VIOLET

"Where did you meet this Raven person?" Laura asked. 

I wiped my tears and continued, "So I was at this hospital, where I met her. We talked casually and told each other why we were there. She told me she could help me and that no doctor or medicine could help me. She told me that I was, diff-erent. I thought she was crazy or had hit her head somewhere." I shrugged. 

"She told me I could trust her. She was there to treat her really long beautiful  black hair. I told her to get her head checked instead of her hair." Eli cracked out a weird laugh and gave me a thumbs up. 

I gave him a big smile and continued, "She told me that I should check if the episodes happen during the full moon." That made them go stiff and tense in their seats. 

"Does it have to do with something?" I asked them. 

Indigo pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking about something. I kept quiet for a while and looked at Laura. She nodded her head, blinking her eyes. She showed me her palm that indicated to me to wait and I gave her a quiet single nod. 

"You remember when I told you about the curse. How both of us were cursed?" Indigo said suddenly, making me look at him directly. 

"Yes, I do. But I don't know what that has to do with me." 

"It's your wolf wanting out on every full moon." he said. 

My Wolf!?                     

I had a wolf. Like him. I was a werewolf. Oh my god!!!

I was a werewolf without a wolf. Who the fuck would curse someone like that? 

I sat there looking at my brother with wide eyes. I tried opening my mouth to speak but the words did not come out. I was frantically trying to move my hands in a way to ask, how, why, I was so confused and shocked. 

All this time, I was a werewolf living the life of a human. I did not hate my human life, why would I, I had no reason to hate it at all. But how did I even end up there, in the midst of them, far away from my loved ones. How did I end up so far away from the place that was supposed to be my home. I had to live alone, suffer alone all this time, because of what a stupid curse? 

Did they not try to search me? But they thought I was dead. How did they even know I was dead? 

"Violet," Indigo called out. His eyes carried so much in them. He was worried, confused like me, he wanted to make this better. I was freaking out though. How could I not? 

His arm was still draped around my shoulder. It was my turn now. I wanted the answers to the questions that were eating me up. I had the right to know anyway.

"Tell me everything, Indigo, please. I deserve to know all of it." I said, not only to him but to the others in the room too. 

Indigo was fighting with himself. He wanted to tell me. I guess it all had to do something with our parents being killed and my death too. The others did not dare say a word. I guess they were talking to Indigo with telepathy, the mind-talking thing. 

Could they like group talk? Like group chat or call? 

That shit must be so cool.

"Please, I know it is difficult for you but I need to know." I said and put a hand over his and continued, "I am not going anywhere, even if I dared to go, your wolf can pick me like he did back at the inn and drag my ass right back home." I assured him.

He looked at me and chuckled a bit. His lips rose up a little in a smile. The others were still quiet but relaxed after hearing me. 

He kissed my crown and supported his chin on my head for a while. He let out a breath, moving to look back at me. 

"That I will, little one. My wolf just promised you that," he said. I was glad he calmed himself. 

"I second that, dimples," Eli said, smirking. Indigo growled at him, again. I ignored Indigo's growl, while Laura was smiling.

I liked that name.

"I like it. You can call me that, El," I told him. The big funny smirky smile vanished from his face. Klaus eyed Eli as a father would when his child was hurt. Eli was hurt. Maybe it opened up a closed wound. 

Shit, I shouldn't have called him that. 

Did someone call him that? He closed his eyes and opened them before I could say anything. 

"El, it is!" He said, now smiling. I stared at him for a good second and then smiled along. I would ask him later about it. I did not want to cause him any pain intentionally or not.

I was so drowned into all of this that I forgot only Eli's dad was here. His mother or any other siblings, they should have been here, right? 

But I decided to not interfere. The immense pain I had felt when I hugged Klaus, maybe it was it. Maybe he lost someone too, like me and Indigo. It was all a maybe to me. 

I wanted the maybe's in my head to be answered. 

"Indigo, you need to tell her. It is only going to help her know more about herself. And it is her right to know," Klaus said, suddenly drawing my attention to him.

"He's right, Indigo. We cannot keep her in the dark for too long. I know you want to, too." Laura said softly as she rubbed his back assuringly.

"Yeah. I know," Indigo replied, nodding his head. I could feel his distress. He was worried about me, how I'll react to everything that they were going to tell me. But at the same time, it was necessary for me to know. 

Indigo looked at me with sorry eyes. I could see him struggling to bring up the past. 

