She Was Here Before Me

VIOLET

Nighttime was upon us.

The darkness hid things.

It hid people as well. Here in the dark, I could hide, I could be anyone else. But I could also leave and visit the light when I wanted.

She couldn't.

Brian was wrong about my wolf. It was I who needed her forgiveness, not the other way around. It was I who needed to seek her out and hope she would agree to take my hand.

I searched within, looking for traces of the person I could have been, and looking for her. The darkness echoed back an emptiness I was now burdened to fill.

“Forgive me,” I whispered to the dark, knowing she was listening.

“Is it safe to be out here?” I muttered to Brian who was ahead of me.

The night before was riddled with dreams, and I'd creaked and turned until morning had come. I had gotten no sleep at all, and it made me very irritable.

Also, after the events of yesterday, I naturally thought Brian would want to skip training today. But he remained rigid as ever, ordering me to the woods after we'd had b

  • The Cursed Alpha    Let's Dance

    VIOLETWhen I returned to the sitting area, I was dressed for training, and Brian was still there exactly as I'd left him.He lifted hollow eyes to me and my heart clenched hard enough to make me think I was having a heart attack. I lowered my eyes, focusing on his nose.“Let's go,” I muttered, waiting for him to rise to his feet.“Violet,” My name was a plea on his lips—lips that I needed to look away from.“Brian, I do not want to talk about this. You said we were going to train, and train we shall.”And that was all it was going to be. He wanted coldness? I would be the iciest winter he's ever encountered.“No, let me speak,” he rasped. I forgot the plan and looked into his eyes. There, I saw conflicting emotions and understanding? He—Brian, understood me?“Listen Violet, I want to be better. I'm trying to be.” He swallowed hard and looked away, his Adam's apple bobbling up and down. “But it's hard to deserve you.”I pinched the bridge of my nose. He was trying? Of course, and the

  • The Cursed Alpha    I Will Reject You

    VIOLET Hearing him through the walls was a far cry from actually seeing him.My hand shook when I reached for my cup of milk. And on second thoughts, I took my hand back, I was fairly certain I would spill everything if I did lift the cup.Almost a full moon since my training with Aliya had started, and I would admit that some part of me had waited for Brian. It was supposed to be fourteen days after all, but when he didn't come, I assumed Aliya had fully taken on the role of everything.I was wrong. I don't know if I was pleased about that. But the strong tingling inside of me told me someone else was. She was way more dominant these days.He strolled in like it was nobody's business (it wasn't, it was his cabin after all), looking like a piece of cake I wanted to eat. Well, not me, but me, obviously.Calvin offered a sort of greeting, but I didn't hear, my attention was on the things I wanted but couldn't have.“Your training will resume today,” he announced like he was talking ab

  • The Cursed Alpha    Red Apple With Hair

    VIOLETThe air between Calvin and me remained stiff, but I was finally ready to do something about it.He waited for me, paying unnecessary attention to the tree I usually trained with.I heaved a deep sigh that hurt my sensitive ribs. I wouldn't make this easy for me if I were him. And even then, I would still do my best to fix things. I was wrong, it was easy to see that.Calvin was not very tall. My head stopped at his shoulders and I was closer to the ground than most.“I'm sorry,” I blurted as I reached his side. Better to get it over with quickly.His eyes swung to me, then back to the tree, before coming to rest on me again. “What?” “I'm sorry,” I repeated.He gestured to me, “She's sorry,” he said to the tree, ignoring me.I briefly wondered if he had gone mad and I forced back the chuckle that was threatening to escape.“Calvin, I was speaking to you.”“Didn't seem like you were,” he muttered back, his focus still on the tree. “Are you ready to leave?”I sighed again. He re

  • The Cursed Alpha    RUN

    VIOLET Calvin was darting weird looks at me.Whatever Harriette did to distract him, it worked for longer than I'd expected and when he opened her back door, I was right there. He knew I'd gone somewhere, but he didn't know where.Now as he hammered a piece of nail into a chair Harriette had claimed was rickety, his eyes kept coming back to me. I wished he'd miss and hammer a finger, then he could feel as terrible as I was feeling.I was off the mark by several inches, but for the first time, I wondered if being on mark would have been better.Harriette showered him in praise as he worked. Now that Harriette had reinforced that Cain was okay, I wanted to get away from here, but I didn't want to be alone. And I didn't want to be here either.I played with the bowl of fruits she'd set out for me, but the sliced apples and blueberries weren't doing a lot for my mood. My one thought remained the same; how did I escape this mayhem untouched? What was the path forward?Most of the day pas

  • The Cursed Alpha    Datura

    VIOLET I needed to see Harriette, and someone else. I was antsy. This was an opportunity window that wouldn't remain open for long. So I needed to do something quickly. Calvin was here, wolfing down all that was left of breakfast. Scatterbrained and light as he may seem, he was quite attentive and had done the best job of babysitting me so far. His presence was calming, and his top-notch humor had me looking forward to every word out of his mouth. He made me forget, that this was a gilded cage, and I was a prisoner being sent to battle my executioners. I was told this was for my protection, but I knew deep down that after that first failed attempt, it would be hard to get another try. So there was only one way; I would burn the cage to the fucking ground. But before then… “I want to visit Harriette,” I said to my babysitter. I was supposed to be at training, but after that incident two days ago, Aliya had been busy. I waited for her to call on me now and it seemed lik

  • The Cursed Alpha    The Tree Would Cry If It Could

    VIOLET Could trees cry? If they could, I'm certain this one would. I rained hits on it; elbows, fists, feet, shoulders, the weight of my whole body.“Liya would be mad if her tree dies,” Calvin casually commented. Day ten of my training with Aliya. Four days more and I would return to training with Brian. Brian, whom I hadn't seen in days. We slept in the same cabin, sure. But it was like we had made a pact to avoid each other. When one was in, the other was out. I did not know how to feel about going back to spending time with him. But those were worries for the future.Right now, I gave Liya’s tree a proper beating. I was earlier than usual for training, and she wasn't here yet. She should never have introduced me to it, if she worried about it dying.The mood suddenly changed. Calvin, who was playing with leaves, was instantly alert. “Aliya will not be coming today, we need to go.”Aliya had never missed a day of training, “Did she say that?” “She didn't have to.”I knew then
