Masked
Violet’s duties as a s$$$e are reassigned, and she is given the task of packing and ironing with Sky’s assistance. This changes her routine, and she begins to notice the resentment from the other slaves who are given harder tasks. Violet’s frustration boils over, and she blurts out her feelings, acknowledging that the other slaves hate her and wish she would disappear. Sky intervenes, and Ash suggests that Violet use a mask to conceal her identity, pointing out that it would not harm her parents. Sam, the supervisor, is outraged, announcing that Violet must use a mask and work accordingly.
In Sam’s office, Violet learns that Ash’s constant complaints have put everyone in a bad mood, and Sam considers reporting her to the king. Sky cautions against this, explaining that anyone reported to the king faces punishment by death, no matter the offense. Violet is confused, wondering why Axel didn’t simply kill her or her father instead of torturing him. This conversation highlights the harsh realities of the world Violet inhabits, where brutal punishments are the norm.
Preparation
Axel, the king, is on his way to meet a veiled woman on the west coast, accompanied by Greg. Before leaving, he visits the s$$$e quarters to instruct Sam, the supervisor, on how to handle the slaves in his absence. Axel’s sudden visit raises concerns among the slaves, and he discovers Violet, his s$$$e, in Sam’s office, which sparks anger and a desire to tear Sam apart. Greg intervenes, reminding Axel to maintain control, and Axel’s true intentions are revealed – he wants to see Violet, but refuses to admit it to himself.
As Axel departs for his meeting, he’s preoccupied with the memory of Sam touching Violet’s hand, which further fuels his anger. Meanwhile, Greg shares news that Nathan has located traces of Axel’s aunt Emily, which sparks hope in Axel. Throughout the chapter, Axel’s character development reveals a complex individual struggling with his emotions and desires. His actions are driven by a mix of anger, frustration, and a deep-seated passion, which will likely shape the future of his relationships with Violet and others in the world.
The new s$$$e
Violet, still reeling from Axel’s sudden visit and lingering anger, proposes an idea to Sam that could help him overcome his dilemma. She suggests working in the mansion, using the mask if necessary, to prevent further complaints from the other slaves and maintain order in Axel’s absence. Sam is initially hesitant, but Violet’s reasoning and Sky’s astute observations eventually sway him, and he agrees to let her work in the mansion. Violet’s plan is motivated by her desire to help Sam and potentially gain a better understanding of the king’s intentions, but her actions also ignite a strange new feeling in her heart.
As Violet begins her new duties in the mansion, she meets with Hilda, who is taken aback by her presence. Violet’s encounter with Hilda marks the beginning of her new role in the mansion, which could potentially bring her closer to uncovering the truth about the king and his secrets. Meanwhile, Sam’s decision to let Violet work in the mansion has far-reaching implications, not only for her but also for Sky, who is assigned to work with Ash. The plot thickens as Violet navigates her new role and grapples with the complex emotions that arise from her encounter with Axel, further complicating her already precarious situation.
The smell of death
Violet, now employed in the mansion, is tasked by Hilda to check on Hera’s needs. However, Savannah, a royal, intercepts her and requests that Violet clean her back, which Violet reluctantly agrees to do. As Violet works on Savannah’s back, the royal begins to taunt Thalia, another royal, about Axel’s possible intentions, hinting at a romantic history between them. The tension between the two women is palpable, and Violet, caught in the middle, is left feeling uneasy and unsure of how to respond.
As Hilda exits the hall, leaving Violet alone with Savannah, the royal begins to confide in Violet, sharing her disdain for Thalia and her perceived superiority. Savannah then proceeds to undress and stands before Violet, her body gleaming with water, and begins to circle her, her eyes taking on a menacing quality. Violet is left feeling trapped and unsure of how to react, as Savannah seems to be testing her boundaries. The encounter raises questions about the dynamics between the royals and the slaves, and Violet’s own vulnerability in this new role.
Dead
Axel and his beta, Greg, arrive at a conference room in the same complex where Violet is employed by Hilda. Greg is irate at the delay, but Axel maintains his composure, intrigued by the mysterious woman, the Widow, who is supposed to be the ruler of the West. The Widow appears, veiled, and greets Axel with a sense of protocol, earning Greg’s ire. Axel, however, remains calm and polite, inquiring about the Widow’s identity and her presence.
