Chapter 2
Violet POV
“Where am I?” I asked unable to hold back my questions. “Where did you take me to?”
I struggled to get on my feet but my ankles buckled under me and I held on to the chair for support. My eyes move down until it settled on the gash on my knees, I was bleeding and didn’t even know it.
“Please- God no-“ I cried lowly nursing the torn skin. It was going to make a mess everywhere, I have to do something about it. A new shadow hovered over me and when I glanced up I watched my abductor squat with a box with the words First Aid imprinted on it.
“Let me see.” He said gruffly stretching out his hands to touch me but I pulled back.
"Who are you?", I mumbled lowly waiting for him to respond but he didn’t instead, he opened the first aid box to take out a white cotton pad.
“Don’t touch me-“ I scrambled further into the seat. My abductor raised his head to meet my gaze, his dark eyes boring into mine, something was off about him, his aura was dangerous yet I couldn’t reason why some part of me wanted to trust him.
"What do you want from me?" I pleaded again this time my voice going higher than before yet I got no reply from him.
"Sit properly", he said after a long pause.
When I didn’t move he sighed and slammed the box shut and raked his hands through his black hair.
“Look, I don’t need your blood on my furniture. Sit properly.”
“N-o.” I answered with all the courage within me. He was intimidating, I’ll give him that.
“You know what, suit yourself-“ when I thought he was going to leave me alone, he grabbed me like I was nothing and carried me. I tried to scream but the fear in my chest wouldn’t let me, it weighed me down that I didn’t even fight him. He was walking up the stairs and then opening a door, he was gentle enough to make sure I didn’t hit anything when he pushed me into the room.
"This is your room" he said, his face contoured in anger. “This is where you’ll be staying.” My eyes were now teary as I watched him walk away shutting the door behind him.
“Please- don’t leave me here!” I pleaded limping towards the for where I banged on it heavily. The sound from the door muffled out and my hands were aching from hitting so hard. The knob turned and the door plunged opened, for a while I was happy that he came back until I saw the first aid box by his side.
“Please- don’t keep me here.” I begged reaching for his arms but he pulled away dropping the box inside the room.
“Treat yourself and get some rest.” That was the only thing he said and he left, closing the door.
Hopeless and helpless, I stared at the door unable to do anything. How did I be such a fool? Entering a car that belonged to a complete stranger in the middle of the night. At least the place wasn’t smelly and almost dilapidated like where we stayed back home.
To my right I eyed the first aid box and then my knee, the blood had dried up and was now coating around the edges.
It took a while for me to get myself all cleaned up, it sting like hell but at least I won’t risk getting an infection, after I was done I rose to my feet as parade the room, looking for anything that would help me. The windows were locked tight, no handles to break or locks to pick.
“Guess I’m really stuck here-” I murmured to myself. I stood infront of the full length mirror inspecting myself. My hair was a wild mess from struggling and my face puffed and smudged with tears, in all I was ugly. I managed to tame my hair down with a couple of finger brushes, my face- well I found some wipes in the kit.
Done. My clothes, they were the only thing I had, and were the only thing I was comfortable in. Even if there was any new clothes I’m not sure I want to wear them, I didn’t want my abductor to think I was comfortable here.I thought about how awful my relationship with Jonathan had been, I’m glad I got away this time but it’s still going to happen again if I go back.
I chewed on my button lips, unable to sleep. My body was tired but I needed to do one thing.
"I need to get out of here.” I mumbled taking another swoop of the room. There was no way to leave except through the door and it was locked.
"Help me!” I pounded on the door hoping that a miracle would happen and ill be saved from my abductor. When I heard nothing coming front the other side, no savior whatsoever, I raked my hands through my hair in frustration. That was when I felt something, pulling the cold piece of metal out of my hair I almost cried again when I saw what it was. My hair pin. I stared at the lock and then the pin again.
“This is going to be a bit hard-” I kneeled in front of the door using my pin to worm on the lock, for a house this big and fancy the locks are quite basic. At the sound of the click, my heart jumped to my throat. It worked.
Quietly, I pulled the door opened and peeked out into the hallway, it was empty. Now that I was out of the room I just need to find my way out of this place. Cautiously, I trailed down the stairs careful not to draw any noise to myself, my eyes scanned every single place I passed to male sure. At the base of the stairs the base of my feet comes in contact with the cold marble floor.
“There is no mistake!” I almost toppled when I heard the voice, “I’m telling you I know.” Their was some sort of urgency in his voice. It was coming from nearby.
“I found her last night okay, and some douche had the audacity to hit her-” my eyes widened when I realized who he was talking about. Me. He was talking about me.
“Yes, I’m going to make him pay for what he did to her.” He growled. “No body gets to treat my Mate like that.”
