Jake's POV"Why are you back?" I asked Kimberly who had already shoved me walking right into the house."Violet!" She yelled. When she didn't get a response she went upstairs to Violet's room completely ignoring me like I wasn't visible. The audacity of her to do that to me in my own house.It was 9 pm already and the others had left. Kimberly left too. But she came back and is in Violet's room right now.Should I go eavesdrop? Nah, how will they think of me if I'm caught? But then again, I'm really curious. In the end, I decided against it and waited patiently for them on the couch.Violet's POV,"I don't want to go again," I whined amidst Kimberly's cajoling."But you promised, you just can't leave me hanging like this!" Kimberly pouted as she tried to get me to stand up from the bed."I changed my mind. There's no point in going.""There are many points" Kimberly's eyes widened as she started listing them, "there are hot men, good wine, blasting loud music, and then there's dancing
Violet's POVI had already braced myself for the loud music when I agreed to come here with Kimberly, but I didn't expect the cacophony of an excuse for music that threatened to deafen me."I'll just go get us some drinks, you can seat over there," Kimberly said pointing at an empty couch in the lounge before she left swaying her hips to the music.Now I was alone. I had no idea what to do. It was not my first time coming to a club, but it's been a while since I came here.I tried squeezing myself so one of those sweaty bodies won't touch me as I walked to where Kimberly instructed."Hey beautiful," A guy with a buzz cut grabbed my hand and I yelped for him to release it but he didn't. He turned me so he could back-hug me, his hands hugging my torso so I wouldn't run away.I don't know if the wolfsbane heightened my hearing and sense of smell, but believe me when I say the smell emanating from the sweaty body of people made me nauseous."Let go of her you prick!" Thank goodness. The m
Jake's POVI wouldn't have been so mad if I didn't see that guy holding her so intimately. The first thing I saw when I walked in was Violet dancing with so random guy.My emotions got the better of me and now I'm thrown across the club while that guy is tending to my mate who just fainted."Get the hell away from her," I seethed, pushing him away so I could lift Violet. I gave him one last deadly glare before stomping out of the club.Thomas followed me together with Kimberly who was shedding non-stop tears.I dropped Violet gently in the backseat when I reached where my car was parked."Call doctor Frank. Tell him to come down to the pack house immediately" I told Timothy who carried out my orders as soon as I instructed."It's all your fault. The next time you want to continue your stupid wayward life, leave Violet out of it!" I spat at Kimberly. It didn't bother me that she sobbed harder.Timothy held my hand to make me stop but I shoved him away and walked around the car to the d
Violet's POV."You did what mum?!" Safina was irate."I had no choice," Hapoda replied solemnly.From what I've gathered and experienced before, I was in my dream. I looked at my surroundings and noted I was inside a house. Everything smelt of wood."My beloved is immobile in some place and you tell me you had no choice. You have a choice mother. You have to go back to the supreme king and accept his offer." Safina yelled."But that would be abandoning my people." Hapoda tried to reason."The queen is wicked anyway. With or without, your people are meant to suffer. Besides, it's only one coven. You can still look over the rest of your people. Only one coven will perish mum" Safina said softly as she held both her mother's hands. "Please,""It's been 300 hundred years," Hapoda said solemnly."And I still can't forget him,""I'll think about it.""Thank you, mum," Safina cleaned her eyes.I was trying to understand what was happening when my surroundings suddenly changed. This place was
Jake's POV"She's okay and would be up soon," Those were the doctor's parting words before he left. He said her immune system was weak and it was hard for her to digest the alcohol that she drank. I blame Kimberly for all of this!I sat on the chair by her bedside, waiting for the moment she would flutter those eyes open. But she didn't. The doctor said she'd be up anytime soon, yet after 3 hours that 'soon' was yet to arrive."Violet," I called out softly when I saw her eyebrows crease. She finally opened her eyes. "Hey," I took her hands in mine but she was quick to slip it out immediately."Where's Kimberly?" I can't believe those were the first words she uttered as soon as she woke."Forget Kimberly," I dismissed, "how are you feeling? Should I call the doctor?" I tried not to leak the worry in my voice. How could she ask of Kimberly first?! What about me, her mate?!"I'm good," She said dryly, "is my mum here?""I didn't tell her so she wouldn't worry but I'm sure my mum has r
Jake's POV"She's in very critical condition,"I nodded my head at the doctor's words. I expected considering the amount of blood she lost. That's right, Felicia is not dead.When I saw her bloodied body on the floor I thought she was dead. But on getting closer, I saw her hands move. Her breathing was very faint, I knew I had to act fast if not the only chance to find Emily will be lost.I would have loved to take her to our pack's doctor but her health was too critical to be left unattended. So, unfortunately, I'm still in Cross wood pack, in front of Alpha Hemp, trying to talk to him like the civilized people we both are pretending to be. Normally, we both want to tear each other apart, but now is not the time for that."So little boy–""It's Alpha Jake to you," I corrected him with a smile I'm sure irked him."You have not yet assumed the alpha position so it's safe to say you are still a boy. Besides, what's an alpha without a pack? You and your pack members are more like rouges
Jake's POV"Are you ready to talk?!" I jeered at Hemp who sat haughtily on his throne with his legs crossed. For someone who has stripped naked a while ago, he was quite thick-skinned."You're the one who needs information from me don't use that tone on me!" He cleared his throat and expertly avoided eye contact knowing fully well that I could snap his neck at any time."Alright. Tell me what you know about Felicia," I said more calmly."It was a vampire.""That I know already," I replied as a matter of fact."Well...I was quite surprised to know that vampires were still in existence. Last I remember, they went extinct 300 years ago during the great war between the three clans.""And?" I asked hurriedly. Hemp cleared his throat at my evident impatience."According to him, his master has scores to settle with you. He brought Felicia to me so I could protect her for a while. Heard she stabbed your mate with Rougebane," He laughed,'He's telling the truth' Zion suddenly said and most of
Violet’s POV“Where are you Kim?” I asked Kimberly on the phone. It’s been two days now and I’ve not seen any sign of her or even…Jake.“I’m busy with something, I’ll come visit when I have the opportunity” she lied. I knew she did. “I know you’re feeling guilty, no need to lie to me. You know what? Just come over so we could talk. I’m bored shitless and you not being here is making things worse for me” I tried convincing to see if she could come around.“What about Jake?” She asked and I went placid over the line. Sensing my uneasiness, she quickly said “give me ten minutes, I’m close by” and she quickly ended the call. I sighed and kept the phone on the desk by the desk side. What will I do without Kimberly? She always comes running whenever I find myself in a fix. Well, I'm always in trouble so technically, Kimberly has always been with me. Meanwhile… I have a mate who doesn’t care. He didn’t come again after I told him to leave yesterday. I waited for him to come throughout the
