Semua Bab Revenge on The Alpha Who Rejected Me: Bab 31 - Bab 40

VIOLETThere weren’t a lot that could get on my nerves. However, the time I’d spent in Dark Moon had proven pretty well that it wasn’t always the case. At least not with Lucian.He was like a thorn in my side that just wouldn’t budge no matter how hard I fretted or tried to get him away. Was he doing it on purpose? I wasn’t so sure.I had a goal in mind and losing focus was the last thing to do. Especially seeing how far I’d managed to come despite everything.“Your posture needs more work.”Reese’s words did little to reduce the crease in my forehead. She’d suggested we work on my fighting skills so I could better protect myself and seem worthy in the eyes of the pack members.Strenuous as it’s been, I wasn’t particularly opposed to any of it. If anything, I was immensely grateful for the opportunity.“Come on,” I wiped a sheen of sweat off my brow. “One more time.”For a split second, her lips curved into a smirk. Then she aimed a kick at my head. I winced a little as her leg hit my

LUCIANThe next day came as all other days before it had. Forcing my eyes open was the easy part. It was a routine I was well used to. My body worked with something along the lines of an inner clock. It was almost near hard—impossible even—for me to wake up late. Except for the few occasions where I let myself indulge in a bit of liquor.Apart from that, I was usually pretty diligent with when I got out of bed. Today however was a bit different.I’d be taking Violet out shopping in preparation for tomorrow. The meeting with Blue Stone Pack’s leaders tomorrow was something that would further commemorate Violet’s position.I could still remember Alpha Kane’s words.“This woman that managed to snag that icy cold heart of yours,” he laughed. “I’d be honored to meet her.”A small groan left my lips. Better to get over with it than keep fixating on other options. This was necessary, and I wasn’t chicken.My gaze flicked to the side, noting the barrier of pillows and blankets that separated

VIOLET“What about this one?”Lucian’s gaze remained on me for a while, eyes raking shamelessly over each and every inch of my body, both clothed and devoid of covering. I hated it.We’d been at this for what felt like more than two hours. The attendant had brought different racks of dresses and left me to make my pick. Lucian had insisted we try as much as possible. Somehow that had led up to this—me wearing the outfit and showing it to him.It wasn’t like there was anyone else to validate the outfit. Reese was still back at the main house. Which left me to Lucian’s prying eyes.It wasn’t like being under his gaze was particularly discomforting. Those cerulean blue eyes had a way of making you feel like you were the only thing that existed. There was something about the way his eyes would never waver for even a second as soon as I stepped before him.It felt—oddly good.With each outfit I came out with, he’d give his opinion on whether we were going with it or not. I already had about

VIOLETThe phone slipped from my fingers and landed on the bed with a soft thud, but the sound echoed in my ears like a gunshot.My breath caught in my throat, and for a second, the entire world narrowed down to that one awful message, still burning itself into the back of my mind.Lucian Sinclair is a monster, and you’ve just thrown yourself right into his claws. I sat there, frozen, staring at the crumpled bedspread like it would somehow provide the answers I desperately needed.My mind whirled, trying to make sense of it.Was this some cruel prank? Someone's idea of a sick joke? Or was there truth buried in that warning?The sound of the door clicking shut downstairs jolted me out of my stupor. I scrambled for my phone, shoving it under the pillow like a child hiding a broken toy. Heart hammering against my ribs, I strained to listen. Lucian’s footsteps were unmistakable. It was all calm, deliberate, powerful. I swallowed hard. Pull yourself together, Violet.If he suspected any

LUCIAN This wasn’t my first meeting with delegates from other packs—especially when said delegates happened to be the Alpha and Luna of that pack.However, it wasn’t the same as it’d always been. I had Violet beside me this time, and we had to make sure everything panned out to perfection.I held out a hand to her which she eventually took. Reluctance? Maybe. But that wasn’t something to care about. I’d been pretty intentional with what I did with the knife. It spelled everything I wanted her to know.Mess up, and she’d be taught an unforgettable lesson.Hand-in-hand, we made our way to the entrance of the house where the Blue Stone convoy had just come to a stop.I stood beside Violet and watched as Alpha Kane gingerly stepped out of the car. He went over to the other side and helped his mate out. They both stuck close as they ascended the steps towards us.Alpha Kane’s face was a mask of steel. That was until he stopped before us. His smile was near blinding.“Told you I’d hold my
