All Chapters of The Alpha’s chosen one : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Violet's povI sunk my teeth deep into the hand that clasped my mouth."Arrrg..." The huge figure hovering over me groaned in pain.I blinked my eyes steadily, eventually meeting the gold eyes that stared right back at me.His gold eyes darkened with something unreadable.Fury and lust.My eyes widened in alarm, and I cringed in fright, waiting for Alpha Xaden's hand to clamp down on me.Instead, he patted my hair down, and used his knuckles to straighten the lines across my face."You scared me, Violet." He whispered into my hair, hugging me close."Um...Umm," I stuttered."I thought you died." He growled. "I'm sorry for not coming sooner." He grounds out, rocking me in his arms."Mama..." I began, my breath caught."I found my mother." I finally let out.I felt him stiffen before he hissed, "Did you now?""Yes. She was in the cottage behind the garden. She said she was my mother."Silence...And then,"She's your mother, sweet." He said, moving his body a little."How?" I asked, as

Violet's pov"Oi! Madame Fiona... I see you got my message." Xaden exclaimed, setting me aside with a thump on the canape."I came as soon as your message was delivered, my lord." The woman returned sharply, curtseying.My eyes widened when she straightened and stretched her right hand towards Xaden who took it and placed a perfunctory kiss on her finger tips. The strange-looking woman cackled with glee while Xaden's eyes twinkled with delight."Madam, it is with utmost pleasure that I receive you. I treasure your expertise in the whole of England." Xaden alluded.I glanced towards Mama, expecting a frown but was surprised by the smile that laced her face."Why, Madame Fiona... It's a pleasure to receive you again." She said,Turning to Mama, with her hands outstretched, she joggled Mama's arms, as she chirped, "Luna Sera, beautiful as always! No one has ever matched up to your immense beauty in ages." Then her eyes flickered towards me and she said, "Except her, of course."As she sp

Xaden's povI paused at Violet's door, deliberating whether to follow her inside. Frowning, I withdrew instead to my study. News of how cannibals infiltrating the surrounding villages had reached me. When I thought of how Violet nearly died yesterday, my bones cracked.Images of ripped opened bodies flashed through my mind. As I investigated the cause of the sudden attack on the villages, I found traces of the same breeds of cannibals that had accosted Violet the time I met her in the woods. They needed to be erased completely before the fortnight. My muscles twitched when I recalled Violet's insinuations of not going through the mating rituals with me. "Fiery brat." I spat, my lips widening in a grin as the thought of her fierce threat filled my mind.Mine.She was mine.Striding to the corner where I kept my whisky, I poured out a glass taking a sip while I lit my cigar. I stared out the window for a couple of minutes, my mind drawn to the night when Violet reached out to me. Our

Violet’s POVI rolled out of bed before my alarm even went off, already dreading all that I have to do. My shoulders felt stiff, like I’d slept in a suit of armor, but I didn't sleep. All I did was think. The Makili elders’ gathering earlier had left an unsettled heaviness in my chest. Tomorrow night, the invocation of the spirit of the claw. The elders had made it clear-- it was a dangerous ritual, one that had nearly cost Xaden his life the last time it was called upon. I could see why they hesitated. The spirit was not something to summon lightly. It demanded everything-- strength, sacrifice, and the unyielding will of the Alpha.I paced the room, my fingers trailing along the edges of my dress table. I moved to my closet. I was still left baffled at the clothes Madam Fiona had left for me. I recall Danya saying more will be delivered before my mating ceremony. I began folding neatly, trying to keep myself busy. I still folded some of the old but cherished clothes that made it w

Violet's povThe day had finally arrived. The day where I and Xaden will finally be joined by the moon, blood, and soul.After the ritual to awaken the spirit of the claws, everyone had been tense and frantic, awaiting the day where everything would be sealed. So far, we haven't heard any news of the cannibals and rogues rampaging our grounds. Thank heavens.It was as though they went to sleep. However, danger still loomed. The spirit of the claw is wandering around, wading off the cannibals. Still, the pack is in danger of releasing the claws to wander loose, knowing its implications to the pack.To prevent any harm, the Makili elders had provided a wrist band for every pack members both old and young, heavily soaked with rituals and spells to keep the spirit of the claws at bay.Ever since, Xaden had been unsettled, sleeping in the hall with his men, rounding the grounds and keeping night watches. I had barely seen him since after the ritual ceremony, since moving into his chambers
