Violet

Nate wasn’t aware, so his question came out sounding gentle and innocent, but it still hit something deep in me.

It wasn’t his fault that he didn’t know the truth, or that I couldn’t tell him the reason I cared so much was because I was one of them. Well, not exactly, but enough that I felt their suffering as my own.

It wasn’t really personal. It was just another way to keep myself safe, and when Kylan suggested it, I agreed. It hurt because Nate was one of the few people I trusted, and yet here I was, still holding back something so big. Kylan’s eyes pierced into mine, but I didn’t know what it meant. I didn’t know if he was encouraging me to make my own decision or to make the smart decision. I had a pretty good sense that while he trusted Nate enough to come with us to the mountains, he didn’t trust him enough to handle the truth about my identity.

Nate shifted a bit, desperate to meet my gaze. “Well?”

I released a gulp, but quickly played it off with a light smile. “I care

  • The Lycan Prince’s Puppy   Chapter 248

    VioletIt was him.It could only be him.I sucked in a breath as I stared at the tall figure, waiting for him to disappear, but he didn’t. There was a smile plastered across his face which I couldn’t fully tell if it was warm or sad, maybe both.All I knew was that this was him, and there was no question about it.I drew in a shaky breath. “Alaric?” My voice was barely above a whisper. A relieved breath came from his lips, and he nodded once, his eyes never leaving mine.“Dad?”He exhaled, then broke into a wide, almost disbelieving smile. “Yes, I’m your dad,” he nodded again. “We have met before.”The flashes returned from another dream, the one I had in Starlight, where I found myself in the same place. Back then, a voice told me I wasn’t supposed to be there. Then I remembered him holding me as a baby through Adelaide’s eyes.We had met before, and that’s why he felt so safe and familiar.“I know,” I whispered back. The moment he stepped closer, it felt like the ground had disappea

  • The Lycan Prince’s Puppy   Chapter 247

    VioletI bit into the Lyperian donut Nate just couldn’t stop gushing about for the past few hours, the sugar melting across my tongue.“And?” Nate asked eagerly.I stared at him with a flustered look, humming in annoyance. My cheeks were still stuffed full, and I hadn’t even swallowed yet. “Give me a second!”After Nate had made it very clear that going back to embroidery was definitely not an option, we had decided to spend the rest of the afternoon together. The girls had joined us later with all kinds of questions about the council meeting, and Nate had shown us every corner of the palace.He had introduced us to a couple of the chefs he seemed unusually close with, and even insisted we stop by some of the mistresses and their siblings. After that, we had dinner, and then we all parted ways, though Nate was kind enough to escort me back to my room.“You are right,” I licked my lips once my mouth was finally empty. “It is really sweet.”“Told you,” Nate grinned. “Just like you.”My

    VioletI found myself standing in the chamber room again, right on the exact spot where I had stood earlier, speaking to the council. The votes were in now, and I was just about to hear the results.Though, I already had a good feeling that all went well. It wasn’t that hard to guess.King Elyx sat in his seat with his jaw clenched, glaring at me with that same cold look that never quite seemed to leave his face. Kylan, on the other hand, looked far too pleased. His expression was still as calm as it had been when I left the chamber, like he had expected this outcome all along.He looked at me with steady, reassuring eyes as I took a breath and waited.“Violet,” Beta Jack stepped forward from beside the king’s chair. He cleared his throat and straightened the paper in his hands. “The council has listened to your request,” he said, “and agreed to approve your proposal for aid.”I sighed slowly, feeling the tension leave my shoulders.“We will spread the word at court, gather medicine,

    VioletI still held his gaze.Even when everything in me wanted to look away, I didn’t. My chin was lifted, and my hands calm at my sides, but the anger bubbling in my chest was hard to hide.Because the longer I looked at him, the more everything came back. And this time, all of it.I thought of my parents, and the day they were surrounded, helpless. I thought of how the Alpha King struck, and no one lifted a single hand to stop it. He had been there, betrayed them. He had seen it. Let it happen until it was already too late.Even back then, he had that same unbothered, detached look on his face like he did right now.Like none of it mattered.All that talk about an unfamiliar face?My name is Violet, and he was the one who gave it to me.He released a loud scoff. So loud, my muscles tensed at the sound. For a second, I wondered what he would say. If he would try to belittle me, cut me off, or call this a waste of time. But instead, he leaned back lazily and waved his hand in the air

  • The Lycan Prince’s Puppy   Chapter 243

    VioletAfter a long walk, Nate and I ended up at two heavy wooden doors of the council chamber, and we waited in the quiet hall. Well, it wasn’t completely quiet, because I could hear a muffled voice coming from the inside.Most likely, someone was in there already, standing before the council to make a request, deliver a report, or plead their case. Whatever it was, it reminded me that my turn was next.The scariest part was knowing something waited for me on the other side, but not knowing what. All I knew was that I would have to speak, use my voice, and that Kylan would be there. But so would the king, and I couldn’t mess it up.Nate stood beside me. He leaned against the wall in quiet support, and I was grateful that he stayed.I could have asked him all the questions that were on my mind. Questions about who would be there, how it would go, what to expect. But I didn’t ask, because I knew it would only make me doubt myself.“You seem to be getting along well with Lian and Sora.”
