After a few seconds in shock, Violet started to laugh.It was the only thing she managed to do. Only the thought of that was ridiculous.Her, a sorceress? "Why are you laughing?" Jack looked annoyed, but showed a soft smile to her anyway."Well, because that was really funny. And also ridiculous. How could I be a sorceress? I don't have those type of powers." "I have a sorceress here in the pack, and we can ask her if the things you felt mean what I said. She went through all the symptoms before she was able to learn how to control her powers."Even though Violet thought the idea was insane and stupid, she nodded anyway. Because Jack seemed very excited with the idea, and she didn't want to be the one to spoil that for him."Okay, although I don't think you are right. But if you really want me to talk to her, I'll do that for you." Jack leaned forward and grabbed her by the neck, pulling her towards him."Great! Thank you for doing me this favor. Although I'm just doing this for you
Jack arrived at his office, and thankfully, he didn't have a busy morning.Some time before lunch, he asked Morgana to come talk to him.A few minutes later, those purple eyes were staring at him, with crossed arms and with an unfriendly expression."Good morning, Morgana. How are you feeling today?" he asked lively, trying to enlighten the atmosphere before coming up with the subject."You know, not very good. But thank you for asking." the woman answered a little impatient.Jack raised his brows."Did something happen?" "No, I just had an argument with Peter and unintentionally made some jars levitate and hit him. Not a big deal though.""Unintentionally, huh?" Jack smiled. "I'm sure he deserved it." That seemed to make Morgana more open to the conversation.She sat on the chair in front of Jack's table and he offered her a glass of wine, after he served some whisky for himself."It's not even noon yet. Why are you offering me wine?" Morgana asked intrigued."Well, I have a proposi
On the next morning, Lucinda told Violet that she didn't need to fulfill her duties as a servant.She said something about Jack going out with some members and arriving late at night.She found it really odd that he didn't say anything on the previous day, but didn't complain.She would have a free day for the first time, although as a prisoner, she didn't have much to do anyway.But she had started painting some canvas and was getting really excited with the results.Also, it would help take her mind out of the fact that she didn't know how to behave in front of Jack while she was working for him.On the previous day, she didn't have much chance to care about that, because with all the party preparations, the whole house was a completely chaos.Violet asked Lucinda to stay with her for a while during the morning, just talking. They laughed a lot, and Violet was very grateful for the friendship she was building with her.It was nice to have someone around that liked her for what she wa
"What the hell are you doing?" Violet yelled as soon as she pulled herself together from the blow and got up.What was Morgana thinking?Did she bring Violet down there to kill her?"Jack asked me to train you. He said something about you being a sorceress. I didn't really believe him." Morgana explained, getting closer to Violet again."And why do you need to hit me? I didn't do anything. It was his idea." Violet said retreating. Her back hit the door again, and she felt cornered."Well, this is my way of training you. If you really are a sorceress, we need to provoke your powers, since you never used them before." Morgana rolled her eyes, like she was stating the obvious."I'm pretty sure you can provoke them with another tactic." Violet said against her teeth. She was doing her best not to fall for Morgana's tricks. She couldn't lose her control again inside Jack's mansion. She wouldn't get a second chance."Yeah, I can. But I prefer this way. He didn't say I needed to use your met
Violet was still looking at her hands in shock.How was she able to toss Morgana away like that? How could Jack be right all the time about her?She had never had any power before. Right?There wasn't any occasion where Violet remembered feeling anything similar to that. How were they able to make her hide that power inside for so long?It took just one night for Jack to notice it. How couldn't she?"How can I be a sorceress?" she murmured.Morgana was now walking around the room, waving her hand here and there to organize the place.After everything was in place again, she stopped and looked at Violet."I really don't know. Since you learned how to suppress it really young, maybe your body understood that this should be kept inside.""How did you learn it? To control it, I mean…" Violet asked curiously. She was really interested now that she knew she was the same thing as Morgana.The woman looked at her like she was considering if she should tell Violet the truth or not.But apparent
"Holy shit, you almost scared me to death! What are you doing here?" Violet complained, squatting down to catch the brush.Jack had his hands inside his pockets and was staring at the moon very focused.Violet stood there, just admiring his image, also calming her heart after the scare he gave her.He seemed tired."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sneak into your bedroom without asking for your permission. But I didn't want anyone seeing me outside trying to get in." he explained without looking at her."It's ok. I don't mind…" she shrugged her shoulders. She sat on the bed, waiting for Jack to finally say what he wanted with her. He didn't even look at her."Can I help you with something?" she asked in a low voice."I'm not sure." he simply answered.Violet frowned."What do you mean?""Well, I think you're the main reason to my problems, so I'm not sure how you could help." "How am I the reason to your problems? What did I do now?" Violet asked on the defensive."You didn't. I'm sorry,
