Violets and Ash Chapter 153
Violet’s P.O.V.After Hael left, I began to thoroughly curse myself for being so stupid.The cause of my anger wasn’t from sleeping with Hael. No, I didn’t regret that in the slightest. If anything, my body was more than eager to do it again…and again.I’d been so wrapped up in his scent, drowning in his touch and the way he made my soul sing, that I hadn’t even realized we didn’t use protection.With my luck, I would end up pregnant my first time having sex.Cole, keen as ever, took one look at us and broke out into a shit-eating grin. Just as he began to raise his cup and cheer, Hael stepped forward with his patented death glare in place. It was a good thing Cole couldn’t see the mark on his best-friend’s neck. If he had, I doubt even a well placed threat would keep him from exploding.“Don’t even think about it.” He warned menacingly, completely oblivious to how my body reacted to his gravely voice.You’d think the soreness in between my legs would calm my libido for the time being

Violet’s P.O.V.Rubbing at my eyes until spots swarmed my vision did nothing to erase the ghost I stared at. That’s what she looked like. A damned ghost. She had on a lacey, white nightgown, the kind you’d see in the movie A Christmas Carol.How did she get here? I thought Cole’s father kept her locked away, caged like some kind of animal. Though, with what Hael told me about her, I couldn’t blame them for keeping her away from the public.I caught flashes of Cole within the madness, trying to urge her off the dance floor she swayed and twirled on. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, I saw the splotches of crimson staining her dress, crawling across the sheer fabric like a pen with a broken tip.She’s covered in blood, but who’s?Arianna spun, twirling as she snatched something off one of the tables. The people sitting in the booth were either sporting looks of concern and fear, or glares meant to kill.If only they knew who they were messing with, I thought warily.Another cra

Violet’s P.O.V.I grabbed the gun off the seat and held it close to my body, my finger on the trigger. For some reason, I didn’t feel as anxious with the gun in my hands. There was this comfort that spread through me, a safety that gave me an added boost of confidence.This wasn’t my first time handling a gun, that’s for sure. With nothing more than the moon lighting my way, I began to creep down the desolate road, praying more than anything that I was not too late.Five minutes of creeping, biting back both curses and whimpers whenever I stepped on something sharp—which was too fucking often—and I finally heard voices.Well, one voice specifically.“I don’t know what you want me to say! I’ve already told you; I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.” Mykelle snarled indignantly.Holding my breath, I stepped off the road and into the forest, darting from tree to tree. Somehow, I knew that the darkness was my friend in this situation, and that it was better to seek solace in i

Hael’s P.O.V.The moment I stepped into my father’s office; I knew something was wrong.If it wasn’t from the cigar smoke hovering in the air, twisting and curling to form an army of demonic faces, then it was from the darkness plaguing Macon and my father’s eyes.My father only ever smoked cigars when he was on the verge of murdering someone, and not since the early days of my training had Macon stood in on one of our meetings. Now more than ever I needed complete control over myself.The office I stood in was located in the heart of town, and was only ever used for business purposes. Should another Alpha come to visit this was where they would meet.The blinds along the wall of windows were pulled open, unleashing a perfect view of the town in the dead of the night. Stars speckled the sky and a harrowing silence drifted down each and every desolate street.“What happened?” I asked, forgoing any formalities. My father knew my tells just as I knew his.His suit jacket lay draped acros

Hael’s P.O.V.It must’ve been something bad because her shoulders instantly relaxed under my hands. Her serene expression chiseled away at my anger despite how desperately I tried to hold onto it.She felt safe with me. Not only that, but she’d truly forgiven me for trying to end her life. I couldn’t wrap my head around it. Couldn’t understand how someone could have that much compassion and understanding.Her lips were still puffy from when I’d licked, sucked, and nibbled every inch of them. With guilt tugging her pretty face into a grimace, she rolled her lower lip in between her teeth.“I was with Cole when Arianna showed up at the party. It was too packed for me to make it through the crowd, so I promised him I’d stay out in the hallway. There was a window right next to me, and I just so happened to turn and look out of it. I saw Mykelle, and uh—” As she trailed off, I noticed an odd exchange happen between her and Cole.He looked a bit surprised, his eyebrows raised just a fractio
Violets and Ash Chapter 158
Violet’s P.O.V.What a way to kick off the weekend, I thought.After the party turned rescue mission, I was ready to hole up in Hael’s room for the next several days. Too bad, I couldn’t. Even if it weren’t for the Find-a-Mate event, Elijah’s ever constant presence at the house would’ve quickly ruined things.Funny how I wanted Hael to stop hiding our relationship when I wasn’t even remotely ready to explain things to Elijah. I could already see the conversation playing out in my head.Yeah, so what happened was, I sort of caught feelings for Sylvia’s son. I didn’t think it was possible considering he tried to kill me once or twice, but that’s not important. Even worse, I’m pretty sure I’m falling in lo—“Earth to Violet. Can you hear me in there?” Olive waved her hand in front of my face, her black-tipped nails sharpened into points.I blinked, clinging to Olive’s voice in an effort to chase away the awkwardness that came with mine and Elijah’s imaginary conversation.Delaney stood s
Violets and Ash Chapter 159
Violet’s P.O.V.I was jostled, forced against Olive’s side as three she-wolves rushed forward. They pressed against the velvet rope, their squabbling growing louder when one of the security guards approached and forced them back.Delaney narrowed her eyes at the three, stepping around Olive and I so that they could see the fury contorting her pretty face.“Do that again and I’ll tear those cheap extensions out.”The three paled beneath their spray tans before pressing against another group in an effort to get close to whichever Original family was finally arriving.An explosion of flashes permeated the night, followed by a barrage of questions that had my head swimming. Through the bodyguards that lined the velvet rope every five or so feet, I could make out a blacked-out SUV. It’s doors had just swung open when everyone started going insane, leading me to believe one of the Original families had finally arrived.“Thanks for sticking with me tonight.” Olive said, tightening her grip o
Violets and Ash Chapter 160
Violet’s P.O.V.The two slithered away, the crowd parting for them as though they too sensed the serpents hiding beneath the shimmery, golden dresses.Olive picked her jaw off the floor and snarled, “…that shallow, two-faced bitch! Just when I thought she had something redeemable inside of her, she goes and does that. She might be pretty, but she’s got a withered husk for a soul, and don’t even get me started on her mother. That woman…”“Yeah, I know.”“Hey, you’re not trash. You know that, right? Don’t tell me she got into your head, because I’ll spend the rest of the night charming your pants off to prove to you how wrong she is.”I fought a smile and felt my lips twitch. “There’s one problem with that plan of yours. I’m not wearing any pants.”“Well, that just makes it easier then.” She said, waggling her eyebrows.“Let’s get back to Delaney, you flirt.” I teased, poking her with my elbow. “I don’t care what they think. I won’t let those two ruin my night.”“That’s the spirit Ice P