Chapter 3 Violet POV Mate? My brows narrowed in confusion. What did he mean by that? 'How did you get out?', his voiced snapped me out of my thoughts, I was to engrossed in myself that I didn’t realize that he was outside with his eyes piercing down at me. He wasn’t too happy. “Tell me, how did you get out?” he repeated his voice deep and threatening. “I- I-“ unable to look at him, I bounced on my heels taking slow steps away from him. “Do not run.” He warned with a cold glare. It was too late, my legs were faster than my mouth, I ran. I ran allowing my leg to lead me. . I made a grave mistake, While I was supposed to find a way out I stopped to listen to what he was saying. I turned back for a second to see if he was following me but he wasn’t there, my little race is cut short as I slam hard into a wall. “Ouh-” strong arms wrapped themselves around me to keep me from falling. My eyes widened in fear and my mouth slightly ajar as I counted my breathing. “Where do you th
Chapter 4Ansel's POVWhen someone hit me that night In the park, I never imagined that it would be her. I never imagined that she would be the one, neither did I think she would be hurt and running away from an abusive ex. Nothing about her situation at that point was expected, when I had a meeting with Bruce that night for the update of the treaty, and I picked the park I couldn’t place why until she crashed in to me. During my eighteenth birthday, I realized that my mate wasn’t who I thought it was, it wasn’t my girlfriend, Sofia, who later betrayed me. The moon goddess told me it was going to be somebody I never expected, someone ill never imagined. She was right, Violet wasn’t what I expected. After dealing with the filthy boyfriend of hers and his friends, I wanted nothing more than to take her with me and protect her at all cost. It disgusted me that me that had manhandled her and I was going to make sure to break everyone in his body for treating her like that. When she ref
Chapter 5 Violet's POV “Yes. I’ll do it.” I agreed. "Well you have to sign a contract.” Those where the words out of his mouth. Contract. "Can you rephrase your last statement please?" I asked frowning at his choice of words. “What the hell do we need a contract for", I asked more confused than before. "Well I believe you are not a dunce and you know what a contract is", he said more calmly Thani expected. “I don’t understand, must we sign a contract to make this valid? Is the words from my mouth not enough validation?", I said after a few seconds of silence. "Will you sign or not?", he replied harshly ignoring my questions. "Fine, bring it and let me sign the damn papers", I muttered in clear frustration. When he stood up from his chair with a folder in his hand I tried not to gape at his broad frame, he was intimidating and his aura alluring. He pushed the plates in front of me away creating space for the folder. “Do you have already typed contracts you give to girls you ab
Chapter 6Ansel's POVI got to the office that morning so bothered about Violet, she is such a hard but to crack, I wished she was a werewolf, maybe I won't be in so much fix right now."What a girl!!!”. I exclaimed loudly not mindful of the people around me as I head to my office.I am the CEO of a transportation company that cut across all transportation sectors be it road, air, water and other forms of transportation, I have several branches spread across Europe too, I have built it better than how my parents left it to become one of the leading transportation company in the country.I was so engrossed in my thoughts about Violet that I ignored all greetings addressed to me that morning as I headed hurriedly to the elevator that would take me to my office, I pressed the bell and met my best friend and Beta."Good morning Ansel, how was your night?", Brian greeted."Wad up bro", I responded trying to cheer up."A penny for your thoughts, cos you seem bothered", he said out of concer
Chapter 7Violet's POVI have been alone with my thoughts since he left me, the oblivion of how things would be from now on has got me brooding with several questions on my mind."When will this contract end?", I said aloud."Can't wait to get done with these, it's driving me crazy", I said aloud again.I needed a break from what life has been bringing my way since all these days ranging from my relationship to my stressful low paying job and a nasty job, so I never bargained for these new events and it's really driving me crazy.I laid on the bed for hours and thought to call my mom's number but decided against it as Ansel warned me against doing that majorly for my safety and that of my family and even if I wanted to there is no phone.I looked up and discovered it was around past 1 in the afternoon and I had not freshen up, so I moved into the bathroom to shower and got dressed in no time.My stomach needed food as I couldn't eat well in the morning due to the way Ansel stared at m
Chapter 8Violet's POVIt's been four days since I last saw Ansel and to say, I have been quite relieved because there has been lesser drama, no yelling, no peeping, let me say I've been free as a bird.He had packed for few days because of an emergency that needed his attention and left specific instructions for me when he was leaving and that includes not breaking the rules in the contract and I wasn't ready for another world war 3, so I promised to comply and I did to the letter.Feeding was no problem as food delivery services brought me nice meals every morning, noon and night, a complete balance diet.I was inside the room around 12 noon when I heard the door of the house open, I raced down the hall curiously with the intention of hiding my face at a corner when he comes in and sneak back into my room as soon as I see him climbing up."Hi Violet, how are you doing?", an unfamiliar voice said as soon as I got to the wall closer to the staircase, I have to hide my face, my heart s
Chapter 9I was thinking so hard about how things is going to be from now on, everywhere was damn silent except for the table producing the sound my fingers are giving it as I tap on the table severally with them.I had gotten into the room after spending few minutes with Brian downstairs, the park had been attacked again and it was quite brutal this time around as we took two casualties to our side.The park had been so disturbed as a result of this recent incident and I had to leave the house for a few days to quell the issue the best way I can before it gets out of hand.Several investigations had revealed some people and I had swung into action immediately, I and Brian and we discovered some shocking incidentsThe attack had made everyone so shaken that we couldn't reveal it to them but we hope to tell them soon but nevertheless continue with the investigation discreetly just Brian and I.I had checked up on Violet's family too and I heard they are doing well so I worry less.I wa
Chapter 10 Violet's POV "Jerk", I said in a very low tone as I watched him leave me alone.Well he tried by keeping to his words as regards my family members, his words made me a little cheerful as I whistled a song in a playful manner into my room to wait the arrival of the so called mystery arrangement he has made for the party."Finally", I said as I saw a woman drive in and come out of her car with a red gown and a big box.I wondered who she may be"Friendly or evil?""Will she be able to help me when I call for help or she will totally ignore me?"I asked these questions with others too but couldn't find an answer to them.All I could do is sit on the bed and allow things to kinda play itself out.I heard a knock on the door shortly and I went to answer it and behold I saw a very beautiful blonde lady with a pointed nose about 5'9 fts tall looking at me."Hey baby girl will you allow me in?", she said breaking my thoughts."Oh sorry", I said as I made way for her to enter."My
