While the others pondered over our next move , I made my way back to the border. If they needed to tell me something, Enzo would mind link me. I needed to be as close to her as I possibly could , because I was seriously tinkering on the edge. I couldn’t give a f**k if those dead-eyed freaks stood staring at me. I paced back and forth , after twenty minutes of me making a track in the soil. The one face I could seriously bite off right now came into view. Wallace. He came marching up to the line , he dismissed the dead-eyed statues and for a minute he just stood starting at me. I had seized my pace , and stood looking at him face on. My fist clenching and unclenching , my site flickering between a yellow haze and normal.

” You want a f*****g picture ? “I eventually growled out and a slow smirk came onto his lips like he had just won a silent victory over something. ” That will not be necessary ” he said , weird how he sounded calm but venomous at the same time. ” Then what the f**k are you looking at ? “I snapped. He shrugged one shoulder ” My opponent , seeing why the fates decided you were the one who was supposed to be for Violet. Why would they even bother when she is mine? ” I felt a rumbling growl from my chest as my wolf came exceedingly close to the edge. “She is not yours , nor will she ever be “, I told him with possession evident.

I saw his too calm face crack a little. ” Violet had been promised me since a child. As a child I didn’t see why I would be promised to such a weak-minded female. Hated my parents for it , but as she grew into the beauty that she is. I started to believe that maybe they had been right , foreseen who she was to be. If only she was not so ” the words stuck on his tongue.

” Good , so unlike you dead-eyed delusionist ? ” His l*p curled ” So untrue to her own self , her true nature ” he snapped, trying to correct me. I rolled my eyes and looked away from him. ” Yours is just an infatuation , I can not even be mad about that. Violet is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. But this , it is all pointless. If you had ever taken your minds out of cuckoo land and looked at mates and mate bonds. You will see nothing. I mean nothing you do will come between that now. We are fully bonded , we would rather die than be with anyone else now. f**k my d**k won’t even work for someone else now. She would revolt at the touch of another. Do you get it? She will never want you. Make her succumb to her darkness all you want , she will still always want me “, I looked at him as I finished my speech.

He didn’t look anything but calm now. It pleased me to see I had broken the facade he was trying to portray. ” You don’t understand the darkness , just as much as I do not understand mates. Violet will not be the Violet, you know. She may still wish to keep you around , maybe as a pet. I would allow her that. But there is always other ways of breaking that mating. I am not clueless , I do know of matings. And your death would serve me twice , the bond broken and it would possibly make her succumb to her true self. ” He smirked , a conniving look in his eyes.

He thrust his hand forward , breaking through the bond because of that thing around his neck. I felt a pain shoot through my chest , making me gasp. It felt like he had plunged that hand straight into my chest. I mind linked Enzo , something wasn’t right. Like a viper, I shot my hand out and grabbed his wrist. But I felt my strength dropping. Black spots clawing at my sight. I felt him trying to pull his hand out of my grip. But I gathered as much strength as I could muster and dragged him backwards. Out of the safety of the Coven barrier. Things were starting to get blurry but out of nowhere I saw Anthea turn up at our sides. She held her hand out and he screamed, dropping to the floor writhing in pain. The pain eased and I dropped to my knees , desperately pulling in lung full of breath after breath. A loud growl sounded and over his body stood Enzo , in wolf form, his teeth bared close to his face. ” Don’t kill him, we could use him ” Anthea shouted at Enzo.

Loud shouting started happening from the coven as people saw him on the wrong side. ” Put him in a deep sleep “, Willow shouted. I looked up to see the warlock women chanting over his writhing body before he stilled. All his movements were seized and his screams abruptly stopped. ” Violet “, I gasped out. Slowly standing myself up. Peter stepped forward , his face murderous. He went to the barrier where people were gathering. ” Go get Violet now, we know we could easily kill all of you. Bring her here and we will not attack ” he said. I am guessing it was Enzo telling him what to say. They all looked at one another , now confused about what to do. We had their self-proclaimed leader. ” Now ” he snapped.

