VIOLET
I am dumped into the dungeons that are in the basement of this huge castle. In my almost eighteen years of life, I never saw such a place before.
I am indeed a general’s daughter and I have seen many marvellous places, but something about this castle is different.
Perhaps, it’s the walls that seem so spotless that I found myself mindlessly staring at them as I was dragged down the narrow staircase to the basement. Or maybe, the ceiling mesmerised me more.
When they dragged me out of the throne room, I glanced inside for the last time and saw what I had never seem before. The ceiling of the throne room was not plain. It was embellished with jewels of different sparkly colours, all looking like tiny stars shining in the sky and surrounded by those countless stars was a moon right on top of where the King’s throne was.
It was breath—taking. I wish I could look at it a little

VIOLET I get up on the desk, my butt sitting on it and my legs dangling down from the edge. A lump seems to be awkwardly struck in my throat and it refuses to go down. I feel so small under Katrina’s not-so-comfortable gaze. Unconsciously, I slide a little away from Wolf, going to the other edge of the desk so my bare back is facing Wolf and Katrina. I glance at Katrina from over my shoulder. I don’t know what’s going through her head, but I can tell it’s nothing normal. Ever so slowly, Katrina moves her gaze and looks at Wolf. I follow her eyes and watch Wolf’s stiff back. The muscles of his back seem too hard, too inhumane, stone—like. My eyes travel to his hands that are holding onto the edge of the desk tightly. I don’t know what’s going on in Katrina’s head but I have a hunch that Wolf knows. It’s like he can
VIOLET I cower, trying to pull back but Wolf’s grip on my thighs becomes strong, hurting even. Hastily, he gives my body a jerk forward, bringing me close to his own body. I gasp when my legs wrap around his torso and my hands shoot up to rest between his chest and my own breasts. Panic flares through my eyes once again as tears roll down my cheeks without any pause. “ Totally exciting. ” Katrina whispers from behind me. I press my lips into a thin line, staring at Wolf’s neck now. His eyes are out of my sight so I can’t tell if he is looking at Katrina or not. Wolf’s hands leave my thighs and creep behind my back. His fingers graze my spine and I shiver unconsciously. Electric sparks follow his fingers, up and up and then down and down. It makes my throat go dry with dread and a new feeling that I can’t identify. ‘ You should stay still. ’ The old voice which was the original female voice I always hear
KANE I am lying on the bed in my room, staring at the ceiling which shines like stars as the moonlight coming through the window hits it. Cora — as Violet addressed the girl earlier is sitting on the floor in the farthest corner of the room. Her eyes are cast down, but I know she is awfully aware of my presence and every move that I unconsciously make. She gasps softly every time that I move just even a little in my bed. She is so scared of me that it makes me surprised that she hasn’t passed out due to the fear yet. Although her memories of the time in Silver Moon Pack are gone, still she remembers everything that happened in her life and how she was caught and was brought to the silver moon pack. It’s because Wolf only wanted the memories of Silver Moon Pack erased. I heave a heavy breath and glance at her from the corne
CASSIUS I sprint down the hallways and cross all the surprised werewolves who pause to look my way. They have hardly ever seen me walking hastily. But, I can’t keep it in today. I don’t care what they think of the Alpha King’s most sophisticated son who they have never even talked to. It must be shocking to them and the news might travel faster to my father than I like. I slow down as the sudden thought crosses my mind. Father will find out that I was angry and he will call me in. I don’t want to see him. I don’t want to see his face, smell his scent, sense his displeasure. After all he had done to me and expected me to not hate him — even continue understanding him like a good son — that all has ruined everything for him. I hate him. He disgusts me. Actually everyone in this place has one person they want to say these words to…but they can’t because the other pe
KANEI take Violet to my room and Cora is quick to get up from the floor. My eyes flicker towards her and I find her staring at Violet’s unconscious face.Violet was so adamant on saving this girl, but now, Cora doesn’t remember her. How pathetic can this be?I inhale deeply and throw my head down before walking straight to the bathroom. Before Violet wakes up, it’s better for her to be cleaned and put to bed.Nothing can help her get over the trauma, but at least she will not feel too shameful towards herself.I know how the mindset of these woman who get forced into something like this work. Their first thought is that they are dirty and it’s fucking irritating. It’s not their fault and they are not the one who are dirty. It’s the other person who is dirty and at fault, but in this case…The ot
WOLFKane, Stefan and Cora leave the room and I am left alone with Violet.It’s hard for me to look at her. It’s harder than I can ever tell someone or even tell myself.I suck a shallow breath and stare at the floor. I know time is passing, but I don’t want to move.It’s the first time in my life that I have felt so utterly defeated. I never wanted to hurt her. That’s all I can think about and hold onto.But, I have hurt her. This is the brutal reality.I drag my gaze and look at her, at last. Her breathing is even as her chest rises up and down slowly.I drag my gaze up and my eyes land on her face. Her injured lips are parted and her eyes are closed.It’s better that she is not conscious, because I wouldn’t want her to see me like this or if she was awake, I wouldn&rsquo
VIOLETI was in the same place. Everything was dark, cold and I was just a floating light in the space with my Mom beside me. She was smiling, she was saying something to me but as always, I couldn’t hear her or move ahead to touch her.In that moment, all I wanted to do was to cry. Why did she force us to run? No…Why did I run away and left her to die alone? What have I even gained from doing so?This life can not be called life. Every breath is torturous to me.My body hurts but more than anything, my heart hurts. It feels like there is a gaping hole in my heart which appeared when Wolf forced himself on me.How can he do this to me? Even in my dreams, I was thinking about it as I watched my Mom’s smile disappearing and her eyes beginning to shed tears.It felt like she could hear me even though I couldn’t hear her. It seemed like she was crying for me, to me.But, I couldn’t do anythi
VIOLETThe situation becomes awkward.I have said it all aloud — every nonsense the voices spewed in my head.“ What did you say Violet? ” Kane repeats the same thing.His look is one of disbelief.Why is he so shocked? I can’t understand. I just said something randomly and he is acting like he has really done something like this.“ I — I don’t know what I am saying. ” I present an excuse.It’s true and it’s scary beyond all words.What’s happening to me?“ No. ” Kane shakes his head.My heart leaps to my mouth as I watch his eyes flashing. Then, he turns around and marches right out of the room. He doesn’t forget to close the door as he leaves.I release a heavy breath and push myself forward in the bed, my leg

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
