VioletDad’s glare softened into something else as his eyes landed on Dylan. For a second, he gave him that same puzzled look he had given me, which made me wonder if he truly had no clue who we were.Another wave of warmth hit my chest just by watching him. He wasn’t looking at me anymore, which gave me this strange freedom to stare, remember, and think about what I had lost. I wanted to hold on to the sight of him for as long as I could, let my eyes trace every line and detail I had forgotten before it faded away again.There was one thing I had never forgotten about him, and that was his auburn shade of hair I used to love so much. It was the same color as my favorite doll’s hair, the one I still kept and was tucked safely away in my room at Starlight.Funny enough, his eyes were that same warm shade. I used to compare them all the time, tugging a strand of his hair and holding it beside his eye just to see how perfectly it matched. Thinking about it, I could only imagine how annoy

VioletKylan couldn’t laugh this time, but neither could I. I had almost forgotten that Dylan also used to be a real pain in the ass.Dad cleared his throat, trying to change the subject, but Kylan decided to play along. “Really?” he said. “What makes you say that?”Little Dylan shrugged. “I just told you. It’s that look in your eyes.”Before Kylan could respond, the younger girl had already slammed her tiny hands on the table, standing on her toes to speak up. “No, he doesn’t look Lyperian!” she defended. “Uncle Ewan always says the Lyperians are ugly, remember?”“Yes, from the inside—stupid.”“You are stupid, Dork Face!”Dylan and I glanced at each other, both biting back a laugh.Dork Face?Could I really not have come up with something better?“Kids!” Dad scolded, ruffling our hair with a sigh. “Violet, sit down.” He then looked at Kylan. “Sorry about that.”“It’s fine,” Kylan replied calmly, though I could tell he was holding himself back. If those two had known each other as chi

Violet“Violet,” I said softly, leaning closer. Kylan’s eyes were locked on mine, but he still held on to Little Violet. “You said Thorne is preparing…right? Do you know what for? What are Baelor and Gloria planning?”Little Violet blinked slowly, her breathing uneven. “Baelor…” she whispered. “He wants to open the gate.”“The gate?” Kylan repeated. “What gate?”“The one Mommy talks about when she thinks I’m asleep,” she said. “The ghost with the black hair keeps the monsters in. I see her too sometimes when I pretend to sleep, but she is not scary,” she rambled. “She always touches my hair and sings to me, b-but I haven’t seen her lately.”The girl with the black hair…That had to be Adelaide.Kylan met my gaze, and I felt a flutter in my chest. There were just so many things I couldn’t remember anymore, such as Adelaide showing herself to me before. That wasn’t something I ever wanted to forget.“If you’re not going to cry, you need to focus, Violet,” Kylan reminded me. “Try to ask

VioletI didn’t expect Kylan to tell him that, and did not really know why he did, but by the smile on Dad’s face, I could tell he appreciated those words. It meant a lot to him.“You seem like a good kid…a good man who takes care of his mate,” Dad spoke in response. He scratched his jaw like he wasn’t totally sure how to say the rest, but the message had come across. He had not spent much time with Kylan, but he approved of him, and he wanted him to know.“Same goes for you,” he then nodded his head toward Dylan.“I disagree,” little Dylan cut in, spilling his opinion even though no one asked for it. He scoffed. “I think both misses could do better, and they should run while they still have the ch—”Dad put his hand over Dylan’s mouth. All we heard after that were muffled sounds.“Like I said. The Moon Goddess has done a good job.” Dad smiled, calm and proud. There was a brief silence again as Dad’s eyes searched mine.“Will we see you again?”My chest tightened. He wasn’t asking it

VioletThe moment the guards opened the doors to the throne room, there was a slow creaking sound, and every head inside snapped toward us. All the noise and chatter that filled the room a second before had disappeared.I held onto Kylan as I scanned the room, taking in all the faces. The council members and the royals, including the mistresses and their children. Before I knew it, my eyes found him.Kayden…He sat in front of his siblings, but he wasn’t looking at me. He stared down at the marble floor beneath his feet, and yet…the corner of his mouth curled.It was a silent smirk, but also a silent acknowledgment. He was still enjoying whatever game he thought he was playing, and after hearing from Little Violet what he had planned for not only him, but maybe Kylan as well, I knew that whatever he was planning for the full moon must’ve been big.Would he have been in contact with Gloria as well?Thorne was nowhere near him, and neither was Camille. Understandable, since this seemed
