Chapter 919 – Hidden Desires of the Werewolf King Novel

Filed To Story: Veiled Desires of the Alpha King Novel

“I don’t know about tomorrow, but I know what I want to do right now…” His breath fanned her ear. “In my room. With my mate. You know, Vi… I never had a female here.” Sure, he wanked off more times than he would like to admit, but to have a woman here, in his bed… it would be a first.

Violet closed her eyes when his arms wrapped around her, and he kissed his ear, and they both froze when the door of his room opened.

“Oops!” Luna Michelle exclaimed. She was holding a tray with fruits. “I thought you kids might be hungry since you didn’t finish lunch. I will leave this here, and I will give you privacy.”

Ashton closed his eyes. He didn’t need to look to know that his mother placed the tray on the coffee table and left the room, but not before she threw another glance or two at them.

“I’m so sorry…” He said.

“Lock the door,” Violet snapped.

There was a clicking sound, and in the next moment, Ashton’s arms were back around Violet’s waist.

“Sorry, love. My mom can be…” He didn’t know how to end this.

“Good that you know,” Violet snapped.

Violet looked at Ashton as irritation swelled within her. She didn’t want to break the lovey-dovey mood, but his mother had broken it already.

There was a danger of Violet coming out as overbearing and controlling, but leaving this for later was not a good idea because Ashton would think it was fine when it was NOT fine, and he will continue allowing this to happen. This behavior needed to be nipped in the bud, and Violet was ready for nipping.

“I don’t want to be a pain in the ass, but this is unacceptable.” Violet grabbed his shirt. “You are Alpha Ashton Pascal, my mate, and I have no intention of sharing you, even if the other woman is your mother. Is that clear?”

Her possessiveness turned him on. “Crystal clear.”

He went for a kiss, but Violet dodged him.

“Vi?” He called, and her eyes fell on the fruits Luna Michelle brought.

There were grapes, oranges, apples, and strawberries. Everything was washed and cleaned, oranges were peeled, and apples were cut into geometric shapes.

“Be honest with me, Ash. If I’m not here, your mom would feed you.”

Ashton didn’t respond.

“Ash?”

“Only if my hands were busy with something else.”

Violet couldn’t believe this. He was a grown-ass man! “What else does your mother do for you? Prepare you a bath? Wash your back? Irons your underwear?”

Ashton puffed his cheeks as he realized where this was going. “I was not raised by Omegas. Mom was doing all that when I was a kid. I was gone for five years, and other than adjusting to the fact that I have a mate, she needs to adjust to the fact that I grew up. Give her time.”

Violet’s eyes flashed in anger. “I am Alpha Violet Blake. I don’t give anything to people. I take what I want, and I want you to tell me if we have a problem.”

Ashton was taken aback. Why was she so angry? “A problem?”

“Don’t play stupid, Ash—your mother. I am not used to sharing, and I have no intention of sharing you. Your mother needs to step back, or I will.”

Ashton’s stomach dropped. Why did that sound like an almost rejection? “What are you saying?”

“If it’s any other woman, I would fight her, make her submit. However, this is your mother and your problem. You need to show me you will stand up for me, for us. If you don’t, I’m gone. Make your choice. Now.” She squeezed that last word through her teeth irritably.

Ashton was quick to wrap his arms around Violet. “Vi, I need you to calm down.” Her eyes were flashing in silvery light, and the wind in the room was picking up. “What sharing? There is no such thing. I was only trying to explain my mother’s – “

Violet pushed him away angrily. He didn’t expect it and ended up stepping backward.

Ashton was about to go back to hugging her, but Violet extended her arms to prevent him from getting closer.

“This is a problem, Ash. Instead of explaining TO ME that I need to be tolerant, you should be talking with your mother.”

Violet didn’t want to corner him and make him choose; she really didn’t. But her wolf was hurting at the thought of their mate codling feelings of another person, and neither Violet nor her wolf cared who the other person was. He didn’t put her first. That was enough to hurt.

Violet was never so furious or disappointed.

She imagined her mate would crush everything and everyone that stood between them, and he would do anything to make her happy, and he had done that so far with everyone except with his mother. And not only that, but he was expecting Violet to be understanding and patient while his mother adjusted to this situation. What a joke!

Her eyes filled with angry tears, and she didn’t want him to see her like that.

Violet turned on her heel and dashed toward the open window, not caring that they were on the third floor.

“VI!” Ashton shouted and ran after her. By the time he was there, he saw a golden wolf running toward the forest. “Fuck!” He cursed loudly. Now what? Should he talk to his mother or go after Violet?

After a moment of hesitation, Ashton leaped through the window and exploded into his massive gray wolf.

‘Vi! VI! Wait!’ Ashton shouted through their mind link while struggling to catch up with her.

‘I know you can hear me. Please. Wait. WAIT!’

He was running as fast as he could. More than once, he lost sight of her, but he used her scent and the pull of the mate bond to guide him.

‘Love, let’s talk about this.’

