last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56
The day of the party had finally arrived.

Violet could barely sleep during the night overthinking about her plan.

What would she say if she got caught inside the office?

What if she failed? When would she have another opportunity like that?

The palace was at full throttle with the last preparations for the party.

Violet woke up and went outside to catch some fresh air.

The weather was pretty nice and everyone looked really excited.

That was always the case when Arden threw a party.

Violet thought she probably was the only one not happy about it.

"Hey, Vi!" a delicate voice called her from somewhere. "Over here."

Violet turned to look and saw Gwen coming at her direction.

She had her hands full with something that Violet couldn't recognize.

"What is that?"

"Our dresses. I just got them from the store. Come on, let's try this on you." the girl said grabbing Violet's hand and pulling her upstairs.

She spent the whole afternoon with Gwen, trying their clothes, doing make up and their h

    "Of course." she murmured frustrated and mad.She should have thought about that.Arden would never leave his office opened.What would she do now?Her mind was spinning and her heart was pounding so hard that her chest was hurting."Come on, Violet, think. Think!" she hit her head a few times trying to concentrate.And then she thought of something.But she didn't know if it would work.The door was made of wood, but the lock was made of steel. Since Violet had the power of the earth element, would she also be able to control steel?After all, it was composed by natural elements. It should work, but she had never tried that on her training sessions before.She closed her eyes trying to focus and then she heard a low click that indicated that the door was opened.Violet exhaled, realizing that she had been holding her breath the whole time.She entered the office and locked it again from inside using her powers again.Where to start?She ran towards Arden's table and opened the drawers

    Violet paralyzed.She couldn't think about what to do with that information.But she had to leave that office immediately, otherwise Arden could come in and see her with all those papers in her hand.With her eyes full of tears, Violet grabbed what she thought it would be useful and put the boxes and files back on the cabinet.She locked it and put the key behind the painting again and left the office, without being able to think about what to do next.She couldn't stay in the palace anymore. She couldn't even imagine how she would face Arden after that discovery.Her heart was full of sadness but also anger. All the years she had spent under Arden's wings, all the time she had been grateful for him adopting her, now it was just trash.Because he had been responsible for her not having her parents by her side. He had been responsible for her being an orphan. And also Lance.He shouldn't be aware of that either. Even though his parents had died when he was older than Violet was when he

    She didn't answer. She didn't know what to say. She was pretty convinced that she had escaped unnoticed.How did Lance find her?"What are you doing here?" she asked trying to get more time."I should be the one asking you this, don't you think?" he asked taking a few more steps forward. "What's inside your bag?" he pointed at her arms.She automatically clenched it against her chest."Nothing." Lance smiled."Come on, Violet. I know you, and you are not the best liar, you know that." She gulped."Lance, please, just trust me on this one, okay? I promise you I know what I'm doing." she begged looking inside his eyes.After all, they had a brother and sister connection. They always had. And even though his feelings towards her were something different, she knew he cared about her."What do you mean? What is going on, Violet?" he frowned. "Arden didn't mention you having to do anything else regarding that mission, so why are you here?""Arden doesn't know I'm here. That's why I'm aski

    "There she is!" the guard yelled at the others pointing at her.Violet didn't know who to look at first. Lance was closer to her than the others, but she couldn't manage to fight all of them by herself.Without time to think, she concentrated and tried to create a shield around her, but she wasn't strong or focused enough.She was too afraid to fight those men alone.But she had to protect the bag first. With that in mind, she levitated the bag and tossed it away over the wall, praying that it was protected on the other side."Go grab that bag, now!" one of the guards yelled.She hadn't seem before, but it was Phillip, the captain of the guards of the Diamond Pack; the responsible for killing Lance's parents alongside Arden.But the men that received his order seemed a little nervous, staring at him trying to confirm what they had heard."Sir, the bag is outside of the walls. If we go there without a good reason, there might be a retaliation in the future." one of the men said."I don

    Violet could feel her senses coming back as she opened her eyes.It took a few minutes to understand where she was.The place wasn't very comfortable and had a strong smell of ether.The lights on the ceiling were too strong and she had to adjust her sight to it.Blinking a few times, Violet tried to sit on whatever she was laid on, but her whole body was sore."I can see you're finally awake!" she heard a voice coming from her side.When she turned her head in that direction, Violet got really surprised, because she did not expect to see the woman in front of her."Morgana?" she asked, still confused.She gave her a timid smile in return."Where am I?" Violet asked looking around.It looked a lot like a ward."It's a sort of hospital at the mansion. It isn't that big, but it serves us well." she answered."What happened?" Violet wanted to know. She could just remember feeling an awful pain and blacking out. "Where's Jack?" "Well, he went to his room to take a shower. He's been stayin

    "What do you mean what I want to do about it?" she asked intrigued. "Don't you have a plan?""Yes, I do. But I wanted your opinion first. He's your father after all, and as much as I want to destroy him, I wouldn't do anything to hurt you." Jack said with kind eyes.Violet just wanted it all to be over so she could be with him without having to worry about anything else."I really appreciate that. I didn't really have any idea about it though. I just saw the documents and came running." Just then, she remembered the pain she felt when she saw those files. She didn't have time to digest everything, not even suffer because of that.Her eyes were burning as tears started to appear.She did not want to cry, but it was too much for her to keep it inside. "Come on, baby. You don't need to pretend you're not hurt. Just cry all you want. I'm here." Jack said sitting on her bed and wrapping her in a hug.Violet leaned her head against his chest, unable to say anything. And she finally let all

    On the next day, Violet was feeling much better, although still very sad.But just the fact that she was back at Jack's mansion made her feel more light and at peace.The whole place was a chaos because they were working on spreading the files to all newspapers across the continent. She knew the next days would be crazy, but she did not expect it to be that much.She wanted to do something, but there was nothing she could do anymore.Now it was up to the release of the news, and then wait.Wait for the outcome, wait to see how the werewolves across the Crescent would react to that.She was still feeling weird about what she had discovered, and didn't know what to think or feel.All the good times she had lived with Arden and the little family they had came back to her mind in moments she didn't want to think about it.Especially now that she was trying so hard to forget what he did."Hey, baby. How are you feeling?" Jack asked as she entered his office.The whole place was a mess.The

    Jack and Lucinda looked at her incredulous."What did you say?" Lucinda asked her.But Violet had her eyes on Jack. And he didn't seem very happy with her statement."Of course you're not." he replied.Violet straightened her back and cleaned her throat before answering him."Yes, I am. I'm also responsible for this, and I want to see what's going on inside the palace.""Violet, you know things can get really bad there. Someone you care about can get hurt or even die. Are you sure you want to witness that? I think you should stay here."Those words almost convinced her, but she had made up her mind.She wanted to see with her own eyes how the members from the Diamond Pack were dealing with everything.Would they also believe those papers and stand against Arden?She wanted to believe that was the case.But she also wanted to see Gwen. The case about Lance was that she didn't know if she wanted to see him yet. He had attacked her when she was trying to escape, and Violet didn't know ho

    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 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

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.
