Violet’s POV

My blood ran cold, my heart sprang up to my throat in that moment.

Seeing my life flashing before my eyes, I reacted quickly, falling back just in time. The sound of screeching tires was jarring and I instinctively placed my hands on my ears. The car soon hit a nearby light pole, forcefully coming to a halt.

 My buckling knees lost strength, sending me to the ground.

'That was so close. So scary,' I thought, placing my right hand on my heaving chest, my breaths erratic.

'Breathe, Violet, breathe!' I internally encouraged myself. 

The crash had naturally got the attention of many and I watched as several people curiously flocked to the car's spot. 

With my breathing now almost steady, I rose from the ground, smoothening the creases on my clothes. 

Then curiosity got me walking towards the crowd. The one who drove the car had come out, weak and a little injured, same as his partner. 

The wailing of police sirens soon caught everyone's attention. I, along with the others, could only watch as the officers nabbed the two men and put them into the car. 

Turns out these two were on a run from the police earlier. Had they tried to rob a bank or something? 

With the police vehicle having zoomed away, the crowd naturally dispersed and people started miling about. 

I decided to walk for a bit because with what happened earlier, I had been thrown into a swivet.

Along the way, I met a former patient, Mrs Meyer was it...? 

She was taking her dog for a walk. I had a soft spot for pets, so after exchanging pleasantries with her, I played a little with her cute dog, Lylia. I felt a little saddened when it was time to part. 

Maybe I should buy one from the pets shop, but I doubted it would live long. Kate might murder it before I get home from work.

She had once told me she'd rather be next to a live lion than have an annoying pet. 

Sighting a roadside noodle restaurant up ahead, I decided to fill my stomach before going home because I wouldn't be able to whip up anything after cleaning up. 

Before long, I was already guzzling the noodles, feeling even more thankful to be alive. 

I paid the bill and shuffled to the pavement where I successfully hailed a taxi. 

Reaching home, I found Kate wasn't around. 

'Where did she go at this time?' I wondered as I ambled to my room. 

The bed and pillows were calling out to me and the temptation was almost impossible to resist. But I forcefully tore my eyes away from them and left for the bathroom. 

A warm shower and nice smelling shampoo was on of the best things in the world. 

I couldn't help moaning in relief as the water sluiced down my body, relaxing all the previously tense nerves. 

I later changed into my favorite silk night gown and was ready to hit the bed when I recalled my favorite Tv show would be airing at this time. 

I looked at the time on my phone, it was 9:30 already. 

So I rushed to the sitting room and collapsed on the couch, grabbing the TV remote and changing the channel. 

I was five minutes late but it wasn't too late. 

I watched with apt interest, soon shaking in amusement at some of the participants words and actions. 

Whatever fragment of tiredness there was, it had already fled my body. 

At the midpoint of the show, I suddenly heard a knock on the door. 

I wanted to ignore it but I heard even more knocks, causing me to scowl. 

Who could it be at this time of the night? Kate wouldn't knock because she had a spare key with her. Or did she perhaps lose it? 

I reluctantly got off the couch and padded to the door. 

Looking through the peephole, I saw that it was that mysterious man of yesterday. I still didn't know his name and didn't care to know. 

Was he here for Kate his 'Saviour'? 

He continued knocking and with intent to shoo him away, I opened the door in a swift motion. 

"Kate isn't home yet. Please wait outside till she comes back," I quickly said. 

But then his gaze at me suddenly turned intense. I felt oxygen trying to escape me and started gasping in fear. 

This man was dangerous, I had to go in quickly. 

But when I noticed his firm grip on my hand, my face paled. 

"What are you doing? Let me go!" I yelled but my words fell on deaf ears. 

He pulled me closer to him, snaking a hand around my waist. 

"Mate! You're mine!" his voice was much deeper than usual, like he was growling. 

What was wrong with him? 

I pushed against his firm chest, ordering him to let me go but he instead inclined his head, "Only I get to hold you like this, mate," 

His devilish grin made me even more terrified. 

Could anyone save me from this man? 

He pushed away the hair strands on my right shoulder, exposing my fair neck and before I knew it, he had... bitten me? 

Damn that hurt. It hurt so bad!

What kind of teeth did he have? I pressed against his shoulders weakly, my legs were feeling jelly, and I was feeling a strange and indescribable sensation going through me. 

He finally raised his head and licked his lips, "Violet, mine!"

His face soon became hazy, it was like the world was spinning so fast. 

