VIOLET
The atmosphere is tense during the dinner. All species sitting on the same table, taunting each other occasionally and also planning their next moves is a rare sight for sure.
“ So…what’s your role in all this? ” The Elf Queen Marissa inquires from me, her tone mocking and filled with malice.
I wonder if these supernaturals don’t know how to talk politely.
I gulp the bite of rice in my mouth and drag my eyes in her direction.
“ Do you know about the prophecy? ” I question, placing the spoon down into my plate.
Yes, I know all about the prophecy already.
The Elf Queen inhales and everyone in the dining room gives her the attention she requires.
“ So we are simply depending on a prophecy and letting you participate in all this? ” She smirks and picks her wine glass, bringing it to her lips.
My throat goes dry. My eyes burn and the sarcastic rema
VIOLETI walk out of the dining room and go straight to the balcony that became a little common spot Wolf and I visited almost everyday.I hoped to find him here but instead, I find Viktor.He is standing close to the railing, his hands holding onto it tightly.I turn around as soon as I see his back, ready to disappear before he sees me here.“ You are going to do this now? ” Viktor scoffs.The hair of my neck rise on their ends. I take in a sharp breath and turn back around.Viktor’s back is still facing me. His tensed posture doesn’t go unnoticed by me.“ You deserved what I did to you. It was a reminder to never pull that kind of shit on me again. ” I march forward, coming to a stop beside Viktor.I grab the railing between my hands just like Viktor and lean a little forward. The fairies are flying around, giving the impression of being fireflies like before.
VIOLETWhen I gave in to the urge and finally kissed him, he grabbed my waist tighter and pulled me impossibly closer. He devoured my lips, igniting a desire I never knew existed in my body.Heat creeps up my body as his lips suck on mine, his tongue darting out once now and then to caress my lips tantalisingly.It feels like fire is moulding my insides. I kiss him and overcome all fears and doubts about the future.It doesn’t take me long to run out of breath. I pull back and he allows me to do so. My ragged breaths hit his face as my chest rises and falls in a disrupted rhythm.“ I didn’t say yes— ” I choke on my breath but he doesn’t let me finish.Wolf’s lips land on mine again. This time with a great burning intensity which knocks the rest of the breath out of me.I remove my hands from his chest and wrap them around his neck, the touch of his skin making sparks of electr
WOLFBlood drips down my body, the large ground filled with lifeless bodies in front of me.Fire burns at one side and the blood of those dead humans flows to me, slowly and hauntingly.My heart pounds in my ears and I don’t feel anything looking at the horrendous sight. My body is still burning with the effect of the darkness that Katrina has forced into my body.The scene shifts and I find myself standing in front of my father, begging him to forgive Cassius’ mate.“ Banish her. Or ask Cassius to reject her. It will be even more worse. Don’t kill her father. ” It’s the first time I have actually felt like I have a heart which still beats and feels things I am not supposed to feel.“ A general begging for the life of a traitor. Can you drop any lower than this son? ” My father sne
VIOLETThe stupid smile stays plastered over my lips when I make my way to the dining room to have breakfast with the rest of the supernaturals who are leaving today.I still don’t know how these vampires measure time here but it’s not even necessary anymore. I am happy going with the flow.“ You look weird today. ” Kane groans, appearing beside me after hurriedly stepping down from the stairs.I look at his face which is in better condition and sigh. “ You knew too, didn’t you? ”Kane hums and doesn’t say anything. This gives me a hint that Stefan must have told Kane about what I asked him yesterday.I am sure Stefan mind—linked Wolf earlier and told him about it. That’s why he was acting like a jerk.Too bad. I couldn’t have more fun with Wolf.“ I don’t know if it’s for good or
VIOLETI teleport back to Vladania and find myself sitting on the same seat.“ VIOLET. ” Kane gasps and hurries towards me.I inhale deeply and look at everyone in the room. They all seem to be engaged in a heated argument but just as they see me, they stop talking.“ Where did you go? ” Wolf, who was standing on the other side of the table near Luther, rounds the table and approaches me.“ We were worried sick. How can you just disappear like this? ” Viktor hisses, making me look at him.I gulp, not saying anything. I am still in shock.Wolf places his hands over my shoulder, sparks beginning to claim my body and making me relax.“ We need to talk. ” I tell Wolf while looking at Viktor.If all these people get to know about what’s happening back there at the pack Wolf controls, they might back off thinking we are weak and can’t be trusted.
VIOLETI sigh. I can’t let them talk to Gysla or they will know. Besides, I have a better idea using which I can teleport everyone at the same time.It’s another one of the things Gysla has taught me about the portals that I am going to practice today for the first time.“ I am going to teleport the whole city at the same time. ” I disclose, pulling my hand out of Wolf’s hand.“ Wow. You are going big. ” Stefan mutters, definitely not liking the idea.I throw my head back and look at the sky. The sun is still not completely over my head.“ We don’t have much time. ” I assert, looking down.If Katrina knows about everything, she will be here sooner than I anticipate.“ Tell me about the pack which can accommodate all these people. ” I turn to Wolf and ask him.Wolf takes a deep breath a
WOLFIf only I hadn’t tried to believe her and had believed what my senses were telling me.She was clearly lying when she said she was keeping no secrets from me.But, now the time has passed and we are in a huge problem once again.Still, nothing is as scary as seeing Violet unconscious, bleeding from her eyes.“ Caught you! ” Katrina appears out of thin air and the portal begins to form behind her.She is still at some distance. I look behind me, at the wall and sigh.Violet must have done something against the rules of the Orphena…That’s why the spirits are not allowing her in.Kane, Cassius and Stefan move forward and cover Violet’s unconscious figure in my arms with their bodies.I lay her down on the ground carefully and glance at her nose. Her nose and mouth is starting to bleed like her eyes.My blood is running cold in my veins, fear gripping my heart
KANE It’s surreal. I thought everything was getting better and better day by day. Violet was learning a lot of things and her relationship with Wolf took a drastic turn. She accepted being his mate and she was even happy about it. Everything was on the right fucking track right?But now, she is gone. Wow. Two days have passed. Two whole fucking days. And she is still unconscious. She wakes up in intervals. Opens her eyes, stares at the ceiling, doesn’t respond and then falls unconscious again. It’s like we all are sitting on a seat of thorns, unable to understand what to do to wake her up. “ He is not helping this situation. ” Stefan grunts, raking his hands through his hair. “ For how long is he planning on sitting on the same spot? He will fall sick himself and then we will have two problems to deal with. ” Cassius joins in. We three are sitting in th
Dear Lovely Readers! After some four months, this book is finally complete. I know it wouldn't have been possible for me to finish the book if it hadn't been for all the support that I got from you all! So, I wanted to say Thank you! You all made writing this book possible. Now, what am I doing after this book? A general question. I am writing a new story by the name "Alpha's Claimed Mate". 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
