Viola had made dinner. And it was delicious. Leonardo came back home to the smell of spaghetti wafting into his nostrils. She invited him to have dinner. He was surprised at the gesture, she didn't have to and yet she did, he wondered why she had even bothered.

The clinking of cutlery and the soft hum of the music playing in the background filled the air as they savored their meal. Viola stole a glance at Leonardo, who looked dashing in his suit that he had not taken off, and her heart raced. She took a deep breath and decided it was now or never. Vanessa visiting had made her think about some things and she decided that now, more than ever, they needed to clarify their relationship.

They were mates, that was true, but lately it felt like something more had been blooming between the two of them. Something deeper.

"Leonardo," she began hesitantly, "there's something I've been wanting to talk to you about."

Leonardo, his eyes warm and attentive, put down his fork. "What is it, Viola?

She reached in as she tended to the blue hydrangeas that sat along her walls.The yellow walls created a cheerful and bright ambience that she loved. It was one of the things that she loved about the resort. It was one of the things she loved about their mountain resort at Lake Maggiore district."Viola!!!"A voice called out from the door and she turned and waved. It was their housekeeper Alessandra, she hated it when Viola got herself involved with the gardening, she always told her that she was making the gardener's job a little too easy."Vieni dentro!!"The woman shouted as she signalled for Viola to come inside."I

    "Marriage..."Viola murmured as she looked out of her window. She wasn't too keen on the idea of marrying a man she had never met nor being in a loveless relationship. But it could be good for her.Firstly, getting married would mean she would no longer be under her Nonno's control. That sounded very much like freedom to her. And if there was one thing Viola wanted more than anything it was to be free of her Grandfather's control, but even that came at a cost.Secondly, she would have her chance at the company. It had been her dream to run the family business. She had hoped that her Nonno would put her at the helm of the affairs of things, but it was likely that he didn't trust her enough to handle it. But she could. She knew she could. She just had to prove it to him.But she was worried about marrying someone who she had never seen or heard of. Arranged marriages were not uncommon in her family's social circle, but at least the couples in question had a sort of

    Leonardo was in a foul mood. He had received quite the word from his grandfather for almost arriving late to the dinner. And the argument he got in with his parents even made things much more worse."Are you out to annoy everyone today?"His younger sister Selena asked as she shook her head while walking past him. She cocked her head as she walked around him in a circle with a silly grin on her face.Leo rolled his eyes. He wished he could wipe off the grin on her face. But his sister could really be insufferable if she wanted to be and he wasn't quite ready to taunt her yet."I haven't annoyed you have I?"He retorted.Selena shrugged."Only a matter of time. Mum said the Santangelos might be running a little late. Lucky you.""I guess that gives me more time to brood."His sister rolled her eyes as she scoffed. Leonardo could be a hardhat sometimes."Stop being such a pain in the as

    When Leonardo had been asked to walk Viola to the garden, he was expecting more than the deafening silence she offered. That was all she offered. And he wasn't in the mood for conversation either, not after hearing that the wedding was going to be in three months. He wondered if she was just as worried as he was or if she was ecstatic about the fact that she was getting married. Afterall, snagging Leonardo Durante is what most women would consider a prize. Her face gave away no emotions, he really could not tell how she was feeling or how she would be feeling. "You like the garden?"He finally asked as he found her studying the daffodils."Yes."She said as she turned to ignore him and focused solely on the daffodils. He wondered what he was expected to say. "Are you okay with all this?"He asked with a frustrated sigh out of the blues and Viola paused.She slowly turned to look at Leonardo with a raise of her eyebrow."You

    There was something that her Grandfather wasn't telling her. Viola wondered what it was, but she could feel it, tugging at her every single moment.She was going shopping for an engagement ring with Leonardo and was picking out a dress to wear. Their families were very serious about the engagement apparently and how soon they wanted everything to be done. It all felt too rushed.Viola had also walked in on her grandfather saying that he wanted Viola to be married before her twenty fifth birthday. She wondered why, what was so important that she had to get married so soon. If there was something she need to know, she needed to find out from someone other than her grandfather."Alessandra?"She called out and Alessandra paused from combing Viola's long golden hair."What is it my dear?"She asked and Viola shrugged."I don't know. Nonno has been a little off lately. Do you know what's wrong with him? Seems like he is b

