INICIAR SESIÓNVioletta’s POV.We sat in the square, watching as Luna Theresa was escorted in, clad in plain, non-silk clothes. It was her day of reckoning, and unfortunately for her, it wasn’t a good one.The guards shoved her to her knees before a table, and although she tried hard to hide it, I definitely saw the trembling of her fingers as the chief elder began to read out her crimes and expected punishment.“For all the crimes listed, the worst being the death of our former beloved Alpha, we sentence the former Mother Luna, Theresa, to death by self-poisoning. This shall serve as a warning to all others.”The crowd burst into thick murmurs as everyone pointed accusing and mocking fingers at her. But she was Luna Theresa; she wasn’t about to die without an entrance. “Do you all think you’re better than me? Pure saints of nobility, is that it? Is that why you believe you have the right to judge me? Go ahead and try to take my position, and let's see how well you can resist the temptations that
Violetta’s POV“What?” He asked, startled. I smiled, not surprised by his reaction.“Violetta, are you certain by your words? I mean, they’re pretty heavy.”I nodded. “Of course. I found this letter a while back, but I didn’t know what use it was, so I just left it lying around until this maid, formerly under Luna Theresa, came to me, exposing everything about it.”His eyes widened again at my words. “So you mean this was a letter from your mother to mine trying to warn her of Luna Theresa’s plan against her life?”I took a deep breath, nodding. “Exactly, a gesture which eventually led to the destruction of her life.”“Oh my goodness, Violetta. I—I’m so sorry about this.”“Oh no, you have nothing to apologize for; my mother did the right thing. Unfortunately, we have people like Luna Theresa around us.”He stared at me with such softness that it made me want to melt. We remained in that position for what felt like an eternity until I forced myself back to reality by feigning a cough
Theodore’s POV“I know that was a bit harsh for Nolan. I want you to know that I didn’t mean it, I just needed something that’ll hurt her as much as I am hurting.” I quickly whispered into her ear as we walked out of the dungeon. “You don’t need to explain it to me. I know exactly what your intentions were. Besides, she needed to hear it. She deserves it. Now we need to focus on gathering all the evidence we can use to bring an end to her.”I replied just as we turned onto the hallway leading to my room. I held onto her tightly, still reeling from the private moment we had earlier. They couldn’t contain the happiness that swirled through me.The moment we got close, the door flung open and I was met with Caleb who stared at me as if there was something serious going on. Violetta pulled away from me quickly, drawing a surprise gasp from my lips.“Violetta?” I murmured.“Sorry, old habits.” She whispered nervously.Although she had given me an answer to my question, I guess she wasn’t
Luna Theresa’s POV“Take this disgusting food away from me and call me Theodore and Violetta right now.” I yelled, tossing the tray of food on the ground. My fists pressed together angrily as I thought about their audacity. How dare they lock me up like some toothless animal?How dare they treat me in such a disrespectful manner?No matter what happens, I’m still the mother Luna and I deserve that respect and those little children have no right to do whatever they like to me. “I swear, I’m going to kill them. I’m going to make them regret this madness.” I yelled, not caring if anyone was hearing me. “If she doesn’t want to eat, take the food away. She doesn’t deserve it anyway.”I heard a voice call out from outside and when I turned, I was met with none other than the two people I hated most. I slammed my hand hard against the cell door. “Take me out of here this instant. How dare you lock me up like some good-for-nothing criminal, huh?”They sneered before Violetta leaned in. “
Violetta’s POV“How do you feel? How have you been all this time? It’s been so long since I set eyes on you.” Theodore asked gently, his palm settled on my face. It’s been so long since we had been apart, but I didn’t even seem to have words to express myself at that moment. He sighed, shaking his head sorrowfully. “I know I messed up big time. There’s no excuse for what I did that day, but—.”“Sheesshh.” I pressed my fingers against his lips. I knew why he acted that way and had heard all of it, so I wasn’t about to let him blame himself for any reason. “I’m fine, Theodore. You don’t need to apologize because the healer has told me all of it.”He stared at me in surprise. “Really? She told you everything?”I nodded. “So you know that I didn’t push you intentionally?” “Yes, Theodore. I know it wasn't intentional but a result of the evil perpetuated by Luna Theresa.”“Oh Violetta, you have no idea how happy I am to hear those words. I am so very happy.”He said happily, raising me
Carissa’s POV.I stood in the cell, my hands shaking beside me as I thought of all that had happened in the twinkle of an eye. My throat felt as dry as sand from all the screaming I paid to that evil creature, Violetta. “Tch.” I scoffed, still finding it hard to believe what she had done. She set me up, and I stupidly fell for it, exposing my own crimes to the very people who weren’t supposed to hear about it.She stood there watching me destroy my life and didn’t even bother to stop me. “Violetta, you’re completely evil,” I murmured, squeezing my cloak tightly beside me. I couldn’t even believe my eyes. The reality that I was outsmarted by her and my life was about to be on the line because of her made my blood boil. She was still meek a few moons earlier; how did she get this daring right under my nose? First, they had my father’s life hanging by a thread, and then she almost hurt my son. The last somewhat effective card I had up my sleeve. How could Violetta be the downfall o
