"Violet…" Nick whispered helplessly. The girl he liked or perhaps, loved so much was standing face to face with a big wolf, and it felt like he was living through a nightmare at that moment. Never had Nick seen a wolf so up close before, but now, here he was not more than seven feet away from one, and Violet, not more than eight inches away. He warily watched her as she stood petrified with fear and suddenly felt the painful stab of regret. Regret for ever making her come with him."Violet…step back," he whispered louder, desperation laced in his voice, but Violet couldn't register his words. She sobbed internally, tears staining her pale face and blurring her vision. The grey wolf seemed to observe her for a while, seemingly confused at something, but when she stepped backwards, the beast bared its teeth and growled. Warning her to not take any more steps. Nick felt the blood drain from his face and Violet froze in place. A choking sob rose in her throat as realization hit her hard.

Frantic breaths and quick steps were the only sounds that echoed through the forest as she ran deeper and faster, frequently looking behind her. She couldn't remember when or how she had gotten into the forest, but she was absolutely sure something was after her. Something big and scary.Fatigue quickly took its toll on her body and Violet slowed down to a stop behind a tree to catch her breath. She panted heavily and crouched down at the base of the tree, then wiped away the tears she hadn't realized were there. She just wanted to go home?Sounds of snapping sticks came from behind the tree Violet hid making her hold her breath. She nervously placed her hand on her chest to calm her beating heart, before she leaned back and carefully peeped from behind the tree. She saw nothing. Only darkness and thick nature loomed in the distance.Violet sighed in relief and almost laughed. Whatever had been chasing her had either stopped or lost its way. "Thank goodness," Violet breathed gratefull

At the sound of the deep voice, Violet's heart raced and her body went rigid with fear. It didn't take a genius to figure out that the man that stood behind her was the main authority in this place. Just his voice sent a jolt of fear and oddly, admiration through her body."Turn around," Xavier ordered as he watched her attentively, the scent of canalilies with a touch of honey quickly filling his nose. His brows were knit with slight annoyance and his body itched to come closer to her, which made him angrier by the moment. He didn't want this, he didn't want any of this. He excessively cursed the moon goddess in his mind, while he watched the girl slowly turn towards him.Violet slowly sat up and moved to the farthest corner of the bed, raising her legs to her chest. This man had danger signs written all over him and his presence oozed dominance. She openly observed his features. He was big and looked extremely strong, so there was no way she could overpower him. His face was bare

Ezekiel quickly emerged from the car and scanned the crowd in confusion, and when his eyes settled on Violet's form, he cursed excessively under his breath. He knew something had happened when Xavier abandoned the meeting and demanded to return to the pack and now he knew things would not end well, especially for the girl.The back door opened roughly, and Xavier stepped out with a stoic face, and his black eyes stared intently at Violet, who shrunk back in fear. Everyone outside fell silent and the whole environment had gone quiet when Xavier stalked towards Violet, his eyes never leaving her body. Ezekiel rubbed his temples wearily as he tried to mind link Zain. 'What happened Zain?' but Zain didn't respond. He was too busy contemplating the next action that would happen. This girl had been through enough trauma in the last few days and he couldn't blame her. Their existence was fictious to humans. 'Zain!' Ezekiel snapped. 'What?''How did she get there?! Didn't you put someone in

"Sending rogues to attack the pack is by far the most foolish thing Demitrey has done." Ezekiel gripped the steering wheel tightly as he spoke to Xavier, who was in no better mood than him. When he had first discovered that Demitrey was responsible for all the rogues lurking about the borders, he had sighed more out of irritation than anger. Demitrey, the alpha of shadow pack was an overconfident, and sly bastard that was lucky enough to have his pack behind no wolf's land, therefore away from Xavier's past expansion spree. However, his recent actions have proven that he wants trouble, and trouble is what he'll get.Ezekiel silently watched Xavier from the rear view mirror; staring out the window, perhaps lost in thought. He had been half present during their discussion as he sparingly answered questions. Xavier glanced at the rear view mirror and Ezekiel averted his eyes after maintaining contact for two seconds."Demitrey may have a vast territory, but his pack is smaller compared