    Viola was barely home when Leonardo sent an apology text, she ignored him. He had made her wait for over an hour, she had called him several times, she knew that it was deliberate.He had stood her up on purpose and then promised to pick the ring himself. She was barely out of the car when Alessandra came running to her. "Viola!""Hey Alessandra. I didn't go ring shopping today, stupid Leonardo stood me up.""But he did say he'd get it himself, so I don't really care that much."Alessandra nodded. "No time for that mia figlia, Your grandfather has arranged a car for you, he wants to you to leave right away!"Viola looked around confused, she didn't know what was going on.Alessandra looked nervous. "You are not to waste another minute here, his instructions were very clear. Bruno is waiting for you over there with the car."Viola furrowed her eyebrows. "But what's going on? Why so soon?"Alessandra sighed. "

    Viola was hyperventilating, this was all too much to take in. Werewolves, witches, supernaturals, everything that had been downloaded to her seemed impossible to believe but made a lot of sense. Everything did, but she didn't know how she was exopeccted to believe it. "You are saying my father was a werewolf hunter? That was why you opposed the marriage."Her Nonno nodded his head. "His kind killed our kind. And I have kept the knowledge of that for a very long time. Your father has too many foes and a bloody history Your mother made the biggest mistakes of her life marrying him.""So, like my mother, I am a witch?"Her grandfather shrugged. "That is not the word I would use, because your skill set is far more advanced and greater than any ordinary witch. Your great grandmother who was my mother certainly didn't like to refer to herself as a witch."Viola shrugged. "What did she like to be called then?""Nothing. She didn't care

    Leonardo sat in his office, poring over files in preparation for an upcoming meeting. The faint sound of footsteps reached his ears, and he glanced up to find his beta, Loki, standing at the doorway. Loki's mischievous grin was as usual, but there was something different in his eyes today."Alpha, how's it going?" Loki asked, leaning casually against the doorframe. "Give me a moment... I should be done here soon and then we can head to the meeting." Loki nodded. "And how is Viola doing?""She's recovering very nicely."Leonardo answered with a smile on his face. He looked a little relieved too. "She's staying with me in the meantime, I think seeing her grandfather will annoy her too much." Loki raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Staying with you? That's good."Leonardo looked at Loki with a curious expression. "Do you have something to say? I feel like there's something on your mind...""Well... it's just that lately, you've been all about Viola. Talking about her, caring for her...

    In the bedroom, Viola lay still, her chest rising and falling in the rhythm of deep exhaustion. The air was heavy with the remnants of magic, a testament to the draining spell she had just performed. Leonardo, sat by her side, quiet, unwavering and still. She had completed the spell. She had finally unbinded herself from Gwenda. Which meant, Gwenda was dead. She still did not know the full details of how she had done what she needed to do, but all she could remember was that she had found a door in her mind to Gwenda's mind and she had opened that door and she had tampered with things she shouldn't have tampered with. No part of her felt sorry, at least not yet. She couldn't tell if it was because of the exhaustion or because of something else. As moonlight streamed through the window, casting a gentle glow over Viola's face, Leonardo's eyes gleamed with pride. With a tender smile, he brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and leaned in close. His warm breath danced on her skin

    “Leonardo! Leonardo!”Viola’s voice was low and raspy, her lips devoid of colour and her face pale and gaunt, she looked like she was about to faint. "I think she wants to kill me... this headache feels too much. It feels like my head is about to split into two."Viola moaned as she sat on the bedroom floor, Leonardo was by her side, holding on to her closely."I hate this so much! I feel so useless! I wish I could help!"He sounded agitated. The two of them were. It had barely been hours since they arrived from Vincenzo's place. "It should pass soon….”Viola murmured but even she wasn't sure of the words that were coming out of her mouth. The pain was so intense that she could feel it clouding her vision. "Should we try what Vincenzo said? Do you think it'll work?"Viola was too tired to speak. She couldn't even move her lips if she tried, but she nodded to Leonardo and he swung into action. Vincenzo had mentioned that the technique he was about to tell Viola was a theory his own

