Aria’s POV

I should have known breakfast was going to be a disaster. The moment I walked into the dining hall, I found Lucien and Jasper already waiting for me. Both of them looked up at the exact same time and smiled at me. Then stood up walking my way. I stopped walking. Oh no…

“Good morning, little one,” Lucien said.

“Morning, little nightmare,” Jasper said at almost the exact same time.

I looked between them. They looked at each other. The tension was immediate. I sighed.

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    My punishment

    Archer’s POV:The training hall was empty. That was exactly how I wanted it. I needed the silence. I needed somewhere I could think without hearing everyone else’s voices, without seeing Aria walking through the halls with Jasper and Lucien, without being reminded of everything I’d lost.Silence had its own way of becoming deafening. I slammed my fist into the punching bag. The chain above it rattled violently. Again. Another punch. Again.I kept going until my knuckles burned and my breathing became heavy. It didn’t help. Nothing did anymore. Aria’s words kept replaying in my head. I didn’t choose Lucien or Jasper. But you chose Lorie. I had.That was the part I couldn’t escape. I had chosen Lorie. Not because I wanted her. Not because I loved her. Not because she was my mate. I’d done it because I’d been afraid.Afraid of what would happen to Aria if Lorie told everyone what she’d seen. Afraid of what the council would do to her. Afraid of what would happen if the truth about Aria f

I sighed.“Good morning to both of you.” I sat down between them.For approximately thirty seconds, everything was peaceful. Then Jasper pushed a plate toward me.“I got you breakfast.” Lucien immediately slid another plate in front of me.“So did I.” I stared at both plates.“You didn’t have to.”“I know,” Jasper said.“I wanted to,” Lucien added.I smiled awkwardly. “Thank you.”I reached for a piece of fruit. Two hands reached for the same time. Jasper and Lucien both stopped. Their eyes met.“I was going to give that

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    I’m sorry

    Jasper’s POV:Three miserable, agonizing days. That was how long I’d gone without really speaking to Aria. Every single day had been worse than the one before it.I’d tried to convince myself that giving her space was the right thing to do. That maybe she needed time to process everything. That maybe I needed time to accept that I wasn’t the only person bound to her. But the truth was much simpler.I missed her. I missed her laugh. I missed the way she looked at me when she thought I wasn’t paying attention. I missed the warmth of her body against mine and the quiet comfort that came whenever she was near. Most of all, I missed the connection between us.The mate bond hadn’t weakened because we’d fought. If anything, it had become unbearable. Every emotion she felt brushed against me. Every moment she was upset, I felt the faint echo of it. Every time she thought about me, I knew.I knew she was hurting. Because I was hurting too. I had spent three days torturing myself with the words

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    You chose her

    Aria’s POV:Two days…It had been two days since Jasper found out about Lucien. Two days since I had watched the hurt spread across his face after Lucien called me his mate. And two days since Jasper had walked away from me.The worst part was the bond. It wouldn’t let me forget him. Every hour of every day, I could feel the distance between us like an ache beneath my skin. The bond kept tugging at me, urging me toward him, telling me to fix what I’d broken. But every time I thought about going to him, I heard his voice again.Out of all the mates I could have got, I got one I have to share.The words still hurt. I knew he’d regretted them. I could feel it through the bond. But regret didn’t make them disappear. I pushed my fork around my plate without actually eating anything.The courtyard was crowded with students enjoying their lunch, but I barely noticed them. My mind was somewhere else entirely. How was I supposed to fix this?I hadn’t asked for three mates. I hadn’t chosen Jasp

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    When hope instantly dies

    Archer’s POV:The sound of something breaking echoed through the training room. I stopped outside the doors. Another crash followed. Then a string of words that definitely weren’t appropriate for academy grounds. I pushed the door open slowly, wondering what I’d find on the other side. Jasper stood in the middle of the training room, his silver hair falling messily over his forehead. Several practice weapons had been knocked from their racks, and one of the wooden benches had been shoved halfway across the room.For a second, I simply stared at him. I’d never seen the fae heir lose control like this. Jasper was usually composed. Cocky. Annoyingly charming. Even when something pissed him off, he usually wore that infuriating smirk and acted like nothing in the world could touch him. Not today.“What the hell happened to you?” Jasper turned toward me.His blue eyes were blazing. “Leave.”I raised an eyebrow. “That’s not exactly an explanation.”“I said leave, Nightblade.” I stepped far

  • The Girl with the Violet Eyes    Regrets

    Jasper’s POV:I had never been this angry with Aria. That realization alone should have frightened me.I had spent most of my life being the charming one. The flirt. The fae heir who could smile his way out of almost anything. Anger had never been something I carried for long. Why waste energy being furious when a clever remark or a crooked smile could usually get me whatever I wanted?But this wasn’t something I could smile away.This was Aria. My mate. And apparently, I wasn’t the only one. I walked through the hallway without knowing where I was going, my hands clenched at my sides as Lucien’s words replayed over and over in my head.My mate.He had said it so naturally. So possessively.As if I hadn’t been standing there. As if Aria hadn’t already been mine. The thought was unfair, and I knew it. Aria wasn’t property. She had never been property. The bond between us didn’t give me ownership over her, and I would never want it to. But that didn’t make the pain any less real.I’d on
