Part 03.

“Let me go!!” Violetta screamed. She had already run out of strength. Even crying was useless now.

This strange man was just like the criminal earlier.

“You’ve already entered my lair. Don’t expect to be able to leave just like that,” the man growled.

Violetta froze. She stared at the change in the man’s eyes before her. He was an Alpha in rut. This was dangerous. Violetta had to get out of this place.

But it was too late. The man pushed Violetta’s weak body onto his large bed. The Alpha’s strong pheromone scent seemed to lock Violetta’s body in place.

“Usually, I can’t smell the scent of an Alpha’s pheromones. But now... why can I smell this man’s pheromones?” Violetta wondered silently.

The girl could only surrender without putting up a fight, allowing the Alpha to act on his rut with her.

Until morning came.

Violetta opened her eyes. She remembered everything that had happened that night. Suddenly, she quickly turned her head to the side.

A strange man was sleeping soundly there. Violetta’s body froze. Carefully, she picked up her clothes. Then, she left the man behind.

Several minutes passed before the man woke up. His eyes opened as he tried to remember what had happened the night before. Unfortunately, he could not remember the girl’s face.

The effects of his rut had caused him to lose part of his memory. However, he could still remember the pheromone scent of the Omega girl’s body.

“Who are you, really? I will find you, even if I have to search to the ends of the earth.”

The man gave an evil smile. His sharp eyes caught something beneath the bed. A pair of underwear belonging to the girl.

He picked it up, then deeply inhaled the pheromone scent that lingered on the fabric.

“Dante!” the man shouted afterward, calling for his trusted subordinate.

A handsome man came to him. “Yes, Lord Lucian.”

“Find the girl who owns this underwear for me.”

Dante, Lucian’s trusted subordinate, was a dominant Alpha. The man slightly furrowed his brows, feeling puzzled by his master’s request.

“Yes, Lord.”

Dante accepted the fabric and looked at it carefully. Suddenly, his brows furrowed deeply when he noticed an embroidered name on the fabric.

“Violetta?” he thought. “No way. Maybe it’s someone else. There isn’t only one girl in this world named Violetta.” Dante tried to dismiss the possibility.

“Dante? Is there a problem?” Lucian broke Dante’s reverie.

“No, Lord. I’ll take my leave.” Dante bowed respectfully. Then, he left his master’s bedroom.

Dringg... Dringg...

Lucian’s phone rang. The man lazily answered the call.

“Hmm, what is it, Mom?”

“Lucian, hasn’t your rut ended yet? Why do you have to isolate yourself? You can choose a beautiful Omega from the mansion.”

Lucian snorted lazily upon hearing his mother’s words.

“I’m not interested in cheap Omegas.”

“Come home. Mommy wants to arrange a marriage for you with an Omega girl. She’s very beautiful, and she also comes from a prestigious family.”

“Whatever, Mommy.”

Click.

Lucian ended the call. He was very annoyed by the matter of arranged marriages.

Hah...

He smiled again as he imagined the girl who had been with him the night before.

How could there be a girl lost in the forest in the middle of the night? And strangely, after being intimate with that girl, Lucian’s body, which had initially been covered in wounds, suddenly healed. Something impossible, yet real.

“Could that girl be an angel?” Lucian muttered foolishly.

.

.

On the other side, Violetta returned home, walking with difficulty. Her clothes were torn, and her neck was covered in kiss marks.

She could only hope that her father would listen to her explanation and believe her.

As soon as the mansion door opened, all of her family members were already standing there.

Seraphina quickly approached Violetta.

“Violetta? What happened? Why didn’t you listen to me, huh? Why did you choose to leave with your lover?” Seraphina said in an agitated manner.

“What are you talking about?” Violetta asked in confusion.

Lord Laurent approached. He raised his right hand high. And—

Slap!!

A hard slap landed on Violetta’s cheek.

“You ungrateful child!! You’ve brought shame to the family! If you want to be a whore, then get out of this house!” the man shouted mercilessly.

“Father.” Violetta could not say anything.

She wanted to deny it and explain everything that had actually happened. But surely, it would all be useless. Her father had already been blinded by his wife and stepdaughter.

All she could do was cry helplessly as she endured her father’s filthy insults.

Tap... Tap... Tap...

The sound of footsteps caught Lord Laurent’s attention. He looked toward the door.

“Dante?” Seraphina smiled widely. She ran toward the man and wrapped her arms around his, smiling sweetly. “Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” Seraphina asked coquettishly.

But Dante’s gaze was instead fixed on Violetta.

“Violetta?”

Dante roughly pulled Seraphina’s arm away from him and rushed toward Violetta, who was kneeling on the floor, which was kneeling on the floor.

“Lord Laurent, what happened?” Dante asked in confusion.

Violetta had been good friends with Dante since they were children. However, after they grew up, they went their separate ways.

Dante chose to become the subordinate of an Alpha from the Veyron family.

“Stay away from her, Dante! She’s dirty!”

Seraphina pulled Dante away from Violetta.

Dante frowned. He stared at Violetta’s disheveled body.

“No way. Why is everything such a coincidence? There’s no way Violetta was the one who was with Lord Lucian last night,” he muttered inwardly.

Dante felt a deep sense of disappointment and struggled to accept the truth. He could not accept the fact that Violetta had already been touched by another man. Honestly, Dante had been harboring feelings for Violetta for a long time. Unfortunately, she had always seen him as nothing more than a friend.
