VIOLETMy heart beat erratically against my chest as the bangs on the door continued. I could’ve simply pretended that I wasn’t in here and stayed quiet, but my father would knock down that door if I didn’t open it now.Letting out a sharp, nervous breath, I rushed to the door and pulled it open. My father stood there, his eyes blazing with fury, his fangs protruding from his gums.“Have I not warned you to stay away from my daughter?!” he growled as he pushed past me, charging toward Axel. I quickly grabbed his arm to stop him, but he tossed me to the side until I landed on my butt.A loud growl erupted through his chest as his fist connected with Axel’s nose, breaking it instantly. Blood streamed down his nose, staining his white shirt. I quickly stood up and reached for Axel. He didn’t move or try to retaliate. He just stood there, his gaze remained pinned on him.“Son of a bastard!” my father growled as he tried to punch him again, but I grabbed his arm, stopping him.“Stop!” I g
AXELI scratched the back of my neck, trying to think of a lie to tell.“I am listening,” Zara urged with a hard frown when I wasn’t talking.“It’s kind of a family issue, Zara. Please don’t make me share,” I said, pressing my lips together. “And I’d appreciate it if you don’t tell the principal, please.”Alpha Richard would definitely expel me from the school if he learned of how I have been moving in and out of the school.“I don’t believe you.” She shook her head as she folded her arms across her chest. “Start talking, now!”“Zara,” I breathed, pressing my lips into a thin line. No one was supposed to know about Lila and everything that was going on. Until we found Nina or whoever Lila’s twin was, it had to remain a secret. But Zara wouldn’t let it go until I said something.I sighed heavily. “You are right. There is a reason I have been in and out of school, missing practices. It’s about the missing girls. We have been trying really hard to find them.”“That is the job of the Alp
AXELI thought I could avoid this confrontation for a little longer, but all thanks to Lila, I had to face it now. Although I didn’t want my father to find out yet, I wasn’t going to deny Violet.“Do you care to explain what the hell is going on between you two?” Father growled, his rage boiling over.“There’s really nothing to explain. We both found out that we were mates, that's it,” I said with a sigh, afraid of what my dad would say next. I never expected him to approve our bond, but I hoped he would be a little understanding.“When?” he growled.“I found out on my birthday night, in that hall,” I revealed.“You both have no business being mates. Like, hell, what sort of terrible combination is that?” he groaned with annoyance. “You can’t be with her.”“Dad, please don’t ask me to reject her. Because I will not,” I retorted. Rejecting Violet wasn’t even an option. I have grown to love her. The connection was irresistible, and I was never letting her go.“It is forbidden. The both
VIOLETI had sworn never to speak with Axel again after I found out that he was the anonymous blogger who posted that article about my dad. But here I was, kissing him like my life depended on it. I shouldn’t have given in that easily; I should’ve resisted. But I couldn’t. I tried to convince myself that I was in heat, hence why I wasn’t pushing him away, but that was a lie. I was well aware of what I was doing, even though I still couldn’t resist. I couldn’t control the moans that escaped my lips as he kissed and smooched my breast at the same time, making me so wet for him. I wanted him—all of him. Suddenly, his phone began to ring. He hesitated at first but later pulled away and looked at me apologetically before tugging his phone out of his pocket. I peeped at it to see that it was his father calling. “Hello,” he said when he answered it. I drifted my attention away, trying not to listen to their conversation. But when he suddenly exclaimed in shock and jerked to his feet, I
AXELEverything we thought we knew had all been a misconception. We had been looking for the wrong person. So who was the red-haired witch that was sighted around the time of the kidnappings?I pulled out my phone and dialed my dad’s number.“Axel. How are you doing today?” my dad’s voice sounded from the other end of the line.“Good,” I simply replied before going straight to the point. “Lila appeared to me again.”“What?” he growled. “Where? What did she say? Did she touch you?”I sighed. “I was in the woods running. And yes, she held my hands. But that is not the important thing right now. Lila is not the kidnapper. We have been looking for the wrong person.”“How do you know that?” “I read her mind,” I told him. “She also said she’s willing to meet with you to help with finding the kidnapper.”“When does she want to meet?” he asked.“She didn’t say. She just asked me to pass the information.”“I’d fucking kill her if I see her!” he growled with rage.“She’s willing to help, Dad,”
AXELRage washed through me when I saw the flowers in Emmett’s hands. What did he think he was doing getting Violet flowers? Before I could stop myself, I stormed over and knocked the flowers out of his hands before punching his jaw.He staggered backward, holding his chin and glaring at me.“I’ll kill you!” he growled as he jumped at me and tried to punch me, but I dodged. I swiftly turned and gave him another powerful punch to the stomach.I was about to follow with another punch when Violet came between us and stretched her arms to keep us apart.“You guys, stop! Please!” she yelled, looking between us.“He started it. Why don’t you tell him to stop?!” Emmett growled.“If you hadn’t fucking brought flowers to my mate, I wouldn’t have punched you!” I retorted with rage.He scoffed. “If she was truly your mate, you wouldn’t have subjected her to public ridicule.”“What?” Violet snapped her gaze at him. “What do you mean?”“Oh, you didn’t know?” he chuckled bitterly. “Who do you thin
VIOLETThe following day, my alarm buzzed repeatedly, but I kept snoozing it. It took Daisy splashing water over my face before I could wake up.I groaned frustratedly, clutching my face in my hands. Now that I was back to school, I had to wake up early. How annoying! I dressed up in blue jeans and a pink tank top, slung my bag over my shoulders, and headed out for the day.As I walked through the hallways, I noticed people staring awkwardly at me, with hushed whispers flying all around me. I could hear it all. The insults, show of disgust, and mockery. It was then that I realized Daisy was right. I probably shouldn’t have resumed now. But going back to the pack was hell as well because I wouldn’t be able to look at my mother without bursting into tears every minute. My heart still ached terribly from what I saw yesterday.So, I had to choose my poison, and I chose to stay here... I had received several calls from my parents since yesterday, and I intentionally missed them all. I wasn
VIOLET Beads of sweat coated my skin as I tried to catch my breath. Looking at Axel, my attraction towards him doubled, and I wanted nothing more than to wrap my arms around him and kiss him senselessly. Without even thinking about it, I flung my arms around him and pressed my lips to his.He pulled back instantly, placing both hands on my shoulders and looking at me with concern.“Are you okay?” he asked, scanning my face for answers.“Yes.” I pouted. “I just want you.”The feeling was different this time. Before, whenever my body started heating up, I would almost immediately faint. But right now, I was just downright horny. That made me wonder if it was really the hex that had returned—or if I was simply in heat.“Are you in heat?” Axel quickly asked.I didn’t reply to him before jamming my lips against his and pressing my body to his. This time, he didn’t stop me as he kissed me desperately, sucking the air out of me. His arms roamed around my body, causing tingles to spread all
VIOLETI had feared this day would come—the day the world found out about my father’s involvement with Lila. But I never imagined the truth would be far worse than I anticipated. I thought he had dealings with her for selfish reasons, like acquiring that land’s documents or political gain. I never once believed he could be the mastermind behind the kidnappings.Where did these people get their information from? The possibility that it was true, that my father was not just an abuser, but also a kidnapper made a sharp excruciating pain pull on my chest.“The Southern Alpha King, Alpha King Silas Southerton, has been accused of orchestrating the kidnappings of the twelve missing girls. The credibility of this report has yet to be confirmed, as it was posted by a blogger whose identity remains unknown.”I clutched my head with both hands and let out a frustrated groan. The driver turned off the radio immediately, and this time, I didn’t stop him. My mind was reeling.Who was this anonymou
