Aubrey Xander and Connor dragged Seth away, who was almost losing his mind. He had every right to, his mate who was pregnant with his child, just leaving without a trace, that not even magic could find her? Of course he would go crazy. Despite the way things were with Connor and I, if he was to disappear too without a trace, as much as I hate to admit it, I would also lose my mind. But I couldn't say he would feel the same. In fact I don't care about the asshole. What matters now is Naomi. My best friend, my sister and my godchild were missing, and both Hazel and I didn't know the first thing to do. Hazel was hunched over the spell, doing it Over and over again, trying and failing to get something. She has been battling with an immense amount of guilt for the way she treated Naomi, even though Naomi already moved on, and probably forgotten about it. That was the beautiful thing about Naomi. She was an angel. A blessing. I loved her with all my heart, and Hazel too, because she
Seth The minute Connor and Xander left, I turned to the nearest wall and let out a punch, over and over and over, until my knuckles busted and the pain spread to every partvof my arm. But that didn't distract me from the pain within. Connor kept in here, making me promise to sit still for a while, he was going to return immediately with solutions. I knew he was only keeping me here to prevent me from going on a killing spree to find my mate when it turns out she was just sleeping in a garden somewhere. But I knew she wasn't sleeping in any garden. Someone took her and I had to hunt them down, and pluck their limbs one by one. Night was descending, yet I had not seen her. I haven't found my mate. Letting my blood stain the floor, I sat at the edge of the bed, scrolling through my phone, looking at a picture I took of her when she just woke up. This was yesterday morning. We were okay. I wasn't looking for my wife then. Now everything was screwed up. Not being able to take it anym
AubreyConnor got on his laptop, and I ignored the way his hands flew effortlessly on the keyboard keys and the way his brows furrowed in concentration.His pouted lips twitched and I had to fight the urge to massage his shoulders and feel the muscles tensing underneath. Why did he have to have such good genes and body? Why couldn't he be like Patrick the star instead?Why did I try over and over again to hate him, and just keep failing?His eyes flickered to me and he caught me staring. One, I could blush and look away, or two, I could own my stare, maybe turn it to a glare. I was a bitch, afterall.He gave a wink, pushing me straight into number one and I groaned inwardly. I'm supposed to be mad at him, not blushing because he set the butterflies in my belly free.He pressed the last keys and waited for the laptop to provide answers, his eyes trained on me as he waited. I looked everywhere bit him, and I heard him give a little chuckle as he turned his gaze to the laptop.His brows
Violet Those fools! Immediately they left the hall in the direction of Seth's room, I began to panic. They were bluffing. They had to be. There was no way they had video proof. I made sure they were no camera on my path. So surely they had to be bluffing. I ran into my room, atudfing the things I new I was going to need into a bag, then changed into a more acceptable outfit. That skank Aubrey, thinking she can speak to me any how. If Seth had opened his eyes and chosen me as his bride, all this wouldn't be happening. I would be queen, and people luke Aubrey wouldn't even smell the grass of the Royal House. But stupid Seth chose that rat instead. The poor slave everyone hated. He chose her and made her into something that became so valuable, he didn't see me the way he used to see me. Taking my things, I bolted out of my room, checking the halls to make sure I wasn't being followed. When I secured the perimeters, I headed to the warehouse, where my mother was making sure Naomi
AubreyThe look on Violet's face confirmed all our suspicions, and I smiled to myself as she froze. She knew this was game over.Did she really think her plan woukd work? Kidnap Naomi then take her place? That was the dumbest thing I have ever heard.We silently rushed to Seth's room, and Connor turned the door knob, opening the door and peering inside. A gasp left our lips as we were met with an empty room, and the only thing open was a drawer, which Connor stormed towards and peered into."Shit." He breathed and he shut the drawer with a slam.We watched him , confused at his reaction. "What's the problem, Connor ? Talk to us."Connor's eyes met mine briefly before meeting Xander's, and I saw the emotion behind his eyes. Fear. He was scared."Seth took his torture devices. I bet he's this close," he showed a little gap between his thumb and forefinger. "To going on a killing spree."My eyes widened in alarm. If he does that, he's going to end up worse than the last time.We had to
Seth The two guards in charge of the hall died too quickly before I was able to get the truth out of them and I was getting desperate. There was blood on my face, hands and tongue, but I didn't care. Someone had to pay for what happened. These people were in charge of making sure that the people in the hall were safe, including my mate. Their main priority. They had this come to them the minute my mate was kidnapped under their very noses. I pulled out my syringe of wolf's bane. "For the third time soldier," I tore and incision on his knee, getting a scream out of his lips. "How was my mate kidnapped in this very hall were you are supposed to protect?" He shook with fear and in pain as I brought the syringe closer to the wound, waiting for his reply. Was I a monster? Yes. We've been through this in the beginning. Keep up. A sweat broke on his forehead as I lowered the syringe. "I-I don't know! We didn't see anyone take your mate out!" "Wrong answer, Soldier." I snarled as I
SethViolet swallowed, holding up a syringe. "Your queen is in the abandoned underground warehouse."My head spun. That place was out of bounds. It was sealed shut and the key was with me. Which meant she stole it. My lips thinned in anger. "You have a lot of nerve, Violet."She shrugged. "You have to go for what you want, even though it may end up killing you."I smirked. "Glad to know you already know how this ends."She smirked back, catching me off guard. "I know how it ends, but do you?"She waved the syringe in the air, deepening my confusion.Connor sighed. "Don't you know when to stop playing games, Violet? Please surrender. " Connor sounded stressed and I knew how this situation may be taking a toll on him. His mother and sister were on the receiving end of the law he enforced. He had no idea what to do. But one thing was clear. He doesn't want them dead. I was sure Maxwell wouldn't want them dead either. So I had no idea what to do. But one thing was sure. They were going
Naomi"Wake up you stupid bitch!" Sheila roared in my face, and I woke up suddenly, the whole room spinning around while my head ached and my throat stung.My hands were free, and my back was placed against the wall. My hand flew to my becka ad I remembered how Violet snatched my necklace from my neck and fear filled me, but that wasn't the only thing I noticed.I wasn't feeling the immense pain I felt in the past few hours as that dangerous venom made its way to my bloodstream, and my wolf wasn't howling in pain anymore.My hand flew to my belly, making sure nothing was wrong.I wasn't dead, because if this was paradise, Sheila wouldn't be staring at me with a cautious look in her eyes."Did it work?" She asked, her eyes examining me, and I followed her gaze.I checked around to see what she may be referring to. "Did that work?"She rolled her eyes, facepalming. "The antidote, stupid. If it didn't work, you would be screaming the warehouse down by now. Thank Goddess that worked. That