I could feel the pain in my neck dulling fast and the weird sensation in my system surged faster. 

Amidst this all, I had the overwhelming urge to sleep. 

And just like that, I saw... darkness.

    Axel's POV“Violet” Her name fell from my lips as the world snapped back into focus, and a dull ache pulsed behind my eyes. How could I have let myself lose control like that? My chest rose as I saw her figure sprawled on the floor. Panic shot through me like lightning and I dropped to my knees, hands shaking as I gathered her limp body into my arms. Her skin felt too cold, but she was breathing, it was shallow but I was relieved it was there.I titled her head a little to cradle her in my arms exposing my mark on her neck, instantly a sickening wave of horror crashed over me.No. No, no, no.I wasn’t supposed to— I came here to reject her, to cut this bond before it could ruin everything. But the second my eyes locked on her, the second her scent curled through my senses, my wolf lunged forward taking over. I lost control.And now—Now she was bound to me.My stomach twisted painfully. Violet was human. She wasn’t built to handle this. The bond was too strong, too much for her body

    Violet's POV It was a pain I had never felt before, I felt it every inch of my body, burning so deep that I wondered if I had been set on fire. My head pounded, my limbs ached, and my throat felt like I had swallowed broken glass. For a moment, I thought I had died. That my soul had been ripped away and shoved back in against its will.This was by far the worst accident I i had encountered but then it hit me, I wasn't in any accident I was assaulted!The memory came back of his possessiveness before his teeth had sunk into my skin, sending a deep and tearing pain spreading through me before everything had gone dark. Abruptly my eyes snapped open, my chest rising and falling in heavy breaths as I forced myself upright. My hands trembled, my heart beating so hard I thought it might burst.I was on the couch in the main room. The lights were dim but Axel was nowhere in sight. That alone made my shoulders relax a little, but the throbbing in my neck pulled me back. My fingers reached

    Violet POVI sat frozen on my bed, my eyes glued to the screen. My eyes burned, but I didn’t blink. I had read the same paragraphs over and over, my mind refusing to accept what was in front of me.Werewolves. Real life four legged wolf half human beings!I scrolled endlessly, absorbing every detail. Check-in for their weakness, Silver. Wolfsbane. Strong scents that could mask a human from their senses. Werewolves were real! And I was living with one.The words wouldn’t stop echoing in my head. The realization hadn’t dulled, hadn’t settled. If anything, it grew worse, clawing at my sanity, making my skin prickle every time the apartment creaked and I held my breath hoping she wasn't the one coming in to complete what she'd started.My clock ticked through the silent room, morning was creeping in, but I had barely rested. My body ached from exhaustion, but my mind wouldn’t stop racing.Anytime I closed my eyes all I could see was her trying to rip my throat out, I had to get away befo

    Violet’s POVI was burned under my skin as I clutched my bag, my fingers digging into the strap. I couldn't believe Kate would do this to me, she knew how important this was to me and she could easily try to sabotage it because of a man she met.I didn't care how handsome he was. This was preposterous and insane, still not the craziest thing I found out in the last 24hrs.I couldn’t storm back to the apartment and give her a piece of my mind, I wasn’t stupid. If I confronted her, who knew what she’d do? The memory of her claws digging into my throat sent a chill down my spine. No, I wasn't going to risk my life.I let out a sigh, my grip loosening. “Daniel you gotta help me out here, I've worked my butt off, taken no leave, I've done everything by the book, you can't let them take me off the job” I pleaded desperately.Daniel sighed beside me, shifting on his feet. "Look, I know this isn’t fair. Everyone knows you have potential. They aren’t letting you go, but… you should stay away.

I forced my eyes open, the ground feeling rough beneath me and the place clogged with dust."You brought a human here?" A voice yelled out startling me.A second voice answered, defensive. "The scent led to her, I don't know what we did wrong."I stiffened, and my breath hitched as realization dawned on me.they weren’t talking about just any human. They were talking about me.My hands were bound, the rope digging into my wrists, but it was tied loosely. They hadn’t bothered to blindfold me anymore because I was human and they believed I was defenseless.I stayed still, listening and looking around as much as I could. They weren’t looking at me. The one who had yelled was pacing, his boots scraping against the floor. The other two stood rigid as if bracing for more anger.Slowly, carefully, I shifted back. My heart pounded so hard I could

