VIOLET’S POVI woke up to the sound of soft breathing next to me and I knew it had to be my mates for I could feel them. All three of them. I smiled in my head, relieved that I was home with them and that I had the worst nightmare but that everything else was okay.But I guess that was not the case. “That wasn’t a dream, Violet. It happened and your father really is alive.” My wolf said to me, feeling more energized than I was obviously. This made my body jerk and I jolted awake with eyes wide and searching.It wasn’t a dream?By my side before I could say anything were my mates, each holding a worried expression in their eyes. My heart thumped in my chest upon seeing them but I felt a tad bit relieved that they were at least okay.Memories that I thought was a dream started to flash in my mind so fast my head started to throb in pain. I groaned while holding my head with one hand. “My head hurts….” I croaked out only to feel my throat burn from being dry. “How long was I out for?” I
VIOLET’S POVA few years have flown in and I could say that from time to time, I would think about all that has happened in my life. Sometimes the feelings were bitter, I had moved on but there were certain people I wished I had never met before and other times when it was pleasant, I would find myself thinking that everything happened to get me here.I am finally at peace.I stared at my mates and our children playing around until I felt a tugging on my pants and I looked down, snapping out of my usual day dream. My youngest daughter stared at me with big eyes and a smile immediately broke across my lips. I crouched to the ground before scooping her in my arms. “Do you need anything sweetheart?” I asked the child.Never in a million years did I think I was going to be as motherly as I was. I had two children who were eight and five years old respectively while the little munchkin in my arms was only two.I walked into the house with her, dragging my pregnant self to get some rest bec
Violet's POVI groaned as I fell to the ground, my back coming in contact with the wall just behind. An intense jolt of pain shot up my legs and I winced, mentally tracing the pain to my feet which were twisted backward. That was sure to hurt later. A sneer just a few inches from my face had me flinching, as I pressed my eyes shut."Did that hurt, Violet?" The stench of stale alcohol hit my nose as I fought the urge to barf. His voice was cold, with a hint of mischief lining it. " Tell me.""Ohhh." One of them guffawed. They were four and I could tell one of them was laughing. " She even did the laundry. Isn't that neat?""So neat. They're literally sparkling." My eyes were still closed but I could recognize them by their voices. This was Dave and the first two that had spoken were Blake and Carl respectfully. " How about we change that?""No!" My eyes flew open as I jerked up. My eyes bulged, following the item in their grasp. It was my basket, my laundry basket. " Please don't, it t
VIOLET’S POVMy heart began to race so fast I thought I was going to pass out from it. I didn’t know if I was ready to meet my mate just yet, and fear gripped me. It was as exciting as it was scary.What if he rejected me? What if he turned out to be nothing like I had imagined him to be?“Mate wouldn’t reject us, Violet. Be hopeful and think positively.” Aria said in a now calm voice. She must have sensed my panic and decided to calm me down.I nodded in agreement, seeing as she could be right, and I wanted to stay positive, still holding the late Luna’s words to heart.I felt my lips curl into a smile, small at first before it widened. I had gotten my wolf, just like everyone else.I’m not a freak anymore.I was engrossed in my thoughts that I didn’t even realize that someone had made their way down to where my cell was until their voice snapped at me, startling me awake from the daydream I was having about my life.“A good morning to you too Violet,” she stood by the bars, allowing
VIOLET’S POVFLASHBACK EIGHT YEARS AGOI stood in front of the mirror feeling excited about my new princess dress. The mirror was certainly bigger than I was, and it showed every part of the dress my eyes could catch. I twirled around, giggling at the gift Luna had gotten for me for my birthday.She had been my mother since I never had anyone to take care of me after mine died. My father said that my mother died from exhaustion, meaning she was too tired while giving birth to me and she passed away, and somehow it was my fault.I had seen her pictures in my father’s room and the living room, but I wished I had met her. Maybe I did, but I was only a few hours old to even know that.And ever since she passed away, my father hated me. He took any chance that he got reminded me that I was the reason he lost his mate and I was motherless. He never paid a single attention to me unless he wanted to rain his insults on me, and that went on until I got caught with a severe fever that almost to
VIOLET’S POVWhen my mother died, a part of me died with her, I think, even though I didn’t know her then. But then, I felt all kinds of emotions that were not positive or good for someone my age.Every part of it. Because of my father. He sure did his best to remind me that I was her killer.From anger, to brokenness, to pain down to neglect from the one and only person meant to protect my little heart, and love me regardless of their own pain.I mean, that is what adults do, right? They love their children regardless of the pain they are passing through.Not this one, not my father.And the worst part, it was that I understood to some extent why he was acting like that. And I didn’t want to blame him but I did.It couldn’t have been my fault she died, could it?And yet it was.Today was her death anniversary, as it was also my birthday, and he was supposed to go with me to her grave. We were supposed to see her together, but he pushed me away, refusing to take me with him.Understan
VIOLET’S POVIt was my fault, they said, and for a solid eight years, I couldn’t understand how that could be. I just couldn’t get it.I was twelve back then, and I believed the words of the woman who had raised me up until that age. I followed her lead, and when she didn’t make it out alive, I was forced to take the blame for the person who was actually responsible for it.I was scorned and punished. And now, here I am, staring at the person who caused all this pain with another woman.Sam smirked from where he was, taking his sweet time to finish before redirecting his attention back to me. Sussy rested her body on his, the moment he got off her, and to say I was disgusted would be an understatement. Above all, I wondered if this was the first time she had slept with him or it had happened more than a few times.Why would she do something like that to me, even after years of friendship? I could understand Sam turning away from me, but her? What was the reason behind it? It couldn’t
VIOLET’S POVMy throat tightened on its own as the rogues emerged, moving like a force I knew I couldn’t reckon with. The disdain they carried for anything but themselves was thick in the air, and I tried to swallow the fear that rose up.“Careful Vi or they’ll kill us.” Aria warned, already pushing herself forward so that she could take control anytime she wanted.“But they are here to kill us.” I snapped at her without meaning to.The stench of decay filled my lungs, and bile rose up from my stomach as they got closer. It was as if I could even see the putrid smell hanging in the air from how bad it was, and if I were to inhale more of it, I feared I would rot myself.I stood frozen in my place, unmoving, desperately wanting more than anything to be invisible to them. I was even too afraid to breathe, but my lungs needed air-Pure, clean air.Just when it looked like I might make it out alive by staying still, a rogue sprung out from my left side. I let out an ear-piercing scream upo