” You promise we will all go unharmed ? “a voice from the back shouted. Like the red sea, they all parted to reveal who the voice came from. Peter looked towards Enzo, who was still in beast form. The big wolf shook its head from side to side. ” You will all be unharmed under some certain provisions. You will all stop this stupid endeavor and no longer follow Violets’ parents. You will not come after Violet in any shape or form. And you will all be left to live your life peacefully “, Peter told him. Murmurs started among themselves. ” And what of Wallace ? “he asked eventually.

” YOU will all appoint a new coven leader , hopefully one that does not have the same mental state as Wallace or her parents. Wallace is no longer any of your concern. This is your chance to live your lives differently “, I said. I was over ruling Enzo here , but there was no way we would just hand them back Wallace, or her parents. They would both continuously persuade her for one selfish reason or the other. I wasn’t willing for Enzo to show them grace , that was out of the question. Not that I thought he would , I was just making sure.

He thrust his hand forward , breaking through the bond because of that thing around his neck. I felt a pain shoot through my chest , making me gasp. It felt like he had plunged that hand straight into my chest. I mind linked Enzo , something wasn’t right. Like a viper, I shot my hand out and grabbed his wrist. But I felt my strength dropping. Black spots clawing at my sight. I felt him trying to pull his hand out of my grip. But I gathered as much strength as I could muster and dragged him backwards. Out of the safety of the Coven barrier. Things were starting to get blurry but out of nowhere I saw Anthea turn up at our sides. She held her hand out and he screamed, dropping to the floor writhing in pain. The pain eased and I dropped to my knees , desperately pulling in lung full of breath after breath. A loud growl sounded and over his body stood Enzo , in wolf form, his teeth bared close to his face. ” Don’t kill him, we could use him ” Anthea shouted at Enzo.

They all looked at this speaker. He looked conflicted as he looked down at Wallace’s sleeping form. Eventually, he gave one curt nod ” We will agree with your terms. ” He looked at two men standing there and nodded his head, they took off running. This had ended up being easy , way too f*****g easy. Five minutes later, they came back with a confused-looking Violet.

” Where’s her parents ? “Samuel said. My mind was completely gone though when I lay my eyes on my mate. ” Violet, are you OK ? ” I asked her. She nodded , and looked down at Wallace lying on the ground. ” Yes , but what is going on ? ” she asked. ” It doesn’t matter, we will explain later “, I told her.

” How do we get her out ? Without breaking the whole spell off ? ” Ryken said. ” His necklace ” I said, looking down at what had got Violet in there in the first place. Anthea bent down and took it off of his neck and handed it to me. Putting it on my neck, I held my hand out and tested my hand through the barrier. It went through like there was nothing there at all. And I am guessing whoever we touched it did , seen as that was what Wallace had done. ” Hand her over “, I told them. They let her go looking unsure and she walked closer to me , looking nervous. Putting her hand out, she slowly gripped my hand and I had never felt such relief. I pulled her forward and she came through and straight into my arms hugging me tightly.

” Where are her parents ? ” Peter asked the dark witches that brought her and they both shrugged. ” She was alone ” they said. As I was hugging her, something felt off , putting aside my relief. I concentrated on how I felt , how she felt in my arms and it didn’t seem right. Pushing Violet out of my arms , I looked at her face and she looked shocked. ” Devon ” she said in her delicate voice. But even that was wrong. I grabbed her by the throat and squeezed her so she started wheezing. ” Devon “, Anthea said, shocked. ” This isn’t Violet. ” I said and determined it wasn’t. She clawed at my hand trying to wheeze something out , then in a flash. Her hand shot out and snatched up the talesman around my neck, snapping the chain. Infront of my eyes , Violet changed to the image of her father. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me. He went backwards. The shock of seeing her dad’s face pulled me off guard, making it easy for him to pull me into the coven. ” Come in here, I slit her throat ” came her mum’s outraged voice. I elbowed her dad in the gut and span around and saw Violet on her knees in front of mum with her mum holding a blade at her throat.