The Widow begins to explain her situation, revealing that her husband was an alpha in the northern lands and that after the revolution, he didn’t survive. She claims to have rebuilt the land, but struggles to pay for taxes due to the lingering effects of war. Axel listens intently, seemingly fascinated by the Widow’s story. The tension between the characters builds as Greg’s aggression and the Widow’s poise escalate the situation. The encounter raises questions about the dynamics between rulers and their subjects, and the true intentions of the Widow and Axel.
Inhuman
Violet’s eyes widened in shock as Savannah’s frantic voice echoed through the mansion, causing the maids and guards to gather around. Savannah’s behavior and accusations only added to Violet’s confusion, and she demanded to know what had happened. Hilda pushed past her and examined the lifeless body of Hera, pronouncing her dead. The guards moved to take Hera’s body away, and Hilda instructed them to investigate the cause of death and check for pregnancy. As the room began to clear, Hilda stopped Violet, drawing attention to Savannah’s wild claims.
Hilda’s sudden display of authority and power is a stark contrast to her depiction as a seemingly meek and subservient character in the previous encounter with Axel. Her ability to command the slaves, maids, and even the concubines raises questions about her true role in the complex social hierarchy. As she gathers the remaining suspects, including Lady Thalia and Savannah, Hilda’s dark eyes spark with anger and her words convey a sense of menace, hinting at the consequences of withholding information. The mystery surrounding Hera’s death deepens, and the tension between the characters becomes increasingly palpable, highlighting the complex web of relationships and loyalties within the mansion.
Exposed
Axel, upon returning to the pack mansion, is greeted by Hilda and a guard outside the clinic where Hera’s body was taken. As he enters, he is met with the lifeless body of Hera, and his anger and frustration are palpable. Hilda explains that she had been brought down to the clinic immediately after finding the body, and Axel’s questions indicate that he is still trying to process the events. When Hilda failed to provide the information he sought, Axel’s anger boiled over, and he ordered her to gather all suspects in the throne room.
As Axel waits in the throne room, he becomes increasingly agitated, his wolf’s instincts taking over. He is awaiting the arrival of all those involved, including Violet and Sam, whom he believes are responsible for Hera’s death. His dark past with Violet seems to be influencing his judgment, and his desire for retribution appears to be clouding his ability to think rationally. His Beta, Greg, tries to intervene, but Axel’s fury and frustration are too great. The situation is escalating, and the tension between Axel and the others is building, threatening to lead to catastrophic consequences.
The veiled woman
Axel’s intense anger and frustration continue to escalate in the throne room as he awaits the arrival of suspects, including Violet and Sam, whom he believes are responsible for Hera’s death. As Hilda tries to intervene, Axel’s dark past with Violet seems to be influencing his judgment, leading to a trail of accusations and blame-shifting. In a dramatic turn of events, Savannah accuses Violet of killing Hera, citing the autopsy report suggesting a two-hour gap between the time of death and Violet’s arrival.
The situation rapidly deteriorates as Savannah’s wild accusations trigger a series of reactions from the others, including Hilda’s attempts to defend Violet and Greg’s whispers to Axel. As tension builds, Savannah’s desperation and paranoia become increasingly apparent, leading to a burst of anger and despair. Violet, now caught in the crossfire, is forced to defend herself against the mounting accusations. The implications of the situation raise questions about the true motives and desires of each character, underscoring the complex web of alliances, rivalries, and loyalties unfolding within the pack.
Confused
Axel is still reeling from the intense anger and frustration that has been building in him since Hera’s death. In his chambers, he tries to calm down but is unable to shake off the feeling of betrayal and hurt. His conversation with Greg reveals the depths of his emotions and his willingness to do whatever it takes to find and punish those responsible for her death. While Greg tries to caution Axel against making rash decisions, Axel’s mind is already made up, and he’s determined to make those responsible pay.
As the conversation continues, it becomes clear that Axel’s anger is fueled not just by Hera’s death but also by a sense of loss and confusion. He’s struggling to come to terms with the fact that his enemy could have orchestrated this betrayal from within the pack itself. The mention of the council of Alphas and their negative feelings towards Axel’s father adds a layer of complexity to the story, suggesting that Axel’s enemies may not be limited to just his concubines. The tension between Axel and Greg is palpable, and it’s clear that the latter is trying to keep Axel from making a mistake. The scene ends with Axel’s resolve to find the truth and exact revenge, leaving the reader wondering what will happen next and how the story will unfold.
