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
For the first time in days, Violet was finally able to leave the mansion.It was amazing to feel the early breeze hitting her face, smell the fresh air, see the nature and people living their lives on the streets.She hadn't seem Jack again after their night together. Which was good, because she still hadn't figured out what she would do if Arden showed up in front of her to rescue her from Jack's possession.She decided not to think about that until it was absolutely inevitable.Morgana took a detour to get to the woods with more privacy, which was why Violet didn't see too much of the civilization.They were getting deeper into the forest, but it was still visible to see the sky and the sun high up in the sky.They didn't say a word during the way, and Violet wondered if it was a bad choice to confront Morgana earlier.But she was tired of being wronged. She was tired of everyone looking at her like she was a serial killer.If they knew she had already slept with Jack twice, they wou
"Wait! What?" Violet asked, but Morgana was already gone.What the hell was that?Violet was left alone outside for the first time since she was caught and made a prisoner.What did that mean?Was Morgana testing her somehow? What should she do?Thousands of thoughts came rushing inside her mind. Violet squatted down and grabbed her head, trying to calm herself.She was having an anxiety crisis. She didn't know what to do.Should she take the chance to escape and go back home? Did she want to go back?But what about Jack? She couldn't leave him now, could she?Could she be happy without him?They had agreed to trust each other. If she tried to escape and was caught in the process, Jack would never trust her again.Never.Did she want to risk that? Could she be free at home? Could she be happy there, under Arden's supervision?Suddenly, a noisy from something breaking took Violet back to reality.She widened her eyes startled, trying to comprehend what was happening.Was Morgana back?S
Violet didn't know what to do. Why was Morgana back without her? Why did she leave her in the woods alone and was talking to Jack?Did she tell him she had escaped?What was happening? Jack looked infuriated."Jack?" Violet whispered, showing up at the end of the hallway.The man was looking up, trying to stay calm, and looked in her direction immediately after hearing her call.His eyes widened as if she was a ghost or something."What…" he couldn't even pronounce the words. He was shocked. But why?"What is going on?" Violet asked coming near him cautiously.But then something seemed to hit him and the angry eyes came back.He frowned and walked towards Violet.He grabbed her by the arm and started pulling her, using an unnecessary strength."Jack, what are you doing?" she asked as she tried to pull her arm back, but it was useless.Jack seemed blind with rage.Violet realized where he was taking her by the paths they were going through.Was he going to trap her inside her room ag
Violet was crying and sobbing for so long that she lost track of time.Her life was over. She lost the chance to escape and she had lost Jack as well.She would never agree to train with Morgana again, so recognizing and improving her powers was also out of the table.What did she have left?She was going to live an unhappy life, without powers, without the man she loved, without freedom. Because it was pretty clear to her that whenever she went - home with the Diamond Pack or a prisoner at Jack's mansion - her thoughts and desires would never be taken into consideration.But what was hurting her heart the most was Jack. She couldn't stop thinking about him, about how he looked at her with sadness and anger on his eyes.She knew it would be hard to trust each other, especially because he had even more reasons to doubt her. She was the one that tried to kill him after all.He had never done anything like that to her. In fact, he only repaid her with kindness and tolerance.Was she ask
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
