The Alpha's Bride

Chapter 1055  Alpha Violet (12)

While Yasmin came to set up barriers with the help of her younger kids and a few other witches, many pack members gathered.

The structure of the pack changed significantly since Alpha Natalia took over.

The Midnight Guardians pack had about five hundred pack members, most of them unmated. Over the years, that number swelled to more than double, with people finding mates and pups being born. They also had a branch of the Silver Flame Coven there, with more than a few dozen witches considering the Midnight Guardians pack as their home. It was lively.

Talia was popular and people admired her. In the same way, Violet brought joy and hope to the pack by just being there.

Everyone was eager to see the young Alpha Violet. She would visit the Midnight Guardians pack with Alpha Natalia, but not often enough. With the time difference between realms, even if Violet came once per week, it would be months for the members of the Midnight Guardians pack. It's not like they couldn't visit her through the portal that opened directly to the Dark Howlers pack, but this was on their home territory, and it carried a different flavor to it.

On top of that, everyone wanted to see a fight among Alphas, and the word spread that Alpha Violet had found her mate! Who wouldn't be curious to see their future Alpha (aka Ashton)?

In the blink of an eye, several stands were selling snacks and beverages, and one was taking bets. It turned into a spectacle.

The crowd was simmering with excitement, and they were wondering when young Alpha Violet and her mate would appear.

Somewhere in the territory of the Midnight Guardians pack…

"What do you think?" Violet asked Ashton while gesturing below them. They were on a high rock from where they could see a crystal-clear lake and a small sandy beach nestled among rocks and trees.

Talia told Violet a story about how Damon made that beach himself. When Talia and Damon found the place accidentally, many moons ago, overgrown bushes and other plants blocked the access to the lake. When Damon saw how much Talia loved it, he cleared up the area and brought the sand. The place was difficult to find because natural arrays would make people walk back to where they started, so it provided privacy.

"Gorgeous," Ashton said, and Violet turned to see him look at her.

"Are you talking about me or about this place?" She called him out.

Ashton's lips curved into a smile. "Do you need to ask?" Of course, he was talking about her!

"We might have time for a quick dip," Violet said with a smirk and jumped off the rock to run toward the beach.

Ashton clicked his tongue. He wanted to take a dip alright, but he was not thinking about the lake.

With a whoosh, Ashton found himself next to Violet, and she exclaimed in surprise when his arms wrapped around her waist and he pulled her down to the sand.

His lips descended on hers with urgency, shattering all her defenses and reasoning as her arms snaked around his neck.

in his eyes. "I will always have time for you, Vi."

She wanted to remind him about the fight and the audience "Ash… Ash," she called between kisses. "We don't have… time for… this."

His hands under her blouse paused, and he looked at her with fire in his eyes. "I will always have time for you, Vi."

She wanted to remind him about the fight and the audience waiting, but his lips latched to his mark on her neck, and the only thing she could do was moan as her body turned soft and needy.

Newly mated couples were vulnerable and overprotective, and they felt at ease only when their bodies were entangled, connected as one, just like their souls.

For Ashton, keeping his hands (and cock) away from Violet was torturous. He thought that one month of solitude might be enough to satisfy him, but now he realized he was wrong. His hunger for Violet was intense, just as it was on the first day, and it didn't show any signs of easing up.

Ashton didn't care about the silly challenge from Valeria and Edgar. It was childish and ridiculous, and it's not like Violet would give up her Alpha position or her mate based on the outcome of the fight. Instead, he was thinking of returning to the cave for another few months, but he decided to ask her about that later.

He was careful not to rip her clothes as he removed them with haste, and he groaned when he felt her hot flesh squeezing his cock.

"Goddess, Vi! I can't get enough of you," he said like a prayer and a curse.

He looked down to meet Violet's unfocused eyes.

She reached to dig her fingers into his firm ass.

"Finish what you started, Ash," she said in a low growl.

Ashton's smile was reflected in his eyes. He was truly happy.

Over the last month, they had sex numerous times, yet every time it was better than the previous one, and every time her beauty blinded him. That was Violet, his mate. She was everything he ever imagined and so much more. She was perfect.

With a deep growl of approval, Ashton started rocking into her, enjoying every sigh and moan that escaped her lips.

…

At the training area…

Valeria and Edgar stood in the middle of the square marked with white chalk. The sounds from the crowd were muffled due to the protective shields Yasmin set up, but the excitement was tangible.

Valeria glanced at the sun.

"Do you think they chickened out and left?" Valeria asked.

Edgar snorted. "Vi? She was never the one to run away from the fight. But I wouldn't dismiss the possibility of them forgetting about us."

Valeria rolled her eyes. "You could at least pretend to support me."

"I would never support a person who gets between mates."

"That's not what I did."

"Tell that to someone who will buy it. We both know what you did and why you did it. You can't hide things from me."

"Then you know…"

Edgar made a face. "The only thing I DON'T know is what's with the hostility whenever you see Violet? How is it possible that after all this time, you are unable to accept reality?"

"Easy for you to say. You were always second." Her face fell when she realized what she said. "Sorry. I didn't…"

"You didn't mean it? I think you did. Did you say I was always second? So were you. The only difference between us is that I learned to accept my place."

Valeria pursed her lips. "What are you expecting me to do?"

"Me? Nothing. But I hope you will learn to accept that Alpha Natalia is the rightful Alpha of the Midnight Guardians pack. Father saw that a long time ago, and he did the right thing by stepping down. Even if Violet is five years old, she would still be the next Alpha; as for us, if we are lucky, she will appoint us to be her proxies or her betas. However, if you continue with that attitude, we will be lucky if we get to guard the dungeon."
