Chapter 481: Hide Her

Music Recommendation : Wars Of Faith by Audiomachine

—--------------

It was impossible...

Asher, Alaric, Griffin and Roman all had dumbfounded expressions as they stared at the majestic creature lying on the charred earth. Her fur shimmered in iridescent shades of deep amethyst and twilight violet, thick and sleek like molten silk.

For a moment, the wolf was so still they feared the worst until a soft whimper escaped her lips, low and pained. Then she moved, and that’s when they saw it.

Wings.

You have got to be kidding.

Massive wings stretched from her back, folding out with a low hiss. They were feathered, the same shade of violet as her fur, with glowing lines running through them like veins of light.

All four of the cardinal alphas stared in stunned silence. Just when they thought they couldn’t be shocked anymore.

It hit Asher then why Violet’s powers had been bound. If Angus had access to a creature like her, there’s no telling what he would have done with power like this.

At that moment, Violet’s eyes snapped open, glowing like molten stars, and pulsing with raw power.

But something else happened.

"Mate," Roman growled.

What?

Before any of them could react, a loud crack split the air as Roman shifted into his wolf and leapt into the crater, before any of them could stop him.

Roman’s claws kicked up dust as he rushed straight to her. Violet’s wings twitched awkwardly behind her, purple and regal, still foreign to her body. She looked lost, if not burned out. The fire inside of her might have burned out, but it sure left the ruin behind.

Roman felt the pain and the lingering fear from Violet as if she was still trapped in that nightmare of pain and he wanted to ease it.

So he circled her slowly with his tail lowered in submission, his massive green wolf brushing against her without forcing contact. Then he licked her muzzle, a soft, desperate sound rumbling from his chest.

Mine.

His wolf echoed in his head.

He nudged her chin gently, then pressed his side against hers. She flinched just a little but didn’t pull away. Roman let her feel his warmth, presence and heartbeat.

Mine.

He licked her again, this time under her jaw as a sign of comfort and claim. She let out a small, wounded whine.

Roman growled low, possessively, then curled himself around her, shielding her with his entire body from the world. His head rested across her back, his tail swaying.

Mine.

Above them, Griffin felt the emotions through the bond.

"She’s not hurting anymore," He said, watching Roman hold her like she was the only thing that mattered.

"Did the mate bond just hit Roman?" Alaric asked, even though the scene was playing out right in front of him. It was just hard to believe. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Asher balled his hands into fists. He knew he should be happy. Roman being mate-bonded meant the prophecy was real and that all four of them were destined to be Violet’s mates.

But his heart still broke.

What even triggered the bond?

If anyone deserved to be mated to Violet right now, it should be him. He saw her first. He chose her first. He loved her first. So why him?

Why does the goddess test him like this?

Why dangle the one thing he wanted, only to hand it to someone else?

What did he do so wrong to deserve this?

"Holy shit," Micah muttered as he stumbled onto the scene. He was barely upright, and was using Adele’s shoulder as his crutch. His face was pale, drained, as if smoke-walking through hell had torn the life from his bones.

"How...?" He was dumbfounded for two very solid reasons.

One : his sister was a damn winged wolf. Fantastic. His stress levels just tripled.

And two : why the hell was Roman sniffing around her butt like a bloodhound on heat?

Oh.

Oh no.

Oh hell no.

It hit him like a brick.

Micah glanced at the boys for answers, but one look at their faces screamed, bad idea. Yep, certified dumb question. He didn’t know how their love square worked, but clearly, the goddess had just played favorites and the rest were left on read.

What in the name of confusion was he even talking about? How in the world was this possible?! No wonder Violet had been so hell-bent on trusting the boys, despite all his warnings. She knew this would happen.