    Axel's POVSomething was wrong, I could feel it within but couldn't grasp why I felt that way.Even my wolf could feel it too, he was acting out growling within and fighting for control.“Go after her” he snarled, making my muscles tense but I still overpowered him, keeping him at bay.“With the way you are acting, why should I? So you can hurt her again” I spat trying to reason with him.“Your stubbornness is going to get our mate killed,” he snapped back.“She doesn't want us” I blurted out the words harshly, attracting attention from pedestrians.The humans stared at me wondering if I was running mad since it looked like I was talking to myself.I forced a smile acting as if everything was casual till they walked away then I exhaled sharply, shaking my head. It was the bond. That was all. Nothing else. I had no reason to go after her.My hands flexed at my sides. The need to move, to find her, burned under my skin, but I refused to give in.She said it herself; she doesn't need me.

The beeping sound also made it known I wasn't in my room… I was in the hospital.I sat up straight, my body agitated ready to defend myself but as I glanced around there was no one in the room, no threat to face.And I felt… fine. More than fine. I didn't find any reason I would need to be hospitalized.I tossed away the sheets ready to leave the bed to ask for answers when the door creaked open, and a woman in scrubs stepped inside. Her eyes widened the moment she saw me. "You're awake!"I frowned. "Yeah… what am I doing here?""You should lie back down," she insisted, rushing forward. "You need to rest.""I don’t need rest." I swung my legs over the side of the bed, planting my feet firmly on the cold tile. "I feel perfectly fine."In fact I felt better than fine, like the first cup of coffee when you wake in the morning.

Maybe it was the reason I couldn't remember. It must be some type of werewolf conjuring spell to make me oblivious.The hospital room felt smaller and for a minute I forgot how to breathe. It was like my body remembered the pain even though my mind had tried to forget… had been forced to forget.Still I couldn't believe it, Axel had done this.Axel. A man I had no idea who he was or what he was. Still for some reason I found the need to doubt he would do this.My chest ached, my pulse pounding in my ears. He had looked so worried, so desperate to make sure I was okay. But if he cared so much, why did he hurt me in the first place?Was he lying? Or really just a great actor?Or was it his wolf? Maybe it was

    Violet's POV With those words, it was like a veil was lifted, exposing the reality I had been trying to avoid; I was alone in this.It didn't matter if I was back home trying to survive my jealous roommate or in a pack full of discriminating wolves I would forever be fighting.I didn't mean those words, but forgive a girl for being a little overwhelmed after being attacked by the very people she believed who protect her.My gaze involuntary scanned where that man was seated, he bit his bottom lip as if holding back a laugh and it irked me to the core.Out of the corner of my eye, a woman stepped forward. "You," she pointed at me. "Walk with me."Without waiting for my response, she turned on her heel then walked away.Guess I didn't have a choice, I followed behind as we moved through the hallway. A lot of things ran through my head,What did she want from me? Was the summary.Abruptly, she stopped.Before I could bait an eye, her hand flashed out and cracked across my face with a s

    Violet's POV My lashes slowly fluttered open, the first thing that hit me was the throbbing in my head.It momentarily blinded me for a solid minute before I could snap back to reality.There was a blanket thrown over me, and I frowned confused. I wasn't in my room so where did this blanket come from?For a moment, I lay there, staring at the beads of sunlight that forced its way through the high trees.My mind was blank, body slow to respond but one thing was for certain I wasn't the type of person to go camping.Then abruptly it hit me through the fog,Everything that happened before I passed out the wolves,Sapphire.And one name rose to my lips, my voice hoarse as I whispered,"Elias."I shifted, wincing as every sore muscle screamed in protest. My cognitive skills began working again. I choked as the metallic stench of blood hit me, my stomach twisted, if it wasn't empty I would have puked.Scrunching my nose, I forced myself to sit up, clutching the blanket around my shoulder

    Violet's POVI stared at Sapphire, the truth tightening my chest. "You’re human, Violet. You should choose your own," she said, her chin lifted defiantly.I didn't know about acceptance but she stood for the same thing as the wolves. They had the same motive but were on two different teams.This was a losing game for both teams.I shook my head slowly, confusion prickling my skin. "But why?" My voice cracked before I could catch it. "All this hatred... Why can’t humans and werewolves just… just get along?"I wasn't just asking for her reasoning, I was pleading for an answer that made any of this madness make sense.Sapphire's eyes darkened. "You’re asking the wrong question," she said. Her words dripped with disdain, but under it, I heard something else too pain. "Violet, do you really believe you’re the first human to be mated to a werewolf?"I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I hadn’t… I hadn’t thought about it. With the way everyone acted, I was made to believe it was somet

