Ruthless Alpha's Second Chance Mate

I am Violet Wilson, a petite young woman with lovely doe-like brown eyes, like my late biological mother. Truly a beauty underneath my dirt-stained cheeks and timid disposition. Today I have reached an age to have the opportunity of finding my mate. I've been part of the pack my father is a member of for six of those eighteen years of existence. The pack was run differently as they held slaves that did most of the work. Like me, some were bastard children. Others were outcasts from other packs around the area. The pack Alpha, Frank was a cruel man I was told as were most of the Alphas surrounding the areas. The last several years have been heart-wrenching and back-breaking. I don't feel downtrodden because I didn't always have a pitiful existence. My real mother, bless her soul, had treated me with kindness and love before she was murdered by a rogue wolf pack. Afterward, I was sent to my father Daniel. My mother, I discovered, was one of several of Daniel's mistresses. I was label

I rushed to my small bare room and scooped up the wrapped clothing. I head back down the stairs slowly and listen for noise. I could hear Isabella cursing as she tried to finish the gravy I had started. She was stirring it but the burner wasn't even on. I rolled my eyes as I watched her from the shadows. She had never cooked an item in her life at least since I arrived and would probably burn water. My wolf said the last bit within my mind, surprising me. I grinned slightly and moved more down the steps. Isabella ran out of the kitchen and I made my way quickly out of the back door. I ran across the landscape and into the woods. I slowed and was breathing heavily at the exertion. I scented the lake and followed my nose to the large body of water. Grinning, I began taking the soiled clothes from my frame, being sure to take out the small piece of lye soap I dove into the cool water and basked in the refreshing feel against my skin. I began lathering my soap and scrubbing my skin. I s

I didn't know the Wilson family well and honestly, could care less if the old Alpha's daughter was marrying the son. As far as I was concerned the Alpha's daughter was a spoiled bitch. I hated gatherings and preferred to stay isolated from the other packs high up in the Black Mountains, named for my wolf pack. The rumors were all true. I hunted rogue wolves for the joy of it and killed them with ease. I also ran my pack with a heavy hand since the death of my Luna, destroying anyone that crossed me. Most feared me and gave me a wide berth when I crossed their paths. The kind part of myself died with my former mate. I was a ruthless son of a bitch and only accepted the invitation so the other packs knew that I was still large and in charge. What I didn't expect was to run into the lovely little servant girl. She was young and had just reached adulthood. I could tell by the timid wolf she held within that she hadn't even experienced her first shift which normally happens at a younger a

I hadn't left the room yet and looked up when Violet said she had an infected bite. I questioned myself on who would mark her and how it got infected. Wolf whores got them a lot from overzealous customers and I ground my teeth recalling what Isabella had said about her being a whore. No wolf would mark and mate with a female that already carried another's mark upon their bodies unless she was deemed a pack whore. I searched for the old Alpha and found him in his office."The girl has an infected bite. Do you know who marked her?" I asked bitterly. The old Alpha looked aghast and shrugged."Maybe that's the reason she doesn't want a mate," he growled and I pulled out a chair and sat before him."Was her real mother a whore?" I asked bluntly and the old man slammed his fists upon his desk."No, she was a sweet little thing like Violet. The only mistake she ever made was getting involved with Daniel Wilson. Don't insult my family Grayson or you can get the fuck out of here," he spat. A kn

"She doesn't want a mate Grayson, I'm not going to send the girl off with you…you're just a ruthless rogue wolf killer…" he started and I roared in my anger."Her stepbrother will end up raping her! You'd rather have that happen than let her leave with me as her mate?" The old Alpha shook his head in frustration."She's my wife's relative, Forest and the girl has…fuck, fine Grayson let's make a deal. If you can get her to agree to be your servant and come to me to ask without you making her submit due to your Alpha I will agree and allow you to take her. I narrowed my eyes at the old bastard and agreed not having any idea how I would accomplish his requirements but thought perhaps my old nanny would help me. "You're going to have to become Romantic Grayson instead of Ruthless," my wolf chortled within my subconscious, making me groan. "Come to dinner tonight and sit next to her so I can see how you both interact and keep Jack away from her," the old Alpha suggested and I nodded as I
