Violet

I lay awake in my bed until late at night, twisting and turning every few seconds because my brain refused to stop thinking, to figure out how the hell fate played such a cruel game with me and how Nate showed up in my new life yet again.

And Elijah…those scars, his silence that felt a lot like betrayal…all of the thoughts crowded my mind, wanting attention and breaking my heart over and over again.

The way he called me Vi.

Sleep refused to come.

I lay on my side, staring at the unfamili

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 121

    ElijahI'd been watching her all evening.That was the problem, really. The core of everything that had been systematically unraveling my control for weeks now.I couldn't stop watching Violet.She stood across the ballroom in that midnight blue dress that should have been illegal, talking to some Luna and I tracked her movement like my eyes had been calibrated to her frequency and her alone. I noticed every little thing she did. The way she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear when she was nervous. The way her fingers found the stem of her champagne glass and held it with just slightly too much tension. The way she laughed at something Luna Petra said, like she was still learning how much of herself to give away in these situations.I wanted all of it. Every carefully rationed piece she kept locked down. Every smile she didn't think anyone deserved to see."So what are your thoughts on the matter?"I blinked and looked to the right to the alpha I had been chatting with. He was loo

    VioletHe was right and I hated that he was right and my body's response to the low, insistent hum was making it very clear to both of us that stopping was the last thing I wanted."To anyone watching," Elijah continued, his tone still maddeningly calm, "you just look very focused on our dance. Maybe a little overcome by the romance of it all." His mouth curved slightly. "To your ex specifically, you look like you're barely restraining yourself from tearing my clothes off.""I'm barely restraining myself from murder!""That's not what your body language is saying."The music shifted and the dance became more structured, the pattern requiring us to spin our partners down a line before they returned.Elijah released me with clear reluctance, sending me spinning toward the next man in the formation.The moment his hand left my waist, the vibration stopped as if to indicate only he was allowed to watch me crumble in his embrace.I moved through the pattern in a daze, my body yearning to r

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 119

    VioletI only nodded in agreement and watched Veronica say something to Elijah that made him respond with a smile. That emboldened her further, and she laughed, leaning closer to his face to say something again.My fingers tightened on Marcus's shoulder."Sorry," I said immediately, loosening my grip."No problem." He smiled. "Are you enjoying yourself?""Immensely."Nate and Nicole had drifted closer to our section of the floor. I could see them in my peripheral vision—Nicole pressed close to Nate, her head tilted toward his, clearly trying to maintain his attention. But Nate's eyes were anywhere except on his childhood crush.His gaze swept through all of us, and I could see the cogs in his mind trying to figure out what was happening, the game Elijah was playing with me, and he couldn’t help but be a spectator to it.Marcus spun me gently, and when I came back around, Nate was close enough that when Nicole turned her head to acknowledge someone nearby, he leaned slightly in my dire

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 118

    VioletI stood in the corner of the room with my phone in my hand, trying very hard to look like I was doing something important and professional instead of just standing there with my heart attempting to jump out of my mouth.Elijah had moved to the opposite side of the hall after his pointed message to Nate. He was talking to Tyler now who threw a look at Nate and sneered.Meanwhile, the dance floor was starting to fill as couples moved together with varying degrees of grace. Founding family members danced politely, whereas the younger pairs swayed with more enthusiasm than skill. The orchestra had settled into something softer and romantic now, and for a second I imagined myself dancing with Elijah to the soft music, wrapped in his embrace.I watched Nate and Nicole move onto the floor as Nate smiled forcibly.Once again I wondered what story he had cooked to make up for the bruises on his face.Nicole was smiling up at him, saying something I couldn't hear, her body language sugg

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 117

    VioletI made the mistake of glancing at Elijah again.He was watching me over the rim of his glass with an expression that could only be described as deeply, privately satisfied. Like a man watching something he'd arranged unfold exactly as planned. His thumb was still in his jacket pocket.I threw him a look with every ounce of desperation I possessed.He took a slow sip of his drink and did absolutely nothing.I laughed to cover up another moan that would have escaped my mouth, wanting to just get down from the stage and find the restroom. Because grabbing him and climbing him like a tree was not an option."I…I think I have said enough and more deserving candidates need to get heard. I have rambled more than enough." I raised the microphone with a smile that I was genuinely proud of. "Thank you for the platform, Alpha Carrow. I'll return it before I really embarrass myself."The laughter from the crowd was warm and genuine. Alpha Carrow was beaming, apparently delighted.And the

    VioletCassie gave me a gentle and reassuring pat. "Go," she breathed. "You'll be fine. You're brilliant when you're put on the spot."That had never been true in my life but I appreciated the sentiment.I handed her my champagne and my clutch but then recalled my phone was in it so took it back from her immediately.I gave Alpha Carrow an awkward smile and walked to the front of the hall on legs that wanted to run in the opposite direction.The microphone was handed to me by a young server who shot me a sympathetic look. I took it with both hands, which were steady on the outside and shaking comprehensively on the inside.The crowd appeared bigger from up here and there were definitely more people than I'd registered when I was moving through them.I found Cassie first, her expression warm and encouraging.Then Nate, standing with Nicole at the edge of the crowd. His jaw was set and his bruised eye was visible even from here.My gaze drifted to the aunts, who looked pleasantly surpri