"There was this witch named Kira, who was dead crazy for our father. Klaus and Dad had met her in the neighbouring pack, the Midnight pack, for some business regarding the protection of our territories."

"Tyler's pack?" I questioned immediately. He nodded.

"Yes Tyler's pack. We were allies in a way. Mom was from that pack. She was the daughter of the beta there at that time. She was his only child. The Alpha was his elder brother." 

"If the older brother was the Alpha, wasn't the younger one too. I mean they were brothers, so?" I was so curious. I had decided, if I was going to learn, I was going to learn it well. I was going to clear all the doubts in my head. 

Indigo smiled at me, "Yes, our grandfather Axel, was an Alpha born too. That makes mom an Alpha." He said as he looked at Laura and then back at me. 

"Mom was an Alpha and so was dad." I nodded in understanding.

Did that make me..? But I was cursed and still a human. 

"You have Alpha blood too Violet. It was one of the things that led me to you." He said clearing my doubts. I had Alpha blood in me. I could be strong like my brother. 

Woah! I was a bloody Alpha.

"Is this related to my aura that you guys were talking about?" I asked, looking at everyone. 

"A-um, yeah, in a way." Indigo replied as he eyed Klaus. I also remembered him telling me how he smelled my blood and scent. I nodded my head slowly in understanding with an 'oohh' to it. 

Eli chuckled and winked at me. I gave him a small smile. I did not know what to say. I grew nervous now. I had alpha blood, but I was no werewolf and the topping to it was me being cursed.

Life was not easy. But I loved this rollercoaster ride I sat on right now. 

"So, when mom and dad met, dad took over the pack from grandpa. He became Alpha and Klaus was his beta." He said pointing at Klaus. Klaus smiled softly, blinking his eyes once. 

"The Midnight pack's Alpha, Alpha William who was also mom's cousin, held a meeting with Kira and dad. That's when she saw him and was head over heels for him. She tried many ways to get to dad but dad loved mom, she was his mate after all." He said, trying to control his anger. 

"Goddess, Luciano used to get so pissed at her. It was only because of Avaluna that the witch lived. She did show the witch her place once. She had a crooked nose at the end of the day. Her powers weren't that strong that time, so she left." Klaus said proudly as it was a matter of fact.

Crooked nose? Had I seen it somewhere? I tried to remember but I couldn't, so I ignored it.

"I want to be like mom," I told Indigo immediately. He hugged me tighter and said, "You will be little one. I will make sure of it." 

"So what happened next?" I asked excitedly. 

"So time went by, that witch did not make an appearance. Mom and dad were revealed. We were born after some years. The pack had grown well and good." He stopped and took a deep breath, closing his eyes. The others were quiet. 

"I was ten and you were only five, Violet. Everything happened so quickly. Kira came in with a lot of rogues, killing our warriors with her magic. She had fed the rogues something, maybe, because they were way too feral. We were hidden in the basement, Violet with Eli and his sister and the others. Klaus and everyone out there were fighting with their lives." 

He shook his head as his hands were shivering with anger. I held them as I looked at Laura who had a hand on his shoulder. I had already started crying.

He continued, "Klaus was there with his mate along with mom and dad. She cursed me saying I would get stuck in my fur over time until the day I found my mate. She then took your name saying it would be worse for you. She cursed you to not have a wolf -" I waited for him to continue. 

My wolf.

But that witch Kira, took it from me. She took away my wolf and above all she took away my parents when I was only five. She separated me from my family when I was only five and Indigo was only ten.

That's when I realised why Indigo hated the mention of a witch every time. It was because of her that he was alone all the time and I was alone there.

Laura was almost on the verge of crying. It looked like she held back her tears for us. She wanted to keep us strong. Klaus had his face in his hands. Eli moved to sit on the arm of the couch where his dad sat. He put a hand on his shoulder trying to hold him back.

They were all hurting and it was hurting me more. I was able to feel the pain through this bond I had with them. I couldn't take it anymore. I buried my face in my brother's chest and cried there.

"Please tell me, Indigo. I have to- kn-ow," I said, in between my cries. Indigo held me to him, caressing my hair, rocking me back and forth. His chest rumbled as he was trying to surpass his growl.

"She cursed you saying your mate would not accept you because you would not have her, your wolf. That you'll feel the pain she had felt," he said snarling. I don't know what he was more mad about right now. 

My mate or the witch.

"So what, I don't want a guy who does not want me for not being a werewolf." I told him strongly and sternly.

"It's not easy, Violet. You will not have your wolf until he loves you back for who you are." He told me.

Shitty mate curse!

