Violet Miller's eyes were still on the text in the book she was reading when the plane landed. She was stuffing the book into a leather shoulder bag she was carrying when an announcement from a flight attendant sounded.
Violet looked out of the plane window. She got off the plane and headed for the airport. The seats provided were full, and rows of people were waiting to welcome their families who had just landed.
Violet pulled her suitcase onto a red sofa. She took out her phone and tapped on her twin's contact. Press the call button.
According to their conversation on the phone before Violet flew out, Isabelle would pick her up at the airport. But once again she looked around, not seeing her twin anywhere.
Violet removed the scarf that was wrapped around her neck. Only then did she realize she was the only person who looked like this. Nobody wears a scarf like this in a tropical country.
When she flew in from Los Angeles yesterday it was still very cold. But now sweat dripped from her temples.
After transiting at one of the airports in Jakarta and continuing the flight that will take them to their grandmother's place. To one of the countryside here.
When Violet lifted her head from the phone, someone ran up to her. Isabelle hugged Violet tightly. Violet hugged her back
"I miss you so bad" Isa said.A year ago was the last time they saw each other. After that they only communicate via cell phone. Violet laughed. Isabelle was the same as far as she could remember. Still very pretty.
She wore highwaist leather pants and a crop top that accentuated her long legs.
"How are you? How's school? How about london?" Violet started a conversation as they walked out of the airport.
"school is fun. And london is cold these days. It's boring. There's not much to do especially without you there Vio" Isabelle grumbled.
Violet smiled, pleasant to hear this. It was as if Isabelle had missed her so much. Even though Violet knew he was just trying to be humble. Her twin is a definition of social butterfly. She has more friends and more fun. There was so much he could do even without Violet.
"Are you happy in LA?" Isa asked
Violet nodded "I guess"
When the two of them got outside, a black car with a man was waiting for them. Violet put her suitcase in the very back seat while she got into the middle seat. The driver was driving their car leaving the airport area.
They crossed the highway where vehicles passed. The traffic light and a few turns and their car entered a more shady and quiet area. Forest area.
Trees and small houses can be seen from outside the window. Isabelle focused her gaze there.
"I've been waiting for this vacation for a long time" Violet said "Tiffany said you are the most enthusiastic"Isabelle turned "ah is she said that? She's right. I can't wait to visit grandma's house since I arrived in here"
But they are twins after all. Violet could tell something was different. Isabelle wasn't as cheerful as when she was at the airport. During the trip, she only spent time looking at the forest and trees outside.
Sometimes she would daydream and not listen when Violet spoke to him. Violet was determined they would talk about this later. As soon as they got home.
The long flight exhausted Violet. She couldn't sleep on the plane. Finally she leaned her head back against the back of the chair, and fell asleep.*****
Violet was woken up by Isabelle's smack on the cheek "it's time to wake up miss sleepyhead, We've arrived"
Violet blinked and rubbed her eyes before getting out of the car. She grabbed her suitcase.Their grandmother's house was exactly what Violet remembered. It's just that now some lights are installed in the yard. And his grandmother was seen planting more flowers in the yard. From afar but clearly Violet heard the rush of the river.
In the yard his mother and sister were waiting.Diana Miller hugged Violet tightly "Vio honey you're getting thinner" she rubbed her daughter's cheek "sounds like LA busyness doesn't suit you"
"That's the reason why I want her to continue her education here" Tiffany sneered.
Violet ignored her "where's dad? And grandma?"
"Your dad is still in Singapore. Work doesn't allow him to come now Vio, he will catch up with us the day after tomorrow if possible. Your grandmother is in the kitchen"
They enter the house. In the doorway, her grandmother greeted Violet. Violet hugged him tightly and smelled the soothing herbal scent from her.
"get some rest and take a shower first" her grandmother said "we're having a barbeque party tonight"
Tiffany pulled Violet's hand. They climbed the wooden stairs and his sister helped him carry the suitcase. Head to the top floor, where the room is located. The room that Vio used every time she visited this house.
Room with windows facing directly to the forest and the riverbank. The bed and sheets are neat. Likewise with the short table beside It.
"You tidy this up?"
Tiffany shook her head "never. Grandma did it. Likewise with my room and Isa's room. Arrange your clothes in closet sist. And come downstairs when you're ready"
Tiffany went to the door "Isa and I are going to buy some sausage and extra spicy sauce. Do you want something?"
Violet shook her head.
Tiffany shrugged "okay" she then left the room.
Violet laid her back on the bed for a moment. She grabbed her suitcase and started to organize her belongings into the cupboard. She opened the window letting fresh air in. Violet grabbed a towel and rushed to the bathroom.
