Chapter 627: What About Violet?
Duskmoon Hollow
Ziva had a smile on her face as she stirred from sleep. With her eyes still closed, she reached for her father, only
for her hand to meet empty sheets. Her lashes fluttered open, and the dreamy softness on her face hardened
into a frown.
She wanted more twith him, but apparently, the man had other plans. She didn’t need to guess where he
was; the low murmur of voices from the living room told her enough.
Ziva rose from bed and wrapped a robe loosely around her body. She wouldn't have minded walking out naked—
let the whole world see she belonged to the SuprAlpha—but her father hated when she distracted him
during business. So she settled for this.
When she stepped into the room, Jericho, her father’s Beta, was the first to notice her. His expression soured
immediately. The man never hid his distaste for her, and if not for his usefulness to Angus, she would've rid
herself of him long ago.
Three others were present, all werewolves, and her father’s loyal advisors. Though Angus had welcomed witches
into his new world, he still distrusted them enough to keep wolves closest. He had kinship with their kind, after
all. Hence, she was the only witch he trusted and she in return ensured the other witches stayed loyal to him —
by all means possible.
"You're here," Angus said without lifting his gaze from the reports spread across the table.
"Yes, Father." Ziva stepped beside him, slowly and deliberately brushing her hand over his arm as if to remind
everyone in the room who she belonged to.
Aside from the faint furrow that creased his brow, Angus didn’t react. His daughter was useful, but her petty
possessiveness was beginning to grate on him. Business was business; pleasure was pleasure.
The squiet disapproval shone in the eyes of his men, but none dared speak. They knew better than to
comment on the SuprAlpha’s personal affairs.
Ziva sensed the shift in the room, and it irritated her. "You started the meeting without me," she said, her voice
edged with accusation.
Angus finally turned his head, his cold eyes cutting into her. "I didn’t realize | needed your permission to start my
meetings."
Ziva flinched at the chill in his tone. It was only words, but she knew her father too well—he was angry.
"O-of course," she stammered, shrinking back slightly but still trying to recover. "I just thought you might

"Well," Angus said flatly, returning to the papers, "you're here now, aren't you?"
He shifted his focus back to the others, his tone brisk. "Now, where were we?"
As someone who liked to dominate a room, Ziva didn’t take kindly to her father’s cool treatment, and it showed
in the scowl that carved her face.
"...the attack on the North Pack could have been far worse if not for your daughter, Violet, stopping it," James,
one of Angus’s advisors, said.
At the mention of Violet, Ziva’'s eyes widened and then narrowed to hard slits. Of course she’d heard about the
rescue, but hearing it recited like a trophy in front of her father tore the old well of jealousy wide open. She didn’t
want Angus proud of anyone but her.
"She’s powerful," Angus conceded with a small nod. "Just like her mother." Pride laced his words.
Ziva’'s nails dug into her sides.
"If she’s that powerful, then convincing her to our side would be difficult. | mean compared to your other
children..." Jericho offered cautiously, glancing at Ziva as if trying to soften the blow. "She’s been raised to
loathe you and everything you stand for. | don’t see how that’s going to change easily."
"Yes, Father," Ziva agreed, forcing a smile. "What if Violet becomes strong enough to defeat you? Wouldn't it be
an advantage to remove her before she reaches full strength?"
Yes. Say yes. Letbe the one to rip her heart out,
she thought, venom coiling in her mind.
But Angus simply laughed. A loud, boisterous laughter as if all they had done was tell him jokes.
"It is not funny, father. I'm worried about you, here." Ziva pressed.
Angus said, "When we get to that bridge, we'd cross it."
"But —" Ziva wanted to protest but Angus had already moved on.
"This Patrick Vale," he asked Jericho, "can you find him?"
"The witches can if they put in effort." Jericho replied. "Why? Do you want him eliminated before he kills more of
our people?"
"That could be good PR," Edward, another advisor, interjected, "Alpha Angus risen and eliminates the racist
terrorist Patrick Vale."
Angus’s lips twitched. "Good thinking, but timing is everything. We'll find Patrick Vale
because we need to cloak him from being found by my brother Elijah and the government until the moment suits
us."
"So we let him kill more werewolves?" Jericho asked, incredulous.

The men in the room exchanged looks, then one by one nodded in agreement. The plan had the cold logic of a
trap, it was elegant and monstrous.
Edward, the third man, added, "We weave a sob story, pin your disappearance on Elijah. We'd make him the
