Violet

"I'll send the address. One hour."

A photo pinged in with the address. The necklace. In her hand. It screamed trap.

But it was my mother's. I couldn't walk away.

An hour later I reached an abandoned warehouse on the edge of the city. Empty. Overgrown. Broken buildings. It stank of danger.

I went in anyway.

It was dim inside. Bulbs flickered overhead. Liriel stood waiting in a black dress, face colder than I'd ever seen it.

"You came." No warmth. Nothing.

"The necklace." I didn't waste

    Violet A month later, Derek was discharged.We went home, back to warmth and our life. He was still recovering—no heavy stuff—but he was living. Breathing. With us.That night, finally alone, he pulled me tight."Violet, I thought I'd never see you again." His breath brushed my ear. "When I was under, I heard you. Every day. Heard the kids sing. Your voices dragged me back.""We promised," I murmured into his chest, soaking in his heat. "I'm not letting you break it.""I love you, Violet." His fingers slid through my hair. "This life, the next—I love you.""I love you too, Derek." I looked up into him. "Always."We held each other and cried—for the miracle, the scars, the fact we were whole at last.A few months later, my dessert business took off. With his backing and the Ward Family's resources, I opened more than a dozen shops around the city. But I kept prices friendly. I wanted ordinary people to taste joy.He started sketching my dream flagship store, tossing out wild ideas I

    VioletDisinfectant hung in the hall like a cold fog. I sat on the bench outside the ICU, fingers locked tight, eyes on the closed door. Two weeks had crawled by. I barely left, only slipping out when the kids needed me.Derek was still out.That night on the cliff, he bled so much saving us he almost didn't make it. The doctors said it was bad—knife wound to the chest, a jaw dislocated from clamping the rope too long, systems thrown off by massive blood loss.They pulled him back from the edge. Even with an Alpha's healing, with injuries like these, no one could say when he'd wake.I touched the mark at my throat. It had settled into a little flower. Even with him deep under, I could feel that fated mate pull—thin but stubborn, like a thread tying our souls together."Mom, we came to see Dad."Leon and Theodora's voices floated down the corridor. I blinked, saw them coming hand in hand, Edmond behind them. He'd been helping me with the kids so I could keep vigil here."Will Dad wake

    Derek "The family's interests don't justify hurting innocent children," Elder Ward said, firm now. "Liriel, release them. It ends here.""I won't!" she shrieked. "If you won't help me, I'll do it myself! If I can't have Derek's love, I'll burn everything he loves!"She swung the knife, eyes blazing, and hacked at Violet's rope. She was gone—hate ate her whole.The rope sawed halfway through.My opening.While they were split between arguing and gloating, I moved. Now or never."Drop it!" I bolted for Liriel, going for her knife.She was quick. Instinct jerked her arm up as I crashed into her. White fire exploded in my chest.Steel buried deep. Blood bloomed hot."Derek!" Violet screamed, voice breaking."No! Why did you rush me?" Liriel screamed too.The pain blurred my vision. I couldn't fall. I would not.I gritted through it, wrenched the knife from her hand, and hurled her aside. Warm blood poured down my ribs, soaking my white shirt. I didn't look."You ran into me! I did

    Derek When Violet and I reached the spot Liriel named,sight before me turned my blood to ice.An abandoned pier. A cliff. Moonlight on jagged rock. And at the edge—the worst thing I ever saw—my kids, bound and dangling over the abyss.Leon and Theodora shivered in the wind, small and helpless. Their cries ripped the night open—and my heart with it."Mom!" Theodora saw us and broke down, wailing."Mom, help us!" Leon thrashed, the ropes biting into him. No give.Violet staggered, nearly fainted, then lunged for them."Babies!" she sobbed. "Please—let them go! They're just kids!"I yanked her back. We couldn't rush. Black-clad men already spotted us, eyes hard and hungry.My fists knotted. My wolf howled for blood. The urge to tear them apart clawed at my control, but I held the line. Our kids hung on Liriel's whim. One wrong move and I would lose everything."Liriel!" I roared, my voice ricocheting off stone. "Let them go! They're innocent!""Innocent?" A laugh slithered out of the

I didn't waste breath."You're really in a rush," she sneered. "But before that, I have a question."My guard shot higher."Why are you still seeing Derek?" Her voice sharpened to a knife. "Didn't I tell you to stay away from him?""It's none of your business.""None of my—" Her smile twisted. "Violet, you're still so naive. You think getting back with him means you get your happy little life?""I said give me my mother's necklace." I wasn't listening to her poison."You can have it," she hissed, "after I'm su

    Violet Moonlight washed over me and Derek. Tears glittered in his eyes, raw and desperate, stabbing straight into my chest.A powerful Alpha, and he was crying for me."I love you, Violet. I'll love you forever."The words slammed into the softest part of me. I felt the truth in them, saw the pain and hunger in his gaze. Just the two of us beneath a sputtering streetlight, buried under the weight of everything we'd been through."Violet, believe it or not," he held me tight, voice shaking, "that photo is fake. I swear I never took anything like that with Liriel. As for the bracelet... I did wear it once, but I lost it a long time ago."I wanted to push him away. Stay cold. But his scent wrapped around me and my body betrayed my mind. Is this what a fated mate does? My head says be careful. My skin aches for him."Violet, everything between us is real. The mark, my promises, my love for you and the kids. All of it."My neck still throbbed. Derek's fingers brushed the spot, gentle."T
