Violet

It’s been three years since I lost my parents.

The trial run with Cora went well enough that she allowed me to move with her permanently. But I went to be with my relatives at the Renegade Pack a few times throughout the year. I would normally go and stay with them for a month at a time.

My Uncle Maven and Aunt Amelia are the Alpha and Luna of the Renegade Pack. Amelia was my mom’s twin sister, and honestly, they are great people. They offered for me to come live with them permanently multiple times, but I always denied. It's not where I belong. I've never been a part of a pack and I don't think that will ever change.

I know it hurts their feelings that I don’t want to live with them, but I have my reasons. There’s not a doubt in my mind that Xavier will come looking for me. He’s a greedy bastard and I don’t think he’ll quit hunting for me even though he got my parents. I'm the current white wolf and that's enough to make him chase me for the rest of my days. That's why I have to kill him before his greed ruins the rest of my life.

A twig snaps and my attention goes back to the surrounding forest. I’ve been outside hunting to bring something back to the cabin for me and Cora. My eyes zero in on a rabbit that is hopping along, and I try not to think about it as I let my arrow go and it hits my target.

Hunting is a necessary skill for me, and I try to learn useful skills instead of fully relying on my wolf, Selene. Shifting into my wolf is still painful, no matter how many times I do it. Selene says it’s because I’m not meant to have her yet and that once I’m old enough, it won’t hurt anymore. I can only hope that she's right. 

I pick up the rabbit and head back to the cabin. I put the kill where it belongs before going inside to see Cora. I can smell the cake baking the moment I walk in the door and I smile softly as I walk to the kitchen where Cora is at. I wash my hands and say, “You didn’t have to do this, Cora.”

She shakes her head and says, “Nonsense, you turn 18 tomorrow! I wanted to surprise you with the cake, so I wanted to do it while you were hunting.”

I smile as I take a seat and say, “I appreciate it.”

She hands me a bottle of water and I take it from her and sip on it as I stare at the wall as I zone out. Cora snaps me out of it when she says, “So, do you have anything you want to do tomorrow? We could go see your Aunt Amelia and Uncle Maven and Magnolia, if you want.”

I shake my head no, “I’m sure I’ll see them soon. I don’t want to tomorrow, though.”

She always offers for me to visit with them on my birthday. She thinks I’d enjoy spending time with family, at least that’s what she tells me. To be honest, I think she offers it because she doesn’t want me to sulk in my room all day.

I hate my birthday. My parents always made a huge deal about it, so without them here, I just don’t feel like I have a reason to celebrate.

Cora’s head tilts to the side as she looks at me, her black curls bouncing around as she does this and she asks, “Are you okay, sweet pea?”

“I’m fine, Cora.” I respond with a slight edge to my voice, making it obvious that I want her to drop the topic.

She presses her lips together. She doesn’t believe me. I don’t blame her. I wouldn’t believe me either.

We both know the issue. Xavier Black is still out there, alive and running a successful pack, all the while he is a murderer who ruined mine and my parents' lives.

Every year, my anger and desire for revenge gets stronger.

Without thinking, I say, “You know, I don’t think I’ll live a long life.”

Cora freezes and looks me up and down and asks, “Why would you say such a morbid thing, Vi?”

I sigh, “Because I won’t, Cora. I’m going to take risks… probably ones that aren’t very wise. But… I don’t care! I have to avenge my parents! I refuse to let Xavier get away with this. Don’t worry though, I have a plan. I’ll succeed.”

Cora crosses her arms and looks at me skeptically and says, “Oh really? And what plan is that? You realize that your parents sacrificed themselves to ensure that you would have a good life- a long life! From the moment you were born, they did everything they could to keep you safe.”

Even though Cora knew from the beginning that I planned to kill Xavier, she’s spent practically every day for the past 3 years trying to convince me to enjoy the life that I have been blessed with.

“They shouldn’t of had to sacrifice for me!” I yell back. I take heavy breaths as I try to calm myself. But the truth of the matter is that ever since my parents died, I have felt empty, and an unrelenting rage has consumed me. I’m not the happy-go-lucky 15-year-old girl I used to be.

No, I’m 18 tomorrow, and I have learned that life isn’t so great. And sometimes… karma doesn’t get the people that deserve it the most. Sometimes, you have to take matters into your own hands.

My fists clench and unclench as I try to keep my voice steady and I say, “I will go to the Renegade Pack. I will ask my uncle for me to be trained by his best fighters. I will become one of the best and once I’m ready, I will infiltrate Xavier’s Black Moon Pack and I will kill him.”

Cora shakes her head, “Xavier Black has created an incredibly strong pack. He knew he would have enemies, and he prepared himself for it. What you want to do is have a suicide mission, Violet!”

I throw my hands in the air as I say with exasperation, “I don’t care! I’d rather lose my life and try than not try at all!”

Cora’s eyes soften as she looks at me and she walks over to me and wraps me in a warm motherly hug. I can’t help but melt into her embrace as a small sob slips from my lips. She runs her fingers through my hair as she says, “Violet, I want to see you move on with your life. I want to see you happy and see you achieve all the dreams you’ve ever had. I want you to live the life that your parents wanted for you… is that so hard?”

My lips quiver as I try to respond in a steady voice, but it cracks and wavers as I say, “I can’t have the life they wanted for me without them.”

Cora sighs, “I know I can’t stop you, sweet pea. Even though I disagree with you, you have too much of your father’s stubbornness and determination so, I know my attempts to stop you is just a waste of breath.”

