Chapter 60:Violet's POV"It will explain why she has a veil on and the classic attitude. This was the exact way Willow behaved," Greg continued explaining, and I could feel the bitterness in his voice."But why would she want Axel dead? She had a problem with his mother, not him... right?" I asked, unable to understand where the feud was coming from.Again Greg glanced at me and smiled. "You are so innocent, Violet. You don't know how people's minds work... Willow is driven by vengeance, she always felt like Avalyn stole her place when she had given it to her on a silver platter," he explained.I blinked and shook my head. If I wanted to understand where all of this hatred and need for vengeance was coming from, I needed to know the entire story."Beta Greg, why did King Talon marry Avalyn if he already had a wi—mate that was even a werewolf?" I asked."Talon needed a child and Willow could not make him one after several years of their bonding. And as you already know, a Lycan King n

Chapter 62:Axel's POVTwo days had passed and the widow was nowhere to be found. Savannah had also managed to escape leaving me with nothing to verify.Rage filled my insides and all I wanted to do was scream at the top of my lungs.I had made a very silly mistake.I had brought my mother's enemy into the mansion that I was supposed to preserve. I brought her and I let her slip through my fingers."Fuck!" I roared, kicking away the table.For two days, I had gone with the guards moving through the forest, searching for Willow. Two days and nothing."Fuck!" I roared again as frustration blinded my eyes.Aunt Emily and Greg wanted me to sit still while they continued with the investigations but I couldn't. I was going to lose my mind.According to them, I was the target in this coup d'etat but I didn't care. I was going to end all of this madness right now.I folded my hands into fists and pulled myself out of the chair and started walking out of my office.But just as I stretched my h

Chapter 64:Axel's POVEver since the first day I met Violet in her father's castle, I had always felt a pull between us. It was like an invisible string tied between us that no matter how far I tried to run, it always found me and pulled me back.When I found her a couple of months ago in Aaliyah's shed, the connection had even grown stronger and as much as I tried to avoid her, I failed miserably.Now that my wolf had recognized her, I understood what that pull was. It was our bond calling for me but I was too stubborn to see it.My eyes moved to hers and I could finally see it. Not only that, I could feel it too. A pull too strong to exist between a Lycan and a human, yet it was there.Her beautiful green eyes stared back at me with so much affection and love in them, that I felt butterflies erupt within me and curl around in a frenzy.I knew what she wanted. I knew what she needed to hear. It was an assurance that what I had blurted out wasn't just a mere word but I truly meant it

Chapter 66:Axel’s POV “Axel, it was a trap,” Greg said beside me.I was frozen to the spot as my head started working at a thousand thoughts per second. I thought I was on top of the plan. I thought I had figured it all out and this was going to be an easy victory.But I was terribly wrong, and I had realized that they were two steps ahead of me.If they weren’t here, there was only one move they could make that would make them win this -and that was attacking my city while I was here searching for them.My wolf sizzled with anger within me as I realized that the very thing I was avoiding was happening again -an attack on my people.“Contact Aaliyah right now and find out where they are. Gather the troops, we are heading back to the capital, right now!” I growled and turned back at once.As I walked back to the driver, my heart started pounding with fear. If Fergus was really aiming for the capital, then he was going to start his attack on the humans to show his stand and then if Wi

Chapter 68:Violet’s POVMy eyes were starting to pop out. I could not breathe, he was killing me.If I wanted to survive, I was going to have to do something and fast. I imagined the way I have seen soldiers jump on one another during practice. If I could just manage to get my legs to move high enough, I could give him a killer blow that would render him incapable of harming me.With a perfect plan in mind, I started trying to move my legs, but the man’s hold on me was like a rock-hard mountain. Nothing I did was even noticeable.My head was starting to get heavy, and my strength was diminishing but I refused to give up, I continued struggling until I was able to move my legs. I had barely brushed him when a heavy thud echoed in the corridor and the man holding me froze.At first, I thought it was my kick that had gotten to him, but I noticed the blood begin to escape from his nose and eyes. My barely-there kick couldn’t have done that…I didn’t have to question myself for long, as i
