Theodore's POV

“Uhhh…”

Violetta quickly caught herself and hurriedly took her hands off me.

Caleb dropped his stuff on the couch, a suspicious and somewhat disgusted look on his face.

“What took you so long?”

He kept silent, pushing one hand into his pocket.

“I had to check the perimeters. Made sure everyone is in place.”

“Good,” I said, walking into the room. Violetta followed behind me. She picked up her blanket, suddenly becoming self-aware as she covered herself. She disappeared into the adjoining room.

“What was that about?” Caleb asked, glancing back at me.

“What was what?”

“Were you two about to kiss?”

“What if we were?” I said, roughly arranging the mattress. I looked at Caleb, and he looked disgusted.

“Cut her some slack, Caleb. She's in the next room.”

“I don't care,” he said but lowered his voice. “That girl is going to get you killed. Don't say I didn't tell you.”

I gave him a look.

“Please, Caleb. Not tonight.”

I lay on my bed, pulling the covers over myself.

    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

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 60

    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

  • The Luna’s Second Life   Chapter 57

    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

    Violetta's POVI stood, staring at the door for a while. The thought of going back to Theodore's room deeply annoyed me. I took another deep breath in, gathering all the ego and calm I could muster. I'd need it to face someone as annoying as Theodore.He opened the door before I got to it, like he knew that I was already there.“Welcome back,” he remarked sarcastically. I didn't respond; I just moved to the room on the left.“Caleb's sleeping there tonight. He's already moved some of his things.”I had a brief moment of relief hearing that because it also meant I wouldn't be alone.But then I realized. I'd have to sleep in the same bed with him.And he wasn't injured anymore.Something seemed to excite me, and I caught hold of myself immediately.“Don’t be pathetic, Violetta. You're done with men.”I set down the clothes I'd picked on the couch. I wanted to change, so I took one of the dresses from the healer and went into the extra room on the right.Just then, Theodore stepped out o
