LOGINVioletI walked back into the main pack house through the large side doors, the cool air inside hitting my skin.As I walked down the long carpeted hallway, I noticed a tiny, sharp piece of glass stuck to the sleeve of my sweater.I flicked it off with my fingernail, watching it disappear into the rug. My heart was beating at a normal pace, and my mind felt sharp and locked in after putting Trixie in her place.I didn't feel panicked or shaken by her little stunt at all. I felt incredibly calm, almost energized by the fact that I had handled her without needing any help.I headed straight up the grand staircase, wanting to get to our guest bedroom as fast as possible. The house was still quiet, most of the guards and omegas probably busy with their daily duties or staying out of the way.I pushed our bedroom doors open, walked inside, and shut them firmly behind me. I walked right into the bathroom and turned the faucet on, letting the warm water fill the sink.I washed my hands thoro
DanteThe level of testosterone and smoke inside Alpha Thomas's office was thick enough to choke a person.Cigar smoke hung in gray layers over the massive mahogany table in the center of the room.But the smoke wasn't the real problem.The real problem was the wave of dominant Alpha pheromones filling every single corner of the space.Alpha Thomas was sitting on my left, his old face twisted into a mask rage.Alpha Marcus, the head of the rival neighboring pack, sat directly across from him.Marcus was younger, his thick jaw clenched tightly as he glared back at Thomas with dark, murderous eyes.The silent threats bouncing back and forth between the two old wolves were practically vibrating through the floorboards.I sat at the head of the long table, leaning back in my leather chair with my arms crossed over my chest.I was getting annoyed by the petty posturing happening right in front of me. I had just buried my sister, my mind was entirely focused on Violet, and yet I was stuck p
VioletThe heat hit me instantly as the ceiling vents clicked shut. I turned back around to face Trixie, watching her expression change from angry to a bad imitation of pure shock."Oh my god, what just happened?" Trixie cried out, her voice dripping with fake panic."The door is locked from the outside," I said, keeping my voice level."This is insane. Someone must have messed with the security system," she said, looking around the glass room."Are you seriously going to pretend you don't know what's happening right now?" I asked.Trixie gasped, putting a hand over her heart like I had just insulted her entire lineage."Are you accusing me of locking us in here? I'm trapped too, Violet," she said, her voice rising an octave."You're trapped because you're stupid," I replied, crossing my arms over my chest.A tiny, satisfied twitch appeared at the corner of her lips before she quickly covered it up with another frown.She thought she was so clever, thinking she could trap me in a ho
VioletThe sun was barely up when Dante started tossing and turning next to me.I opened my eyes and saw him staring at the ceiling with a heavy frown."You are thinking too loud," I mumbled, rolling over to rest my arm on his chest.Dante let out a low sigh and turned his head to look at me."I have to go to this meeting in an hour," he said, running a hand through his messy hair."I know," I replied, tracing a circle on his chest."I hate leaving you alone in this house, especially after last night," he muttered."Because of Trixie?" I asked, raising an eyebrow."She's a brat, Violet. I don't trust her or her father right now," he said.I chuckled softly and leaned up to kiss his jaw."Dante, I’m the Luna of the strongest pack. I think I can handle a spoiled wolf," I told him."I know you can. But I still don't like it," he said, wrapping his arms around my waist."I'll be fine. Just go fix this stupid border fight so we can go home," I said.He stared at me for a long moment before
VioletMorning light filtered through the heavy curtains of the guest room, casting a soft golden glow over the rumpled sheets. I stirred slowly, my body still deliciously heavy from sleep and the warmth of Dante pressed against my back. His arm was draped possessively over my waist, fingers splayed across my stomach like he couldn’t bear even an inch of space between us.I smiled into the pillow, remembering the way his eyes had burned with pride the entire dinner after I’d put Trixie in her place. He’d barely been able to keep his hands off me once we got back to the room.“Morning, my fierce little Luna,” Dante murmured, his voice rough with sleep and unmistakable satisfaction. He nuzzled into the curve of my neck, pressing a slow, open-mouthed kiss there that sent a shiver down my spine. “Still can’t stop thinking about that growl you let out last night. Fuck, Violet… I’ve never been so turned on in my life.”I let out a soft laugh and rolled over to face him, our noses brushing.
VioletSo we did not in fact end up going to the beach house.My bags were packed with bikinis and sundresses, but plans change fast when you are married to an Alpha.Instead of sitting on a sandy beach listening to the ocean waves, I was sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV watching trees blur past.Dante had his right hand on the steering wheel and his left hand gripped around mine.He looked tired, the dark circles under his eyes still showing from the funeral.A massive fight had broken out between two neighboring packs, and as the regional Alpha, Dante had to go fix it before it turned into a full bloodbath.I looked out the window and sighed."I know," Dante said, pulling my hand up to kiss the back of it."I wanted the beach too," he muttered, keeping his eyes on the road."It is fine," I replied, squeezing his hand back."Duty calls or whatever," I said, though my voice sounded flat even to me."We will get our break soon, I promise," he said.I just nodded because I did no
VIOLET'S POV"That's it, take five," Our instructor said, and I let out a sigh, as I reached the floor like a puddle of slime.I looked around to see that I was the first one on the floor not surprising... I'm the weakest one here.We had been running for hours. Not the dramatic kind with screaming
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
Violet's POVTwo months laterI never wanted to be a boy but that's the only way I knew how to survive.....“Catch that thief!” A man's voice echoed through the streets, and I tried my best to push through.My feet pounded against the pavement as I tore through the market crowd, clutching my bag to
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
