Chapter 86
“You told her about us being mates, but you never told her the truth about the glasses,” Kylan’s sharp gaze pierced through mine. “Or your eyes p>
I turned away, grabbing the things Trinity had brought from the bed. “Why does it matter p>
“Why does it matter?” His tone was calm. “Why didn’t you tell her p>
I shrugged, brushing him off as I got off the bed. “I want to but I can’t. I don’t want to freak her out p>
“You trust her, don’t you?” he pointed out. “Then I don’t see the reason why you haven’t told her about your eyes
“Just like I couldn’t see a reason why you hadn’t told Nate, your friend, about us being mates,” I shot back. The sarcasm in my tone was impossible to miss, and his brows furrowed.
“You ignored me because you found out I’m a witch, Kylan,” I reminded him. “Let’s not do this p>
He had done a little bit of research, pieced together that I was a witch, saved me, put a ring on my finger out of pity after telling me he grew up hating them and now he thought he had it all figured out regarding me and my friendship.
I rolled my eyes, walking toward the bathroom to avoid any more questions, but before I could take another step, he grabbed my arm, stopping me.
1 spun to face him, my jaw clenched, but I barely had time to react as he pulled my body closer to his. The squirrel jumped off, speeding to her cage as Kylan’s dark eyes bore into mine with a wicked smirk plastered on his lips.
“I must admit,” he said, his voice low, “ seeing you like this does burn me on–but do not push me, Puppy p>
Yesterday, that same gaze would’ve made me take a step back, but today felt different. Whether it was because I wasn’t wearing the glasses anymore, the vow I had made to myself, or just the overwhelming reality of my new identity–I didn’t feel like the same Violet from yesterday.
A prince would always be a prince. We hadn’t even reached Lyperla yet, and here he was–already telling me what to do.
A smirk tugged at my lips as I met his gaze, patiently waiting for his next words. When it took too long, I pulled my hand from his grip and stepped back, unbothered.
For some reason, dealing with a Lycan, knowing I was half–witch, suddenly felt way less intimidating.
I thought they were the worst thing I would ever come across, but then it turned out the thing worse than that had been in the mirror all this time,
Nothing scared me anymore because I was already scared of myself.
“I really need to shower,” 1 whispered, seeing a slight shock in his eyes.
“Yes,” Kylan mumbled. “You go do that, and I’ll be back later p>
I stopped walking, his words stopping me in my tracks.
He had no business outside of this room, other than…
Chrystal.
Turns out there was something scarier than myself, and that was the thing I had seen in my vision.

Thad left out the exact detalls, still trying to follow the mile, but I was enough for his to understand. He wanted a reason? had given him one.

I bit the inside of my cheeks.
No, I hadn’t.
I was unsure of what these visions meant since I hadn’t experienced them in a long time–and now he was just confusing me even more.
“Puppy, do you trust me p>
I nodded my head without giving it a second thought. I felt safe around him, I trusted him–that would never change.
“Good,” he chuckled shortly. “Then can you trust me when make you the promise to control myself?” he said, his tone serious. “I’ll give you my word–but this conversation between me and Chrystal needs to happen.
I opened my mouth, feeling torn. The vision still haunted me, and I couldn’t shake the fear of it coming true–but I also wanted to show him that I did trust him.
“Then I hope you’ll keep it,” I said, feeling a lump in my throat.
If I couldn’t trust him, then who could I trust?
Kylan gave me a grateful nod, followed by a small smile. “Thanks, Pup p>
I returned his nod and quickly turned to head to the bathroom. Trusting him to keep a promise was the same as giving away the control over my visions, but I did it in good faith.
I just hoped I wasn’t making a decision I would regret.
