AXELIt’s been two weeks since Chloe disappeared, and she had not been found despite our desperate attempts to locate her. Aunt Amelia even performed a location spell, as she did with the other missing girls, but it was as if the girl never existed. It was really heartbreaking to see the parents of those innocent girls mourn their kids.A lot had happened within the two weeks. Daisy had gone to the witches’ land, as her mother wanted her there for some reason. So, that meant I couldn’t go back to see Violet. I missed her so much. I couldn’t wait to have her in my arms again. I would try with everything in me to make sure we were back together again.I had spent those two weeks training with my dad and looking after Indie. She was recovering beautifully. She could talk now, though she could barely complete a sentence without wincing in pain. I was just glad that she regained her talking abilities and didn’t become mute forever as a result of the injury.She would be discharged today,
AXELRage boiled through my veins. Everything within me was screaming at me to go and attack Silas, but Daisy kept holding me back. I had missed Violet so much and had been longing to be with her again. But just when I got to hold her, Silas had to come and mess it up.He said we would only ever be together over his dead body. Then so be it! I was never going to let Violet go. If I let her go, then I’d only be letting myself go because she was part of me. And that would never happen.“Axel, we have to go now,” Daisy panicked through the mind-link as he started slashing through the air. She clutched my arm, opening her eyes wide.“No. I can’t leave Violet here like this,” I groaned.“He will not hurt his daughter. But if he gets to us, that sword will kill us,” she responded, and before I could reply, she cast the teleportation spell, taking us back to the North. We landed in the woods.“Why?” I growled. “Why did you bring us back!”“Axel, the last thing we want is to die in the South
VIOLETRage saturated my father’s face as he stepped closer to me. “Where is who?” he growled.My body ran cold, and I scratched the back of my neck nervously. “Uhm... no one.”“Do not lie to me, Violet!” he growled. “That witch is here, right? She is cloaked. I knew it! I felt a foreign presence, and I suspected that. That was why I stayed back, making you believe I had left.”“Stop being paranoid. There is no one here.” I tried to wave him off as I drew the duvet over my head and lay on the bed.“You are lying!” he snarled. “Do not fucking lie to me, Violet. Is she also here with that northern bastard?”“He is not a bastard,” I said under my breath.“You know, I noticed the mark on your neck, but I refused to say anything. But I am going to speak now. You will never be with that northern bastard. Over my dead body!” he growled with so much rage that I shuddered.“Why?” I challenged as I sat up, my gaze fixed on him. “He is my mate. My fated mate. Do you not understand that? Do you
VIOLETI missed Axel so much. I wished I could see him right now and be in his arms, but that was impossible. There was no way I could leave here and go to the North. My father would never allow that. He would kill me.The only option I had was for Indie to teleport me out of here, but I didn’t have her number offhand, talk more of calling her. I’m just here, slowly going into depression. I only eat, sleep, and talk to my mom. Same routine since I was brought back to this pack.I missed my mate so much. I was feeling better already, but I didn’t have the zeal to even leave this room. Nothing out there interested me. I just wanted to be here and wallow in my loneliness.I had just finished eating, and the maid assigned to me had taken the plate away. The next thing to do was to sleep. I thought about Axel every minute of the day. I wondered how he was doing.Has his wound and burns healed? Did he miss me too? Different thoughts kept coursing through my mind until I finally drifted off
AXELThe east brought at least ten vans filled with warriors. The moment we parked opposite from each other, warriors from the east and the north jumped out of the vehicles, positioning themselves around and ready to strike if need be. The eastern warriors outnumbered us. But I was not one bit bothered because Emmett stood no chance against me and my father. I had watched him fight during the combat classes, and his skills were nothing to write home about. The warriors assisted Alpha Richard out of the car and put him in the wheelchair.“My men will bring him to you now. No foul play,” Father groaned, his gaze fixed on Emmett.“We didn’t come here to cause trouble. We have enough to deal with. We just want to take my uncle and go back to the pack,” Emmett groaned in response.Alpha Richard looked at Father and nodded at him. “Thank you very much. I’ll be sure to repay you in ways that I can.”Father nodded at him tightly. “You are welcome. And take care of yourself.” He turned to
AXEL“You wouldn’t even have dared to die,” I told her, a smile on my face as we all entered the room. Mom leaned in and wrapped her hands around her. “Careful not to touch her neck,” Dad quickly said. “How are you?” Mason asked, his gaze fixed on her. Indie looked at him, and with the way he was smiling, I knew she was mind-linking him. We all took turns mind-linking her, ensuring that she was okay and assuring her of how loved she was. “You’ll be fine, Indie. You’ll be able to talk again. I believe in you,” I told her. “Hopefully,” she replied. “And how is Violet?” she asked. “She’s fine,” I told her. “How did it end with the Eastern King?” she asked curiously. “He’s dead.” “Motherfucker!” she groaned. “If he wasn’t, I would’ve chased him to the end of the world and murdered him for doing this to you,” I groaned. “I trust you would,” she said.After a few more minutes, my dad leaned in and stroked her hair with his fingers. “Indie, dear. I wish I could stay with you fo