‘There is nothing for us to talk about,’ she hissed back.

‘Yes, there is. I don’t want us to fight whenever we disagree.’

‘This is a disagreement only if you think it’s fine for your mother to disrespect me. Is that what you are saying?’

‘Of course not! Can you stop looking for a fight when there is none?’

‘We are not fighting! I am angry, and I need to vent. Give me space, or I will release my anger on you, and I don’t want that.’

‘I’m fine with it, Vi. Use me as your punching bag. It will hurt less than you running away from me.’

This made her slow down. She didn’t want to run away, but she didn’t want to fight him either.

‘I know I’m wrong, Ash. I know I’m unreasonable, but…’ She slowed down more, and Ashton caught up to her.

He jumped in front of Violet and blocked her path. ‘But?’

Violet shook her furry head.

‘Talk to me, Vi,’ Ashton pleaded.

She raised her head slowly to meet his gaze. Even as a wolf, he was handsome.

‘I don’t know how to deal with this, Ash. I can’t stand anyone else touching you. I can’t stand when you look at another, even if that other is your mom. I need you to be with me. I need you to look at me, only me, and tell everyone else to scram.’

He snorted. ‘I feel the same about you, Vi. There will be no touching and no looking other than you. How about that?’

‘You can’t exclude others from your life.’

‘Why not? I have done that for the last five years. The difference is that now I have you.’ He approached her slowly and rubbed his head on her neck. ‘I waited six years to claim you, Vi. That’s six eternities on my calendar. I have no intention of waiting for another minute. I want us to be together all the time. Every second counts. Don’t run away from me. If you don’t want my mother nearby, I will cut her off.’

‘That’s not fair.’

‘I don’t care. The only thing I care about is that you are happy, and I know you are happy when it’s just the two of us.’

Violet’s eyes widened as the big gray wolf shifted into a shape of a handsome man. She saw Ashton naked many times, but the sight of his muscles and tattoo-covered flesh made her heart speed up.

Now that she was in her wolf form, his scent of carnations was so much stronger than usually; it made her dizzy. It called her to get closer. He was irresistible.

Ashton sat on the ground and extended his arms to Violet.

Violet raised her head and sniffed the air.

Ashton chuckled, knowing why she did that. “Don’t worry. There is no one around to see me.” He frowned. “But just in case, I want you to stay like that.”

Violet realized that he didn’t want her to shift. He wanted her in wolf form in case someone comes around and sees her naked. Talk about double standards, but she was glad that he was so protective of her.

Violet put her head on Ashton’s thigh, and he ran his fingers through her golden fur. Her muscles rippled because everything was much more sensitive when she was a wolf.

Ashton leaned to kiss the top of her head.

“You are beautiful, Vi. I am lucky to have you in my arms.”

The sincerity of his words hit her hard, and she whimpered.

“Do you want us to return to the Midnight Guardians pack?” Ashton asked, his fingers never stopping their movement through her rich fur. “We can spend another few months there and see if that’s enough to satisfy our cravings for each other. And if that’s not enough, we will stay there longer. Forever, if needed. I don’t care about me or you being Alpha. I don’t care about welcoming dinners and feasts, and I definitely don’t care about ceremonies that will put me in a position I don’t want. The only thing I want is to be with you, and if other people are upsetting this bliss we have, we can leave, run away, go to a place where it will be just the two of us. We can live in a human city or find an isolated spot. I will build us a shelter, and hunt for food, and it will be just us. What do you say?”

Violet raised her head to look at him.

‘We can’t do that, Ash,’ Violet was snarling, snorting, and making other noises in her wolf form, but her words reached him clearly through their mind link. ‘If you leave, there will be no one to lead the Spring Leaf pack. And if I leave, Jacob will take over the Shadow Fang pack, and Valeria will become the Alpha of the Midnight Guardians pack.’

“Would that be bad?” He didn’t bother using the mind link, knowing she could understand him.

‘They will never live up to those roles, Ash. Not because I don’t trust they can do it, but because they will know that they got those positions only because I left. They will doubt their abilities, and they will doubt the pack’s loyalty, and those will eat them from the inside. A leader without confidence is doomed for failure, and the pack will suffer.’

Ashton smiled. “The Moon Goddess blessed me with a wise mate. You are not only breathtakingly beautiful and powerful, but you also hold wisdom beyond your age. I am indeed a lucky guy.”

Violet snorted, and she moved her head to the side only to be greeted with Ashton’s raging erection hitting her snout.

‘Why are you aroused now? Are you into furries?’

Ashton chuckled. “I thought I told you a story about how once I nearly fucked a mountain goat. She was lucky I hadn’t eaten for days and was starving. You, on the other hand…” He grinned. “I had lunch, so I am rather horny.”

Violet’s eyes were open so wide that they nearly popped out of their sockets.

She quickly flipped her body and landed on her four legs.

‘If you want to eat this…’ She raised her tail to show him her butt. ‘You will need to catch me first!’
