Violet's pov
I'm so nervous right now. We've been waiting for Jake for the past thirty minutes now, you could see the impatient look on everyone's face. The nervousness was making my throat itch so I ordered some water. The only thing you could find on our table were the serviettes that was placed there before we arrived. We wanted the waiter to take our orders at once and Jake is the only one delaying.Forty three minutes into the waiting, Jake arrived." I'm sorry I came late, something came up at work" He said as he hurriedly took a seat.I looked at Jake for the second time since he arrived, and I could say he came here with the intention to give a bad impression. He was all sweaty, his hair all ruffled. The first three buttons were undone, creases could be seen all over his suit. He looked like he just came back from a fight." I thought I told you to clear all your schedules for tonight, and looked at the way you dressed for a formal dinner with you future..." "I'm sure he didn't mean to be rude or disrespectful, you know how impromptu things usually comes up at work." My mum said trying to stop Jake's father from flaring up at Jake, even though she was quite shaken from the entrance he made."I'm sure we can order now, I'm starving", I said trying to deviate the attention from Jake's entrance." Yes sweetie, we can" Jake's mum, Mrs Catherine, said before signaling for the waiter to come.Our order came quickly and I appreciated it. Our parents were discussing pack related stuff and I was not in any way interested. I preferred life among humans, as you know by now I don't really get along with pack members." So how has work been Jake?" My mum asked while cutting into her steak. She was trying to start a conversation.Jake was about to answer when a young lady I would say was made of plastic approached our table. From her big breast down to her enlarged buttocks, you could say she went under the knifes countless of times. She wore the heaviest make up I have ever seen, her whole face was caked."Oh my gosh, I didn't think I'll find you here honey " The girl said Seductively towards Jake." Let's go outside and talk " Jake said as he tried dragging her from the table."Oh no, we are talking right here. Are you ashamed to introduce me?" the lady said as she glared daggers at Jake." After using my body, you dispose of me as trash? You promised me marriage Jake. I did countless abortions for you and you want to marry this thing. "she said pointing her hands towards me while tears fell from her eyes.My mum covered her mouth with her hand, astounded at the scene in front of her. If Jake was not disrespecting her by coming late dressed like a thug, then this was the greatest form of disrespect." if not for a friend of mine that spotted you here I would not have believed you would do this to me. How could you do this to me Jake... I did everything for you. I'm sure this whore will not change her body for you the way I did mine and you want to leave me for her... For this wench..." The young lady had already generated a crowd by this time and she tried hurting me when Jake blocked her. He dragged her outside leaving my mum, and his parents completely stupefied.From the moment Jake stood there allowing her to say her trash, I knew it was all a set up. Who knew Jake could pull this kind of stunt, I scoffed at the mere thought of it. He really would go to all length just so we could not wed. But I have to give it to him, she was a really good actress." Let's go Violet " My mum said while dragging me out of the hotel. I guess the marriage is not happening. But knowing how hell bent our parents are in getting us married, I don't think they'll give up, just because of this stunt. Maybe they will, cause I could see steam coming off my mum's head. She was really angry. Jake won or did he?.Jake's POVHere is your payment. You did really great, I said to the prostitute in front of me, as I gave her an envelope.I met her at a bar when she came up to me, trying to entice me into sleeping with her. That is when the idea came to me.And it seems to have worked as I saw Violet mum dragging her out of the hotel.Everything went as planned, I only just need to think of how I'll escape my father's wrath. My head banged at the thought of pacifying the old man.What I would need now is run, through the thick bushes of the forest, but my wolf, Zion, was still not responding to me. I guess he still needs some more days to get over the fact that I rejected the mate bond.Kimberly POVThat really happened, woah, Jake really got some guts, I say to Violet on the phone. She narrated all that happened at the dinner and all I can say was that if this marriage is happening then these two are really fated for each other , cause knowing Violet's mum, her only child can't marry someone with a character like Jake. I feel so guilty but I can't tell Violet that I put her in this predicament. Sure they were still going to marry with or without the mate bond, but me telling their parents they were mates made them more intent on getting them married. If only I kept my mouth shut.I'll call you back I said to Violet after hearing the commotion downstairs." She's mine!, you get that!" I heard Max say to Josh, mum's fiancè. He really got some guts to show his face here after all he had done." Get out of my house max" my mum screamed as she shoved Max but he didn't budge, instead he kept reaching out for Josh.I stood there watching the drama unfold. I wasn't in suppor
"Do you plan on burning down the whole restaurant?" The manager asked as he pointed his finger to the burning dish."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.""I know you didn't, your mind has been all over the place" the manager said as he took over from what I was doing. "You can take a day off if you want, just clear your head before you do something worse."I was grateful for the offer, but I rather work than go back to that tensed filled house."It's alright sir, I'll be more careful next time", I say to the manager who gave me a look before leaving the kitchen for me to handle.I'm working at a famous local shrimp restaurant downtown. I'm trying to learn how to make the jambalaya. I've been eager to learn it after a vacation Kimberly and I took to Louisiana. The stuff got me hooked. As simple as it looks it's quite hard to make a perfect one. I tried learning online recipes but it wasn't giving me the taste I needed, so here I am, stir frying veggies until I'm giving a chance to enter the ma
