Violets and Ash Chapter 71
Hael’s P.O.V.Like a coward, I fled.This scarred, defenseless she-wolf had sent me running twice now. A seasoned assassin with more lives under his belt than most human serial killers, and I was terrified of a girl.No, not terrified of her. Terrified of what she made me feel, of how easily she tore down the carefully constructed walls of restraint I’d built for well over a decade. They might as well have been fucking Legos to her, as easily as she ripped them apart brick by brick.I laid back on my bed, the silk no longer soft but scratchy against my skin.She’d been so soft, so yielding in all of the best ways. Her thick thighs fit perfectly in my grip, her stomach cute enough to sink my teeth into, and her breasts.Fucking hell.Her puffy pink nipples felt like velvet in my mouth and tasted like icing. As much time as she spent in the kitchen, she was beginning to taste like those pastries she made, and I’d be lying if I didn’t wonder whether or not her pussy had the same sweetnes
Violets and Ash Chapter 72
Hael’s P.O.V.Violet’s scream wasn’t just the kind that pierced your ears. It was the kind that cut through thought and emotion, delving past flesh and bone straight down to something primal.Every one of my honed instincts shouted in unison, taking in the look of abject horror on her face and bellowing, “She’s in danger! She’s in danger!”With fingers curled into claws she lashed out, swiping and scratching at the air. I was rooted in place by shock, my heart actually seizing up in my chest, when she turned on herself. The underdeveloped mate-bond that spanned between us was pulled taught, practically fucking vibrating with her terror.Even human nails could leave a wound, and if she woke up the next day with her face torn to shreds, that guardian of hers would notice. I’m sure it wouldn’t take him long to figure out what happened, and he’d quickly get her back on her cocktail of medications.That’s what I told myself when I grabbed her wrists and pried her hands away from her face.
Violets and Ash Chapter 73
Violet’s P.O.V.“Insufferable, ignorant, brutish…” I snatched my Mary Jane’s off the floor and shoved my feet into them, then grabbed my blazer and forced my arms into the tangled sleeves. “…no good, disrespectful—”“Those are a lot of adjectives.”I spun around, slapping a hand to my chest as Hael’s voice came from out of nowhere. The asshole in question leaned against the doorframe like he had nothing better to do, which he probably didn’t considering he was severely lacking in the friend department.He changed faster than I thought possible, wearing a fitted t-shirt that made my mouth go dry. It had the University’s crest embroidered on the front and fit him like a glove. It was a damn shame he had the personality of stale bread because those arms were easily drool worthy.Why the hell did my mate have to look like every grisly bad-boy I’d ever read about? Lucky for me, he had the attitude to match.‘Next time he lays his hands on us, we can bite them.’ Lacey suggested.I bit back
Violets and Ash Chapter 74
Violet’s P.O.V.My venomous hiss turned into a kitten’s squeal when he slammed on the breaks and jerked the steering wheel to the right. The tires wailed and horns sounded as we cut a path out of traffic and onto the shoulder of the main road. Students walking the sidewalks leapt back, eyes wide as they scurried out of the way.“What the hell, Hael!”Slowly, he turned his eyes to where I sat. Like leeches starved for fresh blood, his pitch-black eyes latched onto my face and held on tightly. He began to lean in, inching closer and closer despite how I backed away, sinking into the seat’s iron grasp.“You’re playing a dangerous game, Violet. Can you not see that I’m trying to get answers? Use your brain and realize that giving me what I want prolongs your life. Challenging me only makes me want to hurt you.” He snarled softly.I bit back my urge to insult his horrible job at parallel parking. Clearly, I had a death wish.His breath rolled across my face, and I had to physically hold my
Violets and Ash Chapter 75
Violet’s P.O.V.The way my heart spasmed whenever he said something hurtful was agonizing. Every spiteful word he hurled at me yanked and pulled at the mate-bond to the point where I wondered if it would eventually give in and shatter. I bit the inside of my cheek, the swift sting of pain drawing me away from my aching heart and back to the present.Hael pulled into a parking spot but made no move to turn off the car. Instead, he angled his body towards me and waited with impatient eyes. I groaned inwardly at the weight of his stare. It would’ve been easier to relive this while he was distracted with driving. The last thing I wanted was for him to watch as I stumbled over my words.“Well, it’s similar to Arianna’s story…only I didn’t murder three children.” I mumbled, glancing up at Hael through my lashes.Hael shifted in his seat, and I blinked as a flash of—of something passed over his face. I had to be imagining things, there was no other option. The war my brain and heart were hav
Violets and Ash Chapter 76
Violet’s P.O.V.Untouchable twins Kara and Kelsi Bloomberg strutted down the main hall like it was their own personal runway, the golden emblem on their pleated and pressed skirts the logo for their mother’s fashion brand. It was obvious they were looking for me considering their slender noses and mossy eyes were turned my way.I didn’t bother moving, counting the seconds that passed by the number of times my head throbbed. Students flooding through the main doors skirted around me, doing everything in their power not to so much as graze my skin.That was fine by me. I’d rather be treated like the plague than bullied.Two sets of long, tanned legs came to a stop in front of me. The heels that the twin’s wore were definitely not standard uniform shoes, but I wasn’t about to tell them that. The tip of their stiletto’s was sharp enough to draw blood. They towered over my head, several inches taller than my measly five feet, six inches.“Victoria, right?” One of the twin’s, I had no clue
Violets and Ash Chapter 77
Violet’s P.O.V.I caught up with Olive at lunch, who wanted to know every sordid detail of what went on when I finally made it home last night. Since I had an essay on the Bloomberg family to edit and complete, we grabbed a snack and headed to the Media Center.Here we had a bit more privacy, which is exactly what I needed to relive every blistering and painful moment between Hael and me.I’d just finished telling her about my sleep-walking episode and the chilling song Hael claimed I sang when Olive’s pitch-black eyebrows lifted, vanishing behind her choppy bangs.“Oh, shit. That’s creepy as all hell, Violet.” She swallowed, blinking her heavily lined eyes rapidly. “What are we going to do about it?”The fact that Olive hadn’t hesitated to include herself in my mess nearly made me burst into tears. I wasn’t sure why I was so emotional, but it could’ve easily been due to the crappy cold I was clearly developing.“I think we’re not the only ones wanting to know the truth. I…I think Hae
Violets and Ash Chapter 78
Hael’s P.O.V.Violet sat in the passenger seat of my car looking just as snarky as she had this morning, her rose-petal lips puckered and begging to be bitten. The only difference was the crude blush on her face from where I’d embarrassed her with Holden-fucking-Cartier.I’d have to do something about that menace, and soon. Only an idiot would miss the way he gawked at Violet, following her every move like a whipped dog.If it weren’t for his father, I’d have ended his life a long time ago. As it stood, murdering Holden Cartier was a shit show I didn’t have the resources to deal with at the moment.The second I became Alpha, however.I glanced over to where Violet sat, her arms folded over her chest, pushing her breasts up a few tempting inches. The worst part was she didn’t even realize what she was doing. Her innocence was the bane of my fucking existence, but also the thing that lured me in the most.I wanted to peel it off of her layer by layer until I was staring at the monster h
