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
NOAH.The Rules of Slave Hunt.1. Prey on the hunt is the slave, and the hunter is the rogue. Additional prey, such as personal maids, side women, and even mates, can be included as long as all Masters on each round make a unanimous vote to let them join.2. Each day consists of ten rounds. Masters can decide which round they’d like to join and write it down on paper. The announcer will take the paper before the first round begins.3. In each round, the player consists of five participants. There are five entrance gates to the maze arena, but only one exit gate. Therefore, the fastest one will be the winner. The other four will be kept in the maze for another twenty minutes. If the hunters got them, they’d die. If they managed to survive, they could leave.4. Each participant may use any means to hinder their competitors from succeeding. Weapons will be provided before entering the arena.5. Masters cannot stop the play when all players have stepped into the arena.6. A secret help fro
VIOLETTE.A mess.Under Noah’s mischievous hands, my perfectly braided hair was unraveled, leaving whips of blonde strands fanned out across the pillow. One long curl fell over my damp forehead. Then, the skirt of my dress was pulled until my waist, and he placed his knee in between my legs, putting the perfect pressure on my core.“I can’t. No more. I’ll….faint if you keep torturing me.” I stammered, trying to move away.“What torture are you talking about, my dear?” He grinned like an innocent boy, yet I knew better. “I’m giving you the reward you deserve.”After saying that, his hand went to tug the left side of my shoulder until my bosom was almost exposed. “Should I give them a kiss too?”My eyes widened, which made him laugh.“I hate you.”Noah’s grip on my waist tightened, and I gasped for air as he pressed his knees hard against my wet sex, pushing my back into a feverish arch and my chest out toward him.“Don’t say a word you don’t mean. I know you mean the opposite.” Noah’s l
Violette. "Now, the last round begins."As soon as the announcer declared the start of my round, the gate before me creaked open, showing an endless maze. Seeing the arena from above was far different than up close. I had thought it would be easy to find the exit door, but now I'm not sure anymore. "All the players, please enter." I looked over my shoulder for the last time, founding Noah smiling at me and mouthed 'stay save' toward me, then I took a step to enter the maze. "Please enjoy the hunt."I crept cautiously down the trail, straining my ears to catch any sound of my opponent and the hunter. My gaze roved across my surroundings as I took a sharp left in the maze. Then I heard Triana's menacing voice,"Where the devil is that slave?" Instantly I ducked into hiding, my heart hammering with terror. "Lady Barlow will punish me if I fail to kill her today, ugh."I didn't bother to listen anymore and immediately took another route. Just when I thought I was already safe, the mena
NOAH. Watching Violette’s chest heave in a steady rhythm finally could wash the tension out of my body. When she was fighting in the arena, I felt like I had lost several years of my lifetime. It was so intense that I felt like vomiting. Fortunately, what I had in mind came true, so she could leave without losing anything. When the last round began, I talked with Killian. Ah, more like I talked alone because Killian kept his focus on his little maid. An amusing sight, I must say. I told him about the probability of Joy ending up dying and told him as the host, he had the power to manipulate this game. I was confident that Killian would play dirty, but when Joy managed to kill one of the players, I thought that the little maid might be able to win. The feeling, however, didn’t last long since I found Killian still looked extremely worried for Joy. So, in the end, Killian cheated. He released three rogues in the area where the small pack seated. A sly bastard. He chose the pack wher
Violette. The memories of coming into the ballroom for the very first time attacked me. It felt like it was just yesterday when I walked into these unfamiliar surroundings. That time I was introduced as a slave that could be thrown away, but here I was—entering the ballroom with several eyes following my movement with respect. That time I trailed behind Noah, feeling scared and distant. But now, I walked side by side while linking our arms."Welcoming the Alighmity Alpha—King Noah Wolfson, and his Luna—Queen Violette Wolfson."The guests clapped in union as we sauntered to the center of the room. Unlike the first time I was here, now I could see many familiar faces. Friends, servants, and guards. At the very back of the room, Killian stood like a guard to Joy. Kasha was busy with another redhead. Helio trailed Olivia as she went to see the food. Willa and Dahlia were busy wiping their tears as they watched us. I didn't see Varg, but he'd come soon. "Stop looking around. I'm here, m
Violette. Noah and I stood in front of Herta and Nash. They were shackled in the same cell my mother used for almost ten years. “You can’t put me here, Noah! I’m still your brother! Your only chance to kill me was in the arena. Outside of that, it would be a crime!” Nash lunged forward, but the chain pulled him back. “No, brother. You’ll be staying here until death knocks on your door.”“Your mate is a witch! After finding out she is a witch, everyone won’t let you be a king!”“So?” Tilting his head, Noah grabbed Nash’s hair. His eyes showed malicious intent. “They don’t know and will never know.”“Bold of you think that. I’ve let Lord Bryan…”“Bryan, right? He is one of my people.” Noah tugged Nash’s hair harshly. “And I’ve killed him too. You don’t have anything to use against me, brother.”For once, I finally saw a flicker of fear in Nash’s eyes. He turned to Herta and yelled at her. “What are you doing?! We are going to die if you don’t use your stupid magic!”That made me lau
