Chapter 1060 Alpha Violet and Alpha Ashton (1)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Violet and Ashton managed to leave the Moonrider family dynamics behind them as they entered the room reserved for Violet. It was the second largest bedroom in the main building, right after Talia's and Damon's.

Axel and Yasmin stayed in that room until Violet was born, and then they moved into a separate wing with their children. Axel was not the guy who cared about hierarchy and positions. His focus was on his family and his pack. As long as everyone was safe and had food on their tables, he was happy.

Ashton closed the door and hugged Violet from behind. "Are you OK?"

He knew that under that cocky attitude and assertion of dominance, Violet didn't enjoy what they did to Valeria. That was why he volunteered to do all the fighting because Violet wouldn't be able to. Or she would, but every hit Violet delivered would hurt her twice as much.

Violet's façade was solid, but Ashton could feel her heartbreak. She was strong and fragile at the same time, and Ashton admired her very much. If he could, he would take away every hardship from her path.

Violet was unsure what to do with all the emotions. She won and demonstrated that she and her mate were the best, but the victory was bitter. With her brothers, there was never-ending competition, but they all knew their place, and no one showed any intention to claim anything that was hers. It was different with Valeria.

Violet was grateful that Ashton was her shield and her sword, and now her comfort. Alpha Ashton Pascal was the perfect mate. Her mate.

"Hold me, Ash," Violet whispered while fisting Ashton's shirt.

"It will be alright."

"Will it?"

"No one can have it all, Vi. Life is full of choices which means that there will be times when you lose something. If you are lucky, the choice will be easy."

"It's not my fault that my mother is the Alpha of this pack. It's not my fault that the Moon Goddess made us mates. It's not my fault that I'm Violet Blake, and she is not."

"I know," Ashton said. "And I'm sure that Val knows it too. But it will be up to her to accept it." He tightened his hold on her. "You made a tough decision, and I am proud of you."

Violet was embarrassed. She was whiny, and Ashton was comforting her while offering her words of wisdom, and between the two of them, Ashton was the one who made many thought choices. She had it easy, with her parents, brothers, friends, and her pack supporting her, yet Ashton endured solitude, dangerous procedures, and fierce battles for five years... because of her.

Ashton's eyes flashed as he understood what she wanted. It was a sudden change in mood as he didn't expect her to wish comfort by No matter how hard she trained and how quickly her powers grew, Violet was aware that she was missing something... or maybe someone who would anchor her and show her the way without hindering her. The right man was right there, holding her, comforting her, accepting her, and somehow, she knew it will be alright.

Violet looked up at Ashton with her vision blurred from tears. She was not sad. Those were happy tears.

"Make love to me, Ashton," she pleaded.

Ashton's eyes flashed as he understood what she wanted. It was a sudden change in mood as he didn't expect her to wish comfort by indulging in carnal pleasures, but he had no objections. Ashton scooped her in his arms and rushed to the bed, fearing she might change her mind if he was too slow.

Violet watched with amusement as he removed his clothes with urgency.

Every tension of his muscles pulled on her heartstrings.

"I thank the Goddess for making you mine. You are beautiful," she breathed.

Ashton froze and stared at her. "Those are my lines, Vi. You are the most beautiful female in the universe, and..." He crawled on the bed on top of her. "I thank the Moon Goddess for allowing me to be your mate." He kissed her chin. "I am honored..." He kissed her nose. "And humbled..."

"And horny," she said with a grin.

"That too." Ashton clicked his tongue. "Why are you still dressed, Vi?"

"I'm waiting for my mate to undress me."

It took her a moment to realize she had made a mistake. But before she could protest, Ashton tugged the bottom hem of her shirt. The fabric gave in like it was nothing, and within a second, Violet was completely naked, and tatters of what used to be her clothes were falling on the ground all over the room.

"Does my mate want anything else before I start feasting on her?" Ashton asked with a playful smirk.

Violet gave up on scolding him. She didn't care about clothes.

"Nothing, my Alpha," Violet said. "The feast can begin."

They had a few hours before the feast, and Ashton had every intention to have a feast of his own first, with Violet as the appetizer, main dish, and dessert. He loved desserts, especially when they smelled of open forests and meadows filled with wildflowers, like Violet.

Ashton growled lowly as he descended to claim her lips with his.

Violet closed her eyes and allowed herself to get lost in Ashton because his proximity and the sparks of their bond made all bad things disappear.

They were both Alphas, eager to show dominance, but when it came to carnal pleasures, Violet was happily letting him take the lead.

She wanted him to know that she craved his touch and was submitting to him willingly. It was important for him to know she was his, even though they were equals. Actually, even after all the modifications and hardships Ashton went through, Violet was possibly stronger than he was, but she would never challenge him in such a way. Violet found it easy to let go of control because she knew Aston will put her first. He always put her first.

...

The pack feast was set up outside, on the clearing behind the main house.

It was crowded. Almost all pack members assembled.

A party of such a size would typically take days to set up, or maybe weeks, but Yasmin and Axel called the whole Midnight Guardians pack to bring drinks and food, like it was a casual picnic where everyone could bring what they could. Ideally, they would bring enough for themselves with a bit of extra. No one came emptyhanded.

The event turned out with quite a surplus of food because people wanted to impress Violet Blake, their future Alpha, and Ashton Pascal, her mate; by extension, their future Alpha also.

The word spread that Ashton defeated Valeria and Edgar while protecting Violet. If not for this, people would think that Ashton was not worthy of being their Alpha because no one could stand by Alpha Violet Blake's side as an equal. But after the news of Ashton's victory, people were curious.

Some pack members prepared gifts for Violet and Ashton, and Yasmin organized her oldest kids to keep the presents in the side room for the newly mated Alpha couple to open later.

For many members of the Midnight Guardians pack, this was their first chance to see Ashton in person. People remembered him as a mischievous child and a teen who didn't draw attention. Ashton was one of the rare low-profile Alphas of the new generation, and it was surprising to hear he was mated to their young Alpha Violet, the most powerful Alpha among young adults.

The crowd stirred when Ashton and Violet appeared.

They were side-by-side with Ashton's arm around Violet's shoulders and hers around his waist. No one could deny that they were beautiful, and the power oozing from them was tangible.

Violet's eyes moved over numerous faces, and she smiled happily as she sensed the approval of her people. They approved of her and Ashton, and that meant a lot.
