"Do you really think Arden has a spy here?" Violet asked still in disbelief.

"That's what Jack seems to think from the letter he wrote you. He asked me to look into it." Morgana said.

"And did you find anything?"

"Not yet. But Jack is being extra careful in sharing confidential information to the pack, since it could be anyone."

Violet nodded, still trying to digest that.

"You do know what happens to spies here, right?" Morgana asked with concerned eyes.

Violet shook her head again in confirmation, not wanting to think about that.

She was actually concerned about how in danger she could be. And Jack. Or anyone actually, although she thought that Arden wouldn't kill innocent people to get to her.

He made clear that he wanted her to pay for what she did, so the main targets were her and Jack.

Was Lance really helping him, after all Arden had done to his family? Could he really be so cold-hearted to set a trap to Violet?

"Anyway, I have to go. You should rest more, you look awful. I'll

    Violet's hands were shaking, and she had to calm down before reading the letter.She sat on the bed and her eyes were full of tears as soon as she started going through the words."Hello, Vi.I know you must be thinking that I set a trap for you. I know that's what I was going to think if the situation was reversed.I don't know how, but Arden's people found out about our meeting. Maybe they followed me, I really can't tell.They also discovered where I was hiding. They ambushed me when I was going to see you the other day, and I really don't know how I'm still alive.I was beaten real bad, but they let me live. I'm guessing Arden has other plans for me.I'm hiding somewhere else, and I don't want to put you in danger, but I can't stop thinking if something bad also happened to you.I really hope you're alive and receive this letter.Sorry it took me so long to reach out to you. I was trying to recover. It's hard to do that when you're alone and hidden. There's not much you can do.Bu

    Jack turned to look at her, but Violet couldn't read from his expression what he was thinking.It took him a few seconds to say something."I really don't get what you're thinking sometimes. You almost got killed, and you're planning to meet the man again.""Well, if you let me bring him here, I wouldn't have to leave the safety of the mansion to meet him, would I?" Violet backlashed.Jack seemed to have been slapped in the face."Now you're saying that you being almost beaten to death was my fault?" he asked astonished."That's not what I said." Violet replied. "I'm just saying that we would be risking our lives to a lesser extent if we brought him in instead of us going out." Violet explained.Jack stayed in silent, contemplating what she just said.But he was clearly not willing to give in.Maybe for stubbornness, or even jealousy."Anyway, I just came to share that with you. Didn't want to hide anything from you anymore, but guess I was wrong.""I'm not complaining about that. I ap

    Violet forgot all about her conversation with Jack as soon as she heard what Dave said.She was aware that Gwen could be planning to build the wall again, and that Arden could also be gathering an army to try to come back.But now it felt more real somehow."What evidence do they have to be spreading this?" Jack asked. "Did something different happen?"Dave shrugged his shoulders."I'm not really sure. They said that people from inside the palace are saying that Gwen is talking with some men about how she could build the wall again without causing too much pressure from the people.""Well, that I'd also like to know." Jack ragged."She seemed to be very determined to do it, but the council is trying to persuade her to change her mind. They could face another riot, especially from their own people.""Why would she want to build that again?" Violet asked. "I didn't think she liked that wall at all. Now she wants to raise it again?""Maybe she is working for Arden from inside. We can't kn

    Violet didn't feel like explaining anything to Jack, so she simply said she was tired and would go to bed.They didn't finish their conversation, and she wasn't feeling in the mood to do it after Gwen's call.Then she went to her room and tried to sleep, which was being a very hard thing to do lately.She had nightmares, woke up in the middle of the night thinking that Arden could be near at any moment, and kept thinking about all the possibilities for her future.It didn't help the fact that her relationship with Jack was also shaken, so she couldn't really find comfort in him.All she had was Lucinda, who was always checking on her during her breaks, and Morgana, who always practiced some magic with Violet whenever they felt like it.Violet was bored most of the time, and now she was also nervous to know when Lance would show up again.He had said that he would tell her when they could meet again, and she was actually very excited for that moment.She wanted to share with him her con

    "Lance?" Violet called after a few seconds of pure awkwardness.It was like both of them were frozen, just staring at each other.She had to do something to break that icy moment before she started to laugh.The man seemed to have been woken up from a really deep dream. He blinked a few times realizing what was the situation.And then he looked extremely embarrassed.Just as Lucinda.Violet looked from one to another, feeling that she was at the wrong place. It was really weird to be in the middle of a very intimate moment, even though she could never imagine that something like that would happen."Violet." Lance finally answered, coming closer, but still making sure he didn't make any abrupt movement and was misinterpreted by any of them.Lucinda was still quiet, but Violet realized now that her cheeks were very red.But as soon as she pulled herself together, she came back to her guard posture, making sure to intimidate anyone around with her glance.Lance was looking from Violet to

    Violet cleaned her throat."I did actually. Why?" Lance shook his head."No, nothing. I'm just trying to understand where I'm getting into. Now I see that Jack is not just afraid that I'll betray you all. He's jealous, isn't he?" Violet widened her eyes.Was it that obvious, or Lance was just really good in guessing things?"We can say it's a bit of both." Violet replied."I see… It makes sense. Well, I don't know if you also have that doubt, so I want to make it clear to you. I wished this conversation happened in a different circumstance, but we don't seem to be getting enough opportunities, right?""Anyway…" Lance took a deep breath. "I know we had a very honest conversation when you came back to the palace, where I told you that I wanted to marry you." Violet glanced at Lucinda quickly, feeling a little uncomfortable since she didn't know how the woman was going to react.But Lucinda was extremely professional.She kept her poker face intact the entire time, even though Violet c

    Jack's eyes passed from Violet, to Lucinda and finally stopped on Lance.Violet could feel the atmosphere becoming cold instantly.She didn't know what to do.Jack was obviously infuriated with her, not only for bringing Lance to their territory, but for not telling him about it."Lucinda, take Violet inside." he stated without looking at Violet."Jack, let me explain, please.""Now, Lucinda." he ignored her.Lucinda looked at Violet and said sorry as she touched Violet's shoulder and pulled her forward.But Violet wasn't going to let Lance alone with Jack.Especially not when he was clearly mad."I'm not going anywhere, alright?" she shoved Lucinda's hand from her shoulder. "I told you I was going to meet him again, I'm not doing anything behind your back." she explained, even though no one asked her to.Jack wasn't looking at her yet.He had his sharp eyes fixed on Lance, that was also looking at him expressionless."It's okay, Vi. Just get inside. We'll talk, from man to man." Lance

    As soon as Violet and Lucinda left, Jack felt like he could do anything.He was trying the best he could to ignore the fact that Violet had met that man outside of his own house without telling him about it.How could she?It was true that she had warned him that she would meet Lance again, but he didn't think she was going to be so bold.Of course it was better that the meeting had been closer to him instead of in the middle of the woods. That way, if anything happened, it would be better for him to go after Lance.But when he learned that Violet had left with Lucinda so late at night, he got completely mad.And when his eyes felt upon Lance, Jack was certain that he would do something really bad if Violet wasn't there.But then she asked him to promise not hurt the man, and even though all Jack wanted was to beat his ass, he agreed.Because he couldn't risk to lose her.And when Lance pointed out that was going to happen if Jack did anything to him, Jack felt conflicted.He suggeste

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.

    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.