I did not want to think about my wolf or my mate who would not love me. Right now I wanted to finish this conversation as soon as possible and start to live my life without thinking about its odds. 

So what if I didn't have a wolf, that was not going to stop me from becoming strong. I would not let my parents' death and my brother's efforts go to waste. There were others who loved me much more. I wasn't going to think of this so-called mate mess with me. 

I could take a little pain every month. All I cared at the moment was that I was home where there were people who loved me for who I was. So I ignored the shitty curse. 

"How did you know I was dead?" I asked as I moved back. He looked at me. The white of his eyes had turned red, the amber in his eyes had turned golden. They were shifting back and forth, changing colours from a brighter shade to a dark shade. 

What was happening to him? 

"Indigo," I called out to him and touched his arm. He jerked as if he was hypnotized with something. He stood up with a growl as his whole form was vibrating. His fists were clenched so tight, his nails would draw blood from his palms. Laura immediately came beside me and held me. She rubbed my arms soothingly whispering to me that he was alright. 

But was he?

I looked at her and she was crying too. I let her hold me and she did not let go until I composed myself a bit. She helped me relax into her for a while.

Laura looked like the only one who was thinking straight at the moment. Eli's eyes were narrowed and fixed at the fireplace. I couldn't make out if he was crying. His hand still held his father's shoulder. His other hand clenched into a fist just like Indigo. 

Indigo started pacing back and forth until Laura got up and stood in front of him. She put a hand on his cheek, making him look at her. 

"It's okay love. She is right here, with us. We are all going to protect her." She said to him, now holding his face in both her hands. I guess that was working. His eyes had stopped changing their colour. He put his hands on hers and hugged her, burying his face in her neck, breathing deeply. 

Her closeness was calming him. She let him hold her for a while. I guess he needed her more. Her being close to him was keeping him sane. 

"Thankyou," he told her. She nodded into the hug, moving back and looking at him again. 

They were so perfect for eachother. I was glad Indigo found her. I couldn't have thought of anyone better than Laura for him. She was here to save us all, at the right time.

Indigo stood there close to her. It helped him calm down. He looked at Klaus and then to me and said, "After she killed mom and dad and the others, you were just out of my arms somehow. I don't know how. I had held onto you when I felt it, Violet. You just kind of vanished from my arms. We found a lot of your blood outside the territory. It was so much that everyone was sure you were killed by some wild. Nothing was left of you, just your blood. I couldn't even feel the bond with you. I never felt the bond after that. None of us did." He was hurting so much. He tugged at his hair out of frustration. 

"Indigo, just finish it faster," Eli told him. His face was so serious and deadly, still staring at the fireplace. He was hurt too but he wasn't trying to show it.

"It was all the end. Why did you leave my side that day? Where did you vanish to? I have no idea. But I am not letting that happen ever again." He kept walking towards me and kneeled down in front of me, looking up and holding my hands. 

It was too much for me to handle. 

"I won't leave again brother. Never. I'm so sorry. So so sorry. I don't remember-I-" I started crying harder, choking on my own words. I did not know what to say. Only if I remembered. He got up and held me to his chest once again.

"It's not your fault. I'm sorry too. I know you don't remember. I shouldn't have said that. I know you would have never left my side ever. You just vanished in thin air. I did not know what to do." He made me look him in the eye and continued, "I am so glad I found you, little one. You were the first best thing that had ever happened to me Violet. The day you were born, I was dancing like a mad boy, running around the pack telling everyone that you were born. It was the best day of my life. I loved you so much and I still do." He said way too emotionally. 

How I knew his words were all true, it was still a mystery to me. Probably, his bond made me feel it. I felt his words tug my heart and warm it at the same time. I was so grateful to be back home again. 

"I love you too Indigo." I said and cried some more. Indigo was patting my back holding me close.

Laura came back with two glasses of water. "Here sweetie, drink this."

When did she even go into the kitchen?

I was such a crying mess, I did not even realise what was happening around me. I was breathing heavily, shivering as I reached for the glass. Indigo took it for me and held it near my mouth for me to drink. I opened my mouth and gulped it slowly.

She gave the second glass to Klaus whose head was still in his hands. I hated seeing them like this. I hated seeing myself like this. She gave Eli a small smile as he took the glass, "Dad," Eli called out to him. 

When Klaus looked up, it looked like he was dead within. He was trying to hold himself back for us. Each of us was thinking about one another like a big family. Everyone was in pain. It looked like they never talked much about it. 

