Violet’s POV

I rolled out of bed before my alarm even went off, already dreading all that I have to do. My shoulders felt stiff, like I’d slept in a suit of armor, but I didn't sleep. All I did was think. The Makili elders’ gathering earlier had left an unsettled heaviness in my chest.

Tomorrow night, the invocation of the spirit of the claw. The elders had made it clear-- it was a dangerous ritual, one that had nearly cost Xaden his life the last time it was called upon. I could see why they hesitated. The spirit was not something to summon lightly. It demanded everything-- strength, sacrifice, and the unyielding will of the Alpha.

I paced the room, my fingers trailing along the edges of my dress table. I moved to my closet. I was still left baffled at the clothes Madam Fiona had left for me. I recall Danya saying more will be delivered before my mating ceremony. I began folding neatly, trying to keep myself busy.

I still folded some of the old but cherished clothes that made it w

  • The Alpha’s chosen one    CHAPTER THIRTY THREE

    Xaden's povWhat the hell was wrong with me? Why did I do that to Violet for gods sake?I used my hand to wash over my face as I recalled the terrifying look that glistened her face when I ripped her dress.I didn't know what came over me. But whatever it was, I truly had no power over it.I've been hearing the muffled whispers amongst the servants, villagers and even pack members since I started avoiding Violet. If anyone asked me why I was avoiding her, I would have no answer to give. Only that she reeks of something unsuitable to the eyes and my sense of smell. Somehow, that girl--- Mira, seemed more attractive and appealing than my own wife.Lately, with violet, I felt muffled. As if someone had wrapped around a duvet around my mind, numbing everything just enough to doubt everything we've ever shared and have. To make me doubt what had naturally come as instinct.And I just couldn't help it. I find myself falling helplessly, deeper and deeper into something unidentifiable.Once

    Violet's pov“Did he give a name?” I asked icily.“No, my lady. Just said he must speak to either you or Alpha Xaden.” Danya retorted.I stood, heart racing now. I remembered Xaden telling me about the village head meeting and their need for a village chief--- but if they could send a messenger all the way here, it could only mean nothing has been resolved. Not unless it concerned me. Or the pack.I followed Danya quickly through the hall, past the servants and the guards who bowed stiffly. When I reached the main courtyard, I saw Xavier already walking towards me.Just then, I saw Xaden striding towards the gate, his face hard.He looked tired. His shoulders were tense beneath his dark tunic, and his eyes had the same haunted look I’d seen too many times recently. But even through the fatigue, my heart still stuttered at the sight of him.Goodness, I loved him.But something was diff

  • The Alpha’s chosen one    CHAPTER THIRTY ONE

    Violet's pov"Ain't you insensitive to ask her that?" Xaden's sudden appearance in the tea room and his loud rebuke kept ringing in my ears.Everywhere had been quiet immediately he challenged me with that question.The smirk across Mira's face was intolerable and the frown that graced Mama's face was enough to speak volumes."What are you doing here?" I had asked him.However, he turned to Mira and asked her if she would like to walk with him.Walk with him?Wasn't he making a mistake?Well, so I thought until he took Mira's hand in his and left the tea room.The silence lingered long, even after their departure from the tea room. It followed me around like a ghost as I made my way through the hall of the castle, to return to our bed chamber in solace. It echoed loudly with every step I took. Not even the clinking of teacups or the rustle of skirt could drown it.What had possessed me to ask Mira that question? Why was I feeling like something was about to be snatched from my grasp?

    Mira's pov"It's working!" I screeched in delight, immediately I was in my room. I couldn't help but notice the look on Violet's face when Alpha Xaden insulted her. Also, he was beginning to pay attention to me.Well, it's worth it. I've been slaving away ever since I arrived here. That's about to end, I'm sure. "Get out!" I hissed at the maid Violet assigned me. She was too slow and of no use unlike Lyra. Lyra.I find her presence odd. Although she has been useful, I still frowned at how she came to be here. Of course, I asked Blake about it when he snuck into my room four days ago.I was so startled. I had forgotten how he could go wherever he pleased if he willed it."What are you doing here?" I had whispered immediately I recognized him, and he took his hands off my mouth."To check-up on your progress." He had said idly."Isn't that why you sent Lyra here?" I scoffed."Well... I needed to make sure everything was going well as I planned." He muttered, settling into one of the

  • The Alpha’s chosen one    CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

    Violet's povMira has been acting strange this couple of days. She seemed too different. Changed.Ever since she started assisting in the kitchen, of which Rose had been furious about, she had seemed like a different person.Rose had been complaining about Mira's presence in the kitchen and even threatened early retirement if Mira wasn't banished from her kitchen.Mira on the other hand takes her chores and tasks very seriously. She had taken it upon herself to brew Xaden's coffee every morning. When I asked her about it, and that she should leave it to the servants, she insisted that was the least she could do in appreciation for letting her stay.She seemed to be forgetting though that Xaden wasn't the one letting her stay, I was. Of course, she looked better than she looked when she first arrived a week ago. Knowing how Xaden sticks to his words, I'm sure he would soon have her removed from his grounds.I spoke to Rose to indulge her, since she would soon be leaving back to her pac

  • The Alpha’s chosen one    CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

    Violet's povI woke up feeling nauseated, my throat raw and blotched as if it had been scorched."My lady, you look pale." Danya murmured, her face ladened with worry as I prepared for my riding lessons. Although Xaden had promised to teach me himself, his sudden business engagement forced me to insist on Xavier continuing my lessons."I'm just a little dizzy. I'm sure I'll be fine after I've had breakfast." I said weakly, determined not to show my fears. "Go tell Rose to prepare something spicy--- to help jolt me awake. Inform her that my husband wouldn't be joining us.""Yes, my lady." She said, leaving the room.I turned to pick my girdle and caught my reflection on the mirror.Xaden was right...I looked plumpy. Was I eating too much?I worried that Xaden would stop loving me if I became fat. Using my hands to poke my body, I realized my breast had doubled in size and my hips were wider.Another wave of nausea hit me hard. My head swirled and I had to quickly sit on the stool besi
