Violet's povHis erection jerked rapidly, and then stopped just as it stood long and hard, poised at the entrance of my cunt.I searched his face as I whispered. "Did you?"A pained expression that he couldn't hide crossed his face. Then, he stood so suddenly, baring my exposed cunt to the sting of sunlight that seeped in through the tree that was supposed to be our shade from peering eyes.Rearranging my gown, I pulled up what remained of the hose and sat up, my eyes dark and befuddled."Why?" I whispered weakly.Even though I didn't remember him-- Papa, I was pained by the fact that it was the very person whom I love that deprived me of that joy. I don't understand how Mama could be this forgiving. With all that I've heard Xaden did, there shouldn't be an ounce of feelings left for him. But somewhere deep, within the anger I bore for him, there was still passion... Bitter sweet for him."Hunter was right." I murmured, tears already forming in my eyes."The man you were with?" He as
Xaden's pov"You must be crazy!" She growled as we made our way back to the castle."It's no longer news, Violet." I answered."But why did you tell Mama that? Isn't that very stupid? Could I be so heartless as to neglect my Mama to make wild love when she was ill?" She scoffed. "It was six days." She added."It doesn't matter. She was asleep all through the five days, then woke up last eve." I replied calmly.She looked at me wearily for a short while and continued forward. I matched her pace, and was soon walking beside her."I want to walk alone." She said, as we neared the courtyard."Not until I've had some explanation." I muttered, holding her wrist to halt her."About what?" She threw, facing me."Who was the man?" I asked."How about you first explaining what came upon you that night. You weren't yourself." She said, a disgruntled expression on her face.I still couldn't believe the fact that she still felt some form of emotion for me."Later." I answered gruffly."Had it happ
Violet's povAfter Hunter had just vanished, I dashed outside the house which Hunter had said his friend was kind enough to loan him.How was I supposed to get home now? And what do I even say to Xaden? How do I explain Hunter to him, what excuse do I give Mira for not returning to my chores and duties? And what explanation do I give Mama for not returning to the cottage?Once outside, my attention was alerted to someone standing discreet, leaning against the wall.Who was h--"My lady, hurry. Luna Sera needs you now... I was asked to come get you quickly." Xavier said, immediately I recognized him."What's wrong?" I asked in panic."I really can't say much, my lady." He answered.He led me to his mount and immediately he stubbed the stallion with his knees and it gained speed."How long?" I asked."It started last night, but grew worse this morning. So Danya had to come get his lordship.""Oh god! Oh god!" I muttered."She'll be fine, my lady. Lord Xaden had already summoned the heal
Xaden's povI sensed something as soon as Mira left the room. She knew about the Mirror Blade but was hiding it. I flipped through the pages of the very old looking scroll I held. I had lost it when Luna Sera had given it to me. On the night that everything was destroyed. I remembered vividly. It was my birthday. I had thought to sneak Violet out of the grounds to go play with her and express my feelings for her. Also, to show her I now had the ability to transform. It was supposed to be a very special night. However, Luna Sera had caught on and I've had no choice but to ask her permission. Then surprisingly, she had agreed to let us go, with a strong admonition not to return for a while.I had been young and foolish. I was so ecstatic when she had given her approval. Even Lord Daemon hadn't objected, although he didn't seem happy about it. Yet, I didn't catch on.It was strange that a parent would allow their only child out of their sight, not to talk of their grounds.Luna Sera gave
Mira's povThe castle seemed more quiet than unusual. All the servants seemed to be minding their business as they ought. Only that it was a bit strange, as they never minded their business. Walking to the hallway, I summoned the head butler over. "Is there a problem, Connor?" I asked."No madam. Everything is fine." He answered."Then, why is everyone so quiet?" I asked."I guess they have lots of things to attend to."He answered.Nodding I turned to leave but paused. "And his lordship?" He looked at me like he hadn't heard my question. "Pardon?" He said."Are you deaf or daft?" I muttered.His face bunched up in a frown, so that I knew he was hiding something.I moved closer to him threateningly, daring him to speak, as I gave him a pointed look that had him almost peeing on his pants, if the door hadn't been thrown open.Xaden filled the corridor, looking all gallant and handsome in his surcoat and tunic."What do you think you're doing?" He barked.Smiling, I walked to where he
Violet's pov"He's here." Hunter voiced."Who? Xaden?" I asked in bewilderment.His eyes locked with mine for a moment. "Aye." He nodded.Immediately, I began to walk outside, but was pulled back as fast as I had turned to leave."What?" I snapped."Are you sure you want to go to him?" Hunter asked.Vexed, I stared right back at him. "Yes. He's here for me." I said."You think?" He asked dubiously."Then why would he come here?" I asked."Why do you think so?" He scoffed.Totally pissed, I asked. "What have you done now?""Why don't we find out." He answered.Hunter nudged me towards the door where Xaden was sighted, already dismounting Shadow. He watched me closely as he made his way towards me. As soon as he got close, I felt a small wind across my face. As soon as that happened, my body suddenly became so tight it felt like I was about to burst in twos. I struggled to steady myself as I felt a hand crept close to my neck. My fingers itched to wrap my fingers around my neck. But I d
