Taken (Sinful Series:book1)

Chapter 1 - Breeder

Dedicated to: Diana_margarita , who was the very first person or werewolf ;) (I love' ya the same!) to comment on "Taken". Thank you!

Also special thanks once again to Elkyrie_29 for the amazing covers!

And in case you enjoyed my recommendations: I am currently reading Meganfall 's Sheltering Macy (book #6 of the Stone Knight's MC). It's my first book from her series and boy, am I hooked! I love it. It's my inspiration for some bike-scenes later on in this book. You should read it. I am actually going to start reading the series from book1 as I am so INTO it. Warning: It's not were-book, but Meganfall has amazing Were-stories, too. You should check her profile out, if you haven't already done so!

And yes, my dears, Merry Xmas! (see footnote for more author's ramblings!)

*** the chapters after the first few are set on private. The full book is on Wattpad but you have to be a follower to read. Troubleshooting not seeing the chapters (unfollow me, delete book, follow me and add the book)***

Chapter 1 - Breeder

***

Violet

There were few things in life that were certain - birth, pain and death. Whether or not you were lucky enough to experience love and happiness along the way, was entirely up to the Fates. While such thoughts were morbid, life promised much worse. Growing up this far north meant nothing short of darkness and cold-hearted bastards, though the winters were nearly not as scary as were men. Or their wolves. You could take your pick.

The Northerner's spirit that hid behind the skin or lied beyond the yellow eyes was the true evil. Greed was reserved not only for humans alone. On the contrary, werewolves were more likely to put their paws on whatever they wanted, regardless if they had the right. They blamed their beasts for the never ending lust for power, but Violet knew better. Greed was the commodity that ruled the world in shapes and forms only few comprehended. Physical power in were society lead to higher social status. The strive to achieve it was inherent.

Werewolves.

Their nature was a salvation, but also a curse. Salvation in the form of a mate who could put an end to the nightmare Violet was living in. A curse – for she was a mere she-wolf in a society that was ruled, and dominated by males. Sadly, the female role was predetermined at conception. Those two XX chromosomes were a harsh sentence to anyone who could see the merciless truth. In a pack on the verge of a war, unmated females were a liability. The Pack needed numbers to fend off rogues, and could not spare them for protection. Besides Alpha Gagon's planned expansion needed to be sustained at all cost. Thus, she-wolves were exploited for their natural ability to birth the next generation, which was brainwashed from cradle to blindly follow their "mighty" leader.

Bloody eugenics.

Just like Hitler, Gagon thought himself worthy of selecting who survived and procreated. The propaganda started decades ago with the concept of fear, Gagnon managed to install in the pack's mind set. It was his way to control the narrative, and to control the masses. Even rogue attacks were used to justify the survival mode mentally imposed in the pack. They needed members to complete the next fortification, more bodies to man those outposts, denser patrols to guarantee safety. Ultimately, it translated in the need of more pups for the pack's salvation. But the pack had limited resources, which meant no food for the runts. Every single hungry throat to be fed needed to be able to pull their own weight, or else they would be left to their own demise.
