Semua Bab The Lycan Prince’s Puppy: Bab 551 - Bab 560

VioletTime went by, and by the end of it, everyone knew everything. Rochwall spoke about his past with the Elite Team, Kylan about what happened in Lyperia, Nate about his sister and Sterling about everything but the scroll in his hands.I spoke too. They knew about my identity, Bloodstone Haven, Mom, Dad, who they were, what happened to them, and what Gloria had been doing with them all this time. Baelor and what he was, going all the way back to the beginning.Even Chrystal and the trial had been brought up at some point, and just like that—everyone, mostly Jorn, was up to date.I also told them about my suspicions about the cave, and what might've been above our heads this entire time.The other thing we hadn’t touched in depthwas that thing living inside Kylan. Though after the fight, that part had already become very clear.Jorn took it the hardest. He didn't say much. Not that he could have, with the state he was in, but I watched his face the whole way through and could see h

Violet“He's been expecting you.”Sterling's voice reached me from behind. After some time of walking, we had finally reached the caves. I let go of Kylan's hand and looked farther up the hill.As the entrance came into view, I saw a figure waiting at the mouth of the cave. Even from a distance, I recognized the familiar cloak, his hood down and his hands folded in front of him.Aelius.Suddenly, everything inside me eased at once. It was strange how this cave, and this still scary-looking man who happened to be my grandfather, had somehow become the closest thing to safe I had.I guess every time everything fell apart, this was where we ended up. Me and Kylan. And he was alwaysthere, waiting, just like he had been for Mom. That, together with the talk we'd had the last time I was here, made me feel a little better.It gave me hope.Hope that he'd know what to do, and that Jorn would survive."We need to hurry." I picked up my pace and looked over my shoulder. "Is he still awake?"Jor

KylanWith my back against a tree, I kept my eyes on the temple.I wanted to know what was happening in there. What Violet was doing, what she was thinking, and feeling wasn't enough. I had to see her.I had to know whether Jorn was going to walk out of that place alive.Now I was stuck out here without a single piece of information, and it was all because of Mister Sorcerer. A scoff left me.That Jason had some nerve. Looking me in the eye and putting a hand up to tell me to wait outside like some little boy. That part might've bothered me the most.Valerius stirred within me and let out a growl.'Serves you right.'He was still angry. I had been the one to shove him down and reach for Baelor, the thing that wanted us both dead. In doing so, I had done the exact thing everyone with any sense had warned me about.We were supposed to be a team, and I had moved on my own. I understood, but he'd have to get over it.When I finally agreed to Baelor’s terms, it wasn't a decision I made lig

KylanI let the cart handle slip out of my hand and took her wrists. Valerius had already found his way back. ‘She’s so tired of you, it’s not even worth the argument.’ He said lazily.“I am listening, Violet.”“Not always.” She shook her head. “I love you so much that I do not know what to do without you,” she said, her chest rising and falling with each word. “I cannot live without you,” she swallowed. “I don’t think you fully understand that you’re not only hurting yourself, but you’re hurting me too, and I need you to stop hurting me. Please.”My throat went tight, and my fingers trembled as they traveled to cup her cheek. She placed her hands on my own and pulled me down so she could rest her forehead against mine. “So next time,” she said, “before you decide to do things on your own again...think about me.” She pulled back and looked at me with steady eyes. “Promise me...you’ll at least think about me.”“I’m always thinking about you.” I kissed the tip of her nose and pulled her

VioletMy eyes immediately traveled to the line of Soothsayers gathered near him. It had to be one of them.Aelius took a step forward.“Jason will speak for me,” Aelius said, surprising us with his next words. “Whatever he says, you treat as my own.”A murmur of agreement rolled through the villagers. Nobody looked surprised or offended. They had already expected it. Not even Jason seemed fazed by it.But the real question still remained. Why would Aelius suddenly decide to take a step back? He turned his gaze to me.“Regarding the realm,” he said. “That is not a matter for the village’s voice. It is a matter for the one who is stubborn enough to change what I have seen.”I blinked at him, hoping whatever came next would be one big joke. Why was he looking at me?“I doubted this child once. I am not ashamed to say it.” His voice dropped, gentler than I had ever heard it. “But today she stood in front of death and did not step aside. She was willing to die so that others would not.”T
