Ezekiel's POV"I'm dying. I'll make a request and you'll grant it before I pass away," Father said, his eyes closing up already."What request do you wish to make at this very old age?" I scoffed. He wasn't the best father in his prime or old age, and he didn't fully deserve my attention.He chose Kira from the rival pack to be my Luna, and that was the legendary beginning of confusion in my life. She never got pregnant, and when she did, the fetus wasn't even mine. He taught me how to hate Violet and made sure she wasn't found anymore.Each time I looked at him, I remembered how he kicked her out of the pack and erased her name from the wolf's tree."Make sure to keep Violet safe no matter what. If anyone else would die, let them die," Father said, and then stopped breathing before I could ask him why.Why was he trying to change his mind now? All through the years, he'd shown strong hatred for Violet, and now he was making a request for me to keep her safe no matter what."I'll see
Violet's POV"Why haven't you stepped down?""What a bold question. Guards, please drive him out of my sight!" I commanded the guards who arrived quickly and grabbed him by the shirt."Who would you obey? The commander who's below the Luna of the pack or the Luna herself?" I asked the guards, and they kicked him out of my presence. With a loud hiss, I returned to my office to continue with my tasks."Don't grant anyone permission to get inside throughout today. If it's very urgent, make sure I'm well-informed before they step inside at all," I informed the guards and then dropped to my seat.A loud voice boomed in my head, almost causing me to slip free from the chair, and it took a few seconds to recognize the person speaking to me through the mind."This is Charles. I've just gotten to my hometown, and guess who I saw?" Charles asked with a tone of excitement, and I triggered my wolf to send a response too."Who did you see?""Your mother. I saw Diane in my hometown, Violet. She doe
Violet's POV"Why would you go to a party in the woods without informing the Alpha of the pack?" Ezekiel really didn't grant permission to sit down. He commanded me to get up and apologize for what I did first, which I was hesitating to do."Jeremy claimed to have informed you about it. Why would I need to do that again?" I replied, and he nodded slowly before flipping through the pages of one of those random books on his table. And then he looked up at me."I was going to ask Kira to replace you today since our men didn't find you in the woods, and you're lucky you arrived early. Your daughter has really missed you, and she's in the room, waiting for you to attend to her. Our daughter is the major thing joining us together, and that's why I'll forgive you," he said, and then asked me to sit, but rather, I turned and left.As soon as I left his office, I spotted Jeremy walking inside with his hands dipped into his pockets. Why did he have to wait for me to leave first?Thoughts ran th
Violet's POV"Where are we?" My voice echoed through the night as I stared blankly at the dark path in front of me.I held tightly onto Jeremy as we stepped on fallen trees and wet leaves, trying to figure out where we'd fallen into. He didn't say any words to me, and some minutes later, he lifted me up and moved very quickly. I tried to scream, but I kept reminding myself that I was in safe hands. Jeremy wouldn't dare do something awful to me.I woke up suddenly in a large room as my eyes gazed at the white ceilings. Trying to figure out what was going on, Jeremy came out of the restroom with a towel strapped to his waist. A bright smile settled onto his lips as he approached me quickly."Where did you bring me to?" I asked, my mind reeling with a lot of guesses which I couldn't point to one as the authentic one."We are not far from the pack. I made sure we found our way home, but we can have a little chat before we return to the pack again.""What little chat? We should be in a hur
Violet's POVLoud music boomed on the mountain and on the little hills on the sides, and my eyes searched around for Charles. He had recently left here to show his other friend the way to this venue.It was very late at night, and I hadn't even informed Ezekiel about my intention to attend the party in the woods tonight. Well, he once had sex with Kira and never informed me to this date; this could be a good way to get my revenge on him."It took you so long to arrive," I sighed softly as I caught sight of Charles from a short distance. Someone was coming behind him, supposedly his friend, but the voice of that friend sounded a little familiar, and my mind kept guessing until his face came into view."Jeremy?" I asked, shock on my face."Violet? Hiii," he said with a warm smile as he pulled me into a quick hug, patting my back with his warm palms, and when we pulled out of the hug, he started to explain his reason for being here."I'm glad Charles reminded you to come around. Why are
Violet's POV"Why are you here?" I asked Mariana as she stood at my doorway, glaring at me with intensity."I'm now in charge of overseeing the wolf trainees in the northern region of the pack. I began my work officially yesterday, and I'm here to present some reports I’ve already received," she explained in detail, and I gestured for her to come inside.A warm smile settled on my lips as I gently received the report from her. While I read through its contents, she launched into an inconvenient conversation."Owen told me about you. Why did you refuse to be his mate after receiving so many gifts from him?" she asked."Pardon?""You heard me. Answer the question," she demanded. I chose to stay silent, but she kept pushing, determined to get on my nerves and make me respond."I’ll order your arrest if you don’t leave my office now. I’ve checked the reports, and I’ll send feedback directly to your office when it’s ready," I said. Then Charles walked in, as though he somehow knew I needed
