VIOLET
I hold my breath, staring up at Viktor. He waits for an answer to his very personal question.
“ I want to go back now. ” I breath and lower my gaze.
“ Okay. ” Viktor understands that he has asked a strange question so he doesn’t pushes me to answer him.
Instead, we both begin to walk back to the castle. This time, we both remain silent.
The city doesn’t mesmerise me like it did before either. Everything seems dull and meaningless.
Why didn’t he say something?
Why did he leave?
All the odd questions keep pounding my head.I mean…he could have walked over to us. It was not like Viktor and I was doing anything wrong.
But, he simply turned around and left.
‘ Disappointing turn of events. ’ A spirit shrieks from above.
I jump in my spot and place my hand on my chest.

VIOLETThe knock which sounds on the door makes me roll and drop down face first on the floor. “ Oooff… ”The maid on the other side of the door comes inside and finds me lying on the floor, cupping my nose.“ Are you alright Madam? ” She asks, bending down in front of me.“ Yes. Yes. Of course. I am completely alright. ” I laugh awkwardly, the pain shooting throughout my teeth and nose.“ Your Majesty invited you to breakfast. He wants you to be present in the dining room in ten minutes. ” The maid informs me in a puppet, bland tone.I remove my hands from over my nose and give her a horrified look.“ Luther? He wants me to come down? ” I question, wanting to hit my head on the wall.The maid’s
VIOLET“ Right…You don’t look fine either. ” Wolf huffs, trying to pry out of my hold.I stumble forward in an attempt to keep clinging onto him.“ Let me check your temperature. ” He explains the reason behind him wanting to step away from me.“ I feel cold. ” I lie, not wanting to leave him just yet.He is hard like a stone but he is still warm — burning hot would be a better term but who cares at this point.“ Then you must have fever. ” Wolf concludes, his heart still beating fast against my chest.“ You are nervous. ” I hum, snuggling my nose in his shirt.“ Why are you nervous? ” I question, sighing softly.His body turns more rigid and hard. His heart settles down in a fast rhythm.“ I am concerned. ” Wolf denies being nervous after a long pause of silence.I nod my head, my nose ru
VIOLET~TWO WEEKS LATER…Two weeks ago.We talked. We laughed. Then, we stayed by each other’s side in silence for hours.It was impossible to tell whether the day was turning into night or the night was turning into day after those hours, but it was appeasing to stay there, with him.Then, I fell asleep and woke up in my own bed, covered with blanket. It was still dark outside but, I could see a light, beyond those spirits, beyond the wall.I had woken up that day and had decided to train on my own. I practiced everything Gysla tried to teach me when I was at the Silvercrest Pack and tried to recall everything Cassius and Stefan had told me and worked out like Kane wanted me to do.In the end, I was able to get back to the routine because Wolf had gotten rid of the guilt and low sel
VIOLETThe atmosphere is tense during the dinner. All species sitting on the same table, taunting each other occasionally and also planning their next moves is a rare sight for sure.“ So…what’s your role in all this? ” The Elf Queen Marissa inquires from me, her tone mocking and filled with malice.I wonder if these supernaturals don’t know how to talk politely.I gulp the bite of rice in my mouth and drag my eyes in her direction.“ Do you know about the prophecy? ” I question, placing the spoon down into my plate.Yes, I know all about the prophecy already.The Elf Queen inhales and everyone in the dining room gives her the attention she requires.“ So we are simply depending on a prophecy and letting you participate in all this? ” She smirks and picks her wine glass, bringing it to her lips.My throat goes dry. My eyes burn and the sarcastic rema
VIOLETI walk out of the dining room and go straight to the balcony that became a little common spot Wolf and I visited almost everyday.I hoped to find him here but instead, I find Viktor.He is standing close to the railing, his hands holding onto it tightly.I turn around as soon as I see his back, ready to disappear before he sees me here.“ You are going to do this now? ” Viktor scoffs.The hair of my neck rise on their ends. I take in a sharp breath and turn back around.Viktor’s back is still facing me. His tensed posture doesn’t go unnoticed by me.“ You deserved what I did to you. It was a reminder to never pull that kind of shit on me again. ” I march forward, coming to a stop beside Viktor.I grab the railing between my hands just like Viktor and lean a little forward. The fairies are flying around, giving the impression of being fireflies like before.
VIOLETWhen I gave in to the urge and finally kissed him, he grabbed my waist tighter and pulled me impossibly closer. He devoured my lips, igniting a desire I never knew existed in my body.Heat creeps up my body as his lips suck on mine, his tongue darting out once now and then to caress my lips tantalisingly.It feels like fire is moulding my insides. I kiss him and overcome all fears and doubts about the future.It doesn’t take me long to run out of breath. I pull back and he allows me to do so. My ragged breaths hit his face as my chest rises and falls in a disrupted rhythm.“ I didn’t say yes— ” I choke on my breath but he doesn’t let me finish.Wolf’s lips land on mine again. This time with a great burning intensity which knocks the rest of the breath out of me.I remove my hands from his chest and wrap them around his neck, the touch of his skin making sparks of electr
WOLFBlood drips down my body, the large ground filled with lifeless bodies in front of me.Fire burns at one side and the blood of those dead humans flows to me, slowly and hauntingly.My heart pounds in my ears and I don’t feel anything looking at the horrendous sight. My body is still burning with the effect of the darkness that Katrina has forced into my body.The scene shifts and I find myself standing in front of my father, begging him to forgive Cassius’ mate.“ Banish her. Or ask Cassius to reject her. It will be even more worse. Don’t kill her father. ” It’s the first time I have actually felt like I have a heart which still beats and feels things I am not supposed to feel.“ A general begging for the life of a traitor. Can you drop any lower than this son? ” My father sne
VIOLETThe stupid smile stays plastered over my lips when I make my way to the dining room to have breakfast with the rest of the supernaturals who are leaving today.I still don’t know how these vampires measure time here but it’s not even necessary anymore. I am happy going with the flow.“ You look weird today. ” Kane groans, appearing beside me after hurriedly stepping down from the stairs.I look at his face which is in better condition and sigh. “ You knew too, didn’t you? ”Kane hums and doesn’t say anything. This gives me a hint that Stefan must have told Kane about what I asked him yesterday.I am sure Stefan mind—linked Wolf earlier and told him about it. That’s why he was acting like a jerk.Too bad. I couldn’t have more fun with Wolf.“ I don’t know if it’s for good or
