Violet’s POV

Dante stood there for what felt like an eternity, his fingers still wrapped like iron bands around my wrist. The air in the hallway was thick, and I could hear the steady rhythm of my own heart thumping against my ribs.

He looked at me with those eyes that seemed to scrutinize every single word he said before he even spoke. I held my breath, waiting for him to snap or to drag me back into the bedroom, but then, slowly, he let go.

His hand dropped to his side, and the sudden loss o

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Fifty Seven

    Dante’s POVI had her pinned, and the air between us was already thick enough to choke on. Violet was staring up at me, her chest heaving against mine, and all I could think about was how much I wanted to tear that ridiculous suit off her. I’d been waiting for this all day. Ever since that hallway at the café, my skin had been crawling with the need to touch her again."Dante," she whispered, her voice a mix of a warning and an invitation."I don't like being told no, Violet," I said, my voice dropping an octave. I shifted my weight, pressing my thigh between hers. I was hard—aching, actually—and I didn't care if she felt it. In fact, I wanted her to feel exactly what she was doing to me. My hand moved from the wall to her jaw, my thumb tracing the line of her lower lip. She looked like she wanted to run and stay at the same time. The sexual tension was a physical weight in the room, pulling us toward the bed just a few feet away. I wanted to bury my cock so deep inside her she’d for

    DanteI walked into the drawing room, already pissed off.My grandmother was sitting in her usual high-backed chair, looking like a queen waiting to pass judgment. She didn't even wait for me to sit down before she started."You are acting like a child, Dante," she said, the second I walked in. "The merger is the only way. And you want to throw it away over what? A mood?"I stood there, hands shoved deep into my pockets. I didn't flinch. I wasn't going to argue with her on this matter."I'm not interested anymore, Grandmother," I said, my voice completely flat."Don't speak to me with that tone," she snapped, her eyes narrowing. "Isabella is a perfect match. She has their lineage as well as the upbringing to be your Luna. You will marry her."I rolled my eyes. "I don't want her.""You are being impossible," she muttered, turning her head away. "You are looking for excuses to sabotage your own future.""What future, Grandmother? I have none," I replied, already turning toward the door.

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Fifty Five

    Violet’s POVI stood by the front entrance, checking my watch for the fifth time. Alex was usually punctual when it came to escaping the house, so I figured her phone call with the planner must have turned into a full-blown negotiation. I leaned against the stone pillar, trying to shake off the conversation I’d overheard last night. It felt like the ground was shifting, but I couldn't let myself fall for it again."Violet! Sorry, sorry, I’m so sorry!" Alex came jogging down the stairs, her sundress fluttering behind her. She looked a little breathless. "I got held up. My brother summoned me to his room for a 'crisis' talk."I felt a slight jolt at the mention of him, but I kept my face steady. "It’s fine, Alex. I figured something came up. Everything okay?""Oh, you know Dante. He’s just being his usual dramatic, brooding self," she said, waving it off with a roll of her eyes. "He was asking for advice about a 'friend.' It was actually kind of cute, in a pathetic way. But enough abou

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Fifty Four

    Dante’s POVI stood in the center of my room, staring at the closed door. The echo of the click when Violet walked out was still ringing in my ears. Nothing will happen. Those words were looping in my brain like a death sentence. I’ve dealt with business rivals who wanted to see me dead, and I’ve dealt with my grandmother when she’s in a bloodthirsty mood, but nothing has ever made my chest feel quite this hollow.I walked over to the bed and threw myself onto it, not even bothering to take off my shoes. I’m a logical man. I like patterns. I like cause and effect. If I do A, then B should happen. But with Violet, the math wasn't adding up anymore. I’d spent my whole life being the person everyone expected me to be. I was the ice-cold heir to the Moretti empire. I didn't have feelings; I had objectives. But she had walked into my life and messed up all my calculations.The thought of never having those moments with her again—the way she looked at me when she thought I wasn't watching,

    Violet’s POVI walked down the hallway, my heart still hammering against my ribs from that blow-up with Dante. My mind was a total mess, spinning with all the things I should have said and all the things I wished I could take back. I was halfway to the stairs when it suddenly hit me."Shoot," I muttered to myself. "I totally ditched Alex."I’d just left her standing there after her phone call, probably wondering where her brother and her favorite bodyguard had disappeared to. For a second, I thought about turning back to find her, but then I remembered the look on Dante’s face. I couldn't go back there. Not now. I just couldn't handle seeing him standing by that fountain, looking all tragic and beautiful while he treated me like a spare tire."She’ll be fine," I whispered, shrugging it off. "She knows her way around her own house."I kept moving, heading toward the staff wing. I needed to get away from the main house. I needed to be in a place where I didn't have to worry about bumpi

  • The Alpha's Bodyguard Is a Woman    Fifty Two

    Violet’s POVThe drive back to the estate felt like it lasted for years. Alex wouldn't stop humming some catchy pop song and tapping her fingers on the window, looking way too pleased with herself. Every time I glanced over, she had this little smirk on her face like she’d just cracked the Da Vinci Code. I just kept my eyes on the road, my knuckles white against the steering wheel. My mind was a complete mess. I kept hearing Isabella’s voice in my head, talking about roses and gentle conversations and a future that didn't include a girl pretending to be a guy.When we finally pulled up to the main house, the sun was starting to dip behind the trees, casting long, creepy shadows across the driveway. The pack house looked as imposing as ever, a giant reminder of exactly where I didn't belong. I put the car in park and killed the engine, letting out a breath I didn't know I was holding."Home sweet home," Alex sighed, stretching her arms above her head. "Or home sweet prison, depending
