WOLFI walk through the thick forest, my eyes scanning my surroundings carefully. The bird following me all around the forest doesn’t go unnoticed by me, but I have to pretend to not see it.When I see the cave in the distance, I pick my speed. Closing the distance, I enter the cave silently.A buzz goes off as the magical barrier around the cave’s entrance allows me in. I roll my shoulders back and stare at the sight in front of me. A wide forest lays before me. Cassius and Kane are standing by the trees on my right, the later glaring at me.Turning around, I look at the wall behind me. From outside, it looks like a cave where I go to meditate every day and the bird follows me like my shadow, but in here, lies something else - something no one will ever find out and if they do…I don’t want to think about it yet.We are not ready for this. Not yet.

VIOLET “ I don’t like mess, Lilith. ” Wolf hums.The female hand pauses and a sigh escapes my lips. Lilith doesn’t protest and places the plate down on the floor before she retreats and leaves the room.I lift my head, finding Wolf lying on the bed now, his arm covering his forehead and eyes.“ Th - Thank you. ” I choke on my breath.Never in my life did I think that I will say thank you to a monster willingly, but life is so unpredictable.No response comes from Wolf, so I start eating in the thick silence. Finishing the food on the plate, I feel like my energy has returned completely.I chew the last bite and look up. My mouth stops working when I see him looking right at me, his arm placed over his head now.His Golden eyes don’t look like fire is moving in them t

VIOLETAfter we all make a row outside, they lead us up the stairs. They assign everyone their duties in the pack-house. The duties include scrubbing floors, cleaning rooms, gardens, backyards and all the area around the huge pack-house.I am asked to clean the staircase of the great hall so I get to work and I am glad that Cora is nearby, scrubbing the floor and making it slick clean.I clean the spiral staircase, going up a stair as I wipe the Golden railing with a cloth. My eyes move toward Cora occasionally and I always sigh in relief when I find her busy in her work.I walk up some more stairs, the great hall disappearing from my sight. Cora is working and I should get my work done too or someone might come to haunt me again.I inhale deeply and wipe every speck of dirt from the railing. It takes me at least half an hour to make the railing sparkling clean.When I am done, I place my hands on my sides and lean back, loo

VIOLETI am floating in space. Everything is dark out here. It only gets illuminated when I see people - the dead. My mother, my father, Izel, Mario, Samantha.I keep seeing them but I can’t talk to them because there is a transparent wall between us. That wall contains me from communicating with them. I know it’s all in my head so I don’t understand why my brain doesn’t allow me to have a conversation with the people that are in my subconscious mind.Slowly, everything begins to disappear. My mother. My father. Izel. Mario. Samantha. They all disappear and everything becomes dark.Then, I see a ray of Golden light softly travelling towards me. I don’t know what kind of nightmare it is this time, but I get attracted to the Golden flame.When it gets near me, I push my hand forward, wanting to touch it in an awe-struck daze. I gasp when it starts engulfing my figure and illuminating everything in the da

VIOLET “ What happened after I fainted? ” I question quietly as I glance at her. My eyes slowly move down to her neck and I notice something which I didn’t notice earlier. The collar around her neck. Tremors run up my body as I sit straight, placing my hand on her head and pushing it off my shoulder. The letters are imbedded in the collar in silver writing and it was supposed to be almost impossible for me to miss, but I did. I gulp my saliva and try to see the name but she wraps her hand around it, restricting me from reading it. I lift my gaze to hers and purse my lips. “ What happened? ” I rest my back against the wall, my eyes fixed at Cora. “ He came after you fainted. ” Cora sighs and removes her hand from around her neck. My eyebrows pull together. Is she talking about Wolf? I lower my gaze and glance at the name engraved in the collar. A lump gets stuck in my throat right away an
