“Smile!” the photographer called out.

I wrapped my arms around Claire, pulling her closer, and gave my best smile for the camera. It was the best I could do. After all, this group picture would be hanging on the walls of Lunar Hall. The bright flash went off, and for a split second, his face appeared in my mind—Alaric.

I blinked, trying to shake the thought away. His personality, his presence…there was something unique about him that I had never seen before in anyone. His glow, his kindness, his innocence—and Mom wanted me to destroy that.

It had already been a few weeks since I’d last seen him, and I had been doing everything I could to avoid him. Honestly, it wasn’t that difficult. Alaric was mostly surrounded by guards, and even if he wasn’t—I was sure he’d respectfully just stay out of my way.

Maybe I was insane, but I wanted to be around him—and at the same time, I knew I couldn’t because I had to protect him.

Every time he was near, I could sense it somehow. It didn’t m

  • The Lycan Prince’s Puppy   Chapter 234

    VioletKylan’s body stiffened. His hand slipped off the door handle, and his eyes went big as he turned around all the way.“What did you just say?” he asked, stunned.I gulped, knowing it was not exactly what he wanted to hear, but he was the one who told me not to lie to him again. My heart was beating out of my chest, but I held his gaze.“You told me to be honest with you,” I said, my voice steady. “So I’m being honest.”Even as the words left me, my mind was spinning. I didn’t want to go against Kylan, and I didn’t want to provoke him or turn this into something ugly. As a matter of fact, it had always been hard for me to be open about what I wanted, and what I believed in. I had spent most of my life watering myself down so I wouldn’t scare anyone off.But Kylan had told me to be real…So I was being real, and yes, I was shitting myself.Kylan looked down at his balled fist, then slowly opened it. “My hand,” he said, “could be wrapped around Kayden’s throat at this very second.”

  • The Lycan Prince’s Puppy   Chapter 233

    VioletMy heart dropped the second the question hit me. I knew I gave him very good reasons to believe so, but he really thought I trusted Kayden over him. Kayden…He still didn’t yell, didn’t storm off, but just stared into my eyes as he asked questions he feared he already knew the answer to. That’s the part that broke me.The thing I had broken wasn’t just some stupid rule or his promise. It was his trust, and there was one thing I needed to clear up. Not because he clearly didn’t want to talk before whatever this was, was handled, but because I owed it to him.“I do trust you,” I whispered. My voice felt dry and tight.He didn’t say anything. All he did was give me that observing look again. The one where he tried searching every corner of my face, looking for lies.And as he kept staring at me, a thousand thoughts were in my mind. Thoughts I couldn’t help because that was just the way I functioned.Was he going to decide I wasn’t trustworthy, and take back his love?Does he hate

  • The Lycan Prince’s Puppy   Chapter 232

    Violet“He knows,” I breathed.I looked at Kylan for a long moment, just studying him the way he always studied me as I looked for signs. To be honest, I didn’t even know what I was looking for.Maybe a twitch, or a shift, or anything to tell me how bad this was going to be. Was he angry?He looked angry. But I wasn’t sure.Was this the part I had been so afraid of? Where the one person I had been leaning on the most would finally call me stupid?Kylan’s jaw flexed. He pulled in a breath through his nose, clearly trying not to snap, and then he…smiled. His lips curled into a tight smile, and his hand slowly rested on my thigh.“And when did this happen?” he asked. His tone was gentle but tense. He didn’t need to tell me that he was hurt, and he didn’t have to try and hide it either, because I could clearly tell. It had affected him.“It was the first day I got here,” I came clean, my voice small. “That morning I went to Madam Renata. I got overwhelmed, had a panic attack, and my eyes…

  • The Lycan Prince’s Puppy   Chapter 231

    VioletI didn’t say anything at first.Mostly because…I didn’t know how to answer.Kylan was watching me. He looked calm, patient, but I could tell by his expression that he was trying to figure out if I even knew what was going on.And honestly? I didn’t.I didn’t know when it changed.Or how we suddenly got there.Or why Kayden started calling me by that name.I shifted a little, thinking maybe something would come to mind if I just gave it a second. But nothing did. Nothing I could explain, at least.Kylan didn’t push. He just kept looking at me until I let out a long sigh.“That’s a really good question,” I agreed.He let out a soft chuckle. “Right?”His finger moved to my chin, and he forced me to look up into those eyes that suddenly looked warm again.“That’s what I’ve been trying to figure out,” I said, smiling.“So, do I tell him to stop calling you that, or will you?” Kylan asked. He cupped my cheek and leaned in, pressing his lips to mine. Soft, quick kisses, one after anot

  • The Lycan Prince’s Puppy   Chapter 230

    VioletI counted down the seconds as Kylan got closer.Five…Four…A deep breath came from within, though I wasn’t sure what I was bracing for. His eyes were full of fury, but Kylan wasn’t seriously about to slap his own brother in a wheelchair, right? Over…a cloak?Three…Two…But then, the car door behind us opened again. First Nate stepped out, then Dylan, then… Fergus? My eyes widened in surprise. Why was he with him?Kylan froze mid-step, and his head slowly turned toward the car. He seemed ready to attack, but the moment they stepped out, something shifted. There was something that had made him decide against it.“Violet, you’re back!”Trinity?I was shocked as she walked up the path with Lian and Sora right behind her. Her eyes were locked on me, full of worry. Meanwhile, Dylan, who had just stepped out of the car, didn’t waste a second and moved to Trinity like she was the only thing that mattered.Even Kayden’s maid had suddenly appeared from wherever she had been hiding, her

  • The Lycan Prince’s Puppy   Chapter 229

    VioletThere was something strange about the way it sounded in my ears—what I’m allowed to share. He made it seem like someone was watching… pulling the strings.I didn’t know if he was trying to sound cryptic on purpose, or if he really believed in something bigger than himself. Either way, it made a chill run through me.Because who would even decide something like that? Varius? That raven, Thorne?“Kian has one goal,” Kayden began. “Kian wants to make the world a better place. A world where no one’s treated less because of their blood, their species…their power, their past, or even their body.”He paused for a moment as he took a deep breath. “When Kian is in control, there will be no more fighting, no jealousy.”I frowned behind his back, trying to make sense of his words. Why was he speaking in third person anyway?Wasn’t he Kian?I swallowed down the lump forming in my throat. Kayden was somewhat bearable, but this Kian person sounded like a nightmare. I knew it was Varius or Th