The barbeque party was going well. Violet unknowingly finished three large sausages, cheese, nuggets, chicken and crab sticks. And she just felt full when I was about to take the fourth sausage. Only then did she remember she hadn't eaten since yesterday, only drank tea.Tiffany was still by the grill grilling the enoki mushrooms and seasoning them with the spicy seasoning their grandmother had made. Next to her Isabelle ate less than Violet had expected. She took a bite of the sausage lazily. When finished, Isabelle said goodbye to go to the room first because she was sleepy. Diana asks if something is wrong but Isabelle replies everything is fine. Violet knew better than her mother. She said she was going to the bathroom for a bit and headed for the sink to wash her hands. After that he went upstairs, to Isabelle's room which was across from hers. The door is closed. Violet was contemplating whether or not to knock when she heard Isa's voice from inside"Come in Vio" Violet ope
Violet's father, Davis Miller arrives at their grandmother's house the next day at dusk. He hugged Isabelle first before finally Tiffany and then Violet. She missed her dad so muchEven though Davis is not her biological father, he has more memories and roles in Violet's life than her real father. The real father Violet wanted to forget. Diana told her husband to come in and rest before they were to continue with what must have been a long dinner. There was too much to discuss especially after they had not seen each other for a long time.Violet missed a time like this. When they get together. It was times like these that would distract her mind from thinking too much about the things that bothered her. Memories of her original world that he wanted to erase from memory.Isabelle took their father into the house. Her mother and grandmother followed. When Tiffany was about to take a step Violet grabbed her sister's wrist tightly."What is it?" Tiffany raised an eyebrow glancing at her
Violet waited a moment for the three men to completely disappear. Who are they? She thought. They were clearly werewolves. Like herself. But they are not from low rank. The three men gave off an aura that made Violet shudder. Or perhaps it's just because she's becoming more and more timid by the time. After so many years of not living in Lusevell, coming back here felt like a nightmare. Lusevell has always been a haunting shadow and traumatized her. That was a time when two little girls become a victim of the war caused by the ruling and powerful clan. That's why she couldn't help herself as soon as Isabelle told her that someone, who knows, had called her back here.She had to find her twin wherever she was and the two of them would find a way out of here together. The night wind blew and shook the leafy tree branches. In a dark lush corner of an enormous oak tree Violet felt something moving and watched her. Owl's voice chirped. She immediately run from there. The girl did not
In a spacious chamber, the gentle morning sunlight streamed in through the large glass windows. The body of a young girl lying on the bed mingled with the messy coverlets.Isabelle moved slowly, her hand moving to rub her eyes because the light had dazzled her. She got up and took a sitting position. As her consciousness had gathered she slowly recalled what was going on.Yesterday she heard the call again. And again. This time it was more intense until she ran towards the forest in the middle of the night. She remembered Violet's fury towards her and the presence someone else, a woman.A woman who is not a human. That came out of the clumps of night mist like a ghost. She took Isabelle away. Then after that she didn't remember anything anymore.One fragment of her memory was of her body being laid on the bed by a stout hand. After that everything felt like a dream when she was drunk. Addictive mix of pressure and pleasure.Her smooth skin came rub together with a tough body as he fon
The two of them came out of the lodging when the sun was high in the sky. On the azure sky climate Violet saw flocks of black birds flying. Her clear cacao irises widened at the sight of the flock of tiny birds form a wide pattern in the air and then spread again. Unaware that Maxon gaze was watching her every move seriously "You seem interested in every little thing you see" Violet turned to him and her lips formed a sweet smile. "You look so beautiful when you smile, Violet," he said. Seeing him now, Violet wanted to scream that she should be the one who should be stunned. If only Maxon could hear Violet's heart now beating so wildly. This morning after coming out of the bathroom a lovely dress made of a silky garments was lying on the coverlets. The dress had a soft lavender color and fell like water following her curves. When Violet saw her appearance in the mirror, the dress fit perfectly on her body. But she felt unworthy to wear it. "Maxon, I.. I thank you once again" He
Alexander was walking around the town to have a look. The past few months he had traveled quite a bit to deal with some bandits and rebellion issues and so on that he paid little attention to his own people.Usually he didn't have the time and didn't care about this kind of event. Xander simply gave his permission, and the rest let things go. He wouldn't have left if his friend, who always found interest in every single thing, Nicholas, hadn't forced him to go out.But perhaps Nicholas did have a gift from the goddess, because this morning what Xander found was completely beyond his expectations.He felt his blood ripple.Last night, his owl returned to him with news that after a long time, managed to make his heart beat again. The girl had arrived back to Lusevell.His mate.After his astrologers predicted that Xander's mate might be dead or would only be born for another century, now fate has told them they were wrong.His bright blue irises flashed at the glance of her real presenc
"Did she just reject you?" Nicholas stared in disbelief at Violet. In his voice, there was an amused tone that made Xander glare at him."Before she even knew who you were? Wow. this is the first time someone has done that" Nicholas chuckledXander watched the girl until her body disappeared into the crowd. "tempered girl, right?" He muttered.He always imagined what his mate would be like. After these past few days of entering his dream he finally met Violet in person."she suits your taste, doesn't she?" Nicholas asked his friend."Where did you meet her yesterday?" Xander changed the topic. It had only been a while since he'd heard that Nicholas had met Violet and that it had troubled him. His natural instinct is to be more sensitive when it comes to his mate."yesterday in the wood. And a few times in the human world"Xander glared at him. Nicholas raised his hands. Signs that he's giving up "calm down, buddy. I'm just look after her as you ordered me to"Xander nodded in satisfa
Cecil slapped her own forehead. Can't understand Isabelle's idiocy.I'm dead. She thought.Alpha Victor was angry enough with her when Cecil brought the wrong mate. His anger yesterday even made half the magic hall a mess.Now Isabelle could cost her life.Cecil shrunk even more as Victor arrived in front of her. His expression was actually controlled.But Cecil knew better. She knew it was a harbinger of an impending storm."Cecil""Yes Alpha?" she dropped her gaze to the floor."Do you really take my words as mere wind? Do you really want to die?"Cecil slowly raised her head "No.. No Alpha""Then why did you let the girl still roam around my house? Didn't I tell you to throw her away? Even kill her if necessary""I..." she was at a loss for words. She was just about to take Isabelle out of here but the girl had already run here looking for Victor."If you dare to disobey my orders, you will know the consequences" With that Victor walked away.Cecil nodded quickly then slumped to th
