Dante's POV

The heavy oak doors of the grand hall slammed open behind me as I stormed out of the room. I did not care about the council members yelling my name or my grandmother shouting about my lack of respect.

The sound of the pack sirens was still ringing in my ears, and my instincts were screaming at me that something was completely wrong.

The second I reached the main courtyard, my stomach dropped. The smell of fresh blood, burning silver, and smoke hit my nose instantly. I got out of the

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    One Hundred and Ninety Three

    DanteThe afternoon sun beat down on my bare skin as I stood on the balcony. For the first time in months, my chest did not feel like it was burning from the inside out. Every breath I took was deep and steady, free of pain and free of dark blood. The curse was not just dormant. I looked down at the courtyard, where pack members and Silver-Moon warriors were laughing and eating together. A week ago, those same men would have drawn blades on each other. Now they passed plates across the tables and argued over who told the better story. The bloody war that had torn our families apart for decades was officially over and buried.I had not expected to live long enough to see it. I had spent so many nights awake, counting the hours I had left and trying to make peace with the idea that Violet would finish this fight without me. Standing here now felt like borrowing a life that belonged to someone else.And she had given it back to me. She had stood over my body in the dark forest and cho

    VioletThe flash of silver light lit the dark forest like midday sun. I stood over Dante on four paws, my white wolf body trembling from the surge of power. Dante let out an ear-piercing scream as black smoke poured out of his chest and through his skin. The dark magic of the curse was fighting back with everything it had left. His body jerked and thrashed against the moss, his hands clawing at the dirt."Dante!" I whined softly in my wolf throat, pressing my snout against his warm cheek.I could not stop shaking.Whatever I did, I think it worked. It was ripping the curse out of his heart, tearing the dark poison away piece by piece. I had known it would hurt him, but knowing was nothing like watching. Every scream cut through me. I wanted to stop it, but if I pulled back now, the curse would win.Suddenly, Dante's back arched high off the ground in one final spasm.GASP!A wave of black, foul-smelling liquid came out of his mouth, hissing as it hit the grass and burned into nothin

    VioletOne week had passed in a blur of nervous tension and quiet preparations across the border camps. Dr. Lawson kept Dante alive with fluids and herbs, Simon read the old scrolls until the words blurred, and I barely slept.Every night I sat by Dante's bed and told him about the camps, the patrols, and the small things that had gone right that day. Some nights he answered. Most nights he only squeezed my hand.It was a miracle he was still alive, and I wanted to keep it that way. Permanently."Patrols are doubled," Bret reported on the last afternoon. "Nobody gets within a mile of that clearing.""The scrolls say the moon will be at its highest at midnight," Simon said, rolling them up carefully. "That's when it has to happen.""Then we start at midnight," I said."And if it doesn't work?" I asked Simon quietly, once Bret had left."Then we tried," he said. "But it'll work, Violet. It has to."The night of the full moon finally arrived, casting a bright, silver glow over the dark f

    VioletThe clock on the hospital wall glowed red in the dark room. It was past three in the morning, and Dante's time was running out fast.His body was shutting down, and his breathing came in shallow, painful rattles that echoed off the white walls. The monitor beside his bed beeped in a slow, uneven rhythm, and every beep felt like it might be the last.I stood by the edge of his hospital bed, my hands trembling as I stared at his pale, damp face. His hand was cold when I took it. The curse was reaching its final hours, and I knew I couldn't stand here and watch him die.I knew the secret of my royal silver wolf bloodline as an Alpha's daughter. My blood carried the ancient power needed to break the dark magic tearing his heart apart.Nala whined softly in my head. She knew what I was about to do, and she wasn't afraid.I thought about every time Dante had stood between me and danger. I wasn't going to let him die in a hospital bed because he was too proud to let me save him.I pus

    VioletI sprinted across the dark courtyard, my boots slamming against the wet pavement. Rain had started falling, cold and steady, soaking through my jacket. My lungs burned, and every second felt too slow. Nala was snarling in my head, urging me to move faster.Victoria's face kept flashing through my mind. Her soft voice, her gentle hands, the way she had poured me a cup of tea and smiled.She wasn't a sweet mother who got locked away by a cruel husband. She was a cold, bitchy monster who blew up my childhood home and tried to have me murdered as a toddler.And right now, she was inside the pack house with Dante while he was weak and recovering from his curse. I had left him alone for less than an hour, and that was all she needed. If I was too late, she might already have given him another cup.I burst through the shattered front entrance, panting, and rushed toward the main medical hallway. Rain dripped from my hair onto the floor, and behind me, the broken doors banged in the wi

    VioletI stood in the cold hospital hallway, my hands shaking uncontrollably as I looked down at the dark blood staining my jacket.It was Dante's blood.He was inside the emergency operating room, barely clinging to life while doctors rushed around him with defibrillators and needles.Outside in the main corridor, a temporary truce had been called between the Blood-Moon pack and the Silver-Moon clan.Nobody was drawing weapons right now because everyone was too stunned by what had just happened in the courtyard.My grandfather Silas and my grandmother Elena walked down the hallway, escorted by four of our highest clan guards.Simon was standing near me, holding a warm wet towel against his bleeding neck where the silver chains had cut into his skin."You lied to us," I said flatly, turning my head to glare straight at Silas as he stopped in front of me.Silas frowned, resting both of his hands on top of his walking cane. "What are you talking about, Violet?""Dante's father didn't at

    Violet's POV. "Alpha Dante?" My voice came out too small for my own good. A squeaky high-pitched tone that I could do nothing to control. If that kept happening he would find out faster than I would like. He tilted his head, watching me with gold-flecked onyx eyes. Is he going to turn? Luc
