"Do you plan on burning down the whole restaurant?" The manager asked as he pointed his finger to the burning dish."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.""I know you didn't, your mind has been all over the place" the manager said as he took over from what I was doing. "You can take a day off if you want, just clear your head before you do something worse."I was grateful for the offer, but I rather work than go back to that tensed filled house."It's alright sir, I'll be more careful next time", I say to the manager who gave me a look before leaving the kitchen for me to handle.I'm working at a famous local shrimp restaurant downtown. I'm trying to learn how to make the jambalaya. I've been eager to learn it after a vacation Kimberly and I took to Louisiana. The stuff got me hooked. As simple as it looks it's quite hard to make a perfect one. I tried learning online recipes but it wasn't giving me the taste I needed, so here I am, stir frying veggies until I'm giving a chance to enter the ma
Author's POV"Master Kendrick" one of the guys said as they turned around to see where the voice came from." Let her go" the cold voice sounded through the quiet alley."But..." The black haired guy proceeded to say."She's not the one we're looking for."" The priestess said she's the one, are you saying she was lying?" The brown haired guy asked suspiciously." She made a mistake." Kendrick said as he walked slowly towards them with his hands behind his back. " Leave her alone and go back before you expose more than you should."" And what makes you think we'll listen to you?" The brown haired guy questioned. He had always hated Kendrick, so if it means killing Violet just so that he won't have to follow Kendrick's orders, then he'll do with it even without Violet being the one they were looking for." Are you challenging me?" Kendrick asked as he tilted his head slightly with a smirk etched on his lips." What if I am?"" Try me. "The black haired guy just stood at the side watch
Violet's POVMy mom is giving me weird looks right now. It's almost as if she's seen a ghost."I should have expected it" I hear my mum say.Expected what? I asked. I'm sure this is related to Kendrick and the witches. My mum looked me up and down as she checked for something on my body."Thank God they didn't hurt you" Now I'm sure this is related to the witches. She sure has a lot of explanations to render to me cause this is all too baffling, and in one night at that.Let's go in and talk mum. By now my mum had regained her normal poise and it seemed like the reaction from her earlier was all fake. But I know it wasn't fake. This is as real as it gets."They've really found me" my mum said as she stared at my body. I followed her line of sight and I saw the black blood that stained my clothes. Who are this "they" mum?"You don't need to know"Mum!I couldn't help the scream that came out when my mum tried to brush this off as nothing.I already know mum,and I suggest you trust m
Violet's POV"I'll tell you what that prophesy is, but before that you have to promise to get married to jake"What kind of request was that?. What does Jake has to do with me knowing my mum's past? Even if I agree, there is no way Jake will agree with this marriage.I looked at my mum and I saw how resolute she was, nothing could change her mind."Mum" I called out, "You know what you're asking for is impossible right? Even if I agree to this marriage, you certainly know that Jake wouldn't, you saw what he did that day, he is hellbent on not marrying me." I tried to make my mum to see reasons why her request was absurd, absolutely absurd."Leave that to me. He'll come to you himself." "But why mum? why Jake?""The weight of what I'm about to tell you is too heavy for your little shoulders to carry. You need someone strong by your side, someone like Jake""But Jake is a mere werewolf mum, there is only so much he can do even if he's the strongest wolf to ever be known"."There is muc
Princess Lucia POV"I can't believe the queen would lock up her own daughter just because she wanted to be the most powerful" I heard one of the guards say."I wonder if things would be different if the priestess hadn't revealed that prophesy" The other one replied.They were different from the former guards who were guarding my cell. They seemed new. It's rare for someone to speak of me with sympathy instead of contempt."Hey" I called out to them."I thought you were sleeping" The first guard said."I just woke up. Could you please let me in on the prophecy?.""We will get killed if anyone knows about it, the queen doesn't even know we are aware of it." The second guard answered, I could see the fear in his eyes."I'm stuck in here remember?, No one will know of it so far I'm in here. I'll die soon if I continue living like this anyway, can't I at least know the reason for all my suffering?" I pleaded with the guards. I could see their eyes wavering a bit, contemplating if telling m
Violet POVWell, guess who is here, it's Jake!!!!!____I looked through the peep hole of the door and I saw Jake standing there, his hands inside his pockets. What the hell is he doing here!!!"What are you doing here?" I said quite saucily as I opened the door."Marry me Violet!"Was that a joke or something?, He just showed up and blatantly asked me to marry him. Is this the Jake I know."You've definitely gone nuts," I said as I turned to shut at the door at his face, but he slipped his hand mid way, stooping me form doing so."I'm serious, marry me!" He said it again. Then something clicked;"My mum came to meet you right?" I asked as I calmed down a little."How did you know?" Jake asked, confusion written all over his face."Come in" I gestured with my hand instead of answering his question."So...what now?" I asked Jake once we've made our selves comfortable on the couch."What do you mean what now, we'll get married as soon as possible" Jake replied curtly. Where was the Jake

Violet's POV "What the fuck do you think you are doing?!" I yelled. I would have retaliated but it would be complete disrespect to the alpha and the elders present. I turned to look at Jake giving him the 'I told you look' but he didn't even look the least bothered that I just got slapped. "Do I still look like a joke to you?!" Felicia seethed. "What the hell is going on here?!" Jake's Father shouted from where he was standing. "Do you know what you doing in the sacred presence of the moon goddess?" Felicia didn't realize in time that other people were watching and that included the Alpha. She was so engrossed in confronting me that she forgot this is a wedding, the Alpha's son's wedding. "I'm sorry my alpha," Felicia said as she bowed before Jake's Father. "After the celebration, I want you three in my office" Jake's Father said and the celebration continued. "Have you two gotten married already?!" Felicia asked shocked, she came too late...too too late. She turned to look at
