VIOLET’S POV

I expected someone to come dragging me to Merrin’s chambers last night.

That’s how it usually goes after a royal wedding.

The bride is taken to her husband, the “Blessed Night” happens, and the Moon Goddess supposedly blesses the bond with a pup.

But Merrin didn’t send for me.

Not a whisper.

Not a messenger.

Not even a knock.

Honestly?

I was grateful.

Molly might have been losing her mind over him, pacing and howling inside me like a lovesick wolf, but the last thing I wanted was…

  • Violet: Luna Of The One-eye Alpha    CHAPTER 103 – Love, Lies, and an Execution Order

    ZOELLA’S POVI was still angry.Three days.Three whole days since we almost escaped Wolves-Heaven.Three days since Violet made me risk my neck… only to run back into Merrin’s arms like a lovesick fool.I stood at the tall arched window of her room, arms folded tight across my chest, staring at the iron gates below as if I could make them open again.“You’re unbelievable,” I muttered.Violet sat on the edge of her bed, brushing her long red hair in slow, dreamy strokes like nothing in this world bothered her. The bristles whispered through silk strands. Calm. Unbothered.“You’re still upset?” she asked lightly.“Still?” I spun around so fast my shirt flared. “We almost got caught. I distracted Merrin. I lied to the guards. I risked being flogged. And you…” I pointed at her. “...you ran back because you ‘love him too much’.”She bit her lip.To hide a smile.That made it worse.“You don’t understand,” she said softly. “He let me go.”“Oh, wonderful,” I snapped. “He unlocked the cage a

  • Violet: Luna Of The One-eye Alpha    CHAPTER 102 – Freedom, Even If It Kills Me

    MERRIN’S POVIt hurts.Goddess, it hurts.There is a particular kind of pain that comes from realizing the people you love most…are the ones who know exactly where to press to make you bleed.Zoey never laughs with me.She tolerates me.She fears me.But laugh?Never.So when she stood in the courtyard tonight… head thrown back, moonlight catching in her hair, joking about the guards’ crooked helmets…I knew.Something was wrong.Still, I played along.Because I love Violet.And loving Violet means trying with her family.Zoey nudged my shoulder.“Alpha, do you ever smile? Or were you born grumpy?”I let a smirk touch my mouth. Controlled. Measured.“Careful. I can have you cleaning stables by sunrise.”She laughed.Too loud.Too sharp.Her eyes flicked past me.Not at me.Behind me.Toward the servant wing.My wolf stirred.Low. Alert.Something is wrong.“I’ll get us wine,” I said smoothly.Zoey froze.Only for half a second.But when you’re born to hunt, half a second is more than

  • Violet: Luna Of The One-eye Alpha    CHAPTER 101 – The Night My Wolf Chose Him Over Me

    VIOLET’S POVI wake to the smell of herbs.Sharp.Bitter.Clean.It burns my nose.My eyelids feel heavy, as if someone stitched sleep into them with iron thread.A voice trembles through the haze.“Violet?” Zoey whispers.Her voice is soft. Fractured. Almost breaking.I force my eyes open.The room swims in white and gold.White walls.An open window.Wind lifting thin linen curtains.Sunlight spilling across polished floors.And beside my bed…Zoey.Her eyes are swollen. Red. Rimmed raw.And Merrin.Standing rigid near the window.Watching me like I might disappear again.Zoey gasps.“She’s awake!” she cries, her voice breaking with relief. Tears spill down her cheeks.Her hands grab mine. They are warm. Shaking. “You scared us,” she says, still trembling.My throat burns, like I swallowed smoke. “What… happened?” I ask. My voice is rough and weak.Merrin’s jaw tightens.“You don’t remember?”Then it all crashes back.Fire.Heat.Emily’s eyes.The scream.I swallow hard.“The kitche

  • Violet: Luna Of The One-eye Alpha    CHAPTER 100 – The Fall of a Queen

    EMILY’S POVIt has been a full day.A full, miserable, humiliating day.I told Zoella everything.Every word Elder Ellis said.Every truth about the mate bond.Every detail about how Violet stole her destiny.And what happened?Nothing.Absolutely nothing.They walked together this morning.They laughed together.Zoella braided Violet’s hair in the courtyard like they were little girls again.Like I had said nothing.Like I was the liar.I stand on my bedroom balcony, my fingers gripping the cold stone railing until my knuckles turn white.Celine stands behind me. Mirella sits inside my room, tapping her foot hard against the floor, her anger filling the air.Below us, Violet leans close to Zoella and whispers something soft.Zoella throws her head back and laughs.The sound floats up to me.Bright. Warm.It cuts into my skin like shards of glass.“Look at them,” Celine says beside me, her voice low and sharp. “They’re closer now. Closer than ever.”“I see that,” I snapped.Celine lea

  • Violet: Luna Of The One-eye Alpha    CHAPTER 99 – The Kiss Before the Fire

    VIOLET’S POVThe room smelled like lavender soap and clean cotton.Soft.Orderly.Safe.I was folding Merrin’s shirts.One by one.Smooth.Straight.Perfect.If I kept my hands busy, my mind stayed quiet.I stacked another shirt carefully, aligning the sleeves.The door creaked open.I didn’t turn.I knew that step.Slow.Confident.Heavy.The mattress dipped behind me.“Stop working,” Merrin said, his voice low and calm, but threaded with authority.“I’m not working,” I replied evenly. “I’m arranging.”He picked up a shirt from the pile and began folding it.Wrong.Careless.“You’re creasing it,” I muttered, irritation flickering through me.“I’m helping,” he said, amused.“I don’t need help.”“You do.”I finally looked at him.His sleeves were rolled up, exposing strong forearms dusted with faint scars. His dark hair was slightly permed.He looked relaxed.Too relaxed.“You don’t have to do this,” Merrin said quietly now, something gentler surfacing in his eyes. “You don’t have to a

  • Violet: Luna Of The One-eye Alpha    CHAPTER 98 – The Mate That Was Never Mine

    ZOELLA’S POVThe book smelled like dust… and something older.Something buried.Something that did not want to be remembered.It lay open on my lap.Ancient Laws and Punishments of Wolves-Heaven.The leather was cracked like dried skin.The ink had faded to a bruised gray.But my mother’s name…Lady Saraphina…was still sharp.Still visible.Still dangerous.Threats.Exploitation.Manipulation.The accusations bled across the page like wounds that had never healed.I dragged my fingers across the ink.A spoon clanged against a bowl behind me.“You’re still reading that thing?”Nolan’s voice was dry. Irritated.I didn’t look up.“You’re still breathing?”Silence.Then footsteps.Heavy. Slow. Annoyed.He stopped in front of me.“Zoey,” he said, tired. “Go home.”I slowly lifted my head.“Go… home?”“Yes.”The words hit me like a slap.“I stayed by you,” I said slowly. “For two months, I kept coming to this apartment from Ellis Place to bring you food and supplies.”My voice turned cold.
