ANMELDENVelvet’s POVThe plane ride to London felt longer than usual. I kept my eyes on the clouds outside, trying not to think about what awaited at Evercrest Pack. My heart pounded in a way I couldn’t explain. I had planned to confront my dad, maybe demand answers, maybe yell. I wasn’t ready for surprises.Zavian sat beside me, his hand resting lightly over mine. His calm presence helped, though I could feel his excitement too. He had been unusually quiet, like he knew something I didn’t. I tried to guess, but every idea in my head felt wrong. My stomach twisted with worry and anticipation.When we landed, I felt nervous stepping out of the plane. The air was colder, crisp, and the city around us seemed busy and alive. Zavian guided me through the airport, keeping my hand in his. I could feel his strength, and it gave me a strange mix of comfort and courage.We drove to Evercrest Pack in silence. I kept glancing at the estate from the car window, expecting tension, maybe a lecture from my d
Velvet’s POVI went straight to Zavian’s room after ending the call with my dad. My chest still felt tight because the conversation kept replaying in my head. I had tried to sound normal when I spoke to him, but the way he answered me made something inside me twist. I needed to tell Zavian everything before my thoughts ate me up.Zavian sat on the couch, going through some documents. He looked like he already knew I had something heavy on my mind. His eyes lifted when I entered, and he dropped the file slowly.I walked closer, trying to keep my face calm, but he noticed the change in my mood. He never missed anything when it came to me. That alone made me breathe a little better.“I spoke to my dad,” I said quietly.Zavian’s brows lifted a little. He leaned forward like he already expected trouble.“What did he say?” he asked.I sat down beside him. My hands were restless on my lap, and he reached out to hold one. His touch steadied me a bit, but the words still felt heavy.“He agreed
Velvet’s POVI kept thinking about everything Zavian told me. The truth would not leave my mind, and I felt a sharp weight in my chest. I knew I needed to hear it from my father too, even if he would not tell me directly. I wanted to check if Zavian was playing any trick on me or trying to push some fear into my heart.I decided to ask in an indirect way. I did not want Wylder to sense anything. He always read my tone too fast, and if he knew I came prepared, he would hide everything again. I wanted him to slip, even if it was by mistake.I called him when I found some quiet space. My hands shook a bit, but I forced myself to breathe well. I needed to act calm so he would not see through me.When he answered the call, his voice sounded normal. “Velvet, my darling. How are you holding up over there?”I pretended to laugh a little. “I’m fine, Dad. I just wanted to talk. I heard something strange today, and I wanted to know if it was true.”He hummed like he was trying to guess what I me
Velvet’s POV Zavian opened the drawer slowly. I watched his hand move, and my chest grew tight. He pulled out a brown envelope and held it for a moment before placing it on the table.I did not speak. I only stared at it. Something in his eyes told me this was not a small thing.He pushed the envelope toward me. “Open it,” he said. His voice was calm, but I felt his tension.My hands shook a little as I opened it. The first paper I saw made my vision blur. I blinked hard and looked again.It was a birth certificate. At first, it looked normal. Then my eyes stopped on the name.The name was Selina Wylder. My mouth went dry. Wylder was my father’s name.I looked up at Zavian. “What is this?” I asked. I felt my heart drop to my stomach.“There’s more,” he said. He nodded at the other papers. I forced myself to look through them.Every document had the same thing. Her name. My father’s name. My mother’s name.My breath caught. I pushed the papers away and held my head. “What does this me
Zavian’s POVThe weekend finally came. The wedding Nikel had invited me to was about to happen. He was my college friend, and as the best man, I had responsibilities to handle.Selina, as always, was in the mix. She had somehow become the chief bridesmaid. It didn’t surprise me how she loved being in the center of attention.I watched Velvet as she moved about quietly. Her eyes flicked around the estate, cautious and curious. I knew she was thinking, wondering what I was planning next.I called her over to me, my voice low but firm. She hesitated, a small crease forming between her brows. I smiled gently, hoping to calm her nerves.“Come with me,” I said. Her steps were slow but obedient. She followed me through the quiet hallways of the estate.Selina was far away, preparing for the journey at the saloon. It gave us the perfect moment to speak freely. I knew I had to tell her some truths she didn’t know yet.Velvet walked beside me, her gaze wary. She had that look I loved—half suspi
Velvet’s POVI stepped into the lounge and felt a small tension tighten my chest. Melissa and Ivy were already there, laughing quietly together. It was strange how they didn’t even glance at me when I entered.Before, they would have smiled or waved. They would have included me in their chatter without thinking twice. Now, they looked distant, almost cold, and I noticed it immediately.My heart sank a little. I knew why, of course. Selina had been at the estate while we were gone, and I could guess she had made her moves.Money and gifts were her tools. She wanted to buy them over. To turn my friends against me, even if just a little.I sat down quietly, keeping my distance from them. I could feel their eyes on me, but they didn’t say a word. Their silence felt deliberate, controlled.I tried to hide the ache in my chest. I knew it was real, though. Selina was trying her best to push me away from Zavian, and she had started with them.I glanced at Melissa first. She smiled, but it did
Velvet's POV “Fuck…” sound of glass breaking echo as Zavian stood up to leave.“I guess our Alpha is a little tipsy. Back to the game, bring the box in to let our lucky winners know the rest of their price.”After they picked, they handed it over to the waiter, and the choices were read. I had to
Velvet’s POV I watched with hungry eyes as Daddy pulled me later into a tight, romantic hug, beads of water still clinging to his tanned skin. My pussy clenched at the sight of him, needing pooling low in my belly. He was yet to take me on round three. He wanted to give me some time to relax.He'
Velvet’s POV His eyes darkened with desire, a growl rumbling in his chest. "I love you too, baby. So fucking much. I'm going to make this perfect for you, I swear." He captured my lips in a searing kiss, his tongue delving into my mouth to tangle with mine. “Urgh.” I moaned, sparks of pleasure s
Velvet’s POVHe pulled up smoothly, his window down. His eyes locked on me for a second—cold, emotionless. My knees felt a little weak.“Get in,” he said.I slipped into the front passenger seat, closing the door gently. “Did I warn you not to mingle with boys?” he started. I blinked. “Huh?”It w
