Asher POV
Once I have her alone in the office it takes all my self-control to not have her right now. What is your name mate? "My name is Violet Carrisa Baster, vampire princess." So, you don't deny you are my mate? "In my world you would be called my beloved and yes I do not deny it," "If you wish to reject me just get it over with." I can feel the anger in my body and my face at her words. I have waited years for her and she thinks I could dismiss her so easily. I come to stand in front of her looking in to the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes. I lift my hand to brush her hair back and notice a faded mark on her marking spot. You've been marked I growl as I touch it. It definitely looks faded but there is no mistaking what it is. For the first time she drops her gaze and then once again looks me in the eyes. "It is a long story and I am well aware how wolves want their mates pure." "I am not pure anymore." I feel like I could shift and tear this f**king place apart knowing that another man has had her. I take a few deep breaths and push Titan down before I speak again. I want to hear the story. She seems shocked by my requests but begins.
Violet POV
I tell him about my father and that he made me take a chosen mate that could take over as King when he is ready to step down. I tell him about what happened before I left my home and I can see his eyes turn black which I assume means his wolf is at the surface. I finish with how I ended up here and I wait for his response. "Are you still bonded to the f**ker?" I rejected him before I left but he did not accept the rejection. That is why the mark is faded. I am sorry that I didn't fight my father harder when he insisted, I take a chosen mate. I know you are King and probably expected your mate to be a wolf. I am fully prepared for your rejection I stand staring into his blue eyes. I watch him smell deeply taking in my scent. I can't help but ask what do I smell like to you? "The most intoxicating peaches and cream." I chuckle I didn't think something so simple could be described that way. "How did you know I was your beloved I know your kind doesn't use smell." It's your eyes that tell us, when I looked into your eyes our bond begins. I really need to get back to work it is my first night and the more time I spend with you the more this will hurt me when it's done. I turn to head for the door and he grabs my arm.
Asher POV
Make no mistake Violet Carrissa Baster I will not be letting you go and as for working here that is finished also. She puts her hands on her hips and it's the cutest things I have ever seen. I can't help but to chuckle and I can see I pissed her off. She rips her arm from my grasp with strength I wasn't expecting, drops my coat to the floor, and heads toward the bar. What the actual f**k? She is swaying her hips and every a**hole out there is staring at what belongs to me. Right before I reach her a wolf grabs her around the waist and I again growl losing my s**t. I stomp my way toward her pulling her out of his grip and punching him in the face. I pick her up throwing her over my shoulder. "Put me the f**k down or I will make you." Violet I am taking you out of here right now so we can finish our discussion. "When I am done working, I will talk to you now put me down." I am your boss and I said you're done. She wiggles out of my grasp and lower her to her feet. Please come with me before I kill every male in this club. "Fine let's get this over with but I need to let Tammy know." I already linked her and she is freaking out. "You told her are you crazy?" I take her to the uber I called for and we get into the back. Why wouldn't I tell my sister I found my mate? She is silent and when we reach the palace, I help her out which she begrudgingly accepts. I walk her inside to my office. I would like to take her to my bedroom but we need to hash everything out first. Once inside I ask her to have a seat. She sits and I make my intentions perfectly clear. I don't care who or what she is, she was made for me by the Moon Goddess and that is all that matters to me. Violet Carrisa Baster I accept you as my mate, Luna, and Queen. It's comical to watch her jaw fall open. I stand coming around the desk and place my fingers under her chin.
Violet POV
When my brain finally starts working again, I can't believe what I just heard. You can't mean that I am not pure or a wolf. Your people are never going to accept me as your mate or Queen. I can see anger flash over his face and then love. "You are my decision no one else's and I choose you." "No, I am not happy that ba**ard touched you or marked you but I understand the position you were put in." So, you can love me knowing all that? He smiles and my heart melts a little. Could he really get past all this and love a vampire? He takes my hand to help me stand in front of him. "Violet, do you accept me King Asher James Knight as your mate, alpha, and King?" Can I really trust him after all that I have been through? I look into the bluest eyes and see nothing but sincerity. I hope I don't regret this, I Violet Carrissa Baster accept you King Asher James Knight as my beloved, mate, alpha, and King. The moment the words leave my lips I can feel the bond. It isn't complete but it is starting. I turn to a mirror in the room and I see that Troy's mark is even more faded. Asher comes to stand behind me wrapping his arms around my waist. He puts his fingers where the mark is fading. "My mark will be here and you won't ever have to think of that piece of sh*t again." I smile how does it work? Do you just mark over it or do we have to wait till it's gone? "Like hell we are going to wait, I will inquire from the pack doctor if it's safe for me to mark over it?" I turn in his arms and for the first time in a while I feel truly happy.
Troy POV
I return to the castle we have had no luck in locating Violet. When I walk into the office, I find the King pacing. "Did you find her?" No, your majesty we have looked everywhere. I get a sharp pain in my shoulder and when I pull my shirt down, I can see the mark that was already faded is even lighter. That b**ch is bonding to another I can feel it. "What did you expect she would do when you let her catch you, you i***t?" Your majesty I didn't intentionally allow her to catch me. "Well understand this if you don't win her back you will never be King." How can I win her back when I can't even find her? "Speak to Samantha to cast a tracking spell and pray that she isn't stronger than the spell." I go in search of Samantha a hybrid in our coven. It will be awkward since I've been with her. I knock on the door of the cottage and take a deep breath. When she opens the door, she smiles seductively at me. I don't have time for this s**t right now. Samantha, I need you to perform a tracking spell so I can find Violet. Her smiles fades and she slams the door. I yell through the door; the King has ordered it so unless you want me to tell him that you are disobeying him open now. She swings the door open "maybe I should tell him how you f**ked me while bonded to his daughter." He knows Violet caught me with someone else. The King knows that I have been doing it when she goes away. "You both are sick." I'll make sure I let him know you feel that way. "F**k you Troy, I will give you the spell and then never speak to me again." "I need something of hers to cast the spell." After I retrieve a scarf of Violets Samantha does her casting. She gives me a nearby human city as her location. I'm coming for you Violet.