I let out a soft laugh, and she pulls me away and holds me at arm's length and tells me, “I will do everything I can to guarantee that you will live and for you to end Xavier once and for all. But… I need you to do me a favor.”

I tilt my head to the side in confusion and I ask, “What is that?”

The corner of her mouth twitches up, and she says, “I’d like to train you a little myself. I understand if you want to live at the Renegade Pack, but how about once a week, the two of us do some training?”

My eyebrows furrow in confusion as I ask her, “What kind of training?”

She gives me a mischievous smile and waves her hand around as she says, “The magical kind, dear. After all, magic runs in your blood.”

Ugh. I don’t know if I can read this knowing that her parents died. The last book was good but painful.

Because when he marked her, he was able to take away her gift. He holds her power and give it back to her if she ever wants it, but she seems thrilled about no longer seeing when people will die.Mom and dad still live at the pack house, but they are enjoying no longer being in charge and getting to fully focus on Felicity.

  • The Alpha's Daughter's Revenge   Chapter 56 | Love

    QuirinaBryce, Charlie, and Harper and I headed home after only two days after the fight. There weren’t many survivors left that were a part of the trafficking ring, but there were tons of kids in the school. My parents along with Magnolia and Hendrix are meeting up with other pack leaders and trying to split up the rest of the people appropriately. There will be no more Supernatural Academy and no more trafficking.I mean, we know it’s impossible to completely abolish all trafficking, but we have done our part and this has helped to take down a huge contributor. I’m ready to be back home, the desire to be some place familiar and to unwind after all the recent events. Bryce had marked me, but I still haven’t marked him, it hasn’t felt right. He’s practically buzzing and glowing with some energy he has now. I don’t know exactly what it is, but I know he received some of the powers that I absorbed.I haven’t even discovered everything I absorbed in that moment. I was so desperate to be

    BryceThe door opened and we had been expecting more guards or for more prisoners. But now, Phoenix Stone walks into the room.All the guards that had been sitting without a care in the world suddenly stand at attention. I watch in fascination as dark black swirls crawl up Phoenix’s arms and he smirks, “If I were you, I would lock yourself in one of the cages. Or else I’ll make you crumble like the rest of them.”Most of the guards seemed concerned as soon as he said that. Everyone has heard of what Alpha Stone is capable of, and everyone knows that he would do anything for his family and for the legacy he had created. But there’s a couple of guards who doubt him. And one asks, “What do you mean by the rest of them?”Phoenix gives the most wicked smile I’ve ever seen, it’s almost bone-chilling in it’s ruthlessness as he says, “You would not be my first death of day. Now, I will count to five and whoever is out of the cells, well… we’ll get to have some fun.”After that announcement p

    QuirinaI think most people would find it odd if I told them that I actually thrive off of chaos. But the moment that I zapped the cameras and everything went down, I took off running. I could hear the whole mansion as it descended into chaos. Everyone complaining, trying to keep guard of their current prisoners, and trying too figure out what the hell happened to me.I can’t help but smirk to myself as I run. I don’t know where I’m going or what exactly I’m doing, but I’ve caused enough chaos that I have time to search without instantly getting caught. I find a stairwell and run down it as fast as my legs can carry me. The first door I see on my right, I open to turn into only to be instantly met by a group of five warriors. I close the door back and take off running back down the stairs, I hear them behind me. Fear is gripping my heart now as I am more panicked than before.I enjoy chaos, but I don’t enjoy the adrenaline that comes with it. It makes me struggle to think clearly and

  • The Alpha's Daughter's Revenge   Chapter 53 | Make It Happen

    QuirinaI have to get out. I have to find help. I don’t know what I’m going to do… they’ll figure it out as soon as I leave the mansion and then I’ll be captured before I get anywhere close to the pack borders.My mind is reeling as I rush from one room to the next hopefully getting further from the danger but honestly who knows? I’m running on instinct here.I need to find my family, all of them. Because regardless if we’re blood related or not, we are all family. I try to reach out through the mind link but I huff in frustration as I realize no one is connecting with me.I let out a low grumble and then focus on my surroundings. I haven’t found a single room with a window for me to look outside, I haven’t run into anyone. This is a little too suspicious, wouldn’t there be a lot of people looking for me? My eyes flicker around the room, trying to uncover some answer that I haven’t been able to figure out yet. And my body tenses when I figure out the reason. There’s a camera, it’s sm

  • The Alpha's Daughter's Revenge   Chapter 52 | Headmaster

    QuirinaThe room is too quiet, too cold, too… unnerving.The headmaster looks at me, I’m currently cursing myself for not asking his name. The fact that he knows mine but I don’t know his makes me uneasy. He smiles at me and says, “I don’t know where your parents are, Ms. Stone.”I narrow my eyes at him and spit out, “Liar.”The corner of his mouth twitches up in an amused smirk, like he is enjoying knowing that he is able to get a rise out of me. I want to punch him in the face for it.He gestures towards the chair and says, “Please, take a seat, let us talk like adults.” The way he speaks to me is patronizing, my hands ball up into fists out of frustration. His hazel eyes flicker down to my hands before looking up at me and he says, “I assume you would want to do things properly considering you are about to take the Alpha position. You don’t want to start off with a bad reputation.”I snap at him, “I think you and I both know that my reputation doesn’t matter. It already isn’t in st
