Semua Bab The Alpha’s chosen one : Bab 21 - Bab 30

Violet's PovTonight is the mating ceremony and I feel so anxious. People were everywhere, but it was so quiet you could hear the firewood crackle.I stood there, barefoot, wrapped in this long white cloak made from falcon feathers. My arms were cold, my skin tight with goosebumps, but I didn’t move. I could hear the elders whispering, not in any language I understood, i’m pretty sure nobody understands it too.Someone behind me sniffled. Maybe they were scared. Maybe they were crying. I didn’t turn to check.This ritual wasn’t something that happened every year. Not even every decade. Most people here had never seen it. The older ones had told stories, sure, but even though they didn’t know what tonight would bring.All I knew was that I had to be here. That I was chosen. That Xaden and I were the center of it all.I didn’t ask for that.I wasn’t sure if I wanted it.My fingers curled tighter under the cloak, nails digging into my palms. The cloak looked beautiful on the outside, b

Violet's povWe laid snuggled in each other's arms as the beauty of what we had just shared rushed through my body. Xaden smoothened his hands down my hair as he softly smooched my forehead with kisses.I watched as he got up and got a basin of water and washcloth. Curious at what he planned doing with those, I leaned forward on the pillow, asking, "What are you doing?"Smiling, he got closer to me and knelt beside me as he began wiping the inside of my thighs gently. I was touched at how tender he was. I grabbed his hands, he paused and stared lovingly into my eyes. Then, he gently removed my fingers from his wrist and continued washing me clean.Tears gathered in my eyes. I have never been treated as such before. My tears dropped on his hands and his gaze rested on me for a while before wiping my tears."Thank you." I whispered.Shaking his head in denial, he said, "No, thank you.""For what?" I asked, as tears spilled down my face."For returning to me." He murmured, as he gathere

Xaden's povI couldn't help but notice the evil glint in that girl's eyes. She's up to no good. As my wife led her into the castle, I watched as the girl---Mira, scoffed at my wife.My hunch tells me she's up to something.I wasn't the only one who thought so. Because then, Luna Sera---Violet's mother walked towards me and whispered."I don't like that girl.""Me neither." I said."Her eyes tell me she's up to no good. She's going to cause us problems soon, Xaden." She muttered.Over the years, I've learnt to trust Luna Sera's instinct. She had served more like a mother to me in more ways than my own mother. Ever since I saved her, she has saved us many more times than often, just with her sharp eyes."I'd have her out of this ground before she causes any issues." I promised.Beckoning to Xavier, I said. "Have some men go over to the Blue Moon's pack immediately. I want every bit of information they can gather. Also, send word to our eyes down there to report to you immediately, abou

Mira's pov"What was Lyra doing here?" I thought, pacing back and forth in my bed chambers. I had left her with the Crimson Claws pack. I wondered what that man was up to.Why did he send her after me? Or, was Lyra trying to protest me? Did she run from them?Besides, she didn't resemble the Lyra I came with. Although her voice sounded familiar, her face looked different. That was why I didn't catch on until she mentioned her name.Why?"She's definitely Lyra." I muttered. This person was as clumsy as the Lyra I left with Alpha Blake.Blake.Lyra must be wearing a disguise.Whatever it is, my plans must begin in earnest.Tsk... Tsk...Violet must think she has it all now. When I remembered how they were so intimate on the staircase earlier this morning, my heart crashed.And to think that I was mocked by her. Making me believe she wanted to assign me a personal maid.Stupid whore.My hands went around my neck, hoping that my neck piece would have somehow found its way back there.Whe

Violet's povMira has been acting strange this couple of days. She seemed too different. Changed.Ever since she started assisting in the kitchen, of which Rose had been furious about, she had seemed like a different person.Rose had been complaining about Mira's presence in the kitchen and even threatened early retirement if Mira wasn't banished from her kitchen.Mira on the other hand takes her chores and tasks very seriously. She had taken it upon herself to brew Xaden's coffee every morning. When I asked her about it, and that she should leave it to the servants, she insisted that was the least she could do in appreciation for letting her stay.She seemed to be forgetting though that Xaden wasn't the one letting her stay, I was. Of course, she looked better than she looked when she first arrived a week ago. Knowing how Xaden sticks to his words, I'm sure he would soon have her removed from his grounds.I spoke to Rose to indulge her, since she would soon be leaving back to her pac
