NOAH.“You’ve been acting weird for two days. Are you having a fight with Violette?” Varg asked as we sat on a double stone near the ring.“There is nothing like that.”Varg rolled his eyes. “Don’t take me for a fool. If you are okay with her, you won’t be spending your time chatting with me.”Right. After the accident two days ago, I avoided Violette like the plague. I woke up at dawn and trained with Varg. Then I’d return when she was already sleeping. We weren’t fighting, by the way. I was just embarrassed after what I did to her.Not only that, I was afraid if I were to stay too close to her, I’d lose my control again. These days, my wolf had been a little uneasy. The coming Red Moon must have made an effect. Usually, a few months before it happened, our desire got the better of us.I was terrified if my control would suddenly snap, and I pounced on Violette without getting her permission. Lust could be that wild.“You have that kind of face, Noah. I pity you.”“What are you talki

VIOLETTE.“Don’t be nervous. Pretend like you really want to accept Olivia’s offer, but don’t be too excited. Be cautious as usual.” Noah told me.Behind this very door was a servant Olivia sent to take me to meet her. I was still anxious about my role in Noah’s plan, especially after knowing a witch was on their side. I fear the witch might help Olivia ensure I wouldn’t mess around.Noah tapped my cheeks gently after he lifted my chin with his finger. “You are going to be okay. Just be yourself. I’ll be here when you are done.”I couldn’t form a word to reply, so I nodded.“You can tell her everything she wants to know. As for today, I don’t have many things to do except meet Varg at the training ground. Tell her that if she asks you.”“Okay.”“Good. Now, go.” Noah pushed me and opened the door for me.The maid scrutinizing gaze fell on us. Her face was void of emotion as she looked at me from head to toe.“I’ll be going, Master,” I told Noah politely, then curtsied.“Excuse us, My Lo

NOAH.Violette’s mouth was agape the moment we stepped into Barlow’s manor. I could understand her reaction. Their residence was not much different from mine, which meant the Barlows had lots of money to build this huge place.She tiptoed and whispered carefully, “I feel like this place is more luxurious than your place.”“That’s what you got if you side with Nash.”“Perhaps I should change lanes?” She asked so innocently that it made me want nothing but to kiss her.“And leaves your handsome and sexy mate? Nah. You must be crazy if you ever think that, even for a second.”“Nash is handsome, though.”I glared at her, making her grin, and pinched my stomach playfully.“I never realize you are a jealous type.”“I’m possessive of you, my dear. I don’t take it lightly if you compliment another man, especially if the man is my enemy.” I said the words while gritting my teeth. I didn’t like the idea of Nash being a handsome figure in her head. I wanted her mind to be filled by me so that she

NOAH.Violette didn’t wake up even after we reached the castle. Marshall didn’t give anything for her to consume. He only told me that Violette would eventually wake up. The question was, when? I thought she would be awake when we arrived, but there was no sign of it.Marshall didn’t have a theory regarding this incident, especially after I told him about Violette’s identity. I didn’t tell him the whole truth, though. I only said Violette was an intruder who was my mate. So, he assumed Violette was a human.Mating between humans and Lycan wasn’t uncommon, making Marshall believe my words. Unfortunately, that couldn’t be said about the witch and Lycan.Despite knowing that Violette wasn’t our kin, Marshall still held onto his belief that Violette had a wolf. He even told me her wolf only appeared recently, probably because it found its mate. Aside from that, he also added that there might be a possibility of Violette being mixed blood.Damn, him. It only made everything worse. A witch

NOAH.As usual, I found Violette sitting near the window. I was informed that she went out today and took it as a sign that I could finally talk to her. Holding my breath, I rubbed my clammy hands to my clothes, wishing it could stop my heart from pounding like there was no tomorrow.“Hi, Violette,” I said, almost stuttering.She made a half turn, her eyes bore through me, judging and analyzing me. Gulping hard, I sauntered to her and kneeled before her. I reached for her hands and wrapped them in mine. I couldn’t face the sadness in her eyes, so I lowered my head like a coward.“How are you?”“Better than yesterday. Where have you been sleeping?” She asked back. Stroking my hair gently, making me flinch, then my muscle relax. She touched me. That’s another good sign.“I’m with Varg all the time. You can ask him if you are doubtful. I also visited Nash to report my visit to Barlow’s manor.”“I met with Luna Olivia, and I told her you kissed Lady Barlow—”“She kiss—”“I’m talking.” She
