I smiled again. Even in my case, I agreed most of our relatives were good for nothing so I could understand his reluctance to meet them.

Though I wasn’t sure why it would piss him off, get annoyed and irritated, yes, but I couldn’t think of anything my parents could do that would piss me off.

My mother’s recent action had left me confused and hurt at best, not wanting me to break all my contact with her.

But there was still a question unanswered.

“What happens when Elijah sees you plastered to bed one day and jumping around the other?”

Cassie seemed to have thought about that as well.

“Not happening. He has gotten too busy with work. He barely visited me once. And I took that chance to use it for good even if I had been guilty initially of not listening to him.”

I shook my head. Siblings were weird.

But I didn’t have any siblings to experience it first hand. And my parents were completely loyal to each other. I had never heard of any other woman, or man for that matter, try to

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 56

    VioletI stared at him for a while again, just a few fleeting seconds, to assess what he thought about me in this dress.It felt like having his opinion would matter because he belonged to this crazy family after all. He wasn’t wearing a tuxedo or a long coat from the last century either.And his tattoos did poke out from under his sleeves and the topmost open button of his shirt. He hadn’t bothered to stick to the dress code, if there was one.I almost felt the need to run back to my room and change into something more comfortable. But I had already slipped my hand in his.We started walking down the corridor, and I was acutely aware of the way my arm rested on his after linking it.The touch was gentle and barely there, yet I recalled the way he had held me through the flight as I sobbed into his chest.There were so many things I wanted to ask him, so many things I wanted to say, but somehow it felt he was in no mood to talk.He walked stiffly beside me and kept looking straight ah

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 55

    VioletInstead of nervousness, I felt dread.But I pushed the door open quietly, praying to not find the maids waiting for me, to let just this night be over so that I could return home.I had barely texted mom after my arrival here and thankfully she hadn’t pestered me about returning soon.Family dinners at my home were filled with joy and laughter, not this soul sucking exercise.I sighed as I looked at the maids, all five of them smiling at me.My gaze slid past them to the bed and that was when I noticed the dress.It had been laid out carefully across the covers, the fabric fanned in graceful folds as though someone had taken their time arranging every inch of it. A soft ivory tone, neither too pale nor too bright, with a faint sheen that caught the dim evening light. The neckline looked modest, the sleeves gently structured, and delicate embroidery traced the hem in tiny flowers.Beside it lay a pair of shoes with low heels, polished pearl white with narrow straps and a slender

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 54

    VioletI followed the trail of sunlight down the staircase Cassie had told me led toward the courtyard, my hand brushing along the cool stone railing for balance. Halfway down, I spotted movement below and slowed instinctively.Cassie stood near the bottom of the steps, back turned to me, as though she were waiting for someone.And for a moment, I didn’t recognize her at all.Gone were the ripped black jeans she loved wearing, the oversized bomber jacket with mismatched buttons and little enamel pins attached to the collar, the scuffed sneakers that squeaked whenever she got too excited and ran ahead. Gone was the sharp ponytail she usually twisted up in a hurry when she was in a mood to argue with someone or drag me into one of her impulsive decisions.Instead she looked like she had stepped out of an old painting.Her dress was a deep burgundy shade, layered and frilled, the fabric heavy and rich, cascading down in structured waves around her body. Balloon sleeves puffed at the sho

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 53

    VioletSo there had been a change again. Not that anybody thought it was important to let me know of it.So much for me being a guest of honor and not being made aware of these frequent changes. But I kept that thought to myself.Though, neither Cassie nor Elijah had mentioned anything requiring an attire that looked like it belonged in a royal portrait.Two more maids moved behind me with the quiet precision of people who had rehearsed this a thousand times. One gently gathered my hair, running a comb through it with such care that it almost made my chest ache; the other examined my nails, holding small shades of polish up to compare tones against my skin.“Perhaps a soft rose,” she suggested kindly. “It complements the color Lady Aurelia envisioned.”Lady Aurelia envisioned a look for me without even having seen me in person.As though my appearance had already been decided without me.“I was thinking maybe… something simpler?” I said cautiously. “Maybe a neutral shade.”The two ma

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 52

    VioletI must have sunk deeper into sleep than I intended, because when the knock came, it didn’t sound real at first and felt more like it was happening in some echoing hallway inside my dream rather than just outside my door. I groaned, rolled onto my side, and dragged the blanket higher over my head.“Please… not now,” I mumbled, my voice thick and hoarse from exhaustion. “Let me sleep.”Silence followed, and for a few blissful seconds, I thought whoever it was had taken the hint. Mom probably. My body loosened again into the mattress, heavy, boneless, grateful.Then another knock came, firmer, but still polite.“Miss Violet?”The voice was unfamiliar. Certainly not my mom nor any maids at my pack though we didn’t have a habit of waking people up early in the morning.I blinked awake slowly, forcing my eyes open, though the room still swam as my brain tried to catch up. I was not at home.I was wrapped in sheets made of finest silk that made me feel like I was sleeping in clouds.

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 51

    VioletThe world around me felt half unreal, as though I was drifting through a corridor between waking and sleep, and every sound came through a thick layer of fog. The majestic manor loomed over me, but I was whisked inside before I could take a good look at the tall, imposing structure.Someone had draped a shawl around my shoulders, and I became vaguely aware of two staff members walking beside me, guiding my steps across polished stone floors that seemed to stretch on endlessly beneath the soft echo of my heels.Cassie hovered near my side, talking in that bright, bubbling tone she used when she was excited or nervous or both, her words spilling one after another about the history of Ironcrest and the wing we were passing through and how the manor had been renovated three times in the last century without losing its original architecture. But I only caught fragments of it, unmoored details drifting past me.It felt like I had stepped back in time, a few hundred years ago when K
