Chapter 48

Violet

"Do I want to know why you have so many people at your command?" Nathan raised an eyebrow glancing from me to the crowd of rogues glowering at me.

I chuckled nervously. "Well... I was angry, bidder and very vengeful-"

"You still are" Every rogue in the room cut me off along with some demons.

I stared at them all gob smacked. "That's just rude"

"Still true" Grant chuckled in amusement while I glared at him. "Shut up blood sucker"

"Bitch"

"Half"

"Half is more than enough"

"Well-"

"Okay, I would love to not rip your throat out" Nathan spoke towards Grant making me snicker. 'Sucker'.

"And you" He turned towards me swiftly making me go stiff which made Grant snicker.

"Why do you have so many rogues?" I chuckled nervously. 'Help me' I whispered to my wolf while she just snorted. 'You're on your own honey.'

"Were waiting" Grant smirked while I just glared at him and turned towards my hunk of a mate giving him a bright smile. Did I just hear people shiver? I swear I heard some people shiver.

"Well you see I was thinking of planning as.....wedding" You can hear the crickets.

"A wedding?" Nathan asked slowly while I just nodded trying to keep a smile on my face.

'A wedding? really? Not even God will believe that' my wolf snickered.

'Shut it do you know how hard it is to lie to your mate?' I growled at her while she snorted. 'Why do you think I wanted out of this 'explanation'?

"Yes a wedding" I said it got to stick with it.

"For who" Grant snickered.

"For a very good friend of mine who I wanted to help them from the bottom of my heart."

I heard many snort and snicker. "What heart"

"Shut up Albert I was doing this for you and your mate" I shouted at him while he just l stared shocked and angry.

"You tortured my mate in front of me!" I chuckled nervously fidgeting.

"Awkward"

Everyone snapped their attention back to me instead of a snarling growling Albert. "Okay" Nathan sighed running his hands through his hair. "I'm going to ask again."

My eyes widened when I suddenly found myself against the wall. "Why do you have so many people at your command?" I opened my mouth to make another excuse when he cut me off.

"Don't even start with a birthday party" I shut my mouth. I was going to say baby shower.

"Violet" He growled warningly. 'That was hot' My wolf sighed while I scowled. Really?

"Ok ok fine, it was a revenge I had planned that I kind of forgot about" I resigned.

"For who?" Grant asked as Nathan pulled back. "The Tritan pack" I grumbled while everyone stared.

"What was the plan?" Nathan raised an eyebrow while I just smirked a little. "I was going to send them out to attack the pack to cover any tracks when I tortured the ones I wanted myself. Leave a few numbers and Trent to live with the fact that his pack is close to decimated by his own 'mate' and wallow in pity and anger till I end him" Everyone stared in shock.

"That's..." Grant trailed off. "Ouch" I just shrugged. "I was really angry at them, if I didn't come across the Dark moon pack there would barely be a Tritan pack."

"Diabolical" Nathan smirked pulling me to his side. "It just reminds me why I love you" Why are my cheeks heating up. Oh my god-

"Violet Scarlett is blushing?!" Grant stared wide eyes while I just buried my face at Nathan's side embarrassed.

"Oh my god, she's embarrassed!" I heard someone squeal. This is the worst day ever.

"Woah, never thought I would see the day." Grant muttered dazed while Nathan smirked. "Just shows how much I affect her." Growling I punched his stomach pulling out of his hold while he just laughed unaffected. Stupid eight pack.

"So what is our plan for this war?" Grant sighed while I sulked. "Grandpa said he'll be here in 3 days with Calvary." I sighed.

"You mean Dracula?" I heard a demon hiss along with some vampires at the name.

Yeah Drac angered many people in his time, and he's been around for a very long time...

"Yes Dracula who's also my grandpa" I gave them all a pointed look.

"Figures" I raised an eyebrow at that. I'm not going to ask for an explanation.

"Anyway, what's our next move?" I asked honestly wondering that myself.

"Well from the information we collected I learned that Alayna is under a spell." I snapped at attention at what Grant said. "What kind of spell?"

"I don't know but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't agree to capturing demons and letting the light witches torture them for 'information'" I growled. Alayna used to flinch at the mere mention of my ideas of interrogation and lectured me.

I'm going to tear whoever put whatever spell on her slowly and pinfully, heck I wouldn't be surprised it was Stephen since she would have noticed by now. Or maybe another light witch.

"What else?" Nathan asked while Grant thought it over.
"There's some guy named augustine is coming to help him. I forgot where I heard the name before, It's right at the tip of my tongue" I stiffened.

Grant stiffened looking around along with the rogues and vampires as the atmosphere got tense. "Why are you all looking like that?"

"I'm going to kill that bastard" I heard a demon grumble before another snickered.

"Join the century long line"

"If anyone gets at him first it would be me."

Now you get an argument on who gets to kill him first and how. Ye-no

"If anyone's going to get a piece of him, it'll be me or Nathan" I growled over the chaos happening. Everything instantly went silent.

I narrowed my eyes as some looked as if they would disagree. "Whether you agree or not you have no say in this" I sneered. They seriously think that we would let them get a go at him when he has been a thorn at our side for centuries.

