Violet froze."I didn't want to believe at first, but it couldn't be anyone else." "What do you mean, Gwen?" Violet asked."I never thought you'd be able to do something like that to us, Violet. But when the rumors started to be about you, I kind of put the pieces together. You did this because you fell in love, wasn't it?" Gwen said with disappointment.Violet looked at her without knowing what to say."Of course not. I did it because I have principles." Violet said."Principles…" Gwen disdained. "We gave you a good life, didn't we? You were raised like my sister, you had the same things that I did. Isn't gratitude one of your principles? How could you do this to me? You ruined my life." Her eyes were full of tears as she exploded towards Violet.Violet had so many things to say, but she couldn't find the right words. She didn't expect that Gwen would treat her like that.Of course she was sad, it was understandable, but Violet didn't really have a choice. It didn't make everything

Violet and Jack returned to the house after the sunset. She was feeling much better and the view of the sea made her day much better than she expected it would be.Jack said he would go to the supermarket to buy something to cook for dinner while she showered.Violet felt mesmerized when she saw that the bathroom had a bathtub, so she took a really long bath, just thinking about life and enjoying the silence.She did not remember a day where she could simply appreciate how good it was to just hear the sound of her breathing.The noises of pans slamming on the kitchen took her out of her daydream. Jack was probably back and was now cooking for them.She got out of the tub and dried her long blonde hair. She opened her bag and took a very comfy dress from it and the red lingerie fell off from it on the process.Violet looked at it for a few seconds, rethinking about her conversation with Lucinda earlier. She did want to feel powerful and in control.She wanted to enjoy her moments with

Violet wasn't sure if she really wanted to hear his answer, but she wanted to have at least an idea about what the future would hold."Honestly, I still think we're going to face a lot. Gwen is clearly not someone that has experience with being an Alpha. If she listens to the wrong people, the Diamond Pack could fall into the wrong hands again.""I haven't thought about that." Violet confessed."Yeah, well… Apparently, there were a lot of people working for Arden for years. He wasn't a lone wolf. If he really bribed all these people from other packs, we have no idea what he's capable of.""What do you mean? What do you think it could happen?""We don't know where Arden is. If he really has people by his side, he could be hidden somewhere. He could plan to come back. I don't know." Jack said taking another sip from the wine."Come back? Why would he come back knowing that everyone is after him, the entire pack hates him and society doesn't accept him anymore?" Violet asked in shock.Tha

Violet's stomach started to burn.Who could it be? Was it someone she knew?What was going to happen to him?"Where's Jack?" Morgana asked the man, still holding him by his collar."Upstairs. His office." Morgana released him, who tried to pretend that didn't get scared by her, and Violet finally followed her to Jack's office.Morgana entered the room without even knocking, something that Violet thought Jack wasn't going to like.But again, Morgana could be pretty scary when she wanted to, and given the latest facts, Jack was probably too busy to care."Jack, what happened? They said someone was caught." Morgana asked as soon as she entered.Jack was seated on his usual chair with a glass of whisky on his hand.There were also two other men that Violet didn't know inside the office.Apparently, they were giving information to their leader, but when the ladies entered, Jack asked them to leave."They just told me what is happening on the Diamond Pack." Jack started after the men left,

The square was full of people. Violet, Jack and the others found a place to stay and watch the trial.There was a sort of stage at one part and people were gathered around it. A few men with suits were already up there, but there was no sign of anyone that Violet knew.Not Gwen, Harry or even the traitor himself.Violet kept looking around to see if the group of troublemakers had been able to reach to the square, but there was no sign of them yet.As the minutes passed, everyone started to get impatient. People started to scream, asking for the judgement to begin.That's when Violet saw Gwen coming out with a bunch of guards around her, like she was a queen or something.Not even Arden used to walk like that. But since the situation was a bit dangerous and unstable, maybe she was doing that to protect herself from the rebels.A few steps behind her, other guards showed up dragging a man by his arms, and even though his face was full of blood and his clothes were dirty, Violet didn't re
