Please do tell me if you find this story boring. I'll try to improve. Thank you.
Violette. "Then does that mean your supporter— Nara, is my family?"Noah's countenance turned ashen. Jerking his head to my left, he averted my gaze while running his finger on my palm. "Why?" I askedNoah let out an exhausting sigh before shifting his attention back to me. He grabbed my hands, squeezing in between his big hands as his eyes rooted on me. He was hesitating, which made me anxious. Whatever he was going to say, I think it wouldn't please me. "There is something I didn't mention since it's not my place to tell someone's story. Nara is actually an orphan, my dear. As far as I know, she doesn't have relatives."Immediately I retreated my hands and looked at him with a questioning look. Why would he hold this kind of truth from me? If he had told me sooner, I wouldn't even dare to hope and think that there might be a possibility of founding my mother. "You could have said it the moment you mentioned her, Noah. All your words during our conversation before seemed useless.
Nash. Days went in blurry as I focused my mind on dealing with Bran. These few days, he hadn't bothered to hide the fact that he was supporting Noah. During morning court, I caught my councilmen always darting their eyes between Bran and me, questioning whether it was true that our alliance was finally over. After giving an order to Herta, I gave Bran a second chance to weigh the option in his hands. If his behavior showed that he had sobered up, I'd give him a second chance and would forget his betrayal. But with each report I received from Herta, it only confirmed that Bran had truly changed lanes. People began talking. Not only noble and councilmen but also servants, which drove me nuts. But I didn't explode. However, Bran's brazen attempt to recommend Noah to the council during morning court finally made the rage boil like hot lava. At that very moment, I decided to get rid of him. I didn't care how long he had served me. Someone who lost their loyalty to me had no worth in my
Violette. “Have you heard? Many people saw Lady Herta leave for Lord Barlow’s manor yesterday, and early this morning, I caught Comannder Rendall bringing around ten to twenty of his warrior. If I’m not mistaken, they went to arrest Lord Barlow.”“Does it mean all the things in the flyers are true? That our King is the mastermind of the attack during the Hunting event?”“That’s not what’s important. The big issue here is how Lord Barlow turned his back on our King, which made him end up in this situation.”“But, our King is the first to attack Lord Barlow. Hadn’t he touched Lady Barlow, all of this won’t happen.”“Shh, be Careful with your words, or you will drop dead to the ground. All the walls in this castle have ears.”As I made my way to slip away from Noah’s quarter, I overheard two young maids talking among each other. Like everyone else, they were interested in the heated issue between the King and Lord Barlow. I mean, who wouldn’t? Considering how grave this situation turne
Noah. Violette lost consciousness before I finished my words. As I placed her body on the bed, I recalled her beautiful golden eyes. I sat at the edge of the bed, thinking how long it would take until she shifted. A loud thud outside the door broke my train of thought, forcing me to step away and open the door. Willa stood in front of my door with an irritated look on her face. “Something wrong?”“Lady Barlow has been screaming your name outside. I wanted to order the guard her away, but she fought them. So, please meet her and ensure she keeps her mouth shut. I’m tired of listening to her voice.”“Okay. Please accompany Violette until I’m back.” Willa nodded, then made way for her to enter the room and leave her with Violette. Soon after, I arrived at the gate of my quarter, and with a single look to the guard, they let Flora enter. “I told you. He’d let me in.” Flora grunted as she ascended the stair. Flora glared at me, which I ignored. I ambled toward the drawing room withou
Noah. "Today, we are here to witness the execution of the Barlows. Bran Barlow, the former Head Council, is found guilty of tax evasion and high treason. Bran abused his power to plan for treason against The King. He threatened three councilmen to support his plan, which fortunately still knew their limit. Bran also tried to ruin the relationship between the King and his brother. Hence, his family and servant be executed by hanging and dismembered their bodies."The acting Head of Council, Oswald, read the announcement making the spectators in the center of the town gasp. Some of them murmured that they didn't believe the accusation, while some others cursed at them. I watched Bran and Flora. They stood on the platform with both legs and wrists shackled with silver, and their neck was circled with ropes. Their clothes were torn, and several fresh wounds were visible on their face. They didn't pledge innocent anymore. The light had left their eyes. I didn't know what Nash did to dri
Violette. I had expected to feel awful after experiencing an extreme change in my body, but I was wrong. The change felt right as if it had been supposed to be. As I moved around, I felt the breeze caress me like softly. My animal instincts took over. I became relaxed, and embracing my new form seemed natural. My thoughts cleared, then the terror slipped away from me. A lycan—a beast. I was one of them now. Under the moonlight, I ran and ran, passing several giant trees. I felt free, so much freer than I had ever felt before. Then something. No, a potent scent of wood and mint struck my nostrils, making me suddenly halt. 'Mate.' My wolf growled as it recognized Noah's wolf standing before us. Noah growled in response, and before I could even process what was happening, my instinct took over, and my body moved so fast and leaped to Noah. However, he was faster to dodge and dashed away from me. 'Mate! Mate! Mate!' My wolf's guttural growl rang in my ears, pushing me to catch Noah
Violette. Noah was right. Each day I felt like I was about to lose my mind because of a damn passion for him. It was getting harder that I had a wolf inside me now. It kept trying to come to the surface and just jumped on Noah. I had been struggling to keep myself together these past few days, but that couldn't be said to Noah because he seemed okay. It was as if the oncoming Red Moon didn't affect him. It pissed me off that I was the only one struggling. Also, the king kept throwing numerous women for Noah since Noah lost his potential mate. I scoffed, then pursed my lips, walking straight to the garden while stomping on the ground. The maid who was sent to fetch me looked back over her shoulder with an arched brow, but I remained unfazed so she could continue to walk. Eventually, we arrived at the garden. Unlike the usual, where Olivia would sit gracefully on the chair to marvel at the beautiful view, she stood to touch the flowers directly this time. As if sensing another pres
Violette.Noah elevated his brows before answering. “Yes. Leave us.”Gone was my intention to hurt him because before I tried, he had hurt me first. I flashed a polite smile to him, curtsied, and turned on my heel.Before taking two steps away, my hand was yanked until my body crushed against Noah’s body. He positioned me in front of me with his arms locked on my waist and his lowered to my shoulder.“Not you, my dear.” After saying that, he straightened his stand. “Both of you should go to the slave quarter before I lose my patience.”“My Lord, we will be thrown—”“How is that my business? Your misery has nothing to do with me. Go!” He barked, making the two poor women run like their feet were under fire.Then, before I realized it, I was already on the bed with Noah on top of me. He straddled me while both his hands were placed on either side of my head. He leaned closer; hot breath fanned my face, making my skin heat.“Was that jealousy I see?” He teased, grinning from ear to ear.“
