Ezekiel's POV“Are you refusing to obey my orders?” I had to ask. Kira sat there on the bed, fuming and refusing to do what I commanded her to do.“Gather your belongings. The wolves will soon be here to get you out of this pack. Go and meet your people. I don’t want you anymore,” I said again to her. There was no way Violet would thrive in this pack with Kira on the throne.She was just another slut, caught many times having sex with strange men. I never scolded her once. I just knew a day would come when an end would be put to all of this.“What do you even mean?” Kira got up, her anger flaring while a frown formed on her face.“What does it sound like? I’m banishing you from the pack, because in truth, you’re the one who deserves to be expelled,” I said to her face. We had had sex on different occasions, but I could vividly remember the last time we did.It was many months ago, and with the timeframe in which she got pregnant, it was obvious I wasn’t the one who had fucked her last
Violet's POV"How did you find me?" I stepped back from the doorstep as Owen walked in, a big smirk dancing on his lips."If you’ve been chasing someone for years, trust me when I say it’s very easy to understand their movements," Owen said as he sat on the bed, his eyes roaming all over the room.With a big smile, he turned back to me. "You’re all dressed up. Is it to impress me? Were you looking around the pack for me?""To hell with you, Owen. Did you forget you’re in the Alpha’s room? Do you want to be penalized?" I snapped, anger sharpening my tone, though I knew I couldn’t do much to stop him now.I really should have left the moment Ezekiel did. This would never have happened. How did he even walk past the guards to get here without me suspecting him?"Don’t pretend you don’t know I can’t be penalized. I love you, Violet, and until you realize that, I won’t stop coming after you. You’re my mate, my girl, and only through you will I have a child. I won’t force you in any way, bu
Violet's POV"I came back to this pack the first time for one major reason I haven’t mentioned to you," I said to Ezekiel, now lying on his bed as night had fallen and the curtains were already drawn.Isabel was fast asleep, giving us more room to talk before she woke again."What reason?" Ezekiel asked in a deep, sleepy voice as he rested my head on his chest."A witch made a prophecy that my daughter’s life is in danger. We tried to reason it out and couldn’t find the cause, until the next day when she revealed that my daughter’s name was found on the wolf tree in my former pack," I said, and he let out a soft breath."How does your daughter’s name on the wolf tree endanger her life?""Why would you write my name back there on the tree? I’d been banished, and you endangered my life by writing it back. You could have been banished or killed on the spot, if you were caught," I replied quickly."And that’s the difference. I wasn’t caught. I couldn’t have been caught red-handed. Violet,
Violet's POVWe left the pack as early as 7 a.m. Our luggage was ready, and we moved it to the border as quickly as possible. Ezekiel informed the guards that we were leaving, and even though they believed we would make an official announcement before the host Alpha ended his temporary reign, Ezekiel had to let them know it wasn’t part of his plans.Guilt ripped at my chest for leaving Simon behind without even saying goodbye. If only I had known last night would be the last time I’d see him, I would have stayed with him all through the night. Tears welled in my eyes as we traveled down to Ezekiel’s pack.My heart throbbed and my hands trembled, and even though Ezekiel kept promising me I wouldn’t regret it, the words never sank into my mind.We finally reached his pack and went straight to his main office—once the exact office his father had ruled from when he was still on the throne.Wolves stared at the three of us as we walked in, while the guards carried the luggage. Rumors must
Violet's POVI could feel my insides leap with joy when I saw Simon standing at the doorstep. I pulled him into a warm hug, and he did the same, but his lack of excitement made worry coil inside me."Where the hell did you go?" I asked, slowly pulling away from the hug. His eyes shifted to Ezekiel’s, and he kept quiet. Trying to make sense of what was happening, Ezekiel called me back inside."We have a deal. Simon should leave now that you’ve seen him. Come inside and let’s talk about it," Ezekiel pressed, but with a roll of my eyes, I grabbed Simon’s hand and hurried him down to his room.As soon as we got inside, I slammed the door shut and locked it. He collapsed onto the bed, lowering his head and wiping the sweat from his face."What happened, Simon? Why aren’t you saying anything?" I asked, trying to lift his chin, but he refused. Minutes passed before he finally spoke."I spent two days in the woods under torture by some masked werewolves. Strangely, they let me go, and I foun
Violet's POVIt was the last day of Ezekiel’s reign in the pack, and a wave of excitement washed over me. The excitement lasted until I remembered that I hadn’t spoken to Simon in two days, and that my wolf couldn’t find him when we searched for him in the woods.I had asked around for him but never found him anywhere close. I tried many ways to connect to his mind, but it was never possible. A part of me felt like he had shut out all access to contact me, and another part said that he was in extreme danger. I wanted to believe one, but I ended up believing both, which put me in a state of emergency and calm at the same time.“I need to send the special troops of wolves to look around for Simon. I haven’t seen him in two days, and I’m worried sick. Where could he be?” I said to Ezekiel as his arms rested on my shoulders in bed.He had been with Isabel all through yesterday, and my daughter was pretty happy being with him. I was skeptical about the decision to leave her with him, but i
