MasukZavian’s POVI stood there watching Wylder and Selina try to keep up their act. They both looked tense, as if they expected me to panic. I didn’t feel anything close to fear.Wylder raised his chin and said he would expose everything to the pack elders. Selina stood beside him, clutching his arm as if she had the right to demand something from me. I just looked at them and kept my voice flat.“If you want to tell them, then go ahead,” I said. Their eyes widened, but I didn’t stop. “You can say whatever you want.”They froze. Selina blinked, confused. Wylder’s mouth opened a little, shocked that I wasn’t begging or arguing.I didn’t waste more time on them. I turned away and walked to Velvet. She looked worried, but her eyes softened the moment I touched her face.I pulled her close and kissed her right there. My hand stayed around her waist, holding her steady. I wanted them to see that I wasn’t scared of them.When I pulled back, I heard Selina let out a sharp sound. Wylder didn’t sp
Velvet’s POVThe private hall was quieter than I expected. Only thirty guests sat at the tables, all dressed elegantly. The lights glimmered softly, reflecting off crystal decorations. I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness as I adjusted my dress, waiting for the ceremony to officially begin.Selina appeared suddenly, holding Wylder’s hand. She looked calm, but her eyes were disturbed. My stomach twisted. I could tell she had overheard or figured out something from Zavian. She glanced at me, then back at Wylder. “I wanted to see you both after the ceremony,” she said lightly. “Why did you sideline me?”Wylder and Selina’s faces stiffened. I could feel the tension building. It was strange watching them pretend. My mind raced. I knew Selina wouldn’t leave it alone.I wanted to intervene, but before I could, Zavian appeared at her side. His presence changed the energy in the room. He was calm but strong, and I could sense his determination. He walked directly to Wylder, his steps fir
Velvet’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
Velvet’s POVThe warning went into the deepest part of my skull, seething into my brain. I don't think I can ever forget this. “I'll pay more than just normal attention but I won't stop thinking about you.” I replied. The stubbornness was intact. I can't pay attention and forget about him, his fa
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