Violet decided to let all her worries behind for a change. She wanted to be with Jack so badly again, that she forgot for a moment about the conversation they were about to have.She didn't know what he meant about reaching a consensus. But maybe it could be a bad thing. Maybe he could decide to end everything, even before it started.Violet wouldn't accept that.She was feeling so hot and missing him so much.In the middle of that very passionate kiss, she grabbed his shirt with one hand and pulled it through his head, tossing it on the floor.She was feeling very powerful and dominant all of a sudden. And the way Jack's body reacted to her moves made her feel even more sexy.His hands were all over the place, squeezing her tights, but being really careful not to touch her arms and ribs.Jack was very caring with her. He didn't want Violet to feel any pain, so he was trying really hard not to put too much strength on his hands and body.With a sudden twist, Violet brought her body to
"I think it will be better for you to train as well. I mean, you wouldn't be able to achieve all your potential if we are inhibiting your powers, right?" Jack asked with a smile.But Violet was still numb from his previous statement.He was going to suspend the drugs. What if she attacked someone again?She didn't trust herself."I don't think that's a good choice." she said abruptly.Jack frowned confused."What do you mean?"Violet got up from the bed and put on her shirt again. She seemed really disturbed."Violet, what's wrong?" Jack sat on the bed worried. "I can't control myself. What if I hurt someone, or even worst, kill someone? I can't do it!" she yelled troubled.Jack put on his boxers again and came towards her, hugging her right after."You're going to be fine. That's the whole point why Morgana will train you." It felt good to be comforted by him, but Violet was extremely worried."Come on. Let's go to bed. You need to study tomorrow and I need to leave really early." h
It was their fourth trip to celebrate their wedding anniversary, and Jack had decided to spend it in a place with snow that year.He also wanted to show Violet and the kids something called Aurora Borealis, something that she had never heard of, but Jack said they'd love it.It was one of the most incredible things he had seen with his father as a child, and he wanted to show it to her and the children.Charles was four years now, and they had one little girl who was about to turn two called Adele. Every year, they would go in an adventure to celebrate their wedding anniversary, and Jack was very committed in fulfilling his promise to take Violet to know the world.And she was more than happy to do it with their family. Charles was the apple of her eye, while Adele was a true daddy's girl.Their family was much more than she could've ever asked for.They had chosen Lucinda and Lance to be the godparents of Charles. They were also married now and had a little girl called Louise, to who
The news about the wedding had spread like fire in wood.Morgana made sure to put everyone to help with the preparations, from decoration to food, so the Rebels' members were pretty busy.Violet didn't imagine that organizing a wedding would be so nerve-wracking, and she was feeling sick most of the time.Morgana had accepted to be her bridesmaid, alongside Lucinda, of course. Jack asked Lance to be one of his best men as well, which surprised Violet's brother as much as herself.Lucinda and Lance had finally started a relationship, and Lucinda was splitting her time between the Diamond Pack and the Rebels, which made Violet really happy.Her friend had arranged the perfect wedding dress for Violet, one that she loved more than anything.She couldn't wait to put that on and dance the whole night feeling like a princess out of a fairy tale, because that's how she was feeling.Everything was good. Violet was finally feeling happy.Jack, on the other hand, looked extremely anxious as the
Violet decided to go back to the mansion, since Lance had too much to do in the Diamond Pack, and she wouldn't be any helpful to him. She also didn't wait for Lucinda, since she had no idea how long their conversation would last.But deep down, she was dying to know every detail from it.Right after leaving the palace, she noticed how the members of the Diamond Pack seemed much happier and satisfied by the outcome of their fight.A lot of them reached out to her and Jack on the way out, to thank them for doing what they did.She didn't know how to react to that, since she didn't feel like she deserved all that credit. It was true that she had helped all that take place in the first place, but for her it felt kind of an obligation to do the right thing.Violet also saw the walls being destroyed by the guards of the Diamond Pack and a lot of volunteers.She finally felt at peace, knowing that she'd probably never see those bricks being put their again.Lance was the best decision for th