Why didn't they talk about it? Why would they suffer alone all this time? Eli and Indigo seemed really close to me. Did they not talk about it? Looking at them it made me feel like I was opening up closed wounds. I did not want to hurt them like this but they needed to let it out. I didn't remember anything, thus I didn't feel the same pain they were feeling. 

Eli took the glass from Laura and that's when I saw him. He was crying too. A cheerful person like Eli had tears rolling down his eyes. He quickly wiped his tears and held the glass in front of Klaus. He took it and drank the water then looked up at us. 

Amidst all the pain, he managed to form a smile on his lips. They showed themselves to be so strong. 

"You were a strong girl, back then too. This boy," Klaus said as he pointed at Indigo, "he wouldn't leave you alone, like ever. He was like your shadow. You have no idea how many boys here have been threatened by him." He chuckled as did Indigo. Laura came to sit on the armrest of the couch I was on. 

"Yeah, he punched me too! I was his best friend for Goddesses sake!" Eli said out loud. I started laughing now, so did Laura. I pulled my running nose up from all the crying. 

"It was nothing compared to the others. You have no idea how many threats and punches Vin-" Eli was saying as Indigo growled at him. I jumped at the all of a sudden growl. 

I narrowed my eyes at him as Klaus chuckled again. I looked at Laura for an answer but she shrugged, not knowing what he was talking about.

I looked at Eli and asked him, "Vin who, tell me, El."

"NO!!" Indigo shouted with another growl. Laura and Klaus were biting back laughs. 

"I want to kn-" he looked at me with an expression that screamed a big no. I huffed and folded my hands on my chest and moved closer to Laura now. 

I'd ask Eli laterz whatever. 

They all looked better now. The mood in the room was lit up like before. It warmed my heart. This was what I wanted, a nice happy family. The past does give you a lot of pain, but it is the future you look forward to. You never know what miracles are waiting for you. 

"Violet, did the witch you meet tell you the reason before she told you to go to the Silver Summit?" Indigo asked all of a sudden.

No shit! 

I was so dumb to trust her. But something in me told me to trust her. I did not feel like she was a stranger to me. She did not seem to me as a stranger when I first met her at the hospital even. But she cut her hand in front of me and then pricked my finger. She said she swore to me to keep it a secret. 

I should ask them if that was a thing here.

"No, I mean she said I'll find my cure there. She told me I was different and to have an open mind about it. She also said that I was strong, you know, like you guys say it. Something in me told me to trust her. Maybe my gut, maybe." I shifted in my seat wanting to tell more, "And, and, yeah, she cut her palm for me and then pricked my finger and clasped it in her hand and said 'this is me swearing to you that the it remains between me and you', -" 

"WHAT?" Eli and Klaus said it at the same time as Indigo shouted.

"SHE DID WHAT?!?" Indigo growled. This was the loudest I had heard from him since the time I met him except for when he shouted 'mine' yesterday when he met Laura. All of them stood up from their seats and looked at me with shock.

Um..

They looked at me as if she cut her hand out and gave it to me. I stared at them with big eyes and sank back in my seat. 

"Did she do something wrong?" I asked in a low voice, cautiously. I couldn't make out from their expressions if they approved of it or not. The way Indigo growled at it gave me an idea that he was angry but he was more stunned.

Indigo breathed out, "Violet, she swore to you by blood. That is very important to us. It is how we know you are true to us and that you'd never go against us." 

"You see Violet when someone wants to become a part of the pack, they swear their allegiance to the Alpha of the pack by cutting their palm and the Alpha does the same in return promising them protection under him. If the person is not true of his word, the Alpha would feel it. It is not as simple as you think it is. It takes a lot to trust someone when it comes to blood swearing. It's just the same what she did to you."  Klaus said, making me understand it better along with the importance of it.

I nodded, "But Raven did not seem to me as a stranger when I first met her. I don't know, I wanted to trust her. I just felt like it. I wasn't even scared of her when she told me she was a witch. I mean, why would she want to help a human like me?" I blurted out, waving my hands in the process. 

They were still standing there staring at me like I had done something out of the world. 

"You are something else, dimples," Eli said, shaking his head. I gave him a tight-lipped smile.

Yeah, I mean.. Why not?

"What else did she say or do?" Indigo asked. 

"I did not know at first that I go into pain every full moon. She told me about it. She told me to check for myself and if it was true, I would meet her again. I confirmed it for three months concluding it was true what she said. I wanted to know more so I met her. She told me to go to the Silver Summit to find my 'answers'," I said, rolling my eyes and continued again, "It was the same day she told me that she was a witch and then cut her palm and all." I said as I tried remembering more.

