VIOLET
“ And how did you do this? Like I saw just now, they can not fight against their leaders. ” I frown and my eyes drop to his clothed chest.
“ You might not believe it…but many of the werewolves hated what my father was doing. As I told you before…Our emotions — when they get too strong — they start to control our actions. ” He starts in a serious tone. “ they hated me and my brother too but I convinced them…they knew they needed an Alpha, someone who could fight against the King. They pledged their loyalty to me when they realised I wanted to change things…That I wanted to fix what my father and I and the rest of the werwolves have ruined. ”
The stone over my heart slips a little down and allows me to see the slight goodness in Wolf. Although I don’t want to acknowledge it, but he has tried.
I nod my hea
VIOLETI come back to my room and this time, Wolf doesn’t follow me. He can sense emotions right? Then, he must have sensed I was embarrassed and angry at myself so he made a good choice by staying behind and letting me walk away.As I close the door to my room, the heavy weight of all the revelations and of all the burdens comes crashing down on me. It hits me hard and I slump down on the bed.I just went from not knowing who I was and what I was…then to knowing that everything in my life — everything small and everything huge was an absolute lie.It’s gut wrenching. Of course.But, it feels like something has been freed inside me. I finally feel a little familiar with myself.Although, I am not sure what I want to do with these powers. As Wolf said, an Orpheuns had the power to kill the greatest of werewolves — a king then doesn’t it mean
VIOLET“ THAT…I will tell you later… ” Gysla picks up the fork and goes back to eating her food in silence.Cora snaps out of the daze and continues to eat like nothing happened and as if she was not sitting still like a statue just now.I glance at everyone, one — by — one.Then, I look at Wolf who is glaring at the table, his eyes lost in some deep thoughts. The silence is heavy in the room and no one is actually addressing it.Suppressing the unanswered questions, I pick up my fork and begin to eat the fried egg that Elias placed in my plate only God knows when.*****When we are done eating, everyone gets up and leaves but I stay seated and think about Gysla’s words. The images, the reflections, the voices…they are all evil? Did she mean this?I am glad the reflection which continued to repeat that it was in fact me, was not me. The girl in the mirror must be
VIOLET“ Okay. You already knew that, didn’t you? Then why are you worrying about it now? ” I step inside the office and slowly walk to the table.“ You are right. I thought we will still have a lot of time even after you turned eighteen but now I am realising that we can’t wait until you learn to master all your abilities. ” Wolf sighs and looks away.I take a seat on the chair in front of Wolf and relax back a little.“ Something must have happened to make you think of all this so sudden. ” I voice out my thoughts, not wavering from the original question.It’s scary to me that I can now easily talk to him and I can force myself to push all the memories at the back of my mind so they never resurface and interfere with these peace—making path we are walking down.“ Just like this pack…” Wolf starts and looks me straight in the eye. “ I had m
VIOLETI look at Wolf for a while, my eyes fixed at his.“ What relationship did you have with Katrina? ” I can’t help but ask the question which was struck in my mind for a while.Wolf’s eyes harden. I might have crossed the line.I nod my head to myself and get up from the chair. “ I understand. It’s one of the things you don’t want to talk about. ”“ Yes. ” Wolf is quick to reply.I feel disappointed. It won’t be wrong to say that I still expected him to prove me wrong and tell me about this too like the many things he had revealed to me.“ What is your plan exactly? ” I lift my head and my eyes collide with his again.A moment of silence passes between us. I watch him thinking the question through.“ Once you master all your skills, I will
VIOLETI wait for Cassius. Time seems to have slowed down. The eerie noises of the frightening, dark forest cause my hair to rise on their ends many times, but I continue waiting for Cassius to come and take me back to the town.But as more time passes and the forest begins to seem more terrifying, I start to lose the hope that he is returning any time sooner.Still, I wait for him, my knees pulled to my chest, my arms wrapped around my knees as I scan the surroundings.To my surprise, my vision has cleared a bit and I can now make out most of the things around me. Perhaps, my eyes adjusted to the darkness after spending too much time here.I inhale deeply and place my chin over my left knee.‘ He is not going to come back. ’ The male voice whispers in my head for the uncountable time.The spirit’s voice has been saying the same thing to me from the time Cassius has left me behind. This voice is the
VIOLETA loud growl makes my eyes snap open. My heart jumps in my throat and I jolt up.Goosebumps rise all over my skin when I scan the surroundings with scared eyes.Another growl pierces the air, making my heart tremble in my chest.Is it Cassius? Or someone else? But did they have to take their wolf form?I gulp and try to calm my rapidly beating heart by placing my hand over my chest.Slowly, I get up from the hard ground and look around me to find out where the wolf is. Everything seems dark once again. It’s hard for me to make out everything.I hear the twigs breaking from behind me and instantly turn around to see what’s there.I can make out the silhouette of the animal stalking towards me. I breath deeply.It must be someone from the pack.A voice snickers in my mind all of a sudden, confusing me.“ Are you…” Is it stupid of me to try to talk t
VIOLETNothing happened as I expected — which is quite normal and doesn’t even surprise me anymore.I wake up when the rays of bright sun heat up my face, making me feel like I am being barbecued.I am in hell.My whole body is burning up, my eyes feel heavy just like my head. I try to open my eyes, but the dried blood is acting like glue and it’s nearly impossible to see anything.I lift my right hand and touch my cheek. It’s double the normal size which means it’s swollen.I bring down my hand and close my eyes again. All my movement ceases like I am a robot instead of a — I don’t know what to call myself. Not human, not witch, not werewolf, not a mere Oracle.Let’s just say I am somewhere in between all of them. Period.
VIOLETI am back in the same place — The darkness spread all across me. I am sitting on what feels to be a hard and cold floor.For the first time, I see a door in front of me. It’s white and Golden and it stands out in the surrounding darkness.Although I see the door, I still can not move from my spot.The eery silence fills my figure, making me sigh to myself.It’s a dream — a nightmare. I know, but it always feels too real to be just a nightmare.From my right side, I see a figure dressed in white gown floating toward me. She is far from me, but I know she is my Mom.She floats closer to me and sits down beside me in silence. I turn to look at her and see her lips move, words forming and falling but never reaching my ears.I hardly ever hear anything in this dream. I can only ever feel and see. And right now, it hurts to see her.

You all can check it out here on the app if you want to read more stories from me! Thanks again! Love you all ❤️ ~S.Y
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