Violet wasn't sure if she had listened correctly."Exiled?" she repeated.Lance nodded, but asked her and Jack to follow him to an empty room next to his office."I didn't want anyone to listen to this yet. I still didn't make the official announcement to the pack. I also need to go throw the coronation ceremony first, so…" Lance started closing the door. "I talked to the council and they wanted Gwen to rot in jail. Some of them even wanted her to be killed for her treason, since she teamed up and even colluded with a fugitive." Violet felt a shivering in her spine."But I suggested that she would be exiled from the Crescent instead, as a form of punishment for what she did. I tried to use the argument that she might had felt coerced to do all of that since Arden was her father, and she was never prepared to be an Alpha after all.""And they accepted just like that?" Violet asked."Of course not. It took me a while to convince them that she doesn't offer us any threat. They agreed to
"They did what?" Violet asked feeling excited and sad at the same time.She was extremely proud and happy for him, after all, it was something Lance was expecting since he was young.It was also the best option for the Diamond Pack to be finally the pack it deserved. Violet was more than sure that Lance would be an amazing leader, without such things as walls, war for power, and forbidding laws in his government.But at the same time, she knew that it could only mean one thing."So, you're coming back to live here, right? You won't stay with us at the mansion anymore." Violet felt Jack's hand grabbing hers as a sign of comforting.She suddenly felt a lump on her throat."I don't know. I… I'm not thinking clearly at the moment, so… I asked them to give an answer tomorrow. I think we should all rest a bit after tonight, right?" Lance answered.She let go of Jack's hand and crossed the hall, eager to give Lance a hug.Wrapping her arms around his neck, Violet gave him an embrace full of
It took Violet a while to make sense of everything that had happened.When she finally realized that Arden wasn't alive anymore, she took a deep breath and put her hand in the part of her head that had been hit.A lot of blood was coming out of it, but she didn't care.Lance looked extremely hopeless after finishing his mission, and even though Violet knew he wanted to take revenge on the man, Lance wasn't a violent person.So he should be going through an internal conflict for sure.But it was Gwen who was catching their full attention now.The woman had ran to her father's body and collapsed on top it, crying and screaming compulsively.Violet felt really bad for her, but at the same time, a low voice inside her head kept saying that Gwen was now experiencing the same thing that she and Lance had experienced when they were just kids.She didn't want to sound cold and insensitive by saying that, so she kept the thought to herself.Lance came by Violet's side as they both kept staring
Violet could feel her legs trembling and her hands sweating like she was about to get hanged.Seeing how tense she was, Lance grabbed her hand and pulled her in the direction of that door.It was like the hallway had extended to twice its size.As much as they walked forward, they never seemed to reach their destination.That was a terrible idea, Violet then realized.What if Arden wasn't there?Or even worse, what if he was?What would they do? What would they say to him?Would Lance let the man even speak before killing him?Did she want him to say anything though?For months, she hoped not to see Arden's face never again. She wanted to turn that page, forget he was ever a part of her life.But they would never be in peace with Arden at loose, threatening her and her loved ones, and making the Diamond Pack a terrible place to live.They had to put an end to it.With the other hand, Lance reached the doorknob and twisted it, pulling the door forward.Violet thought she would see Arden
Violet noticed that the palace was invaded as quicker as a tsunami wiping away everything ahead.One minute they were entering it alone, and on the next, a lot of the members that went with them were inside the building, making sure the guards didn't stop the three of them.Violet saw Lucinda fighting two men at once, Mark and Fiona putting some wood to lock the door, and Dave helping to take someone out of Lance's way.She didn't know what to do. She was supposed to follow Lance to the hidden room, but suddenly the main lobby of the palace was crowded and full of people and wolves fighting.Violet made one woman that tried to hit her levitate and tossed her on the other side of the room with a bump against the wall.Lance also got involved in an one-on-one battle with someone Violet didn't recognize, but something caught her attention at that same moment.Jack was being attacked by three men and two wolves. He was surrounded by them. Somehow he managed to distance himself from her an
Violet saw the days pass with Jack contacting a lot of the Rebels' allies and telling them about his plan.Violet was barely sleeping with the anticipation for their attack, and she was also waiting for something bad to happen in between, since Arden's threat.The construction of the walls of the Diamond Pack were going strong, and she worried that it would be already done once they left for the mission, which was only going to make things harder for them.She tried to distract herself by talking nonsense with Lucinda and also going for a jog in the mornings, but nothing seemed to take the imminent fight from her mind.She and Jack were finally well, although she barely had time to be with him alone. He was always working and making sure everything was okay for the battle, so she tried to commit with helping him as much as she could.Lance was also doing great in the Rebels.Everyone seemed to love him. Even Jack was having a great bond with him, something that Violet made sure to teas