"Yup, and then she said I had better things coming my way and-and to make wise decisions and, um, that I will be powerful one day. Pft, like I was going to become Wonder woman." I huffed at the end, wishing it was true. 

A girl can dream.

Laura had one arm on her waist and the other on her mouth. Klaus had his hands on his waist. Eli had his mouth hanging open. Indigo, well, he looked like he was losing his shit.

I pulled my runny nose up again and Laura quickly began looking for the tissue box. She found it on the counter below the T.V and brought it for me. I took it and said a quick thanks to her. 

I swear, she was the only one thinking straight at the moment. She was shocked too but that did not stop her from getting hold of herself. That was one thing I could learn from her.

The three men just stood there looking at me like I had grown ten heads. 

Laura sat down beside me and said, "If you guys are done linking with each other and staring at her can we continue?" I smiled at her confidence. They scattered and went back to their seats as I gave her an amused smile. 

"I have her phone number if you want to talk to her." I told them. 

"Later," Indigo said. "Go eat something. You haven't even had a proper lunch, little one. Are you guys hungry?" He asked Klaus and Eli.  

"We had lunch before we came here. We can talk after she finishes," Klaus said, relaxing back in his seat and Indigo nodded. 

I got up and followed Laura into the kitchen. She placed the pasta in the microwave and carried with her a pack of chips. She came to sit beside me on the table. She opened the packet and gave it to me. I picked out one and quickly put it in my mouth. 

"I know it is all overwhelming to you, but you'll come along." She said softly.

"Yeah, I mean, with me not remembering anything and a lot of information in just two days, I don't know how to feel about it." I told her, taking out another chip and putting it in my mouth.

"Hmmm." She hummed and began again, "I understand but you're not scared, are you?" She asked me, putting a hand on my shoulder.

"No. I am not. It amazes me though, how I am not scared about anything. Overwhelmed, yes but not scared." I told her truthfully. 

"Good. See you are so strong already." She smiled at me brightly. I blushed slightly at the praise. She laughed and gave me a girly side hug. 

Maybe we were going to get along well.  

"You know what I think?" I questioned her, narrowing my eyes slightly. 

"What?" She asked, a little excited.

"I think the two of you need to go on a date. You guys are so stuck up here because of me, I don't like that," I told her. 

"It's no problem Violet. We'll get along-" she started but I cut her off. She was blushing at it. These two needed a really good time with each other. It had only been a day and they were stuck with my problems. I was going to gradually learn about things anyway. 

"No. Both of you are going on a date today itself. I can stay here, I promise. Also I heard you came here as a doctor? I mean you are not from this pack?" I asked. Eli told me she had come as a doctor here. So I thought she must be from another pack. 

"Yup. I am from the Crystal Pearl pack. My elder brother Logan is the Alpha over there and his twin who is two minutes younger to him is the beta." She told me as she laughed at the twin part. I laughed along with her. 

"Wow, Crystal Pearl. It's such a good name. And that makes you an Alpha too." I asked her even though I knew it was true. 

"Yup, that I am." She said proudly. "I haven't told my father yet, Violet. I do not know how he'll react to who my mate is. I d-" 

"Why, why would he not like Indigo. He is a good man. I mean don't you already like him?" I asked her, panicking a bit. I was not going to allow it. I know he was her father and he'd be protective of her but my brother was a good man. He was strong, smart and I knew he loved her, even though he just met her yesterday. 

They were SOULMATES!

"Now, you see sweetie, fathers can be protective of their daughters. Have you seen how Indigo reacts to everything related to you?" I nodded. 

"But I am his sister, how is that related?" I asked her, putting another chip in my mouth.

"His wolf, he already sees you as his pup, his little one, of course you're his sister but feeling like this is not common here. You saw how he reacts to every small thing that concerns you?" I nodded again, remembering the way he growls to every small thing that concerned me and also how his eyes were changing colours.

That was really cool to watch but he was hurt. I would never want him to be hurt again.

"Half of it is his wolf. You're new to all of this and that keeps him on the edge. He will see every other man as a threat to you. It's the same with my dad, it took a lot of convincing to send me to another country to study medicine. He is going to march down here when I tell him I found my mate. He'll understand, I know, but I am also sure he'll have a piece of my mate," she told me, explaining everything. I smiled at that. 

Indigo's wolf saw me as his daughter. 

Damn fathers and their daughters.
