Violet POV “Are you fucking mad?” Emily shouted. “Who do you think I am? Wait, let me pay you with cash!” She opened her purse and saw that she had only a thousand dollars. She closed her eyes and tipped her head towards the ceiling. Grinding her teeth, she said, “I will buy it later.” Saying that she stomped out of the boutique, her skin flushed in anger.I lowered my head and clenched my teeth to stop myself from laughing. “Can you please get the bill for this one?” I said, going to the counter. From the corner of my eye, I saw that the girl holding Emily’s dresses, harrumphed, glaring at her and receded back. Emily, meanwhile, was making a call to Alpha Dane."Honey, they blocked my cards," she complained in a very soft, dulcet voice. “Has something gone wrong?” she complained in a very soft, dulcet voice. She waited for a moment. “But honey, that isn’t right, I’m—” She jerked her head back in surprise. “Ah ha. I see.” She glanced at me. “I know things are not so good, but I am wi

Violet POV Ilene. That was Alpha Dane’s mother. My entire body shuddered as memories of her flashed across my mind. She had come to the lodge where Alpha Dane had put me up, threatening me she would get me killed if he didn’t leave me. I wrapped my hands around my body, trying to suppress it. Alpha Dane narrowed his eyes at her before he took the phone from her. “Hello,” he said in a snappy voice. I don’t know what conversation went on between them because Alpha Dane only said “Yes,” at the end. After that, he disconnected the call and gave it back to Emily. “Well, what do you have to say about it?” Emily said, tapping her heeled foot on the floor. He cocked his head and said, “Leave us, Emily. Try to hide yourself because if I see you again, I will let my wolf take care of you.” Emily’s jaw dropped to the floor. “B—but Alpha Dane—” She glanced at me with wide eyes. “Your mother won’t like the way you are avoiding me.” “I will deal with my mother, so get lost!” he growled in a

Violet POVMy momentary shocked stillness snapped when I watched him go inside the house. “What?” I wailed.He didn’t reply to me as he watched Mimzy coming out of Dave’s room. Mimzy appeared shocked, but she suppressed it instantly and gave a smile to Alpha Dane. “Hey Mimzy, how was your day?” he said to her charmingly. She blushed to the roots. And Mimzy had never blushed. Not at least in my presence.Tucking a strand of her curly dark hair, she said, “I am well, Mr. Llyod.” She gave me a knowing glance and winked. “Dave is sleeping. See you tomorrow.” She collected her purse and keys from the long table at the entrance and left, closing the door behind her.“What are you doing here?” I hissed at Dane, clenching my fists.He turned his head over his shoulder. “Going to sleep.” He walked to my room, and I followed him in a very shitty mood, ready to shout at him, but I snapped my mouth shut when I saw him pulling his coat and shirt out and tossing it on the ground. He was going to sl

Violet POV Jayden smiled as Alpha Dane’s face darkened. Before Jayden could even return the greeting to me, Alpha Dane was there beside me with his hand at the small of my back. Jayden clenched his teeth. Jayden gave a tight nod to Dane and said, “I had to come. Dave was pretty enthusiastic about the play.” I pursed my lips in a tight smile because Dave was actually not interested and never gave those vibes. “Besides, you invited me. How could I deny you?” he added, peeking at Dane. Dane took my free hand in his and kissed it. “Did I say you look beautiful?” A blush crept in my cheeks. Did he just ignore the whole conversation between Jayden and me and declare his claim on me? When I shot him a glare, he just smirked at me. “What? You look beautiful, baby,” he shrugged. Then he nuzzled me inside the auditorium where the other parents were waiting. Jayden followed us, and I didn’t miss the scowl on his face. Even though Dane had bought his company at an obscene price, the two had a

Violet POV Though I should've been shocked to see Jayden, I wasn't surprised. He was sitting in the living room alone. Mimzy gave me an awkward glance. I nodded at her and she went to Dave’s room. It wasn’t a surprise that Dave wasn’t with Jayden. That pup just didn’t like him.He got up the moment he saw me. “How are you, Violet?” he said with hope in his eyes. But I knew better. He wanted to discuss what happened at Dave’s school.“I am well, Jayden,” I sighed as I tossed my purse to a sofa nearby and removed heels from my aching legs.“You already know why I am here.” He shifted on his feet as if uncomfortable.“If this is about what happened at Dave’s school, then before you say anything, Dane is not under my control. He is a man of his own.”“Why don’t you understand that Dane Llyod is toxic as hell?” Jayden said with urgency in his voice. "Don't you think it's a coincidence that he came to Dave's school even though he wasn't invited?" Jayden asked, emphasizing his point.I shoo
