Thank you for reading until this point.
VIOLETTE.“Why don’t you find out for yourself?”Noah’s jaw dropped, and my smirk got wider and wider. I lasciviously moved my body, rubbing myself against his hand,seeking my own release. I felt the heat inside me growing with each caress. With every movement, I grew more and more aroused until I was shaking with need.His free hand gripped my waist hard, stopping me from achieving my release. His eyes fluttered open with difficulty, then said, “Do you know what you are doing, my dear?”“Hmm.”“Words.”“Can you shut up and let me do what I want?”A certificated insane woman, that’s me. Lust had made me step this far. I couldn’t deny myself pleasure anymore. I desperately needed it, and he was the only one who could give me. Noah. My mate.He cupped my chin, forcing me to stay focused on him. Unfortunately, my mind was long gone. So I leaned in and licked the seam of his lips.“Look at me, my dear.”Ignoring his words, I grew wilder by biting his lips, making them bleed. I was too eng
VIOLETTE. With eyes lowered down, I trailed behind Noah. Tonight was the celebration for him. At least, that was what the King said. The ballroom wasn’t decorated as grandly as the King’s coronation anniversary. It still appeared to be beautiful, nevertheless. Nobles had already packed the room. They giggled, gossiped, sipped their wine, and gave us a side-eye. Busy judging Noah for bringing me, his slave, to his celebration. “Always stay with me, Violette.” Noah reminded me as we stopped at the center of the room. From here, I could notice several guests. Flora stood near the King’s position with an old man; she linked her arm to the man. That’s probably Lord Barlow. Killian was also among the crowds, but I couldn’t spot Kasha. “The King and his Luna have arrived.” Someone announced at the same time with the sturdy door being opened, showing Nash, Olivia, Herta, and the woman I hadn’t known. I waited for them to announce Noah’s stepmother—Godivia, but no one followed them. So I
VIOLETTE. TW: This chapter contains depictions of sexual assault and might harm the reader mentally. Absentmindedly, I followed the woman. We didn’t walk for longer. She stopped in front of a wooden door. The woman pulled the knob and then stepped backward, letting me inside first. And I, without complaining, entered. “Please wait for the King. He will be here soon.” I nodded, taking a seat on a long seat next to the door. Considering this was a meeting with Nash, I was surprised he chose a rusty place. The room was filled with dust, no ventilation to help clean the air in. Even the chair I used creaked each time I moved. “I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening, Ms. Daley.” The woman said and closed the door. Leaning on the table, I crossed my legs, thinking about what Nash wanted to talk about. If he wanted, he could ask Olivia to talk with me. But he sent someone
KILLIAN.Following Violette was never my intention. I had things to do better than walking like a creep behind two women. But I couldn’t help myself. Ever since I smelt her distinct scent, my curiosity spiked up. And, mind you, it rarely happened.The dance I offered was one of my ways to satiate my curiosity. Nash never made me do that. He thought I was genuinely interested in fucking her. The last question I gave was bait, but who thought that she would take it?Despite my instinct telling me she was a witch, I didn’t have proof yet. I needed it before I weighed my choice to tell Nash everything or not.It baffled me that Violette would go around without Noah. She should have known that siding with Noah would always bring her danger, which meant she should be careful with her surroundings. Yet, here she was, getting dragged without putting up a fight.When they stopped, I hid behind an eno
NOAH.“Is everything clear?” I asked Varg, who had just arrived in the garden.We met in my garden after I assigned him cleaning the mess up. Sweat was still visible on his temple and neck, his breathing was still haggard, and I didn’t even let him speak before asking my question.“All clear. Give me water, won’t you?”“Take it.”Varg sat opposite me, then gulped the water I had prepared for him.“What exactly happened? You can’t just ask me to clean your mess without telling me anything. I’ll need something to make up if someone finds out about tonight.”“Violette killed Wilfred Baxter.”Varg spat the water, then coughed until his face turned red. “What the fuck?” He said while rubbing his chest in a circular motion.“I don’t know the full story yet, bu
VIOLETTE.Noah walked before me. His expression had turned sour the moment I ran away after telling him my secret. He had asked me to explain, but I refused strongly. And since he was a self-claimed gentleman, he didn’t force me to spill everything.He told me he’d take me to the market today, and we’d meet with someone who would look for my mother. Ever since then, my mood had climbed uphill. I didn’t forget about last night, but I could shove it at the back of my mind with the excitement to search for my mother.“We have to stop at the Barlows before going to the market. You’ll be okay, right?”“Of course,” I replied. As I said, my mood was too good. Nothing could ruin it today, not even Flora Barlow.“Wear this.” Noah hurled a red-colored cloak at me, and I immediately put it on my body.“Thanks.”&ldq
VIOLETTE.My hand felt empty after Noah let go of me. He was busy hugging the young woman. Something burned in my chest, making me want to maul at that woman to free Noah from her hug. Averting my gaze to look at my feet, I tried to put my focus elsewhere. Anywhere besides their warm interaction.They were an old acquaintance. I was sure of it. They seemed to miss each other. Sometimes I forget we used to have two different lives from each other. He had a whole life with these people, while I also tried to live on human land.Here, in this land, he would meet with many of his friends, but I had none except him. That made me depend on him too much. All this time, he put his attention on me but seeing him share it with another woman, my heart became uneasy.Flora Barlow was a different case because Noah clearly didn’t have a thing for her. However, the young woman he hugged was totally different. They cared fo
NOAH.No customer packed The Corner Side since I had ordered Varg to let them know about my visit. Usually, this place was an escape from reality. A place to get drunk and lost in dreams. I had bought this place when my father began showing a sign of weakness, just in case Nash wanted to play dirty to get the throne.Good to know that the pieces of gold didn’t come to waste. My people used it as their hideout while I was missing. On the outside, The Corner Side was just a small business, but to us, this was a place where history would be made.Marshall and Dahlia opened the door to the underground, and we descended without words. My heart was beating so hard because it had been so long since I appeared before their eyes. I kept wondering what their reaction would be. Disappointed or happy? After all, I had been missing, leaving them only with dreams.Dahlia turned to face me and flashed me a comforting smile. “You okay?” She asked playfully and punched me on my shoulder.“Just a stage