Author's POV"Master Kendrick" one of the guys said as they turned around to see where the voice came from." Let her go" the cold voice sounded through the quiet alley."But..." The black haired guy proceeded to say."She's not the one we're looking for."" The priestess said she's the one, are you saying she was lying?" The brown haired guy asked suspiciously." She made a mistake." Kendrick said as he walked slowly towards them with his hands behind his back. " Leave her alone and go back before you expose more than you should."" And what makes you think we'll listen to you?" The brown haired guy questioned. He had always hated Kendrick, so if it means killing Violet just so that he won't have to follow Kendrick's orders, then he'll do with it even without Violet being the one they were looking for." Are you challenging me?" Kendrick asked as he tilted his head slightly with a smirk etched on his lips." What if I am?"" Try me. "The black haired guy just stood at the side watch
Violet's POVMy mom is giving me weird looks right now. It's almost as if she's seen a ghost."I should have expected it" I hear my mum say.Expected what? I asked. I'm sure this is related to Kendrick and the witches. My mum looked me up and down as she checked for something on my body."Thank God they didn't hurt you" Now I'm sure this is related to the witches. She sure has a lot of explanations to render to me cause this is all too baffling, and in one night at that.Let's go in and talk mum. By now my mum had regained her normal poise and it seemed like the reaction from her earlier was all fake. But I know it wasn't fake. This is as real as it gets."They've really found me" my mum said as she stared at my body. I followed her line of sight and I saw the black blood that stained my clothes. Who are this "they" mum?"You don't need to know"Mum!I couldn't help the scream that came out when my mum tried to brush this off as nothing.I already know mum,and I suggest you trust m
Violet's POV"I'll tell you what that prophesy is, but before that you have to promise to get married to jake"What kind of request was that?. What does Jake has to do with me knowing my mum's past? Even if I agree, there is no way Jake will agree with this marriage.I looked at my mum and I saw how resolute she was, nothing could change her mind."Mum" I called out, "You know what you're asking for is impossible right? Even if I agree to this marriage, you certainly know that Jake wouldn't, you saw what he did that day, he is hellbent on not marrying me." I tried to make my mum to see reasons why her request was absurd, absolutely absurd."Leave that to me. He'll come to you himself." "But why mum? why Jake?""The weight of what I'm about to tell you is too heavy for your little shoulders to carry. You need someone strong by your side, someone like Jake""But Jake is a mere werewolf mum, there is only so much he can do even if he's the strongest wolf to ever be known"."There is muc
Princess Lucia POV"I can't believe the queen would lock up her own daughter just because she wanted to be the most powerful" I heard one of the guards say."I wonder if things would be different if the priestess hadn't revealed that prophesy" The other one replied.They were different from the former guards who were guarding my cell. They seemed new. It's rare for someone to speak of me with sympathy instead of contempt."Hey" I called out to them."I thought you were sleeping" The first guard said."I just woke up. Could you please let me in on the prophecy?.""We will get killed if anyone knows about it, the queen doesn't even know we are aware of it." The second guard answered, I could see the fear in his eyes."I'm stuck in here remember?, No one will know of it so far I'm in here. I'll die soon if I continue living like this anyway, can't I at least know the reason for all my suffering?" I pleaded with the guards. I could see their eyes wavering a bit, contemplating if telling m
Violet POVWell, guess who is here, it's Jake!!!!!____I looked through the peep hole of the door and I saw Jake standing there, his hands inside his pockets. What the hell is he doing here!!!"What are you doing here?" I said quite saucily as I opened the door."Marry me Violet!"Was that a joke or something?, He just showed up and blatantly asked me to marry him. Is this the Jake I know."You've definitely gone nuts," I said as I turned to shut at the door at his face, but he slipped his hand mid way, stooping me form doing so."I'm serious, marry me!" He said it again. Then something clicked;"My mum came to meet you right?" I asked as I calmed down a little."How did you know?" Jake asked, confusion written all over his face."Come in" I gestured with my hand instead of answering his question."So...what now?" I asked Jake once we've made our selves comfortable on the couch."What do you mean what now, we'll get married as soon as possible" Jake replied curtly. Where was the Jake
Violet's POVWell I was right! Felicia did cause trouble._ _ _ _Today was the day of the wedding. Since we were living with humans, to legalize the wedding their way, we had get to married in a court. We finished the court wedding and we headed to the pack house to legalize the wedding 'werewolf style.'I wore a beautiful white floral short gown with my hair styled with pretty white ribbons. My mum gifted me the diamond accessories I was wearing to match with my outfit.Jake was wearing a black tuxedo with a beautiful diamond brooch attached to it. His tight well ironed trousers fit him perfectly as it clung onto his well toned legs. It was a loosed at the hem though. His hair was slicked back, and he had a stud black earring on his ear. He looked so hot, I hated to admit.We reached the pack house after the court wedding and walked arm-in-arm to make our union seem believable. Kimberly and Thomas were the only people with us as they were our witnesses in the court.We were welcomed
