The Princess Slave 9. You are not my mate
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
The Princess Slave 10. She lied to me
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
The Princess Slave 11. Watch your tone, Slave.
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
The Princess Slave 12. Come, Lillian.
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
The Princess Slave 13. Only because you insist.
Violette POV We spent an hour picking weeds and grooming the plants. We removed all the dead flowers and leaves, watered them, then finished by sprinkling something on them that Ms. Beatrice told us to. The feeling of being watched never went away.. it’s like every move I was making was being watched closely. It made my heart race fast, and I’d find myself at several moments having to stop to take deep breaths, slowly looking around to see if I could spot anyone but I never could. “Lunch is ready.” Ms. Beatrice called. Lillian and I stood up from the floors and made our way over to the servants eating area. I dried my hands against my uniform and was handed a plate by the kitchen staff. I nodded my head and smiled gratefully and he smiled back. Once Lillian got her food we took seats by the far back of the room. I didn’t want to sit near many people. “Is that the King's slave?” I heard one of them whispering to the other. “Yeah, I hear he caught her being broken in by another ma
The Princess Slave 14. I must go
Viktor POV “I’m saying, Arthur’s second in command was seen around the borders yesterday. He’s snooping around.” Loren said. “Do you think he’d be stupid enough to sneak in?” I asked, though I think I already know the answer to that. “Yes, I do. You know how Gregor is. I say we have a team of warriors searching for him. We’ll find him in no time and you can decide what to do with him.” He replied. Could he possibly be coming for Violette? Try to steal her away? “I want guards at Violette’s door at all times starting now. I don’t want her escaping, or thinking she can try.” I growled. Her name left a bitter taste in my mouth. “Get a team ready, show them pictures of Gregor. Have them search every square inch of the castle, the yard.. I want him found and held in the dungeon until I’m ready to question him.” I said. He nodded his head and waited to be excused. “You may go,” I said. He bowed before turning around and leaving the room. Out of nowhere, I felt the sudden need for ai
The Princess Slave 15. That’ll be fun
Violette POV “What happened?” I asked Lillian as I lay in bed. “I don’t think we should talk about this right now, Princess. You need to get better.” She said nervously. Something about the way she was acting told me I wasn’t going to like whatever it was. “I remember lying in the tub, and then you came back in, and then it’s blurry from there. Did I fall in the bath?” I asked and she shook her head. I was trying to piece together whatever happened.. it’s there on the tip of my tongue but for some reason I couldn’t remember it. “No.. and I didn’t come back.” She said. “Yes, you.. you were massaging my scalp then.. then you.. shoved my head under the water..” I looked at her warily as it slowly came back to me. “No, Princess! It wasn’t me, I would never! It was Gregor!” She shrieked in horror. “Gregor? But he would never do that to Father.” I shook my head. I felt a sharp pain in my chest and held my hand to it, Lillian noticed instantly and got up to make my herb drink. “Violet
The Princess Slave 16. Always
Violette POV A couple weeks later “You really are good at this!” Ms Beatrice praised my writing skills. We are working on invitations for a ball they have every year. The previous queen came up with the idea and they haven’t done it since the royal family death. But, this year the King thought it would be a good idea to help the Kingdom go somewhat back to normal. “I used to write all the time. I always had so much to say but now i can never think of anything.” I said as I followed the pre-made invitation. “Do you have dreams or nightmares?” She asked. “Always.” I let out a small chuckle. “Write about those. Sometimes, our dreams tell us things that we usually cant see. I write about mine and It lifts weight off my shoulders daily.” She said with a smile. She was being nice to me, something I’ve realized she does more often. I think maybe she’s warming up to me, but I still have doubts. “Maybe, I will.” I replied. I’ve been writing on invitations for hours, my hands cramped

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.”
The Princess Slave 93. A good Queen
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
The Princess Slave 92. I look like a princess!
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
The Princess Slave 91. Colette
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
The Princess Slave 90. She’s perfect
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
The Princess Slave 88. He’s here
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
The Princess Slave 87. Where’s Arthur?
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
The Princess Slave 86. He’s coming
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
