Chapter 17: Violets p.o.v ....16
He waited for a while not saying anything allowing hme to became a little more relaxed because hmy heart was pounding ten to the dozen, i couldn’t take it any more i broke the silence first
“why are you still here?” there was no malice there, just panic
“you’re my mate” he spoke slow and softly like you i was a child, you know the one who is about to receive bad news and you are not entirely sure how they are going to be able to deal with said information
“I’ve told you that’s not possible i have no wolf, you need to go to your goddess and ask for a refund” just pure fact
“i hate to break it to you Violet but i will not be going to the goddess and asking her for a refund at all, i have waited too long for you to come into my life” he was watching my reaction, both of us watching the other like prey...maybe that’s not the right analogy but you get the drift, he was gauging whether i understood him. I was not a complete baboon
“why would you want a human mate you are a Alpha one know for being ruthless, doesn’t having me by your side make you weak?” i was curious he was pleased and i couldn’t fathom out why....i
“why would it?” he challenged
“great a question with a question, just leave” i quipped i wasn’t going to bite
“i don’t think you’re weak” i looked at him sceptically
“i watched you handle that guy in the club, there was nothing weak about you there” i didn’t say anything, we were back to silence i could see he was reading the situation between us, i felt like i was missing something important but i was too damn stubborn to ask the question needed
“but i have no wolf” i said it quietly nothing more than a whisper
“you have a wolf, i can smell her she was faint at the club, but she’s a lot stronger today, my guess is she is already trying to reach out to you” i have to say i was a little shocked that he didn’t seem to be hiding anything me, he was treating me like i was precious, but also respected. He wasn’t aware of me hearing my wolf even though i did my best to hide it from him, i don’t know why i was trying to hide that fact, yes for the record i know it was stupid.
“she is talking to you then” he said childish i know but i made him wait
“only today, it’s a little disconcerting hearing someone talking to you, makes you think you’re going to the fruit farm” i said with a faint smile.
“i guess it would be as you’re not born into a pack and this is talked about freely, so their is no rejection of your wolf” he answered
“that happens, why would someone reject something so beautiful” i was confused
“like in everything their are some born broken, different,Violet i am not like other Alpha’s as you said you know me a ruthless, not everything is true what you hear or read, i help my pack and i would die protecting my pack” he needed me to know this, like it was an major part of the puzzle we were building together
“what does that mean? Or what are you trying to tell me” i asked a tad suspicious
“it means i will never throw out a broken person if i feel i can help them, only of it may cause damaged to my pack, i am not one of the autocratic Alpha’s, i take my packs views and dispute seriously, i have provided new housing and building for our economy” he was proud of what his pack had become, i wasn’t a wolf and even i knew he was one of the most wealthy packs in Britain.
“i know your are firstly a businessman” i said but he stopped me like that wasn’t it, he had a need to correct me
“no i am a wolf first Violet” i looked at him eyes filled with worry, something i soon realised he didn’t like seeing there at all
“darling, i know you didn’t want me to know your past, and i wish i could have given you that luxury, but i could not because you are more precious to me than life itself and i need to be able to protect you” he said softly
“it was mine to share” i knew sounded like a petulant child in that moment but i was hurt not just by him but by Laura too.
“if i had waited would you have shared it with me?” he watched me thinking about how to respond to me, he could see it so clearly the answer i was going to give him... was still no i decided not to be a total wanker and lie about it, and to be fair what would the point be i didn’t gain anything by it “no” straight to the point.
“how could i protect you if i didn’t know what was coming for us” he asked me trying to get me to understand some rationality if the situation we now found ourselves in, i was sometimes my own worst enemy i know that but this was early on and i wasn’t going to give in to this man with out some sort of fight, struggle whatever you want to call it.
“i can look after myself” i knew the moment he was not going to indulge me, it seemed there was a time and place for that “no darling i don’t think you can truly handle what this person can bring to you, i think you were using yourself as bait knowing he would kill you so that Laura was safe” he watched my reaction to his words like a hawk, i tried really hard to shroud my face so’s not to reveal anything but it seemed like i hadn’t succeeded
“darling that isn’t going to happen, you can fight what will happen between us all you want, but the outcome will be the same, you are mine and i am yours” i didn’t speak because the voice floated through my head again ‘he is right Violet our bond is a strong bond the moon goddess chose him for us for a reason’ that didn’t help me one bit, i could see he knew i when the wolf spoke to me his demeanor changed i watched him scent the air and fidget slightly it was the first time i saw him struggle slightly.
He heard my stomach grumble reminding me we hadn’t eaten because of the commotion earlier but now seemed as good a time as any
“lets eat sweetheart” he stood and held out a hand waiting to see if i took it, i smiled it reminded me of the night at the club when we first met. It was nice to see his surprised. He pulled me from the chair, i felt the warmth of his touch immediately swirling around my body.
