Violet’s povThe sting of Mira’s sharp nails raking down my arms still lingered as I scrubbed the floor. My back ached and my stomach growled at itself in hunger but I dared not stop. Not until she left. “Aww. poor, pathetic Violet. 21 years old and still no wolf? You're more useless than a human.” Mira giggled with her friends.Those words hit so close to home. Why wouldn't they? They were right.I bowed my head lower, hoping she would get bored and leave me alone. But no, she was far from done. Mira suddenly pressed her boot against my fingers, grinding them into the cold stone floor. I winced in pain, my right hand throbbing under her boot.“Oops,” she giggled. “Does that hurt?”I bit my lips so hard I tasted copper.The other maids in the hall gasped but said nothing. They never did. Everytime Mira tormented me, they would just watch, too afraid to intervene.“Huh? Doesn't it hurt?” Mira tilted her head closer to mine, pressing her boot harder further. I swallowed the whimper

Violet’s povWhen the guards had mentioned the arrival of the King and Queen, an uneasy feeling clouded my heart. I knew something was up and I was right.Someone was getting married.That night,I remained silent, adjusting the hem of my gown, forcing myself to blend into the background but no matter how I tried, I was still the oddball of the Blue Moon pack.Servants whispered amongst themselves, anticipating the arrival of the Alpha, King Logan mentioned was visiting. I didn't catch his name when it was said. I was busy biting down on my lip as Mira crunched her boot on my leg, an old habit she would never grow out of.Guests from all over the place gathered at the entrance, their faces glowing with excitement. Mira stood at the forefront of the podium, beaming with pride as her parents, the Alpha King and Queen, raised their hands to silence the murmurs. His Majesty, Lord Alpha Logan spoke in an authoritative voice. “Alas! The Moon Goddess has blessed us!”I nearly scoffed. But

Violet's povJust as I had prayed everyday for someone to rescue me from this wretched place, Xaden appeared, helping me escape the horrors that had held me for what felt like eternity, and I will be forever grateful to him for saving him from that nightmare. But…I didn't ask to be reached from one nightmare only to enter another. Our journey to the Winter pack, Xaden's pack stretched on for weeks. It felt like an eternity, moving through endless forests, towering mountains of his bone-chilling territory. The cold was insane and the fact that he didn't flinch once made it even more insane.He noticed me flinch and wrapped his coat over mine. “Here.”“But aren't you…” my words froze on my tongue when he planted a kiss on my lips. “I'm fine,” he smiled. “Besides, the cold never bothered me anyways.”My cheeks tinted pink and I turned my gaze ahead. Light laugh spilled out of Xaden's lips as he rode behind me.With one hand, he pulled my body closer, making my back press against hi

The stairs were too soft.I know that sounds dumb since they were made of stone, something hard. But they were smooth in a way that made me walk slower. Like they were used to carrying people who mattered, people who were royals. Not girls with bruises under their sleeves and dried blood behind their ears.I kept my eyes on the floor, one hand on the rail as I made my way down. My legs were still sore. My wrist still stung. I kept expecting to feel pain when I stepped down, but the ache was dull now. Manageable. I’ve felt worse. And it scared me how easy it was to forget how much worse it had been.At the bottom of the stairs, Xaden was waiting.He didn’t say anything at first. Just looked up as I appeared, arms loosely folded, leaning back like he’d been there a while and didn’t mind.His eyes moved over me, once. Not in a creepy way. Not like I was something on display. More like he was making sure I hadn’t cracked somewhere while no one was looking. No one has looked at me with so

Violet's povMy curiosity has been piqued. I was restless. I sensed that wherever that path led would open up something unbearable. Still, I needed to know. It was as though something from within me had been rattled.I stayed awake all through the night. My mind kept wandering like it was lost. I turned on my bed all through, trying to figure out possible reasons why that path in the garden had been excluded from my tour.Shortly, it was dawn. Just as my eyes were about drooping closed, my door squeaked open and Danya walked in with several other servants. Some servants carried in a large basin with a gold-like signet on it, a few carried in jars of perfumes. However, what caught my eyes was the beautiful emerald gown Danya carried. Fascinated by the rich color of the beautiful gown, Danya walked towards me with a wide smile."My lady, did you sleep well?" She queried.Her smile crumbled underneath her face when she saw the dark circles beneath my eyes and my tired face."I think not
