VioletThe whole night I kept switching from one side to another on the bed, my brain churning out thoughts related to the vision, the witch’s dark story and Elijah’s sweet words.I was barely awake the next morning when I was dragged out of my room by the maids.The rehearsal dinner was being held in the manor's grand ballroom, a space so ridiculously opulent it made me feel like I'd stepped into a period drama. Crystal chandeliers hung from the vaulted ceiling, each one probably worth more than my entire year's salary. The walls were covered in cream silk panels with gold trim, and massive arrangements of white roses and peonies decorated every available surface, their cloying sweetness thick in the air.And I stood near the back of the room, trying to make myself as invisible as possible while still technically being present. I looked ridiculous in my night clothes and messy hair but Nicole apparently dragged everyone out of their beds, hoping they would be as excited as her.My r

VioletThe massive screen flickered to life with a brightness that made me squint. And there I was, displayed twenty feet high for everyone to see.It was footage from the night of the rogue attack when everything had started falling apart.My stomach dropped to my feet, and I felt the blood drain from my face so fast I thought I might actually pass out.I watched myself sitting there, waiting for Nate to get off his phone with that sad, desperate expression of someone hoping tonight would be different.The camera angle shifted and I saw myself looking at something across the restaurant. The angle zoomed in slightly, focusing on my face.I remembered this moment. This was when I'd noticed the waitress getting flustered while talking to that stranger. When I'd smiled at her obvious crush, finding a moment of lightness in my otherwise miserable evening.This hadn’t been in the previous video. That meant they had re-edited it to add a bit more details.It didn't look like I was smiling a

Violet"That never happened," Nicole said upon noticing how she was turning into a culprit, her voice coming out shrill and too loud. "He didn't kiss you that night. I know he didn't because…"She stopped abruptly, her mouth snapping shut as she realized what she'd been about to admit. "How would you know what happened that night, Nicole?" Elijah asked, his tone conversational but with steel underneath. "Were you there? Did you witness the attack?"Nicole's mouth opened and closed, her face cycling through several expressions before settling on forced calm. "I just. I meant, I assumed…""You assumed wrong," Elijah said flatly, finally dropping his hands from my face but staying close enough that I could still feel his body heat. "A lot of people have been assuming wrong lately and making judgments based on edited videos and out-of-context footage."His gaze swept the room, landing on various faces, making sure everyone understood he wasn't just talking about the video."Now," he cont

VioletMy hand flew to my mouth, stifling the gasp that wanted to escape.Was alpha Alaric hitting Elijah?I wondered how long he had been hitting Elijah."You defied me," Alaric said in that same cold and measured tone. "Again. How many times, Elijah? How many times have I told you that your personal feelings, your adolescent infatuations, your pathetic needs do not supersede pack law? That nothing supersedes my authority?"Elijah didn't respond nor did he lift his head. He simply remained in that kneeling position, absolutely still."I asked you a question!" Alaric's voice rose slightly, a crack of anger breaking through the control."Many times," Elijah answered, his voice rough but steady. "You've told me many times.""And yet here we are. Again. With you publicly humiliating this family by kissing that girl in front of guests, in front of pack members, in front of the fucking maids. Making a spectacle of yourself. Making us all look weak.""I was correcting a false narrative…""Y

Violet"Take off those rose-tinted glasses, girl," Alaric said, looking down at me with something that might have been pity if it wasn't so laced with contempt. "Look at what you're begging for. This man you think is worth saving? He's not. He's never been worth the love you're so eager to give him.""There’s no need to go there," Elijah’s voice was on the edge."He killed his own brother," Alaric said, and the words dropped into the room like stones into still water.I felt the breath leave my lungs."I didn’t mean to…" Elijah started, but Alaric cut him off."He died because you were careless, because you thought you knew better than everyone else. He lost his life because you were too arrogant to follow simple safety protocols, follow your alpha’s orders." Alaric's voice was shaking now, with rage or grief or both. "My six year old boy is no more because of you. You continue to breathe and live while my boy has been long buried."The silence that followed was suffocating.I looked
