VIOLETTE. Noah and I sat across each other. Noah was still as tense as before. His jaw hardened, and he kept clenching his fists. I, on the other hand, felt numb. I didn’t know what to feel about his words. “So?” I began. “I’m still not sure about it, Violette. That’s why I’m avoiding you. Seeing you keep making me want to tell you everything, but I’m afraid I’d get your hope up.” Ignoring his words, I asked, “Where have you seen her before?” Noah lowered his hands and hid them under the table while his gaze averting mine. His leg kept moving anxiously as I waited. I was nervous myself. Despite telling my heart not to soar high because of the possibility of Noah knowing my mother, I couldn’t help but hope. “As I said, I’m not sure. When I saw the picture, I only thought she looked awfully familiar to one of my supporters before my father’s death.” “Supporter?” “Yes. She is a very important figure in my life. A wise and powerful woman. I admire her, to be honest. Seeing your mot
VIOLETTE.“Tell me about yourself.” Noah suddenly said as we lay down on the bed.Without looking at him, I replied, “Suddenly?”“We never really talk about ourselves, Vio. I want to know more about you. About your past and the people around you. Is that wrong?”“There is nothing interesting in my life, though.”Noah reached for my arm and pulled me toward him. One of his arms sneaked to my waist, while the other was placed under my head.“That’s for you. But for me, everything about you is interesting. So?”I stared at the beautiful man before me, thinking about how we could get entangled with each other. It still amazed me that a mare witch like me could be mated to him. And to think that he seemed to want me desperately baffled me.As we stayed silent, I recalled my past. There was nothing interesting, really. There were many beautiful memories before my mother’s disappearance, but it had become blurry over time. I was too focused on looking for her that I failed to enjoy my life to
HERTA.Dream walking. That’s what I was doing. Attacking Noah while he was awake would put me at a disadvantage solution. It was a different case if he was sleeping and completely unaware that he would be in great danger.Although the chance of success spiked up, I also put myself in a vulnerable situation because while I trans-passed to Noah’s dream, my body was lying with only a protection spell around me. Anyone else could have attacked my physical body, and I’d be late to defend myself.Dream walking was an ability I got after I drank my master’s blood. Before, I only knew a little about it and tried to learn it by myself, but I never managed to do that because my power wasn’t enough. Sacrificing my master was a great solution at that time. I became more powerful to the point I could perform many forbidden spells.I stood still in the empty space, waiting for the haze to clear up before taking another step. If I wasn’t careful, I could be trapped here forever.A strong wind blew pa
NOAH.“So I’ve been told all the preparations are done; we are just waiting for your order.”Faintly, I heard Varg explain the progress of our plan for Lord Barlow, but I couldn’t focus at all. My mind wandered to the strange occurrence last night. I’d never forget the agony and feeling of helplessness that attacked me.I didn’t know how it happened, but I was attacked once I lost to deep slumber. It did not directly on my physical body, yet the impact left me breathless and almost delirious. The pain wasn’t the worst part of everything. Seeing Violette attacking me in my dream pained me the most.When I asked her about it, she and I were shocked. Despite knowing someone was messing with my head, I couldn’t help but ask her. Fortunately, Violette could handle the situation better than I and decided to nurse me until my sanity returned.This morning we talked about it again, then Violette told me something about a dream walker. She explained it briefly and claimed that not many witches
NOAH.I could feel Violette’s hand turn clammy as she watched three lifeless bodies before her eyes. I pulled her gently so I could be a barrier between her and the gruesome view.My servants’ bodies were brought to the hall, and I had ordered anyone to continue their work and never to speak a word about this incident. According to Diana, the three of them were found missing around twenty minutes, then someone found them at the back of my place. They were already dead then, so none could guess who was the culprit.Turning back, I faced Violette, slipped my hand to the back of her head, and forced her to lift her head. I tried to smile, giving her the reassurance that everything was under my control.“It’s okay. I have planned to kill them, anyway. No one will know about it. I’ll let everyone know that they disobeyed me and decided to punish them. You are innocent.”Putting her hand on top of mine, Violette shook her head vehemently. “I’m not innocent. I want them dead. I wished for the
VIOLETTE. Noah had told me that Dahlia and Willa had arrived early in the morning, which was why I ran excitedly to the maid’s quarter because they were there, busy familiarizing themself with the rest of the slaves and maids. According to Noah, Dahlia would take Mrs. Opiana’s position, while Willa would take Diana’s, then Diana would work under Dahlia because Noah wanted to ensure that people around us were trustworthy. The purpose of letting Diana under Dahlia’s eyes was to judge whether the young she-wolf could be trusted. I didn’t know what exactly Noah’s plan and I very much preferred to be kept in the dark since I didn’t want to lie in front of Olivia. “Ah, Luna Olivia.” My steps faltered. She hadn’t asked for me, which was weird since she was so fond of our current ‘friendship.’ That made me wonder whether she had encountered a problem. “Ah, forget about it, Vio. She might want to take a break from meeting a lowlife slave like you. Right. It must be the reason. I don’t have
NOAH.“What are you two talking about?” Nash asked with his gaze stayed focused on me. “It’s rare to see you interacting with nobles, so something must be piquing your interest.”Faking a laugh, I hit Nash’s shoulder playfully, but enough to make him flinch. “What are you talking about, brother? Lord Barlow is my mate’s father. It’s normal for me to talk with him since we will become family soon. It would be weird if we were acting like strangers, wouldn’t we, Lord Barlow?”“That’s right, My King. Noah and I never had a chance to have a deep talk with each after the announcement during the Welcoming ball. Noah come to me and ask for dinner along with Flora.”Nash bobbed his head in understanding, but I knew he didn’t buy it. Great, that was exactly what I wanted.“Dinner….Mind if I join? The more, the merrier, right?”“You are always welcome to join, brother. It’s actually even better. We can have a family dinner before the mating ceremony,” I replied, pretending to be excited about th
NOAH.Violette and I went out of the guest house when the sun had already high in the sky. After getting a pass to enter, we were escorted to a magnificent building just right beside the pack house. I expected us to stay in the pack house, but Killian’s pack was rich enough to build a grand guest house.As Kasha had claimed, the Bloodvenom pack was flourishing. I didn’t remember the facilities in this pack to be this extravagant before. Under the former Alpha, the building used to look shabby. Not only that, but I also noticed that the safety around the area had improved.I guess siding with Nash brought many benefits to Killian.“Let’s join them.” I pointed at the crowds gathering in the spacious hall.“Are we playing today?” Violette asked as she took in her surrounding.“Not yet. Nobles from Lordslane and several big packs will play tomorrow. For today we are here to observe.”“Tomorrow will be my death match,” Violette said helplessly.I lowered my head, then gently squeezed her s