Noah. Violette’s body trembled in my arms as she watched Nara’s body get buried. She rested her head on my chest, her hands clutching my shirt so tight. Her agonizing cries echoed in my ears like a painful reminder that I, once again, failed her. During the attack, I was searching for the parchment my father left for me—he made a will for me to take the throne after his passing. Nara told me where she hid it before she went to the human land. It was near the gate, so I went there without telling Violette. I was overjoyed after founding another strong weapon against Nash, but the happiness came crashing down as soon as I returned to Nightfall pack and found Violette’s body battered left and right. And the worse, Nara was dead. Helio told me they found her too late. By the time they got into the forest, the surrounding had been ruined. Violette and Nara’s body was lying helplessly on the ground. “I’m sorry, my dear,” She didn’t answer. Only her sob could be heard. “It’s going to ra
Herta. Empty. I knew someone had managed to infiltrate the dungeon since I felt my spell break while I was busy trailing behind Olivia and Nash. They were busy admiring the scenery while someone was taking our prisoner. I took a deep breath before observing each corner of the cell. The melting chain shone like a sore thumb on the ground, proving that my spell wasn’t strong enough. I went straight to the corner of the cell and bent down to see there was a trace of blood on the wall. “As expected. A secret door laced with magic.” My hand felt the wall's surface, then brought it back to my nose. Inhaling the scent of dried blood mixed with the spell. Each witch had their own scent, which usually lingered if they used a strong spell. “Elton,” I murmured. Elton Daley. My master. I laughed upon realizing how foolish I was for not realizing it sooner. How could I miss his track even after staying in the castle for so long? He was already dead, but his spell still lives up to this day. I
Violette. When I woke up, I saw Noah watching me with an angry expression. I pushed my body to sit and leaned on the headboard. “How long have I been sleeping?”“How long do you think?” He asked back. “An hour?” I said while biting my lips. Judging from his glare, I guess I had been losing myself for more than a day. “Three days.”“What?!” Noah inched closer to me and touched my temple with the back of his hand. “Don’t overdo yourself again. You scared me to death, Violette.” He lowered his head and pitched his nose. “You were bleeding so much. I thought you were going to die.”“Come here, my dear.” I opened my hands for him, waiting until he embraced me. And when he did, I stroked his back softly. “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”We remained silent after that. Noah’s hold on me grew tighter. He snuggled on my neck and inhaled deeply repeatedly as if trying to reassure himself that I was really with him. I heard too a deep breath before he finally let me go. His grey eyes stare
Violette. The situation after Noah returned became a bit calm. I didn’t hear from Olivia and couldn’t even visit her. She had refused to see anyone. As for Natalie, I heard from the maids she was tortured continuously. Nothing major happened these days. So I used my time to practice my magic. I had found a spell to use my astral body to travel around. The book stated that if we had enough power, we could do it for ten minutes. However, I couldn’t even hold out until two minutes. I had tried to use it to walk outside of Noah’s quarter, but eventually, I was pulled back into my physical body. Every day Noah consoles me that I’d get better with more practice. I knew that; however, could that woman wait until I was skilled enough?Sighing, I closed the book and threw my body on the bed. Another day passed, and I still didn’t make any new progress. I turned my head on the door, counting from one to one hundred. Usually, Noah would return before I reached eighty. “Let’s see if he can re
Violette. That mysterious woman’s plea rang in my head as I combed my hair. I didn’t know whether she was a figment of my imagination or not, and I didn’t have a way to know how to prove her existence. If I went back to the dungeon, it would alert Nash’s people. Magic? That could be used, but I wasn’t sure I could do a complicated spell. In the end, I could only sigh. “Violette!”The door to the bedchamber opened with a loud bang, and Noah appeared disheveled, but his condition wasn’t as bad as mine when I left the prison. Awkwardly, I lifted my hands and waved to him,“You are back,” I said. Somehow I felt like I wanted to weep in front of him because of everything that had happened while he was away. My eyes stung, so I looked up to the ceiling like it was more interesting than Noah.Second after, my body was lifted from the chair, and Noah was crushed against my body. His arms were around my body, and I felt him press several kisses on top of my head. Like a second to nature,
Violette. Two guards dragged me harshly after Olivia’s maid accused me of trying to kill her. I tried to argue and defend myself, but the maid was hellbent that I was the culprit because I was the last person who interacted with Olivia. Not only that, she was certain because I was Noah’s mate. Which meant I had enough reason to eliminate Nash’s mate. Ridiculous, but I couldn’t do anything to prove myself innocent. My only choice right now was to follow the rules. If they wanted to lock me in the dungeon for the time being, so be it. I could only hope the royal physician could save Olivia so she would be able to defend me. We walked for several minutes to the north side of the castle, where not many people linger. Only one building was visible—one that looked old and haunted— Four giant people stood at the entrance gate. Their uniform was a bit different than the usual guard or warrior. Without saying anything, they let us through. The dungeon, just like any other, was a dark and
Noah. Moonstone’s pack condition was far from good. Fresh and dry blood colored the ground—several lifeless bodies scattered around the entrance gate and inside the pack. No sound could be heard, as if no one was breathing besides me, Chad, and the two warriors with me. “Start looking around and immediately evacuate anyone if they are still alive,” I ordered. “Chad and I will try to look for Alpha Marcus.”They nodded without words, then ran from house to house. As for me and Chad, we went to the pack house. In front of the pack house’s door, a young she-wolf body lay naked with a deep wound on her stomach. I squatted down, removed the outer of my clothes, and covered her body. After that, I pushed the door open, showing how messy the pack house was. Each corner of the wall was tainted with blood. Judging from this current situation, I didn’t think anyone survived the attack. This made me wonder how rogues could manage to wander freely in this land while the upper warrior should ha
