LOGINEzekiel's POVMy doorbell rang, catching my attention as I granted permission for the person to come inside.There were actually two people standing by my doorway, lowering their heads slightly before coming in.They were in black suits, trousers, and shoes, which made me guess the reason they had arrived at my office."Old friends," I murmured, shaking hands with them, a forced smile pressed to my chin."Ezekiel, we're sorry about what happened. It's so sad to hear about Jeremy's passing. He doesn't deserve to die," Daniel said, sobbing quietly as he sat down on the chair across from me."You know how much I hate to witness emotional displays from men like you. Don't piss me off with your statements. Jeremy is in a terrible condition. He's not dead. Is that why you wore black clothing?" I asked, my eyes flashing with anger."It's been a while since you saw us. You can't afford to raise your voice at us, Ezekiel. Your being the Alpha doesn't change a thing," Fred intervened. I diverte
Violet's POV"Quiet," Diane murmured as we tiptoed to the room. We sat down on the king-sized bed as she slammed the door shut, locking it immediately."How did you find us?" I asked, but she shushed me once again."Don’t say a word yet. The guards are moving around. If they realize that I saved your asses, we will all be in trouble," Diane responded with a whisper, and we all nodded.My father lay on the bed, breathing heavily as he stared at the bruises on his chest and arms. He was at the verge of death when Diane cast the spell to make it possible for us to escape."I never would have done this for you, Violet. Know why?" Diane started, now that she had confirmed the guards were no longer lurking around the room."Why? I’m sorry I made you go through the stress of the spell, but..." I replied to her, but she rather approached my father, checking the bruised spots with tears in her eyes.That triggered the memories of when she informed me about her interest in my father. Around tha
Violet's POV"Do not try to change my mind. I will not spare the life of your father. He will definitely die gruesomely," the guard in black and red declared boldly, entering the cell where my father was locked up and pulling him up by his shirt."Take my life instead, man. I can’t bear to watch him die. Please..." Tears blurred my vision as I tried to convince him. He slid his hand into his pocket and pulled out a gun."One more word from you and your skull is splattered on the ground," he said carelessly before dragging my father out of the cell.I watched with pity as I carefully followed his every move."We have received an order from the Alpha to kill him. He said he hasn’t seen you in a while, and that shows stubbornness. If you’re going to make amends for what you did, go ahead and see him in his office. And if you’re not willing to take that risk, your father will go for it," the man quickly said, laying my father on the butcher table as he tied down his hands and legs.There
Violet's POV"I don't want to be alive anymore. If there's a way to make me suffer the consequences of your crimes, I will do it without a second thought. At least it will be a practical way to demonstrate how my hardened heart has been softened," Father said, ignoring the words the guard in black and red had said when he saw us together."I should have never threatened to step down from the throne. I didn't know Ezekiel would take it seriously. I'm scared of what will happen to me now, Father, and what you said can't happen. We need to find a valid way to sort this out," I said, my voice shaking with fear."The first thing you have to tackle is fear. Believe that you will sail through this storm and stay strong and alive. And if you don't survive the storm, be happy that you were confident enough to give it a try," he preached, but that didn’t sound like something I wanted to do."This isn’t about a storm. This isn’t the best time to use parables to explain the solution to me. Speak
Violet's POVReader discretion advised: Blood will be spilled, and not all of it deserved."It's a good thing that you came here." The guard in black and red said as he ushered me to the pre underground cells."Why did you say that?" I asked."The wolves are very angry with you and they will seize the chance they get to stone you to death. They definitely don't know you're here, so you're safe as long as you stay inside this place." The man explained. I could count seventeen different shapes of weapons on his table. He definitely was expert in tormenting wolves."Have you heard of the news too?" I asked, quite taken aback by how quickly the information had spread."The news reached us before any other district. You're no longer the Luna of the pack and roaming around could cost your life. Did you come to say hello to your sad father?" He asked, his tone suggesting his satisfaction of how I was demoted."Is he inside there?" I pointed to the room with a skull drawn on the door."Check
Violet's POV"This is the emergency room. No matter who you are, you're not allowed to come inside," the guards said, holding onto their weapons more firmly."I'm here to ask about Jeremy's health improvement. Is he much better now?" I replied gently. They must have been shocked to hear the softness of my voice instead of threats as a response."We don't have any idea," they chorused and asked me to sit on the long couch outside while one of them went to fetch information from the emergency team.He returned in a jiffy. "Jeremy isn't responding to treatment. The Alpha should have made someone else act as his Beta till his health improves, don't you think?""I want to see him. Let the doctors know it's the Luna asking to see the emergency patient," I said to the guard, my gaze never leaving his, leaving him with no choice but to obey my orders.I was finally given the license, but I didn't see Jeremy inside until the emergency team attended to me."Jeremy has been transferred to the cr
