Chapter Eleven: Pains Of Regret

"Violet…" Nick whispered helplessly. The girl he liked or perhaps, loved so much was standing face to face with a big wolf, and it felt like he was living through a nightmare at that moment. Never had Nick seen a wolf so up close before, but now, here he was not more than seven feet away from one, and Violet, not more than eight inches away. He warily watched her as she stood petrified with fear and suddenly felt the painful stab of regret. Regret for ever making her come with him.

"Violet…step back," he whispered louder, desperation laced in his voice, but Violet couldn't register his words. She sobbed internally, tears staining her pale face and blurring her vision.

The grey wolf seemed to observe her for a while, seemingly confused at something, but when she stepped backwards, the beast bared its teeth and growled. Warning her to not take any more steps. Nick felt the blood drain from his face and Violet froze in place. A choking sob rose in her throat as realization hit her hard.
