hand. “Is everything alright? You seem uncomfortable.” He said. I shook my head and smiled. “I’m fine,” I assured him. “We can leave if you want..” he said as he looked at me. “No, we should stay. They’re here to celebrate the pup.” I said. He grabbed my hand and kissed the top of it. “I love you.” He said softly. Before I could respond, Loren walked up with a little girl holding onto his leg and a woman in his arms. “We just wanted to say our congratulations, my King.” He said with a smile. “Thank you, Loren.” He said. “This is my mate, Maisie, and my little girl, Tara.” He said. His mate, Maisie, bowed her head. “Might I say you are absolutely glowing, Princess?” She said with
Violette POV “No.” He said. I pouted my lip out. “Please..” I begged. He let out a low growl. “Go on.. beg me.” He said. He pulled me against him and ran his fingers into my hair and pulled my head back. His tongue ran across my mark before he kissed it so gently. I love the way he makes me feel. “Please. Viktor.. I want you to whip me.. you know I love it.. it gets me so wet.” I begged. “Mm..” he moaned. He sucked on my mark and I saw stars. “Which one?” He asked as we looked at the many different whips he had laying neatly in his desk drawer. My eyes ran across them.. they all seem exciting but one in particular..I knew.. “This one,” I said as I pointed at a long flat one with spikes on it. He looked at me wide-eyed. “Violette, I don’t know..” he began to shake his head. “I’ll beg,” I said as I looked up at him. His lips curled into a smirk. “You don’t have to beg.. but you will be begging me to let you cum.” He said. He picked up the whip and grabbed my hand. He led me
Violette POV “Viktor.. I don’t know.” I said as he pulled me towards the grey door. “I should’ve already brought you in here.” He said softly. He reached for the handle.. my heart was in my throat. “It’s nothing bad.. it’s just very personal. You’re my mate.. so I should share everything with you.” He said. He looked at me and pushed open the door. My heart sank in my chest at what I saw. “Viktor..” I said softly. It took him a lot of courage to bring me.. of all people in here. “These are just.. some of my sibling's things. Pictures, their favorite toys, it was once my little sibling's nursery.” He said softly. My eyes filled with tears when I saw two small urns sitting on a table in the corner with their paintings hung above them. “Viktor.. I shouldn’t be in here.” I whispered. “Why not? You didn’t do it. Your father did. And I won’t punish you for it anymore. Besides, I was thinking I could move this stuff out and make it our pup's nursery..” he said. I looked at him wide-eye
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
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
