VioletHe paused, then turned slowly, raising a brow as if he was wondering why I was stopping him.My legs moved quickly as I moved in front of him.“I just wanted to say...” I awkwardly looked around, trying to come up with anything. What did I even want to say?“T-Thank you. For, you know, saying I’m worthy of being on the team.”Kylan laughed lightly. “We’re not friends, puppy,” he reminded me. “Don’t get it twisted.”He kept walking, but I wasn’t finished—so I hurried after him. “Well, it was still nice of you. Even if you’re just pretending not to care,” I spoke, frustrated.Kylan smirked beside me. “Enlighten me please, why would I care?”I sucked my teeth, bothered by his change of attitude. “So, what? You’re too cool to be nice to people again?”Kylan glanced at me sideways, his smirk never fading. “Nice isn’t really my thing. You should know that by now, Puppy.”“And here I thought we were bonding?”“Bonding? Let’s not get carried away,” Kylan snorted. “And you still haven’t
VioletI stood awkwardly by the door, glancing around Kylan’s room. Even if I wanted to run away, it was too late now.The big clock above his desk already showed it was fifteen minutes past curfew, so that’s how long I’d been standing there.Fifteen minutes.Kylan went on with his life as if me being in his room past curfew was the most casual thing in the world. It was not surprising, I mean—I’d heard of his reputation and knew for a certain that many girls had been here past curfew.He had taken off his shirt, cleaned his empty water bottles—took a shower.All in those fifteen minutes.“Are your legs broken?” he said as he tossed a towel over a chair. “Do I need to come and carry you—““No!” I spoke a little too fast, looking anywhere but his bare chest. Unfortunately, it was just as wet and shiny as that time I had come to his room to reject him.“I can walk!” I took big steps toward his bed and sat down on the edge. Unsure of what to do with my hands, I placed them in my lap befo
Violet“Mom said it was a favor from an old friend,” I replied, sighing as I thought of her. The one who had always supported me, no matter what.Both her, and Dad.I had always been extra careful with my glasses because I did not have a choice. I had replaced the frames many times, but never the glasses. Lyperian stone was rare and not replaceable now that it no longer existed.The glasses were as important as my life. Without them, I had no control over anything.“How does the stone help you with your problem?” Kylan asked, scooting his body a bit closer.A warm smile crept onto my lips at his genuine interest. He had become even more curious now that he knew the materials came from Lyperia.“It helps block out certain energies. Without it, I get overwhelmed by voices or—” I trailed off again, not wanting to get too deep into it. I had already said too much. The last thing I wanted was to go from Puppy to Freak.Luckily, Kylan didn’t push further. When he noticed I was done speaking
VioletWhere am I?I sat up, rubbing my eyes as I took in the unfamiliar surroundings. Swallowing my throat, I remembered I was in Kylan’s room. The memories from yesterday flooded back, and I snapped my head to the empty space beside me.The same empty space where he had touched me. My cheeks burned, remembering everything from last night. How I laid between his legs, trembling, crying out in pleasure as he touched me like bo one had even done before.Not even I could touch myself like that.Just the memory made my head spin again, and I couldn’t believe it had actually happened. I wasn’t used to this kind of thing—wasn’t used to feeling this way. And the fact that it was Kylan, of all people, made it even more complicated.I was relieved that he wasn’t there. Kylan definitely seemed like the type to wake up early, so it wasn’t a surprise he had left early.Grabbing my phone from the nightstand, I read the time. It was only 6 AM.If I left now, there was a good chance I could slip ou
VioletTrinity leaned in, eyes wide with excitement. "So you were doing all that last night with Kylan—you go girl!"We were sitting at a campus café, and I had just finished telling her everything that happened. From how easily we talked, to the way he touched me, and how he made me cry out in pleasure with barely any effort.Although the situation was embarrassing, I had spilled it all out with ease—and now Trinity was sipping her drink, wiggling her brows at me."What?" I asked, already regretting how much I’d shared.“Nothing,” her eyes glinted. “I just didn’t know you were like that.”"Like what?""Open," she said, lifting her shoulders."Open?"Trinity nodded, looking way too amused. "Yeah, you’re usually all shy and awkward, but the way you described it?“I looked away in frustration, feeling my face flush again. "Well, it’s not like I—""So when are you jumping on top of that?" Trinity cut me off, not caring for any explanation. Her face was dead serious."Trin!" I gasped, al
Violet“Fuck!” My heart jumped, and I immediately searched for something to cover my face with. The menu card in front of me seemed like my only option. My fingertips were already near the edge when I heard a voice call out.“Violet!”It was Nate.Shit.I slowly looked up, the sides of my lips hurting as I forced a smile, and waved back. My eyes flicked to Kylan, who was scanning the room with a frustrated look on his face.Maybe he wasn’t a morning person after all.“Vivi!” Nate cheered again, but only one thought raced through my mind.Don’t come over, don’t come over.Don’t come—I swallowed my throat as Nate began walking in my direction, with Kylan dragging his feet behind him.All flashbacks from yesterday appeared, and I could feel the heat rise to my cheeks. I blinked at Nate who had now stopped in front of me, his smile was warm, as always.“Hey beautiful,” he spoke. “You’re up early.”I chuckled a bit at the nickname as I tried focusing on him instead of Kylan.What was Kyla
Violet“What about him?” Trinity nudged me, pointing to some guys as we walked through the halls, to our next class. “He looks nice.”I shook my head, biting back a laugh. “Nope.”It had been four days.Four days since I had last seen Kylan, and four days since I told her I wanted my first time to be with Nate, and she had flat-out called me crazy. Even after I explained what had happened with Kylan, she was convinced that provoking him, especially by going after his best friend, was asking for trouble. She’d said it wasn’t just him I’d be messing with—it was the beast inside him and Lumia, my own wolf, too.Since then, she’d been pointing out guy after guy, hoping I’d change my mind. But my mind was already set.Kylan had hurt me, and now I wanted to hurt him.If he thought he could control me, like I was just some toy to mess with, pushing my buttons because of the mate bond—he was dead wrong. That clingy virgin speech he gave, like he held some power over me? I was going to take th
VioletNate’s smile faded, and I could almost kill myself. I had come here to ask him another question, and now I had made him uncomfortable. We had promised not to talk about it, and now I had gone and broken that promise. Why did I even bring it up? He tapped the table with his finger, looking down.My hand moved on its own as it went across the table to cover his. He looked up again, staring at me with those brown eyes. Usually they were confident, now they were insecure.“I’m sorry—it’s none of my business,” I whispered, apologizing. “It’s just that I really care about you, and I don’t want you to overdose or die—“What was I even saying?I facepalmed, knowing how insensitive all of this must’ve sounded.“No, not die—fuck!” I slammed my hand over my mouth.Nate gave an amused chuckle, and I quickly pulled back my hand. “Thanks for the nice speech, but I’m doing fine.”Luckily, he could laugh about it—and I forced myself to laugh back to make it less awkward.“So,” I began, lookin
