Luna Theresa’s POV.“Who was that?” he asked as I walked back into the room.“Who else? It was your daughter; she came bearing news. Apparently, a very important one.”He shot up, interest piqued. “Hope she doesn’t know I’m here?”I stared back at him with disdain. “Because I’m foolish or what? Is that what you mean?”He looked away shamefully. “Forgive me, your graciousness. I didn’t mean to sound like that.”I looked away from him; his stupidity was the least of my problems.“If you’re so worried about being caught, why are you even doing this?” He turned to me, eyes alert.“Come on, you know why I’m doing this.”“I really don’t; I think you need to enlighten me more, Beta John. If you’re so scared of that excuse of a wife you have and that daughter of yours finding out about the nights you spend ruffling my sheets, why not just stop?”“Come on, Theresa.” I flashed him a deadly stare.“My bad. Forgive me again. It just slipped out.”Then he walked closer to me. “But you know I am do
Theodore’s POV.Days passed, and I had the urge to go back to the healer for my quest. I knew she knew more than she was letting on, and I needed to try to find out any semblance of truth from her about the necklace.However, when I got to her hut, she was nowhere in sight. I waited for a bit, and when she still didn’t return, I decided to leave.But on my way out, I got the urge to check the path to the forest; something told me that I could find her there, so I made my way to the forest.And sure enough, when she went into the deep forest, there she was picking herbs for her medicinal purposes.I greeted her softly, aiming to win her over.She stared at me, looking as if she could already guess the reason for my presence.“I did not know anything, Sir Theodore. Please stop coming to me for answers.”I sighed. “But you did not even know why I’m here.”She whipped her head to me again. “I know it is because of the necklace, the one I told you to give up on. And like I told you the las
Violetta’s POV.My pulse raced within me as fingers glided down my skin. Hot and demanding.The wild spark of my wolf clawed at me as I watched Theodore on his knees, placing soft kisses on my bare skin.“You’re beautiful.” He breathed softly, locking his gaze on mine.I swallowed but couldn’t find fitting words for a reply. When he finally got up, he stood face-to-face with me. I ran my eyes over his bare skin fully for the first time.And it was a sight to behold.He pulled me close again, crushing his lips onto mine. This time harder.I staggered on my feet, trying to keep up with his rough holds. He lay me gently on the bed, my wolf purring throughout.“Are you ready, Violetta?” His voice was smoother than I had ever heard it. “Theodore.” I mouthed, getting intoxicated with his touch. “Yeah.” He replied in kind.“Yes. I’m ready.”Then the next moment that followed, my whole body ripped into a puddle of its own warmth as the blinding wave of pleasure hit me. “Violetta.” He le
Violetta’s POV“Remember, Violetta. You control her; you control everything around you. Nothing controls you.Focus your energy and command her to show forth.”The evening air clasped against my skin, mixed with a lingering sense of the rain.My breathing hit against my chest as I tried to focus on Theodore’s every word.Then I felt it. My body is going from warm to extremely hot.My feet started to tingle, and every hair on my body felt like it was standing on end.My heartbeat increased, hitting against my ribs as if to crush them.I staggered, almost falling to my feet.“Don’t you dare fall, don’t let’s go, Violetta. You must hold on and control.”“But—.” I cried.“But nothing— Own it. You’re the master. Focus your energy and control all your emotions. Let go of your weaknesses and pains, Violetta.”He came closer, standing right behind me.I could feel his breath drawing up my body.So I focused my energy. Letting go of all weak thoughts and pains.“Channel all that energy the rig
Violetta’s POV“Excuse me?” I yelled.He laughed. “You want to deny that it happened?”“What the hell are you talking about?”“You know what I’m talking about; stop pretending. I saw you and Nolan kissing at the top of the mountain just a few days ago.”Then it hit me. “Is that why you’ve been avoiding me? Because you think I kissed Nolan?”“Not think. I know you did. I saw it.”I laughed dryly. “You know, I don’t know what you think you saw, but nothing like that ever happened. Not that I owe you any sort of explanation, though.”He scoffed. “Of course. You owe me no explanation. Do whatever you want. I should have listened when he first warned me.”He said that, and before I could put in another word, he walked out.“Me, kissing Nolan? Where in the hell did that come from?” I whispered to myself.The next few days that followed were uncomfortably quiet. It was so bad that I basically spent most of my time with the healer.Each time I saw Theodore, I could see the judgments on his fa
Nolan’s POVI watched as Theodore clenched his fist, turned, and walked away out of anger, and I knew my plan had worked.After he left, I pushed the maid off me. “Get out, and lose that dress immediately.”“Yes, your Almightiness.” She said, bowing before taking her leave.My throne was on the line if I didn’t get Violetta to give me an heir. I do think that my mother will never betray me and would always have my best interest at heart, but knowing her personality, I couldn’t keep testing her patience. She had even brought Beta John back into the palace, and I knew she did it as a silent warning to me.She wanted an heir from Violetta, one that I knew would secure my position from her claws, so I had to do anything and everything to get Violetta close to me. Pregnant.Since Violetta and Theodore were refusing to let go of each other, I knew I had to force the separation.So I came up with the brilliant idea of copying a few of her clothes, hoping that she would wear one similar to w
