Chapter 363 Violet Aelius lowered his gaze. “You will stay with your uncle, and he will raise you among the people. Your people. ” The people of the common land… “ We will always be connected, and I will always think of you, but you are better off with him,
Chapter 362 +25 Bonus Chapter 362 Violet “Next time,” I promised, although the promise was difficult to make. “I will be strong enough to do what I want to do, and no one will stop me p> “But this time,” I continued, swallowing hard, “I will show you mercy p>
Chapter 361 Chapter 361 Violet All eyes were on Aelius as we waited for his instructions. Dylan and Nate were supporting Kylan, one on each side. He clearly wanted to prove he didn’t need it, but his weight leaning on them said otherwise. He was still weak. Aelius’s words kept
Chapter 360 Violet Esther shifted back. Her fur vanished, bones reshaped, and suddenly she was human again. The world narrowed down to one thing only, and that was Esther. I could literally smell her fear, her heart beating inside her chest as I made a run for it. Esther crawled
Chapter 359 359 Violet I didn’t dare to look into their eyes, which were still open. Both struggled for breath, and their hands moved across the soil until their fingers found each other. They knew how this would end, but even so, they held on to each other. “I–I’m so
Chapter 358 Chapter 358 Violet “You’re lying,” I whispered. I didn’t want to believe him. How could I? It was Baelor, and he knew exactly where to strike. Just seal him, Violet… That’s all I had to do, but there was this voice in my head saying, What if? Aelius
Chapter 357 Chapter 357 Violet As soon as I was on my feet again, I steadied myself and didn’t waste a second. I didn’t think too much about it and just went for it. The returning burn hit my eyes, and they glowed white. I turned just in time to
Chapter 356 Violet They hit the vessel at the same time. Lumia came from the left, while Valerius slammed his heavy weight into her from the right. I felt the impact in Lumia’s bones, and the ground shook beneath us. Esther’s boots dragged through the dirt as she slid back
Chapter 355 Another crack followed, and a burning heat spread across my skin. A vague flashback hit me, and I instantly remembered. I also remembered that I didn’t like the feeling of it. Lumia was right. This was her payback. A gasp escaped as my fingers curled. I couldn’t speak,
Chapter 354 Violet What do I do? The question raced in my head over and over. I looked down at my palms, then back up at the shadow beast running toward us. I got my eyes to glow, great, but what now? The last time these hands had done anything
Chapter 353 Everything happened all at once. My eyes were on Nate’s back as he shifted first, his bones snapping and reforming with a loud crack before a Lycan pushed out of him with a sharp growl. Lian followed, pushing out a Lycan with deadly eyes, and then Dylan and
Chapter 352 Chapter 352 Violet Esther… I had never seen her like this before. Not through Adelaide’s eyes, and not even through my own. She looked so powerful in a way I could’ve never imagined. Her hair was tied up in her usual bun, but it was no longer gray.
Chapter 351 Violet Prepare ourselves? How? Aelius gave the order so calmly, like we were all supposed to have any idea what that meant. Jason moved first. He grabbed Little Violet and Little Dylan’s hands, leading them to the center. Both children looked at him with big eyes. “It’s going
Chapter 350 Chapter 350 Violet Kill her? Kill me? I stared at Aelius, searching his face for something. Anger, sadness, or maybe even regret, but there was nothing. The worst thing was that he had said it as he had already come to terms with it. Like he had known
Chapter 349 Chapter 349 Violet I couldn’t believe my eyes as I took in the three figures who had stepped inside. Aelius stood at the front, and Jason beside him. And Varius… Varius stood a step back with his hood pulled low over his eyes. There was no cane in
Chapter 348 Violet I could only hear my own breathing. I didn’t know how I’d done it, but it worked…it had actually worked, and Grandpa Aelius answered. He was coming… The room stayed frozen as everyone’s eyes were still fixed on me. Waiting, searching, hoping I would tell them that
Chapter 347 Violet We had told Dad everything, the same way we had told Mom. About Baelor, the past, the future, and his reaction was calmer than expected. After all we had said, the only thing he could tell us was that everything would be just fine. He had said
Chapter 346 Chapter 346 Violet Mom closed her eyes for a moment. Her lips moved a little, like she was choosing her next words carefully. When she opened them again, they were just as frightened as they had been before. Not much had changed, and seeing that expression on her
Chapter 345 Violet Minutes passed, and still no words were exchanged. We all sat around the same wooden table of my childhood home, where we had sat with Dad the first time we came here. Except now, dad wasn’t the one sitting on the opposite side of me, but mom,
