Violet POV I clenched her teeth to stop them from chattering and focused on Jayden, even though Dane’s presence in the room sucked all the air out of me. I think the goddess allocated the entire shitty luck quota of my entire life today. “Is anything the matter?” Jayden asked when me. Surely, I was looking lost. “Nothing,” I smiled, unable to stop the blush on my cheeks. I could feel Dane’s heated gaze on me, but I kept my eyes on Jayden. Jayden smiled back. “Thank you for coming for a date with me,” he said, taking the napkin and spreading it on his lap. “I wonder what it would be to have you by my side forever.” I picked up the glass of water and sipped it to wet my dry throat. “I wouldn’t keep my hopes high,” I explained to him for the hundredth time. “Please don’t push me away, Violet. Give us a chance.” I shook my head. “You are a good catch, Jayden, but—” “Violet,” he said, placing his hand over mine. “Don’t reject me. You are a beautiful woman who is very talented and an
Dane’s POV After I had met Violet in the morning, my wolf was restless. He wanted to chase his mate, and he chased. Out of anger, on my way to her office, I ended up buying ropes and other bondage material to tie her to my bed once I got her.When I parked the car in the basement parking area, I clenched my jaws, wondering if I should make my presence known right now or later. After the way Violet reacted upon seeing me was, I wasn’t sure if she would flee again. She might cause more chaos at the office. So I waited. To get a glimpse of her.Emily’s modeling career was nosediving. She was blaming me for it and not because she was getting old. She put me on a guilt trip, saying that she almost gave up her career to marry me, but I didn’t marry her. So it was difficult for her to get good modeling assignments any longer. Load of crap. But anything to keep her off my back would do. Since Emily’s career was going down, she wanted to take one last chance with a modeling firm in Miami wi
Violet POV Last night was like a tornado that passed over me, leaving me confused and anxious. It was 5 AM, and I was sitting on the beanbag in my living room, sipping coffee because I couldn’t sleep at all. I had tossed and turned in my bed thinking about Dane. Jayden had dropped me back home after the disastrous date with him. I was sure that he had lost a bone or two of his spine because of the offer that irresistible Dane had made. Throughout the journey, we were both sitting in uncomfortable silence. He knew that if he breached the subject of me taking up Emily, I would burst. But the fact was that none of us was addressing the elephant in the room. My mind was in havoc, so I texted Jayden that I won’t be coming to the office today. I was taking a day’s leave to calm myself and, more importantly, to spend my day with Dave since I had promised him I would go to Disneyland with him. Mimzy had never been to Disneyland and when I was making a promise to Dave, I could see hope in
Violet POV I rolled my eyes to get down, but he grasped my hand. The staff came and slammed the lock in place with a grin. “Enjoy your ride, Mr. and Mrs. Llyod!” What the hell? “Did you tell them we are married?” I asked, shocked. “I might have,” he shrugged with a cocky smile. I clenched my teeth and looked away. It was not because I was angry. I was angry, but his nearness turned me on. Heat pooled in my belly and reached my core. Delightful tingles ran down my body. Opal got up from her slumber and was wagging her tail. After all these years, she decided to get up every time Dane was near. As the wheel went further up, I continued to look away, but he pulled me towards him and locked my waist in his grasp. “You look beautiful,” he said, leaning over and inhaling my scent. I stopped myself, but a moan escaped. He licked the skin of my nape where he should’ve marked me and my juices spilled. “Fuck!” His nostrils flared. “You are so aroused!” Blush crept up my cheeks. “Dane,” I s
Violet POV Mimzy picked up Dave to go to the animal kingdom. I followed them, sighing in relief and despair. Even though I was in Disneyland, I couldn’t help thinking of my little tryst with Dane on the Ferris wheel. It just made me squirm all the more. Made me want him more than ever. But I had to stay away from him because of my son. The thought brought tears in my eyes. I had to sacrifice my feelings for my little bundle of joy. We reached home tired and hungry. Mimzy and I prepared a delightful meal of noodles with a lot of vegetables which all of us had heartily. Mimzy left soon, thanking me for the outing. “I’ve never had so much fun, Violet. Thank you so much!” She hugged me tightly, and I closed my eyes. I needed that hug. “You’re welcome, Mimzy,” I said, patting her back. As soon as she left, I picked up Dave to take him to bed. “Mommy, do you like the man who met you at Disneyland?” he asked with furrowed brows as I laid him on the bed and tucked him beneath the blanket.
Dane POVEver since I saw Violet’s son at Disneyland, my wolf was restless. Emily was doing everything to persuade me to take her to a jewelry mall where she wanted to buy a diamond necklace for herself, but I had other intentions.The first thing I did when I came back was to move her into another room. It was impossible for me to sleep with her in the same room. We were sleeping in the same room, but while she had occupied the bed, I was always on the couch. I wanted my Violet to be with me. Spending every night with Emily became unbearable.So when I came back, I was so furious that I booked another room for her and asked the hotel staff to move her there. She cried and protested going there, but I only grew irritated by her.“Are you planning on getting Violet here?” she demanded.“That’s none of your business!” I slammed the door close on her face and pulled out my phone to call Beta Jackson.“Alpha Dane?” his calm voice sounded. “I hope everything’s okay.”“I’ve met Violet Clark
Dane POV “Dane! Dane!” Emily called me as I walked out of the meeting room to the elevator. When I didn’t reply, she walked in the elevator with me and stopped others to enter. She pressed the close button and turned towards me with a scowl on her face. “What did you just do? You not only embarrassed me in front of the whole crowd, you even made that bitch Violet, the Director of the modeling firm? What the hell were you thinking? How could you put that rogue cunt above me?” Fury blasted in my chest and I grabbed her throat with one hand. My wolf wanted to come out and kill her. My fangs elongated and my claws jutted out. “How dare you speak like that about my mate?” I growled. My growl was so animalistic that Emily’s blood drained from her face. She started coughing and choking as tears ran down her eyes. “If I ever find you speaking crap about my mate, I will let my wolf free! You understand?” “Y—yes!” she said as she caught my wrist. “I—I am sorry Alpha! Please put me down.” It
Violet POV The whole day passed like a whirlwind. Martha was pretty upset about the decision that they would make me the Director, because she was expecting it, but she realized that since the management was going in someone else’s hands, she really didn’t have a choice. I had gone to her cube and said that things would never change between us, hoping that she wouldn’t resign out of animosity. It turned out that she was secretly happier that I was taking over. With Jayden, she was feeling stifled. Jayden came to me demanding that I resign because he wanted me to move in with him. Violet, I've become incredibly rich! I am a multi-millionaire. Taking care of both Dave and you is something I can easily do. I sighed. “I know, Jayden, but you know I am not interested. You have to understand that I have worked very hard for this and I don’t want to leave.” Jayden gritted his teeth. “I want us to go forward in this relationship, Violet. I won’t stop pursuing you and you know that.” I go
