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

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

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

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
Violets and Ash Chapter 79
Violet’s P.O.V.I panicked the entire drive and continued to panic when we pulled into the parking lot of a pristine looking office building whose tall glass windows reflected all light and practically screamed ‘money.’A man with salt and pepper hair, clad in a formal suit, stood out front of the sliding glass doors, his hands clasped in front of him.When Hael pulled up to the curb and got out of the car, I hesitated. It lasted only a split second considering I didn’t feel like hearing him gripe at me. The man in the suit murmured a few words to Hael before gesturing to the keys in his hand.“No need. We’ll only be a few minutes.” Hael replied, his tone almost respectful.Funny how he could treat a stranger with some decency but not his fated mate. He glided over to my side, his hand landing on the small of my back as he all but shoved me at the doors. Granted, I did dig my heels in a bit, but fear had a way of immobilizing you.Before the doors slid shut with a barely there mechani
Violets and Ash Chapter 80
Hael’s P.O.V.It’s official, I was going to murder Lorenzo Santino.To hell with his father, and to hell with the job he was currently doing for me. He’d been warned more than once that his big mouth was going to get him killed, and here I was plotting his death.“Careful, Lorenzo.” I warned, taking a step towards the little wolf at my side.Positioning my body so that it blocked her from Lorenzo’s prying stare, I let just a flash of heat fill my eyes. As a wolf himself, he should’ve easily been able to feel the tension thickening in the room. Or he would’ve if it weren’t for the alcohol I picked up on his breath.The fucker really decided to come here drunk. ‘Do not kill him in front of her.’ Magnus slithered out of his cave, his attention wrapping around the pale curls of the wolf hiding behind my back. ‘She’ll be frightened.’‘Good. Let her be afraid.’ I bit shot back.‘If you chase her off, we’ll never get to keep her.’ He replied simply, turning his back on my snarling as he sli
