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
Mira's pov"What was Lyra doing here?" I thought, pacing back and forth in my bed chambers. I had left her with the Crimson Claws pack. I wondered what that man was up to.Why did he send her after me? Or, was Lyra trying to protest me? Did she run from them?Besides, she didn't resemble the Lyra I came with. Although her voice sounded familiar, her face looked different. That was why I didn't catch on until she mentioned her name.Why?"She's definitely Lyra." I muttered. This person was as clumsy as the Lyra I left with Alpha Blake.Blake.Lyra must be wearing a disguise.Whatever it is, my plans must begin in earnest.Tsk... Tsk...Violet must think she has it all now. When I remembered how they were so intimate on the staircase earlier this morning, my heart crashed.And to think that I was mocked by her. Making me believe she wanted to assign me a personal maid.Stupid whore.My hands went around my neck, hoping that my neck piece would have somehow found its way back there.Whe
Violet's povI was still surprised at Mira's sudden appearance. However, one part of me felt proud and wanted to show-off. The fact that I was the new mistress of this castle filled me with so much joy, pleasure and pride.Oh, how I love everyone here.As I came down for breakfast, I sighted my husband waiting at the end of the stairs. His eyes rolled and widened when he saw me approaching.Again, today, I decided to leave my blond hair down. The caramel gown I was wearing complimented my jewels and turnshoes which were deliberately handpicked. With his eyes roving back and forth, Xaden stepped forward and pulled me by the waist into his arms."You look stunning, my lady." He said. "You drive me crazy, and I just want to drink all of you." He whispered into my ears."Leaning forward, I slightly brushed my lips against his, making him groan aloud."Violet, I could ravish you right here, on this stairs." He muttered."You will behave yourselves, children." Mama chided, coming down the
Xaden's povI couldn't help but notice the evil glint in that girl's eyes. She's up to no good. As my wife led her into the castle, I watched as the girl---Mira, scoffed at my wife.My hunch tells me she's up to something.I wasn't the only one who thought so. Because then, Luna Sera---Violet's mother walked towards me and whispered."I don't like that girl.""Me neither." I said."Her eyes tell me she's up to no good. She's going to cause us problems soon, Xaden." She muttered.Over the years, I've learnt to trust Luna Sera's instinct. She had served more like a mother to me in more ways than my own mother. Ever since I saved her, she has saved us many more times than often, just with her sharp eyes."I'd have her out of this ground before she causes any issues." I promised.Beckoning to Xavier, I said. "Have some men go over to the Blue Moon's pack immediately. I want every bit of information they can gather. Also, send word to our eyes down there to report to you immediately, abou
Mira's pov"Mira?" She whispered uncertainty, as though she had seen a ghost.Behind her, my mate stood, eyes glaring darkly at me."What the hell---?" He cursed.I gritted my teeth in anger at the thought that I was too late. I had heard the villagers say that the mating ceremony had happened that eve.I glanced at the faces staring curiously at me.I must do something if I want my stolen mate back.Of all the faces, one in particular held me spellbound.Violet's doppelganger?No, it couldn't be.This one looked a little older."Mira?" Violet called out again.Alpha Xaden crossed the threshold in two long strides and closed the distance between us. He grabbed my arms tightly as he shook me violently, I thought I'd break."How dare you?" He grounded out."How dare you show your face here? Are you ready to die?" He questioned.I paled and trembled in fright. The pain that wrecked my body was about to be the cause of my death, nothing else.Quickly, putting my head to use, I wrenched my
Violet's povWe laid snuggled in each other's arms as the beauty of what we had just shared rushed through my body. Xaden smoothened his hands down my hair as he softly smooched my forehead with kisses.I watched as he got up and got a basin of water and washcloth. Curious at what he planned doing with those, I leaned forward on the pillow, asking, "What are you doing?"Smiling, he got closer to me and knelt beside me as he began wiping the inside of my thighs gently. I was touched at how tender he was. I grabbed his hands, he paused and stared lovingly into my eyes. Then, he gently removed my fingers from his wrist and continued washing me clean.Tears gathered in my eyes. I have never been treated as such before. My tears dropped on his hands and his gaze rested on me for a while before wiping my tears."Thank you." I whispered.Shaking his head in denial, he said, "No, thank you.""For what?" I asked, as tears spilled down my face."For returning to me." He murmured, as he gathere
