Chapter 203 Chapter 203 Violet It had already been a while since several families had stepped forward to introduce themselves and present their gifts. Lords, Ladies, Dukes–names I couldn’t remember because all their greetings sounded the same, and it was all too overwhelming. Luckily, Kylan had taken the lead and

Chapter 202 Chapter 202 Violet It had been five minutes … Five minutes since I had almost died from holding my breath too long. Five minutes since Kylan told me he loved me. Which meant five minutes since I had last said a word. It was not that I didn’t

Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Kylan Violet brightened instantly. “Do you really think I look perfect p> “Yes…but p> Her smile fell again. “I’m worried you might trip over yourself,” I added, my voice a little softer. “You could barely keep yourself standing p> “Huh?” Violet tilted her head, eyes narrowing

Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Kylan I stood by the window, my arms crossed as I looked down at the guests making their way inside. Everyone was dressed to impress and had traveled from far away only to do one thing. To judge. That was the only thing these people were

Chapter 199 Chapter 199 Violet A crowd of people stood around me, pulling at a dress I hadn’t even seen yet. It wasn’t one of the dresses from the racks, but one Madam Renata had had made and pulled out at the last minute. They were still making adjustments, and

Chapter 198 Chapter 198 Violet I was breathing so hard, I could see my own chest rising and falling. The corset on my waist suddenly felt way tighter than I remembered. My palms, which had just begun to settle again, had turned slick with sweat. He had seen… Kayden knew…

Chapter 197 Chapter 197 Violet I stood motionless. +25 Bonus Kayden turned halfway in his chair, his eyes steady on mine. It was almost like looking at Kylan. They had the same eyes, the same jawline, the same dark hair that fell to their neck, half pulled up into a

Chapter 196 Chapter 196 Violet My heart skipped. I didn’t know what to say. Now that she knew I was aware, was this the part where I was supposed to tell the queen she was being unfair? That she was blaming Kylan for every little thing just because it was

Chapter 195 Chapter 195 Violet I needed to know. Was he like them too? I couldn’t forget that smirk of his, and I had yet to figure out whether it was a good smirk or a bad smirk. If anyone knew about Kayden, it had to be his siblings. My

Chapter 194 Chapter 194 Violet “My beautiful flower!” Queen Cecilia called out as we drew closer. Trinity gently slipped her arm from mine and stepped back, keeping a respectful distance. “Trin!” I whispered, glancing at her, but she gave me a small, reassuring nod. My eyes wandered to the beautifully

Chapter 193 Chapter 193 Violet “Violet p> I sat up straight. My heart beat out of my chest, and my eyes flew open so wide I thought they might fall out of my face. “What p> I was so exhausted…too exhausted. Where am I? Who am I? My hands searched

Chapter 192 Chapter 192 Violet The hallway that felt so big before now seemed smaller, almost like it was closing in. Guards stood along the sides, their eyes following every move. Far ahead, King Elyx was walking toward us, his people close behind him. On our side, Fergus walked in

Chapter 191 Chapter 191 Violet Fergus looked around slowly, his expression as stony as ever. His eyes swept over the palace grounds, taking in every little detail. That was just what he did, always preparing for some imaginary attack, like someone was out to get him. Only this time, I

Chapter 190 Chapter 190 Violet We had been waiting outside for a while now, and the tension in my chest got worse with every second. I stood glued to Kylan’s side, fearing I might crumble if I didn’t. He hadn’t said much since we got here, just stood there, quiet

Chapter 189 Chapter 189 Violet “I’m still proud of you,” he mumbled, his hands wrapping around my waist. “I couldn’t have done what you’re doing. I don’t exactly see myself going to the Bloodrose swamps p> I giggled, hitting his chest. “It’s not a swamp, it’s a village p> “Same

Chapter 188 Chapter 188 Violet +25 Bonus Still confused by all that had just gone down, my eyes stayed fixed on our intertwined fingers. It had been a while now since Kylan had saved me from that evil woman, and I still had no clue where he was taking me.

Chapter 187 Chapter 187 Violet Minutes had passed, but I was still standing around the corner, frozen in place. I hadn’t moved a muscle. Not since Kayden looked right at me with that smirk of his, then rolled away like nothing had happened. Like he hadn’t just seen my glowing

Chapter 186 Chapter 186 Kylan After leaving the dining hall, there was one more thing to do–one more person I had to pay a visit. Kahlia. Calling Violet ‘Wolfie‘ in front of me didn’t sit right with me at all. I was a man of my word. I said I

Chapter 185 Chapter 185 Kylan A pair of eyes, darker than my own, bored into mine. The king and I had been staring at each other for a while now, waiting for whoever was going to speak first. I knew he was waiting for an apology, but I could promise

Chapter 184 Chapter 184 Kylan I looked at Mona and the king. They were both watching with grins, proud of what they had created. Their perfect little monster. “A true firecracker,” the king said, catching me staring. “Your sister has always been a tough one p> I chuckled, looking down
