Semua Bab The Lycan Prince’s Puppy: Bab 571 - Bab 580

VioletI sat on the cold floor of mom and dad’s hut and had been sitting there for hours now.I didn’t know how many, but it felt like forever. It was long enough that my legs had gone stiff underneath me. I had hoped a plan would just come to me, or maybe if I’d stayed quiet enough and looked at the ceiling, the answer might drop into my lap.The pressure was so suffocating, my mind had gone completely numb from it. There was this emptiness, and the harder I pushed, the worse it got.“Please,” I whispered to no one in particular. “Just help me. Please…”My eyes drifted over the scraps of paper spread out on the floor around me. It was two words, three words, and then nothing. Everything had been crossed out. It was like a math problem that needed solving, only I was actually good at math.Every now and then, before I could make things worse for myself, I’d get up from the floor and pace around. The time had come again.I paced around the hut, fidgeting with my hands as deep breaths l

VioletI squeezed my eyes shut for a moment, bracing myself for the judgement. The disappointment, and for everyone in Bloodstone Haven to decide I had officially lost my mind for standing up here and saying we should just let our enemies walk away.As I opened my eyes, I was shocked to see nobody was looking at me like that. They were just watching, curious and waiting for me to keep going.The lump in my throat loosened. After everything I had already told them, they were convinced enough that even this would end up making sense. They had decided to keep believing me.“I know how it sounds,” I said, a relieved smile breaking through. “But this problem isn’t going anywhere. It’ll keep coming back no matter what we do, so at some point…we have to stop patching it and actually deal with it…for good.”It was so strange to say, especially with half of Baelor being inside of Kylan, possibly listening to every word. He was the enemy. The one who had done the most damage.But he was also th

Violet“Violet.”The sound of my name reached my ears again, and my heart seemed to stop in my chest. Because I knew that voice.It was the one I could recognize from anywhere, though I had only heard it a handful of times. That soft, soothing, but still so powerful voice. The one that belonged to…“Mo…” I called out, but the word caught in my throat. The last time I had been in the realm, it had felt exactly like this. I knew it was a nightmare, but it didn’t feel like one at all.I was afraid that making too much noise might give away my presence, and I couldn’t take that chance. Not now.I turned around instead and found myself staring straight into the mouth of ‘that’ cave. From the inside, it was pitch black, not much to see, but I knew this was bad news.I knew it was where they were keeping mom and dad.Would she have called for me with the last bit of strength she had left?My eyes fell shut as I prayed to the Moon Goddess. Just a few more days…If I could only tell her.When

VioletBy the time we passed through the tunnels and stepped out into Bloodstone Haven, the whole place was already awake and moving.Several villagers shot us smiles and greeted us warmly as they walked back and forth. I assumed the others were probably already working, preparing their eyes.I turned my head and stared at the back of the Soothsayer who had also welcomed us the first time after we had left the tunnels. He was a serious man who hadn’t wasted any time on small talk and just told us we needed to follow him.Now he was leading us to the temples. Kylan, Trinity and me.I looked up at the hills again as we went further, and as expected, they were filled with villagers. Both from Bloodstone Haven and the Lyperian mountains. I watched in awe.It was so silent as they sat on the ground, legs crossed and eyes shut.“I wonder what they’re doing,” I whispered.Kylan chuckled beside me. “Who knows.”“Meditating,” Trinity muttered. “Dylan told me they spent all of yesterday staring

VioletMy heart pounded hard, but I did what he asked. I kept my eyes on Kylan and did not look away. It stayed like that for a moment. Those safe, deep brown eyes I knew better than my own.Until they suddenly weren’t brown anymore. The brown faded in less than a second, and then I was staring into blood-red eyes.Baelor…My body jerked back, fingers loosening around his grip. Everything in me screamed to let go, but before I could even get to that, a voice stopped me.“Don’t!” Varius said sharply. “Do not let go of him.”A gasp escaped me as I desperately dug my nails into his wrists again. Kylan’s mouth fell open, and then a dark shadow poured out of him. It was thick, huge and aggressive, traveling around the walls like it had just been let out of a cage.My head snapped back to Kylan, and his eyes were brown again. Wide and confused, but back to their original shade.“Wha—“He could barely finish as his eyes changed once more. This time, glowing a bright purple. I started, seeing
