VIOLET
“ Next time…come a little early please. ” Kane groans loudly.
My eyes snap in his direction. He is lying on his back on the fresh grass.
I look around myself. We are in a field of some kind which is surrounded by forests on all sides.
It’s just like the last night when I stumbled into that portal and ended up in the human hideout.
It’s magic. I remember the voices said it to me.
Tears well in my eyes as I see them all. Kane who is lying on his back. Cassius who is standing beside Kane, his back facing me. Stefan who is sitting with his legs spread apart as he breathes heavily.
Then, I look at the monsters who fought by their sides.
My eyes catch sight of Cora among them all and my worry eases a little. She is sitting at a little distance from Kane and Cassius.
I don’t know who got her here but I am thankful to them.
And then I look at Elias who has dropp
VIOLET“ Stay here, Violet. ”A lump pops in my throat but I don’t move from my spot after hearing her. Elias glances at me and blinks his eyes in a gesture for me to do as she says.I nod my head and hang it low, a sigh escaping my mouth.After all Wolf has done to me, they still think it’s a good idea to leave me alone with him. What if I lose control over my rational mind and take advantage of his state to take my revenge somehow? What if I find a way to kill him and proceed with it?I press my lips in a thin. Everyone leaves the room and the door closes, leaving me behind with the groaning and grunting Wolf.“ V — V…Violet. ” He groans.My ears perk up and I turn around to face him. Is it that phase where you regret all your mistakes before dying?Is that why he
VIOLET“ Once you set your mind to saving Wolf…I am sure you will know what to do. ” Stefan utters and then leaves the room without waiting for me to refuse or agree to this.Why me? How can I save him? I can’t do it.I gulp and sit down on the floor near the bed, hearing Wolf continue to call my name in a pained voice.It’s hard, hearing him choking on his own pain but it’s satisfying nonetheless.‘ You have the blood of a monster running in your veins after all. ’ A voice travels through my mind like a soft breeze.I jerk forward, the strange words pushing me deeper into the abyss of darkness.Stefan, Cassius and Kane really did try to keep me safe. In the start, I feared Kane but he was not that bad either.Everyone of them was different in their own way and had their agendas but they did try to protect me. All their actions made sense now.I heave a he
VIOLETThe black haired woman brings me to a huge room at the other side of the mansion. I follow her without verbally asking any questions.She seems to be wanting to talk to me a lot and I don’t know why.“ What is this place? ” I question her when she goes to the wardrobe.My eyes take in the room. Everything is white and blue here unlike the Golden and white of the castle. It’s cozy.“ It’s the Silvercrest pack. ” The woman replies making me pause.“ So the…people down there…they were all werewolves? ” I ask.Bile rises in my throat. Their smiling faces almost seemed humane.“ No. ” The woman’s answer startles me.I glance at her and she turns around, a pair of jeans and a woman’s shirt in her hand. I take a long look at the pink shirt in her hands and look up a
VIOLETOur eyes stay fixed at each other. The world seems to have come to a stop.His hands on my body, the feeling of disgust…That’s all I can focus on. He did this to me.Tears well up in my eyes but I try my best to keep them at bay.“ Remove it. ” I choke on my breath and stumble inside the room.Wolf’s eyes fall to my neck where the collar is still locked, restricting me from breathing freely.Wolf doesn’t say anything and silently walks towards me. With each step, it feels like he is carrying the sparks of electricity closer and closer to me.I stumble back on my feet as the fear in me grows uncontrollably.“ Don — Don’t come close. ” I stutter and he halts in his way.I could have removed the collar myself. I could have done it myself then why did I come to him?Why am I here?I take another step back as my gaze drops to hi
VIOLET Guilt hits me at once. I have never felt so pathetic in my life. “ You knew what I was about to do? ” I choke on my breath, a lump getting struck in my throat. I turn back around on my feet and shoot him a hateful glance. “ I was not sure that you were actually going to do this. ” He groans, trying to get the pin of out of his abdomen, but failing to touch it for a long time. I gulp, my heart skips a beat looking at his pain stricken face. What kind of man is he? I heave a heavy breath and walk towards him before kneeling down. Wolf watches me with wary eyes. When I kneel down and my knees soak in his blood, I feel sick to my stomach. “ I was never this cruel. ” I tell him or to myself. I don’t know why. “ It’s okay. Just go to Mellisa. ” He says to me. I lift my gaze to his and stop breathing. He does the same. Time seems to have slowed dow
VIOLETThe expressions of anger wipe off his face pretty fast and it leaves me shocked instead of him this time.We stare at each other, different emotions and thoughts running through our minds. I can see it all in his eyes — the wheels of rationality turning and making him calm down.Without saying a word to me, Elias turns around on his heels and begins to walk away.This leaves me breathless and angry instead of him. Just a moment ago, I thought Elias would be very angry, that he would fight, that he would at least throw a pathetic tantrum but he just…turned around and…left.I don’t know what hurts me more. The fact that he got to know about something like this happening to me or the fact that he just left and didn’t do anything.‘ What can he possibly do? ’ A voice whispers in my mind.I gulp the lump which pops in my throat, making it hard for me to not cry.&ls
VIOLET“ What does this make me? A human who has lost her mind? ” I scoff and look back at the pond.“ Confused. ” She hums after a long time.“ What? ” I question without glancing her way.“ This makes you a young girl who is confused… ” She vocalises.Her words grab my attention and compel me to look at her with interest. She is still not looking at me but her tone is soft and thoughtful while her smile has left her lips.“ …You don’t know what you want. You don’t know who is your ally and who is your enemy. You don’t know who you want to be with and who you want against yourself. You don’t know which way to walk on and who to trust. ” Slowly, she looks at me with a serious look in her eyes.I listen to her while holding my breath.“ You believe what you want to believe Violet…” she heaves a sh
WOLF “ I want to talk to you. ” Violet says and then walks inside my office. ‘ Did any of you say something to her? ’ I growl down the mind—link with my brothers. ‘ No. ’ Only Cassius and Kane reply while Stefan remains silent. ‘ Stefan? ’ I call him out. ‘ No. ’ He groans in frustration. I block the mind—link and pay attention to Violet. I can only guess what she wants to talk about right now. I follow her with my eyes. Violet’s heart is beating fast, her heartbeat thumping in my ears, making me feel guilty all over again. The scent of her fear and nervousness is another bad thing about this situation. Deep down, I never wanted her to fear me, to hate me but it was impossible. She hated me even before knowing me and now she has a valid reason for hating me. When she came here earlier, I knew what she was up to but I allowed her to stab me so she could feel a little better but it turns o

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