Help me
Violet encounters a mysterious woman, Aaliyah, who seems to know everything about her. Aaliyah’s veiled face is a stark contrast to her soothing voice in the throne room, and Violet senses evil vibes emanating from her. The two engage in a tense conversation, with Aaliyah trying to establish a connection with Violet. She reveals that she knows Violet is the lost princess and wants to help her save her parents. However, Violet is wary of Aaliyah’s intentions, given the werewolves’ history of deceit.
As the conversation progresses, Violet becomes increasingly uneasy, sensing that Aaliyah is playing a game. The werewolf’s knowledge about Violet’s past and her desire to save her parents has her on edge. Aaliyah’s calm demeanor and sinister edge make Violet feel trapped, like a prey being circled by a predator. The two seem to be locked in a staring contest, with Violet’s fear and suspicion piqued by Aaliyah’s words. The exchange has left Violet wondering what Aaliyah truly wants and how it relates to her own predicament, particularly in light of Hera’s death and Axel’s quest for vengeance.

She is filled with unease, wondering if Aaliyah is playing a game or genuinely trying to help her. Violet’s doubts are fueled by Aaliyah’s ominous presence and unsettling gaze. Meanwhile, Hilda arrives to collect Violet, and as they approach the throne room, Violet notices that the door is unlocked, raising more questions about the identity of the woman and her true intentions.
As Violet and Hilda enter the throne room, they find the space rearranged for a strange ritual. The veiled woman is present, along with Axel, who is seemingly unaware of Aaliyah’s existence. Violet is led to the center of the room, where she is left to face her fate. Her conversation with Hilda is brief, with Violet expressing gratitude for her help and Hilda warning her not to get killed for something she didn’t do. Violet’s determination is evident as she holds her head high, refusing to let fear consume her.
Kill me
Axel’s unease grows as Violet successfully navigates the seemingly rigged test, leaving him feeling unsettled and betrayed. His wolf within him reacts violently, and he demands answers from Violet, his anger and frustration boiling over. Despite his threatening tone, Violet refuses to back down, standing tall and defiant in the face of Axel’s wrath. This only fuels his passion, and he finds himself torn between his desire to punish her and his intense attraction to her.
In a fit of rage, Axel orders Violet taken to the mansion as a s$$$e, pronouncing her punishment. Hilda, ever loyal, catches Violet as she’s about to fall and leads her away. As Axel’s anger dissipates, he’s left grappling with his emotions, his attraction to Violet refusing to be tamed. This development raises questions about the motivations behind Axel’s actions and the true nature of his connection to Violet, further complicating the intricate web of relationships and loyalties within the story.
A chance
Violet, imprisoned in a room by Hilda, is starting to lose her mind from the prolonged confinement. Her anxiety grows as she paces and chewed her fingers, desperate to be free to find a way to free her parents or at least confirm their safety. Hilda’s arrival brings a mix of relief and concern, as Violet’s mind is racing with questions about Axel’s intentions and whether she’ll be allowed to leave. Hilda’s revelation that she’s been keeping Violet in hiding because of the danger outside, referencing Hera’s recent death and the potential for further violent acts, raises the stakes and deepens Violet’s unease.
Hilda’s confession that she believes Violet is the king’s mate, citing her own reasons for this conviction, adds a new layer of complexity to the story. Violet is initially skeptical, but Hilda’s sincerity and strength in her assertion suggest that there may be truth to the claim. The transition from Hilda’s revelation to her announcement that Violet will begin working as the king’s chamber maid is ominous, with Hilda’s mixed emotions and Violet’s trepidation adding to the tension. The assignment itself raises concerns, and Violet’s questions about the potential risks are met with a guarded response from Hilda, leaving Violet no clearer about her fate.
Test results
Axel’s thoughts are consumed by his growing attraction to Violet, whom he has brought to work in his chambers. He instructs Hilda to keep Violet close, hoping to heal the torment his wolf is causing him. However, his rational mind knows he cannot be with a human, especially one whose parents had committed atrocities against his kind. The conflicting desires within Axel are driving him mad.
Axel visits Doctor Jasper in his office to learn the results of tests on Savannah and Thalia. Jasper is nervous and shaky, and reveals that there is a problem with Axel’s condition. Axel is impatient and demands to know what is wrong with him, but Jasper’s words only leave him with more questions and concerns. The encounter highlights Axel’s growing obsession with Violet and his inner turmoil, while also deepening the mystery surrounding his condition and its implications.
Forcing her

As the evening wears on, Axel’s drunken state leads him to Violet’s chambers, where he intends to assert his dominance over her.
