Violet

The morning sun hit the floorboards of my room, but it didn't make me feel warm at all. Yesterday had been a success, a huge party for the pack that everyone was still talking about, but none of that mattered to me today.

Today was the anniversary of my mother's death.

The weight of her absence felt heavier than usual, pressing down on my chest until I could barely breathe in my own room. I needed some air.

I slipped out the back door without a proper coat, not even caring that the morn

    VioletA few hours before...I walked fast down the dimly lit hallway of the West wing, right beside Simon.The guard who called us was practically sprinting ahead, keeping his hand near his belt weapon the whole time."What do you think is going on?" I whispered, glancing over at my brother."I don't know," Simon replied, his white hair catching the faint light from the wall sconces. "But Grandpa Silas doesn't call urgent meetings in the West wing unless something huge happened."We reached the doors at the end of the corridor, and the guard opened them without knocking.The conference room was huge, dominated by a long polished table surrounded by high-backed leather chairs.Grandfather Silas was standing near the head of the table, his walking stick resting against his knee.Grandmother Elena was sitting right beside him, her snow-white hair tied in a sleek bun, her face looking pale and solemn."Sit down, both of you," Silas commanded softly, waving his hand toward the empty seats

    DanteI slammed the SUV door open, sprinting headfirst into the dark forest after Simon.My boots tore into the thick dirt and dry leaves, the cold night air rushing against my face as my wolf sight locked onto his moving silhouette through the trees.Rage was screaming through my veins, drowning out every warning sign my dying body was trying to give me."Simon!" I roared into the dark woods, the sound ripping straight from the bottom of my lungs.He was fast, weaving between the giant pine trunks like a ghost who knew every inch of this territory.I didn't care how fast he was or how well he knew these woods.He blew up my wife, and he wasn't going to make it out of this forest alive tonight.I vaulted over a fallen tree trunk, my steps closing the distance between us second by second."Stop right there, you coward!" I shouted, my voice echoing off the surrounding cliffs.Simon suddenly spun around mid-stride, pulling a sleek dark bow from behind his shoulder in one smooth, practice

    DanteI fought them like a wounded, rabid animal, kicking, punch-striking, and growling, but my weakened body couldn't overpower five healthy guards at once.The curse inside my chest flared up violently, making me cough up dark blood onto the gravel as my strength drained rapidly away.We stayed there on the ground for what felt like an eternity, the guards weeping as they held me down, while I watched the house burn to ash.The heat from the towering flames was so hot it scorched the grass around us and turned the front gravel red hot.After about twenty minutes, the loud, wailing sirens of the local fire department echoed through the mountain trees.Three red fire trucks pulled into the wide driveway, their bright red and blue lights flashing frantically through the dark night air.Firefighters jumped out, dragging hoses toward the burning estate, blasting high-pressure water onto the roaring flames.Thick white steam filled the air, mixing with the dark smoke as the loud hiss of w

    DanteI pressed my foot down hard on the gas pedal, making the SUV engine roar loudly as I sped down the dark, winding mountain road.My hands were gripping the leather steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white.My heart was pounding wildly against my ribs, and my chest felt tight, and suffocating.I didn't care about the sharp, burning pain throbbing in my chest from the curse.I didn't care that the doctor gave me two weeks to live or that my grandmother begged me to stay in that stupid hospital bed.The only thing that mattered to me in this world was reaching the vacation house and seeing Violet's face again."Just hold on, Violet," I muttered out loud to myself, staring through the dark windshield at the empty asphalt. "I'm coming. I'm almost there, baby."I had been such a idiot for leaving her alone out in the middle of nowhere for three straight days.I thought I was protecting her by keeping her far away from Gwen, Doctor Evans, and all the toxic council politic

    VioletI stood in the center of the dusty training arena, wiping sweat off my forehead with the back of my hand.My right shoulder was still sore from the gunshot wound, but the pain was starting to fade thanks to my fast wolf healing.Simon stood a few feet away from me, holding a pair of wooden training daggers in his hands."Again," Simon said, tossing one of the wooden daggers across the dirt toward my feet."I've already blocked your moves twenty times, Simon," I groaned, bending down to pick up the wooden blade."Dante isn't going to fight fair when he comes for you, Violet," Simon snapped back, his snow-white hair tied back in a messy knot. "Pick up the dagger and focus."I gritted my teeth, gripping the wooden handle tight as I took my stance.I rushed forward, swinging the wooden blade at his side in a fast, sloppy arc.Simon didn't even blink.He ducked under my swing with ease, spun around behind me, and swept my legs right out from under me.I hit the hard dirt floor with

    DanteMy eyes snapped open, the harsh lights above blinding me instantly.The smell of bleach and sharp antiseptic hit my throat, making me cough violently as my head throbbed.I sat up fast, but my body felt like lead, heavy and drained of energy.I looked down at my left arm and saw a clear plastic tube taped to my skin, dripping liquid into my vein."What the hell is this junk doing in me?" I grumbled, grabbing the plastic needle with my right hand.I gripped the tape firmly, ready to rip the damn thing straight out of my skin."Woah, Dante! Don't pull that out!" Bret shouted, sprinting across the room toward my bed.He grabbed my wrist with both hands, shoving my arm back down onto the white mattress before I could yank the needle out."Get your hands off me, Bret," I growled, my voice rough and flat as I glared at him."You need that IV in you," Bret said, breathing heavy while releasing my wrist slowly. "Just sit back and relax for five seconds.""I don't want to fucking relax,"

    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

    DANTE'S POV I stepped out of the car, taking in the house in front of me while my men spent the small seconds doing a sweep. It had to be one of the blandest houses I had seen, white all through, probably because of all the shady stuff that happened behind those wooden doors. I never liked to
