Carissa’s POV

Bang!

The crash of the table against the floor distorted the silence in the palace, and for a moment, I suddenly became conscious that I was supposed to be alone. Scratch that.

I wasn't supposed to be at the palace at all.

But right now I was livid. And it was because that wretch, that cursed being, still lived. My hatred had only grown worse every day since she survived the fire.

Who did you think had led those men to the safe?

I, of course. I had been the one. Had they recognized me? Absolutely not. I had drunk just the right amount of the witch’s potion to make them do my bidding and lure them to the secret tunnel and finally to the safe.

I'd watched with pleasure, waiting for the arrow to strike through her heart. I thought I'd savor her blood, run it through my hands, and perhaps even write in it to give the little thing a pitiful memorial worth her value.

But the soldier guards took too long, giving Theodore the right time to attack. I hadn't even seen that one com

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 62

    Chapter 62Theodore's POVI woke up in the healer's tent. My head and my whole body were burning over 100 degrees. I opened my eyes, not even attempting to sit up.The healer pressed a cold cloth on my body.“You're awake.”I said nothing. My head felt heavy without me lifting it.“What happened to me?”The last thing I remembered was pink dust over me in the forest.I remembered the figure in the cloak, but her face was blurry now. Worse still, I remembered her with a strong feeling of familiarity.“You were found almost gone in the forest. Fighting for your life basically. I should be asking you what happened in the forest”“I …”The images flashed in my head. “Argh!”, I responded to the sharp pain. “Calm down. You don't have to remember it now.”“I chased someone down. I don't seem to be able to remember who it was but…”I paused. The image was still blurry even when she looked back.Or had I just been hallucinating?“I think she may be one of us. I knew I was shocked because she

    Carissa's POV I didn't like the chill that came with her voice.“What are they?” I asked in response. “Mysteries are unexplainable occurrences experienced by our ancestors. One of them is called Carvo Aqueto.”“What's that?”I was getting a very unsettling and eerie feeling from the way she spoke, but I didn't dare question her behavior or why her voice was unusually calm.“The mystery says that a wolf could harness so much power it could trap its human form for life.”I shook my head, not wanting to believe my ears.“That's impossible.”“Oh, it is very possible,” she said, her eyes wider than an owl’s. Like they were about to pop out of her eye sockets.“Especially with our good friend Violetta. That's why I need you to be on watch. You will monitor her every move. Any sign of her getting stronger, you report to me. Then at the right time, we feed her.”Her evil grin unnerved me, and immediately she took her eyes off the bottle; it was like she was a totally different person.“That

    Violetta's POV By noon, the healer wasn't back yet. I had questions for her, which explained why I was making frequent visits to her tent.I exhaled; coupled with that, I was also cold. On my way to Theodore's room, I heard a voice from one of the rooms that made me stop. I took a few steps back. There was a small space on the door where the voice, or scratch that, voices, were coming from.I stood at the far end of the door, where it was attached to the wall, pressing myself against it to listen.I didn't know who Nolan was talking to, but the voice responding was lighter and familiar, like a woman's.“Why did you go back to her? You don't think I am Luna material enough for you?”“It's not that. This is about the prophecy, ok? My mum is hell-bent on getting an heir from Violetta.”I gasped. So that was her motive? That was why she wanted me to take Nolan back so badly.“So what? You're going to go on your knees and beg her. An Alpha like you.”“Enough!” Nolan exclaimed. “I'm done w

    Violetta's POVI closed my eyes, trying to push my tears back. That wasn't enough.“What about the others? What about other people who may try to hurt me? I'm useless at protecting myself. Caleb was right. Caleb is right. I attract doom everywhere I go.”The tears came down my cheek. “Hey.”His hands moved my head slowly so I faced his direction. He came closer, caressing my right cheek with his thumb. My heart started racing again, and I felt hot from his touch immediately. I could hear my wolf purring, savoring the ethereal moment between us.“Listen.”His voice was deep but light, and I stared as intently as he stared back.“Caleb is wrong. You’re special. You just need time to harness your abilities.”“I don't even have a wolf.”“Shh,” he said, placing his middle finger on my lips. I melted inside.“Everyone has a wolf. It will come around someday. I know it will.”I shook my head, taking his hand off me. “No, I don't want to someday. I want it now, and I need you to help me.”“He

    Violetta's POV I knew that signature like the back of my palm. No one knew it better than me. But I wanted to be sure, to make sure I wasn't seeing things, so I looked at the letter closely.“S.C.” with the signature on it. It was my mother's without a doubt. So my mother had written a letter to this woman called Avina?Why? Who was she?I looked at the letter again. Maybe it was time I knew more about my mother. I wrapped the letter and placed it in the pocket of my cottage skirt. I changed my mind about the banquet hall and rushed to the healer's tent instead.Unluckily for me, she hadn't returned yet.“I thought you were coming for breakfast.”I froze. It was Theodore.I wondered how he always managed to find me.“I was. I …needed something from her.”“She won't be back till evening today. Breakfast is still on, though.”Having no choice but to wait, I made my way to the banquet hall, which I'd have completely missed if he hadn't shown me the way. He left me to go and train with

    Theodore's POV I noticed how disturbed she was. That was why I got out of bed. I thought maybe then she'd sleep off easily.“You look like you need some sleep. I'm going for a jog so you have the whole bed to yourself.”“Oh,” she said, looking away. Her elbows rested on the barricade, hands holding the blanket I got for her.Silence enveloped us, and it was absolutely sickening. I watched her demeanor, how she changed her stance every three minutes, and how she walked to the edge in intervals, like there was some sort of comfort there. Finally, she took a seat on one of the outdoor sofas.The trees rustled in the distance. I'd always loved the place for the views, even as a child.“You know, I saw a monster once in those trees when I was little.”“What kind of monster?” she asked.“A green giant one”I glanced at her. She was smiling, not largely, but I could see it on her face—the faint line that grew a centimeter longer.“I saw a monster once. I hid under my bed, and when it was mo
