Violets and Ash Chapter 143
Hael’s P.O.V. We were heading back from the warehouse when Violet called. Son of a… I almost hadn’t answered considering the name that popped onto the screen was Olive’s, but intuition had me hitting the little green button instead of the red. It whispered in a knowing voice that Violet had likely gotten herself into trouble again. Sure enough, I’d been right. The two of them followed the ambulance carrying Erik Chen to the hospital, where we’d all meet up in just half an hour. I had a death grip on the steering wheel the entire drive, focusing on the road to divert my attention from how thoroughly pissed off I was. Violet, my disobedient little mate, couldn’t keep herself out of harms way. Part of me understood her inability to fully accept the situation, which was a feat in and of itself because I was not the understanding type. Without the memories of her past, she grew up in a nice little bubble nestled in the mountains. Bullying had been the worst of what she’d dealt with.

Hael’s P.O.V.An ocean of dark promises churned in my eyes, acting as the perfect warning before I approached. She backed away; a frightened doe caught in the headlights of a predator. Only, it wasn’t her blood I wanted.“I’m going to punish you, Violet. Lets see if you can stop me.” I purred, my cock twitching from anticipation alone.I lunged just as her back hit the wall, snaring her wrists as she writhed and thrashed against me. She made an attempt to kick me, but all it did was allow me in between her legs and—fuck, it was like she wanted to be punished.Her barely covered pussy was flush against my cock, and all her squirming did was grind it against my length.Unable to take any more, I threw her over my shoulder. She plastered my back with punches, but they lacked the power necessary to garner a reaction. If anything, her little snarls and sounds of outrage only served to make me harder.I plopped down on the bed, forcing her over my lap. When she tried to crawl away, I grabbe

Hael’s P.O.V.Leaving Violet in my bedroom, I headed back to hers. Sliding into her bed, under her frilly pink comforter, without her, was a bit odd. It was necessary, though.I huddled under the covers, my ears peeled, and senses stretched as far as they could reach, for what could’ve easily been hours.When the window beside Violet’s closet opened, I was more than aware of it.A light breeze carried the scent of the intruder into the room. It was a familiar mixture of blood, sweat, and stale cigarettes. With my breathing slow and calculated, I continued to wait.Their footsteps were so quiet that I instantly knew whoever this was, was no stranger to breaking in unnoticed. Even their breathing was dampened, almost undetectable.This fucker was good, but I was better. The intruder’s presence loomed over the comforter, and I waited with calming breaths for the moment my gut told me to act. One second turned into two, and on the third, I was hit with a wave of fury that had me springin

Violet’s P.O.V.Hael had been serious about training me, a fact I’d only begun to regret when the asshole woke me up at four o’clock Friday morning.I’d stumbled bleary eyed, my hair a tangled mess on my head, into the gym in the basement of the estate.I didn’t even know this place had a basement.To make matters worse, he’d given me the news of what happened to Killer after spending another night with Cole. Luckily, I hadn’t yet eaten breakfast, so I wasn’t at risk of throwing anything up.Killer was dead, succumbing to the torture Cole had put him through. He hadn’t given us any more information, which Hael seemed to believe meant one thing. Whoever this Nic was, he terrified Killer enough to make him endure hours of agonizing torture.That wasn’t at all a good sign.Even now, I had to push the thought of what Cole did to the guy far from my mind. I might be slowly on my way to recovering my memories and the badass fighting skills I now had a slight grasp on, but I wasn’t sure I’d

Violet’s P.O.V.“….aaaaand done!” Delaney exclaimed, stepping back from the stool I sat on.Her hands were clasped behind her back and a grin with the intensity of a child opening presents on Christmas morning lit her face. I looked to Olive, who was reclining on the chaise lounge in her bedroom. She had her arms propped behind her head, the obsidian bikini top she wore on display.The spider web design was overlaid by a shimmery material that made her chest sparkle any time she moved. I didn’t at all miss the appreciative look Delaney had given her when she stepped out of the bathroom. When paired with her colored hair and dark eye make-up, it gave her an extra dose of intimidation that even her petite frame couldn’t ruin.Olive took one look at me, or rather, my chest, and sighed loudly.“I love women.”Delaney burst into a fit of musical laughter. “No, you love breasts.”Olive’s eyes slid from Delaney’s face to the pink bikini top that cradled her chest like it had been made for he

Violet’s P.O.V.Focusing on the glorious buzz that dulled my senses, I undressed and followed Olive into the water. It was warm as it licked my skin, soaking into the ends of my hair that hung down my back.Eyes pelted my skin, but the only ones I paid any attention to were the ones that elicited a chill down my spine.Hael was watching, I was sure of it. Oddly enough, it made it easier to relax and have fun. I knew that if anyone were to approach me, either he or Cole would step in.The center of the lake, where the floating obstacle course began, actually wasn’t that deep. I was able to keep my head above the water by bouncing on my toes. We swam over to the trampoline just in time to see a familiar face go flying off the side.Holden appeared just a few feet from where he landed, a grin on his tanned face that showed every one of his straight, white teeth.“You guys came!” He beamed, swimming over to us. His broad shoulders stuck out from the water, packed with muscle that came fro

Violet’s P.O.V.That voice—that dark voice, promising pain and blood, melted the very ice that kept me prisoner, filling me with such visceral relief that my shoulders slumped.I gasped, not realizing I’d been holding my breath this entire time. My chest burned with each inhale, but my greedy lungs had been deprived long enough. Holden didn’t notice, though. He didn’t notice how I stumbled away from him, desperate to put some distance between us, or how my hands shook.He lowered his hand from my face, his eyes narrowed into small slits. “Perfect timing as always, Ashford, butting in on a private conversation. You sure know how to kill the fucking mood.”What the hell has gotten into him? I’ve never seen him act like this before.A blur of midnight hair and pale skin clouded my vision. I blinked, my eyes opening just in time to witness Hael’s fist colliding with Holden’s face. Holden staggered, and Hael swung out with his leg, bringing the football player to the ground.He began to ra
Violets and Ash Chapter 150
Violet’s P.O.V.For a split second, there was silence—pure, unending silence. It lingered between each tree, through the grass that tickled my ankles and clung to my wet skin. It even swallowed my ragged, pained breaths.Then, the pain came.It was quick, so quick that I hadn’t seen it coming. A body, hard with thick layers of muscle, plowed into me from behind. My feet skidded across the ground before coming up, my torso twisting as a set of arms snared my waist.I waited for the ground to come up and grab me, to crush what little air I had left from my lungs, but that never happened. Instead, I landed on that hard, muscular body. It had turned at the last second, taking the impact.He kept me from hitting the ground.That small speck of kindness meant nothing, though. Before it could fill me with any sort of hope, Hael flipped us over.I couldn’t breathe. Even though my lungs were free to suck in as much oxygen as they needed, they didn’t dare move. Goddess, what had I turned this m