    Violet's POV “Good morning my lady” a voice steered me awake. I fluttered my lashes softly peeking to see Lia grinning.“Can't I stay in bed for just one second?” I groaned, rolling the pillow over my face.It felt like I hadn't slept in ages, my body yearned for more rest.“My lady I would have let you if it wasn't important, but this is your first Luna tea party”“That's not my problem” I yawned, sinking deeper into the mattress.“My lady, please, you have to do this,” Lia spoke softly tugging at the pillow. “Other Lunas from other packs will soon arrive to see you.”Other Lunas?I snapped my eyes open, pushing off the pillow.“What do you mean other Lunas?” I questioned frantically.“It's tradition, before your coronation other Lunas are to welcome you, and since you have quite the reputation you have more guests than usual.”I frowned, running a hand through my ruffled hair.I could already taste the disaster, if the maids were shabby how would other high ranked Lunas act?“Is th

    Violet’s POV I kept going, brushing off the rankled sting of the elder’s words as I made my way through the stone hallways. He just gave me a reason to find Axel and tell him what happened, his pack was discriminating against its people.The madness for power had blinded everyone. I had to make sure he knew about Noella, and maybe even ask why his guards acted like I was some criminal to be hauled around. They stood by my side like escorts, their legs moving robotically as we walked through the hallway. They didn't even speak when that elder was threatening me… well then again they didn't care when Noella was dying,Why would they give a fuck about me?“Here” one of them announced as they turned around a corner, I followed my legs aching exhaustion creeping slowly through me.I didn't know how long we had been at the hospital, my body didn't acknowledge time when all I wanted was to save a life, but now I could feel how much I had stressed myself,And the hours we had stayed pacin

    Violet's POV “Get the doctor, Lia” I said flabbergasted. I was still astonished by what I had just witnessed.“They didn't respond to me” Lia responded, her eyes focused on Noella.Instinctively I gathered the skirts of my gown then bolted out of the room. If I had to drag him down her to check on her so be it .“DOCTOR!” I yelled, sprinting down the hallway until I found the same uninterested man who had told us there was nothing more he could do. I grabbed his arm, breathless. “She’s breathing. She’s back. Noella’s alive! Please come check on her”He stared at me like I was insane pulling his hand away. “I already said we can't do anything else” he dismissed about to walk away but I stood in his way.“I asked for a check-up, you don't want your Alpha knowing you denied such a simple request” I didn’t wait for him to reply. I turned on my heel and began walking knowing throwing in the Alpha card was something that would get him to come.And just as I suspected his footsteps trailed

There was an old lady in a wheelchair struggling to get by and immediately I saw her, I stood to go help her.The lady weakly muttered a thank you as a nurse took over then I returned to where Lia and Damon were.Lia still looked scared out of her mind, trembling her hands clasped as if in prayer, it ached me I couldn't do anything to help, right now all we could do was wait.“I’ve never seen a display like that before,” Damon muttered behind me.I turned to him, titling my head perplexed. “What do you mean?”“You went against two powerful wolves with scissors” he whispered, biting back a smile.The scissors was still in my hand for some reason I refused to let it go, maybe mental

The council members were my least favorite.One thing I couldn't shake off was the question; Did I refuse the Luna titie because I didn't want it or because everyone else didn't want me to take it.Being Luna sounded overwhelming, stressful and since I was a human a huge responsibility. But it also meant I could stay. Stay in this beautiful place where everything was amazing. Stay close to Axel. And a part of me, one manipulated by the mate bond wanted exactly that.There were a lot of other rooms I hadn't been to, who knew what else I could see, maybe talking animals or vampires.I mean a woman disappeared out of thin air anything was possible at this point.Retracing my steps I managed to find a familiar corridor that I believed would lead to my room.I

Every breath felt heavier than the last.I needed out of my head. Without a word, I turned to leave.“Alpha Axel I hope you're satisfied” we've had too much time together I could recognize him by his voice, councilman Reed.I turned around, cocking a brow at his ridiculous statement.“Excuse me?” “Your human mate is causing a lot of problems” the choleric old man snapped.“And your temper is causing unnecessary drama” Surprisingly I wasn't the one who spoke. I turned to look at Elder Azure. This was the first time I ever heard her speak.She was the first woman to join the elders, and as I could recall she was one of the elders my father had genuine respect for
