I didn’t mean to snap at her, but she was frustrating me. I know I can’t leave her having not eaten any dinner, so I go and grab some pizzas and then headed back to her room, hoping she was able to find her way back there herself earlier.I doubt I am someone she is wanting to see right about now, but I want to apologise and I want to make sure she eats. Plus, we need to talk a little at least. We need to get back onto an even footing. I won’t settle tonight knowing she is hating me. My wolf will not settle knowing his mate is angry at us. Even if she doesn’t even know we are her mate just yet. I know it and I can’t leave it.I tread heavily up the stairway toward her room. My stomach is churning with nerves. It is crazy that one girl, one she-wolf can make me feel like this without even realising she is doing it. I knock lightly at the door and stand and wait. The door is pulled back, Violet stands barely moving, her eyes glaring at me. Her eyes are beautiful, but I swear, if looks c
I cant even be angry at the guy after he has come back and brought me pizza. Especially when I guess I was maybe a bit of a bitch. The pizza was good too. Hearing the stuff he had to tell me about my Dad hurt, I cant lie, but I guess I am going to hear a lot of things I don’t really want to hear in the coming weeks. That is the whole point of me being here, right? All feels so surreal.Seems my Dad was not quite so innocent after all. Or that is assuming the information this guy is giving me is accurate. Though why he has reason to lie I don’t know. So it makes me think the information he tells me is true. Perhaps the information Aunt Della told me was her trying to be nice, trying to make my Dad sound like a good guy. Not wanting to ruin the memory I had of my Dad. This guy has no real reason to lie to me. Aunt Della did, I guess, but in a kind way. Trying to consider my feelings. Trying to keep my Dad a good guy in my mind and heart. Though it likely wasn't going to be for the best
I quickly left Violet’s room. I had to get away! Being that close to her had got awkward and quickly. It was easy to chat to her as we had been eating, just free chatting, laughing and joking. Then, as she was being sarcastic and I joked around, I don’t know what made me touch her. I poked her, teasing. Knowing the instant I did it, I shouldn’t have. She made eye contact and then I was lost. Completely gone. This mate bond is fucking crazy. Powerful stuff.I had been battling though to keep my wolf back, he seems to like being around her. Which I guess knowing it is his mate is only natural. But she has no idea. It is beyond frustrating. Not just with the fact she doesn’t know we are her mate, but the fact she has very little idea about mates full stop. And she seems to have very little interest in them either.I have to say I am a little worried. My fated mate is perfect, beautiful, that there is no doubt of. But it seems I have been fated with a mate that is not that keen on the ide
I am woken by a knock at my door. I groggily get up from my bed and walk over to open the door, to be greeted by Beta Tate standing there, a smile on his face. How can he be happy in a morning?! That is not normal.“Good Morning sunshine” he grins. “Thought I would come and wake you. Lessons start in an hour. Wondering if you were wanting some breakfast? If so, I can show you where the dining room is in the packhouse where meals are served.”I feel really conscious of the fact I am literally standing here in a pair of tiny shorts and a tank top, with my hair all over the place, looking like I have been dragged through a hedge backwards. I smiled awkwardly.“You could have called or texted?” I say.“Don’t have your number doll” he smiles. “anyone would think you don’t want to see me” He grabs his chest like I had mortally wounded him.I couldn’t help but laugh. “Well I am here in my PJs with no make up on, looking like a scarecrow.” I say touching my messed up hair. “So don’t really ap
I decided it was a safer option to wait for Violet outside of her room, then if she was ready sooner than I came back she wouldn’t have to wait for me or come looking for me. Good job I did too, as it really did not take her that long to get herself ready, I said half an hour, yet I think she was back outside her room in about fifteen minutes.She looked pretty cute too. Hair all washed, I would assume, as it looked damp, which likely wasn’t a good idea when it was cold out. But it made her hair look wavy. Her scent was even stronger now. Fuck it. That was making it so much harder for me and for Odyn to avoid taking in the smell of her. She smelled so good. This is going to be fucking difficult. I saw her looking at me puzzled.I quickly smile, “That was quick your highness” I teased. I can’t help but call her that after her being funny earlier.She rolls her eyes at me. “Will you quit it with that?” she asks, she genuinely sounds like she wasn’t happy.“Sorry” I shrug. “Me trying to
The breakfast was sweet of him, going out of his way to cook for me, so I didn’t need to face up to a dining room full of strangers when he realised I was feeling fed up. Makes it almost forgivable he was checking out my butt. Almost…He seems to be being really kind to me, but I am sure he is just trying to be nice because he has to be, yet when I suggest that he gets all defensive, so I am just going to leave it. I can’t be bothered, I need to be doing what I need to do, learn what I need to learn and hopefully they will let me leave.After I wash up the pots, pans and plates from breakfast, I see Tate watching me from the breakfast bar. I swear if he is checking out my butt again I am going to kick his ass…“You ready to go see Alpha?” he asks.Oh shit, I forgot about that. He mentioned it earlier, but didn’t really elaborate. I wonder if I am in trouble?“If I have to” I nod.“Well, you need to pledge to the Alpha and pack hunni, kind of a formality when joining a werewolf pack” h
What? I can’t leave? He seriously just said I can't leave.I feel fear rip through my body. Had they waited until I had pledged to the pack and him before telling me that? I thought I was coming here to learn about my heritage. Surely what happens then is my choice, is it not? I was trembling, I don’t know if it was anger or fear. My plan had been to learn and then leave. Had pledging to them taken away any choice I had?“Why?” I ask “I have no reason to stay once I learn what I need to, surely? My parents asked me to learn that was all.”The Alpha growls slightly. Shit, was that his wolf coming to the surface? I feel myself tremble even more, stumbling backward, wanting to get to the door. This is one big mistake. If he is growling, is he going to turn into his wolf and attack me? Have I angered him that much? But they can't keep me here against my will, can they?“Violet, you are safe here.” Tate tells me.Safe? Fucking safe when right now I have a big fucking bastard werewolf bloke
I walked out of Lachlan’s office, glad to get out of the tension in there. He was in a foul mood today, and Violet being so unsure of everything seemed to piss him off even more. Though at the same time she seemed to have no filter, which I have to say was kinda amusing. But you would think Lachaln would try to be a little more patient with her considering everything she has been through and everything she has suddenly found out, it has to be a hell of a mind fuck to find that out as an almost-adult and then being expected not only to accept it but also to have your life completely changed overnight.As we walked out of the room, I quickly removed my arm from around Violet’s shoulder, not able to deal with the tingling sensation of the mate bond and not react to it. Not to mention, I don’t want her beginning to question why each time we touch there is a weird sensation. So far I have tried to dismiss it as static shock, but surely pretty soon she is going to start questioning why this
