VIOLET
Lilith takes me back to the same room and stops outside the door. Her back is facing me. She raises her fist and knocks on the door as I feel my heartbeat speeding up.
He is the King’s son. I was not wrong when I assumed that he is the man of power around here like Kane and Cassius and the third man with them.
What I don’t understand is why did Elias made me choose Wolf? What was the reason? This question is going to continue choking me until I get an answer from someone.
I gulp when Lilith opens the door and pushes me inside. I keep my head down as I stumble inside the room and she closes the door behind me.
“ Better than before. ” I hear him saying plainly.
Lifting my gaze, I steal a glance at him. Like before, he is covered in blood and he is still shirtless.
This time, the blood is not p
VIOLET ‘ Free for claims. ’ This is a term every slave human fears significantly. It’s a term which means that the master werewolf doesn’t want their slave and anyone who wants or wins the fight can have that human - if that human survives the ferocious contest of pushing and pulling from all sides of course. It’s not like werewolves are dying to have that human as their slave who is already rejected by a master - it’s more like they enjoy the torment the human goes through. I have watched something like this before. Izel - I remember the girl as if I saw her just an hour ago. She was up for the claims and she fought with all her might, but in the end, she didn’t survive. They grabbed her arms from both sides, pulling her body apart, claiming her ripped limbs and her dead head as well. Bile rises in my throat as I recall the memor
VIOLETFrom my sitting position, he seems so tall, lean and frightening. I gulp, staring at his bare torso, the sprinkles of blood on his body looking far more interesting to me than anything else in the room or on me or on him.For a while, Wolf doesn’t make any move. This confuses me further. From the time I have met him, it feels like he is always observing me or contemplating what he should do with me.All of a sudden, he crouches down in front of me, his face appearing in my view.I gasp, pushing myself back instinctively.His face appears so close. If I reach a little forward, I might even be touching him accidentally and I don’t want to do that - no way in hell.But, the sparks travelling down my spine force me to think otherwise.Wolf looks up, his eyes
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 stay standing in front of the window for the longest time. I am not shaking with fear anymore, but I am still anxious. Kane saw me. And the look he gave me has me thinking about his next moves. Will he tell Wolf? Of course, he will or else, he might just use this opportunity to get his revenge on me. I shiver slightly, finally finding myself strong enough to walk back to the bed. The T-shirt is placed on the bed. It’s strange that he asked me to wear something. When he asked me to wear it, I actually wanted to refuse. It’s a norm in my mind that I have to stay naked all the time when I am around the werewolves. The beating I got - every time that I tried to cover myself when I was in captivity before - is still imprinted on my mind, body, heart and even soul. My hand reaches out to the shirt. Not a big dea
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
VIOLETStefan walks me down the stairs to the basement. It’s dark down and I can’t see a thing, but he can navigate our way easily.From outside, it appears that he is alright but his tense hold over my hand says otherwise.Whatever that Veronica was trying to say was enough to make him feel anxious.I keep my mouth shut, knowing that if I talked, others would be able to hear. This also makes me wonder why they can’t hear me talking in Wolf’s room.Perhaps, the room is soundproof. I conclude and continue walking.Stefan stops outside a metal door and leaves my hand. He unlocks the door and turns to me. I can’t see his face clearly, because it’s too dark and this makes me desperate to see his expressions.What is he thinking right now? I want to know.“ Go inside. ” St
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
WOLFFinally, I think I know what I should do to prevent this whole situation from falling out of our hands.I inhale deeply and sign the papers that are placed in a file in front of me.I am currently sitting in the old Alpha Samuel’s office. Father sent me here to investigate him, but when I arrived, he tried to threaten me.He did make a grave mistake by doing so. Considering that he knew too much, I had to rip his head off his shoulders along with his Luna’s head.He is gone and with him, secrets are gone as well. He took the blame for most of the things and Father’s trust in me has re-established.I can’t make anymore mistakes now and I can never let the Alpha King doubt me again.“ You are thinking about all of it again. ” Cassius yawns from across the table.“ I don&

VIOLETI met everyone. Gysla, Cora, Elias, Viktor — my sweet, supportive friend, even Edward who turns out to be the newly appointed Orpheuns.Now I know what Leena meant by restoring the balance. It all started when Edward’s powers were snatched away from him and Katrina escaped before Edward could get to Orphena, and it is ending with him getting his powers back.I don’t feel bad anymore because Edward has a good vibe. He is nice to me and he loves Gysla.By the way, Gysla kept apologising for stabbing me and then Wolf but I have told her that if she hadn’t done this…Wolf and I would have lost each forever. Besides, it is all fate and we are pawns in this dangerous game — I don’t even feel salty about not having control of my life.I have…everything. Like the old man said.The happy faces around me only assure me of that everything that I needed and now, have gotten.Another thing has happened in a mere hour. With Edward’s arrival, everyone has found out that I am not the Orpheuns,
WOLFOne.Two.And three.The bathroom’s door bursts open on the count of three and Violet stomps out.Contrary to my over expectations, she has actually taken a bath before she has come stomping out. I don’t have to turn around and look at her to know this. She smells like her usual self and me.Her eyes try to drill holes in my head. I know why she is angry. My mark over my neck tells me all I want to know.Serves her right, I must say. She tricked me into getting marked and I have done the same, now we are childishly equal.“ You marked me. ” She states the obvious.“ I did. ” I nod my head and pick up the black dress shirt I had thrown over the bed earlier.“ How can you do this to me? ” She complains.I smirk, buttoning up my shirt. Turning around, I glance her way.Her small body looks cute wrapped in a towel and her red face only adds to the effect. But the love bites on her neck and my mark on her only turns me on, which is not helping my situation.I button up my last button
