Violets and Ash Chapter 113
Violet’s P.O.V. I scurried back to my room like the coward I was, locking myself away until late into the afternoon when Olive came over for a girl’s night. Hael had left the house, speeding off in one of his many flashy cars to goddess knows where. I’d just so happened to be looking out the window when he emerged. It wasn’t like I’d heard the front door slam and ran to peek out. No, not at all. That would be creepy—borderline obsessive. I committed myself to spending the weekend with Olive and focusing only on what girly activities we had planned and not the dark-eyed, temperamental, Alpha-to-be who’s taste I still couldn’t get out of my mouth. Which is exactly why when my phone rang in the middle of Olive and I painting our nails, I didn’t get up and sprint over to it the way I wanted to. I jogged. Lightly. A sting of disappointment pierced my chest when it wasn’t Hael’s name that flashed on the screen, but an unknown number. I’d almost hit ignore but decided otherwise at th

Hael’s P.O.V.I slipped out of the house before Olive arrived, dead set on breaking into my father’s private office. With him out of town for a few days, I wouldn’t get a better opportunity than this.As I headed to my car, I could feel a set of curious eyes on my back. Awareness prickled over my skin along with the ghost of sparks, and I knew if I were to turn around I’d see a certain doe-eyed blonde watching me from the window.Before the emotional and physical maelstrom that was Violet could form in my head, I pushed those thoughts aside and buried them deep down.Now was not the time for this. The drive to Cole’s place was spent clearing my head. I went inside for just a few minutes, long enough for him to hand me a flash drive and explain the process of copying and transferring all of my father’s files onto it.Easy enough.I left my car parked out front of Cole’s, slipping out the back door and into the forest where I made the trek to my father’s estate on foot. Remaining in my

Violet’s P.O.V.“What do you mean you broke into your father’s office?” I blanched. The only thing running through my head was what Alpha Xavier would do if he found out. Clearly he had a hand in turning Hael into a killer, which meant he probably didn’t give a rats ass about him. No, men like Xavier cared about one thing and that was power.Hael gave me a dry look that told me he knew exactly what was going through my head. “He won’t find out.”“What if he did, though? What would he do?” I exclaimed, dialing down the panic that seeped into my voice.Hael shrugged like this entire situation was nothing new—just your average Friday night.“He’d kill me, hide the body, and make Graham his new heir.”I could feel my face turning red but this time it wasn’t from embarrassment. It was because I was two seconds away from losing my shit on one of the most dangerous people in this pack.A chuckle came from down below, on the floor where Olive was currently laying. She was on her stomach with

Violet’s P.O.V.Every single letter had a date in the upper left-hand corner, and was written in the same font and format each time. The month was first, followed by the day, then the year. They began a couple of years before my birth, and were relatively tame.Each one started out with a single compliment directed towards Evelyn. One mentioned her soulful eyes, and another brought up her smile, comparing it to a morning sunrise. I would’ve thought they were sweet letters from a secret admirer if I hadn’t already known the truth.The letters continued like clockwork, maybe one or two a year until my mother met my father. Olive handed me the one she’d been reading, her face a bit pale as she pointed at one line in particular.I see you’ve met someone, beautiful Evie. Your happiness is infectious, a beacon of light beneath your flawless skin. I’ll continue to watch from afar until the day comes where you return my love. “That’s a bit creepy.” I muttered, fighting the feeling churning i

Violet’s P.O.V.Hael ripped the phone from my hand before I could utter so much as a word.“Who the hell is this and how do you know Violet?” He snapped.The man replied just as I reached out to take the phone back. He spoke with a cool tone, as though he wasn’t at all surprised at how things had turned out. “Hael Ashford, I presume. Your reputation precedes you. Nice to finally make your acquaintance.”There was something so oddly familiar about this man’s voice. The smooth baritone and the way each word spilled seamlessly from his mouth; it cultivated a flicker of recognition that I just couldn’t place.“Wish I could agree with you, but you still haven’t told me who you are.” Hael bit back.Olive and I exchanged nervous glances while Cole leaned in, an eager expression on his face.“Let me speak to Violet and I’ll do more than just tell you my name.”Hael clenched his jaw, passing me the phone. Whoever this guy was, he clearly felt no need to cater to Hael.Rolling my lip between my

Hael’s P.O.V.Cole bounced on the balls of his feet for the hundredth time, chipping away at the last shreds of my patience.“Go sign up for your match already.” I barked over the thunderous music that pulsed against my eardrums with it’s rapidly changing beat. “You’re getting on my damn nerves.”“Yes, sir!” Cole gave me a sloppy salute and all but sprinted into the crowd of writhing bodies. His head, with his hair that stood up in all directions, was visible for several seconds before vanishing completely.He’d been twitchy these past two weeks, but he’d been positively manic since stepping past Jinx’s threshold. The moment the tang of sweat, blood, and sex hit his nose, he was a goner. It was better to ditch him now so that I could focus on what I’d came here for.My meeting with Marcel Vega and the visit I planned on paying to Lorenzo Santino.I made my way through the crowd, keeping each of my senses peeled. One could never be too careful in a place like this, surrounded by so man

Violet’s P.O.V.What the hell is going on?“Olive?! Hael?!” I screeched.Half of the sound was in panic, and the other in pain. The lights had cut off out of nowhere and the crowd was going insane. They running frantically in every direction, barreling into one another without care.I’d lost Olive and Mykelle instantly. My heart was racing, beating so fast I was terrified it might stop. I tried to push forward, to navigate the sea of voices and scents in hopes that I’d somehow stumble into Hael. More than once I tripped over something…something large.I couldn’t bring myself to accept that it was people I was tripping over. The first time I tried to help them up, but they grabbed at me so wildly that all it did was throw me off balance. I didn’t know much about the world, but I did know that you never want to fall in the middle of a crowd surge.As much as it killed me, I had to keep going to find my friends.People jostled me left and right, but I managed to stay on my feet. The scre
Violets and Ash Chapter 120
Violet’s P.O.V.Wait a damned second. What contract?!“I didn’t sign anything!” I screeched at all of them, Cole included since he and Mykelle had just shown up. “That wasn’t me!”Even Mykelle had a slight look of worry on her face, which was surprising—but not nearly as surprising as when her eyes widened and she screamed, “VIOLET WATCH OUT!”I spun around too late, my heart and stomach switching places as a meaty arm swung directly at my face.The pain of being clotheslined by a man five times my size was unlike anything I’d ever felt before. Although I’d never been hit by a vehicle before, I assumed it was similar in nature.Every bone in my body flexed to their breaking point, my lungs expelling every drop of air as my ribcage squeezed them mercilessly. I could no longer feel the ground beneath my feet, not until my skull smacked into it hard enough to have me tasting metal.There were sounds everywhere. Screaming, shouting, cheering, booing. So many that I couldn’t begin to decip