    The pain subsided moments later, but Viola knew she had only succeeded in distracting Gwenda momentarily. Gwenda would continue her wicked spells soon enough and she would be able to do nothing to stop it. The thought alone frightened her, that one person could take advantage of her power in such away.Leonardo looked distraught, she had made him cut her with a knife and even pour salt on the wound to slow down the healing. He didn't want to do it, but she had pleaded that for her sake he should. He tried his best and she had tried not to faint and the sight of her blood.The wound was slowly healing now and she was no longer trying to stop it from healing. Stalling would only delay, Gwenda would perform her spells anyway, she needed a way out.She flipped through Eudora's diaries hoping to find some answers, but there was so many information, but not on the

    "Miss Viola! Are you sure you're not making a terrible mistake?! What would happen if your grandfather comes back and doesn't see you at home?!"Alessandra pleaded but Viola ignored her, she continued dumping her clothes into the suitcase. It really was the last straw, she couldn't wait to leave. She also had to find a way to break the spell and since Gwenda was of no use to her she would have to find another way."I don't care. And what would he do? Really what would he do?!"She said as she laughed manically.She had had enough. Enough of his antics and enough of his games, if he wanted her to come back home he would have to right his wrongs."Oh please Viola! Just think it through...""I've made up my mind. I'm not coming to this house anymore. I'm leaving."She had called Leonardo, so he would be there any minute to pick her up."Viola please! Just think this through!""Think what through?! That man has had a hold on my life ever since I was born! And now, even when I'm grown he's

    Leonardo dropped off Viola at her home, he wanted to be with her but he was going to have a lot of work to do and he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to watch over her properly. Viola was still very weak, her body was sore and she could barely walk on her feet, Leonardo had to carry her to her room.Gwenda rushed to her room few minutes after he left after being informed by Alessandra that Viola was sick and weak. "What happened?!"She exclaimed as she saw Viola lying on her bed weak. She had eye-bags underneath her eyes, her skin looked pale and her lips were chapped. Viola smiled weakly, few hours ago she had felt on top of the world, racing through the woods with inhuman speed and now she couldn't even lift her legs without pain shooting through her."The transformation spell... took more out of me than I expected."She said and Gwenda shook her head.“Oh dear! I’m so sorry! If I had known it would we would have found another way.”Viola shrugged.“It was the only way.”"I'll make

    Leonardo watched Viola sleeping peacefully in his bed. He had opened the curtains, letting the sunlight in and hoping that it would prompt her to wake up. She had been sleeping all morning, granted, the transformation spell must have taken a lot of her energy but he didn't plan to stay in the pack house the whole day and he wanted to leave. He was meant to take her with him. She stirred slightly, then her eyes fluttered open. She turned and looked straight at him."Glad you're awake.""How are you doing?"He asked her and she nodded."I'm fine."She said as she slowly sat upright.God she felt like someone had hit her with bricks all over and she felt so sore. She didn’t imagine that she would feel so sick and exhausted. "Do you remember everything that happened?"He asked and she nodded, her fingers slightly massaging her forehead. Did she? "Yes. Yes. I think I do.""Did I pass my initiation?"She asked eagerly and Leonardo nodded."You did. The elders would be here any minute to

    Leonardo and Viola arrived at the pack house late. Around seven pm. The initiation ritual was in a few minutes. They had left pretty late because Viola had been stuck on the transformation spell for hours. Hours and hours on end before Gwenda finally made a breakthrough. Even when she finally did, she didn't get time to practice the spell because Leonardo had come around to pick her up shortly after. She had no other choice but to leave with him. He didn't tell her what her ordeal would be or if he managed to make it easier for her but from the grim look on his face and the unspoken words he said, Viola could tell that it was not good.She tried to remain calm and Leonardo had offered her words of encouragement. She knew she had tried her best from her end, even with the limited time, she had pushed herself, more than she had ever done before just to make sure she had least had a fighting chance at her ordeal.When they arrived at the pack house they were led straight to an opening
