VIOLET“Mom,” Daisy called, surprised. “What are you doing here?”“Don’t counter my question with another. What is happening here?” Daisy’s mom asked sternly.I quickly stepped forward. “I am sorry, it’s my fault. Daisy was only trying to protect me from...” I glared at Emmett. “Him.”She raised a brow. “How is he dangerous?”Sighing heavily, I went ahead to explain everything to her. Concern saturated her face as she listened.“Violet!” Emmett exclaimed exasperatedly when I finished. “This is supposed to be a secret between the two kingdoms. You didn’t have to tell the opposition.”“If there’s anyone I consider an opposition, it’s you. I thought you were my friend, but you betrayed me. Now, leave. I don’t want to see you ever again,” I growled with rage.“Violet...” he started, but Daisy’s mother cut him off.“You heard her, leave,” she said with a frown. “She doesn’t want you here. Be a gentleman and don’t add to her frustration.”He flicked his gaze at her. “I am not here to cause
VIOLETAs Emmett and I left the principal’s office, I hoisted my head to see my father walking back in long, angry strides. He grabbed my arm and pulled me along with him. “Why are you going back on your words? You agreed to allow me to stay,” I groaned, trying to free myself from him. “I am not taking you with me. I just want to have a word with you,” he growled as he suddenly came to a stop. He looked at Emmett, who was standing beside us. “Leave.” “I—” he started, but he cut him off. “I said leave!” Emmett glanced at me before hesitantly walking away. Father returned his attention to me. “I wasn’t bluffing about my warnings. I won’t withdraw you from this school anymore. But if I see or hear about the both of you being together, in the same space, I swear, Violet, I will kill him.” Fear coursed through me, twisting my insides. My father meant every word he said—I knew that. He couldn’t hurt me, but he wouldn’t blink an eye hurting Axel. I loved Axel so much, and I didn’t
AXELTo say that I was shocked that Silas agreed to allow Violet to remain in the school is an understatement. I had expected him to forcefully take her back. He snapped his gaze at me, a deadly glare shooting through his eyes. “I give you seven days to reject her, else you will find out what I will do to you then. I may not be able to hurt my daughter, but I can hurt you. And I have many reasons to do that aside from even being Violet’s mate.” “Alpha!” the principal groans. “You don’t threaten my students.” “Then keep your students in check!” he snarls before storming out of the office.“You can go,” Alpha Richard sighed, waving his hands dismissively. Violet and Emmett turned to leave. I turned to leave also, but he suddenly called after me. “Axel, you stay back. I am not done with you.” My eyes narrowed as I turned to look at him. “It isn’t his fault, I—” Violet started to say, but I interrupted her. “It’s okay, V,” I nodded reassuringly. Nodding, she turned to leave, thoug
VIOLET My heart thundered in my chest as everyone fixed their gazes on me. Father sighed in relief before a hard frown twisted his face. “Who cloaked you?” he growled. “Who is the witch that dared take you away from the pack?” Suddenly, his phone rang, and he glared at me for a second before answering it. “Stop the search. I have found her,” he said into the phone before ending it. He returned his gaze to me. “I don’t see you talking, Violet. I have been so patient with you. Do not test me!” He flicked his gaze at Axel and folded a fist, stalking towards him as he growled darkly. “I said I would kill you if I found out that you were lying, and I meant it!” Axel didn’t move. He just stood there, glaring at him, unafraid. “Alpha King,” the principal stepped in Father’s path, holding his hands out. “He’s just a kid, and he will be punished accordingly. Please control your rage.” Father snarled at Axel, baring his canines. “He is a kid who has always been on my fucking nerves!”
AXEL“The fuck do you want to talk to me about?!” I growled as I tried to punch him again, but he dodged, punching me instead on my jaw. “You know where Violet is, yeah?” he growled, rage burning in his eyes. Without hesitation, I ducked and grabbed him by his waist, pushing him to the floor with me. “I am so going to kill you!” I growled as I began to punch him aimlessly.He twisted beneath me, managing to climb on top, but before he could throw a punch, I rolled back over, reclaiming my spot above him. My fist connected with his face, and I hit him again and again, mercilessly. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my groin, and I winced, flicking my gaze to that area. He used that moment of distraction to push me away from him and jumped to his feet. He had fucking jammed my groin with his knee. I recovered immediately, jumping to my feet and snarling at him. “Where have you hidden her?” he growled as he wiped the blood dripping down his nose with the back of his hand. “You think
AXELI relished making these players question their decision to join the lacrosse team almost as much as I enjoyed entertaining Violet with my dribbling skills. After maneuvering past two opponents in quick succession, I turned to look at her, ready to boast, when I noticed Zara speaking to her. A jolt of fear surged through me—had the cloak stopped working? Just then, halftime was called, and I jogged off the field, heading straight toward them.“Violet,” I called, looking at her, worried.“She can see me,” Violet said, darting her gaze to Zara, who had a hard frown on her face.“How...” I murmured. “You are cloaked.”“Any witch would be able to see you if they wanted to,” Zara groaned, her gaze fixed on Violet.“Every witch in school can see me?” Violet asked, as she looked around in panic.“No. They can’t. I don’t know what is happening to this generation of witches. The witches in this school, I mean. They are all weak, except for one person, of course, which I suspect is the on