VIOLET“ If you are done feeling my presence in silence, you should get up and take a bath now. ” I speak after a while.“ You are right. ” He hums.His hand releases mine and I inhale sharply. Now I wish I hadn’t asked him to leave my hand.I shake my head internally and fold my arms over my chest. Wolf gets up from the bed and before I get the chance to say anything else, he picks me up, throws me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and begins to walk.My world turns upside down and I gasp, hitting his back with my fists. “ Put me down! ”“ You insisted on taking a bath. ” He continues to walk.“ I mean…you need to talk a bath. Not me! I already smell like flowers. ” I say, staring down at his back and his butt.“ I don’t like it. ” Wolf shakes his head and sighs.“ What? ” I question.My head is beginning to spin while my body sways with each step that he takes but I don’t really want Wolf to put me down.“ I like your natural scent. I don’t like you smelling like all these w
VIOLETIs this what ceasing to exist feels like? I am not sure.I can only focus on the fact that he is right in front of me, his lips pressed against my forehead and his breaths warming my hair.It feels surreal.I thought everything has ended but now I am here, hearing Wolf say that he loves me and I am his world. He is not acting overly excited or miserable either so I don’t know what’s going on.Although, I feel weak and this loss of energy makes me feel alive. Given that I spent so much time at Orphena, a year must have passed here since I died.“ Are you…not… ” I choke on my breath, trying to say something.One moment I was the most powerful being turning to dust and in the next, I am here, a weak girl lying in the bed, clueless about what is happening.What went wrong…or should I say right?“ Wolf…” I say his name and he separates himself from me instantly.The torment finally shows in his Golden globes and my breath gets knocked out of me.“ Don’t say anything. Stay silent fo
WOLFI should have known by the way she looked at me. I should have known that she was planning on taking my place all along. I should have known that she was silently reaching out to me, telling me about the future.Yet, I didn’t know until it was too late.The moment I stepped inside that portal, I felt a trigger going off in my head and I knew. It felt like a piece of me was breaking away, chipping away. I looked at her, tried to reach out and yet failed.After a while, my body jerked awake and a gasp left my lips. ‘Violet’. That’s all I could think about as I searched for her frantically and found her dead body lying close to me a week ago. What would you do for a loved one? I have known killing others was the only answer when it came to protecting and then avenging the people you loved.That’s why I instantly went into the killing mode the moment I heard my mother died. Years went by and I didn’t recover from that state of mind. The truth is…I never even considered everything
KANEI am sure I saw her lips part and then press together as if she had mouthed a word.Squinting my eyes, I lean closer to her face while my ears unconsciously search for her heartbeat.Just a hint, Violet. Give me something. I silently pray staring down her at her motionless face.My hands reach out to her face, touching it to feel the warmth, a spark of life in her.“ What happened? ” Cassius comes to me, questioning and looks over my shoulder.“ Her lips moved. ” I whisper dumbly.“ That’s not possible, Kane. ” Stefan comes on the other side of me, squeezing my shoulder.I shake my head, still touching her cheeks and listening in for her heartbeat. She is not breathing, her heart is not beating either but I…I saw her lips move.“ Kane. This is affecting you. Why don’t you go take some rest? ” Cassius suggests, getting worried about me.I don’t know what expressions they are seeing on my face right now to be wanting to send me away at a crucial time but I know what I saw.“ Her li
KANEIn my whole life, I have never truly believed in miracles. But I saw one happen a week ago when Wolf came back to life, when his dead heart started to beat again, when even the wound of silver healed on his body, when he opened his eyes and said only one word ‘Violet’.Then, he went silent. Didn’t say anything at all. Although he came back to life, his soul had died.I hadn’t really gotten over this miracle when I came to a realisation that even miracles required sacrifices.He came back and she left us.Was this any less horrible, any less painful, any less heart—breaking? No. When her heart stopped beating, I began to feel the exact way I felt when I saw Wolf die.I didn’t know what happened to her. I didn’t know how she suddenly died. She was not gravely injured and even her wounds had healed, then what happened to her? How did she die?I got the answer to that when Viktor’s mother came and then Edward came. She was dead yet she cared about the living and all the promises she
VIOLETGetting summoned to Orphena is a different experience than that of last time. Last time, I was so desperate and bothered that I didn’t even pay attention to my surroundings that much.This time, I can pause and admire the black ceilings, the black floor, the vast black table placed in the middle of the room and the same people sitting around it, because I have no fear, no desire, no tension. I am ready for whatever they have in store for me.Isn’t ceasing to exist far more better than staying stuck here for the rest of the eternity anyway? Hell yes, in my opinion.“ What excuse do you have this time? ” The boy yawns as if he is bored.I purse my lips before marching towards them and plumping down on the only empty chair.All the higher ups make it their job to glare at me, but refuse to say anything.I glance at the boy first. I don’t know his name — never asked.Then, I look at the old man. I don’t know his name either and the old lady who supported me last time…I don’t know