Some of them only lived as much as 100 years through their curse. That's minimal considering Nathan and I had to deal with his shit for centuries.

Nathan the most considering he actually has his memories. That doesn't mean Augustine isn't going to suffer when I'm done with him.

I sighed facing everyone. "We need to settle down and come up with a plan." I made eye contact with Nathan before I voiced my thoughts.

'Should we tell everyone what's really at stake?' Everyone here is either here for two reasons.

Revenge or Forced. Well the rogues are forced, everyone else for revenge and the vampires to rise to whatever former glory they had. I'm only want to help Grant, could care less about the rest.

'Not yet, we'll wait it out. There's a war coming, they can't get distracted, whether it will do good or not. Besides, a little birdy told me I have a traitor along my demons' His voice grew dark at the last part making me shiver. 'That's sexy'

'Focus' I snapped at my wolf. 'Did Grant already tell you?'

'More like I went through his mind' I stiffened. Uh oh.

'What did we agree on for you to go and find allies?' I sighed sulking. 'Not to go into Tritan territory or anywhere near it.'

'And what did you do?' I didn't answer putting up my walls shuffling uncomfortably as everyone exited the ballroom.

Nathan sighed pulling me into him as the last person left. "I'm only worried about you, I can't lose my rose again." I felt myself soften not only by his words but his embrace.

"You won't" I sighed turning around to peck him on the lips. "Augustine has met his last century. His reign will soon be over." I buried my head in his chest inhaling his scent as my wolf released her control on me.

"And soon we will get our happily ever after." He buried his face into my hair as I stiffened. "What's wrong?" He pulled back looking into my eyes while I just looked away.

"Is it even possible for people like us to have a happily ever after." I saw him tilt his head in a cute way at the corner of my eyes. "People like us?"

"Yeah you know, full of darkness" I winced waiting for his reaction. I felt him gently grab my chin turning my face towards his.

"You're letting Augustine get to you my rose." He gently felt my cheeks with his thumb as he held my face. "Just remember-"He gave me a passionate kiss.

"Light can be found in darkness as darkness can be found in light. You can find happiness within darkness."

Alayna

"It's an honor to have you here Sir Augustine" I smiled kindly at the man standing before me.

He had all the qualities a light witch could ever have. Light tan skin, blue eyes and blond hair. What confuses me is why I have never heard anything about him considering how highly the light witches thought of him. Well other than Saint Augustine.

'I think he wanted to stay on the low' my wolf tried to explain while I was just confused. 'Why?'

'I heard there are many demons who would love to get revenge especially the king.' My wolf explained while I frowned.

Nathan huh.

"Please the pleasure is mine to meet the most promising of the moon goddess daughters." He spoke fluently with a hint of an accent as he kissed my palm.

I felt my cheeks heat despite his comment towards Violet before Damon growled and pulled me towards him. Augustine simply chuckled the gesture not at all effecting him. "Mates, such a beautiful thing"

"Then get your own" Damon grumbled burying his nose in my hair inhaling his scent. I chuckled running my hand through his hair.

"It's good to have you here Sir Augustine, everyone is waiting." Stephen appeared beside me bowing in respect.

"Of course, lead the way young one" I watched along with Damon as they both disappeared from our sights.

"He seemed charming" I turned to find Trent coming towards us. I could see through his confident no caring facade.

He misses Violet and in a way angry at her. His aura shows a sad glow along with anger and jalousie. Most of all longing.

"Hey baby where did you go?" I heard the voice of the first person I have ever hated in a while as her arms went around Trent.

It angers me she would take advantage of this situation and my sister's absence to get what she wants. It angers me even more Trent is letting her, heck he might as well be encouraging her. Even after what she's done, she doesn't deserve that pain.

"Sorry, I was hoping to meet the light witch who's coming." Trent sighed looking uncomfortable in her arms as his aura changed.

"Oh that Augustine guy." I growled in disgust as her aura changed into a lustful one. No shame that girl no shame.

"Come on Paige let go of the guy, the meeting is about to start." Luke called out to everyone. "Yeah yeah were coming"

I went to follow everyone else to the meeting room before I was pulled aside. I was about to use magic when I saw who it was.

"Oh Merideth you scared me." I placed a hand over my fast beating heart.

"Sorry sweetheart but I need to ask you something." I calmed down and looked at her confused. "What is it?"

"Has anything strange been happening lately or happened to you?" She asked cautiously while I grew more confused.

"Strange? I don't think so..." I raised an eyebrow at her assumption. "Why do you ask?"

"Nothing it's just-"She seemed to pause as if pondering something "Nothing." I gave her an unbelieving gaze trying to read her aura but Merideth was always able to remain immune to my reading.

I huffed giving up "Okay then"

I frowned walking away towards the meeting hall. "I haven't been acting different" I muttered under my breath. 'Have I?'

'If you have been acting different I'm sure it's justified considering you're conflicted with the matter of your sister and the demons' My wolf said matter fact while I just sighed nodding before going inside the meeting hall.
