Chapter7
Violet’s POV
“Asher! Wait-“
But he was gone already.
I tried to go after him. Yet the seer took a step forward and blocked my way.
“Let Alpha Asher be. He needs a moment to process all these,” she said calmly.
I glared at her, anger boiling inside of me, “Do you really have the power to see through things? If you do, you will know that I didn’t ask for the potion to hide my scent. My parents forced me into it!”
“Of course, I know.”
“Then why did you make it sound like it was my mistake!”
She smiled a very obnoxious smile, “You hid this from him for 7 years. You are already a part of this, Violet.”
I hated every word she said, but I had to admit that she had a point.
Whether it was because of my pride or my family, I did choose to hide the secret. He had a reason to be mad at me.
The door opened up at this moment. I looked up with my heart full of hopes, hoping that the person coming into the office was Asher.
But no, it was Jayden. He looked worried.
“What is going on here?” he stared at me with a deep frown, “I heard scream and something smashing-And what the hell is that on your wrist?!”
I looked down and noticed bruises on my wrist.
I must have gotten these when Asher dragged me into the packhouse.
“It’s nothing,” I quickly hide my hand behind my back.
Jayden rounded his eyes, “Nothing? He is hurting you! What the hell is going on here?”
I was irritated. It was bad enough to have Asher discover the secret already. I didn’t have the energy to deal with Jayden at the same time.
I was about to tell Jayden to leave me alone when Asher came rushing back in.
“COME!” He grabbed my hand again. The bruise was made worse. I winced in pain.
“Where are we going on!” I cried behind him as he dragged me out.
“You own an explanation to everyone you have lied to!” he growled.
Jayden called my name in panic and followed us out, “Can someone tell me what’s going on? What lie? What did Kylie do?”
“So Violet lied to you too then,” Asher laughed icily. “Come along. You would want to learn about the truth.”
As we passed a long staircase, he didn’t slow down. I tripped over myself and fell, my knee hitting the steps hard. It started bleeding.
Asher glanced back at me and hissed, “Hurry up!”
He pulled even harder and yanked me forward roughly. I felt that maybe he wanted to kill me.
We arrived at the Alpha’s suite. Asher pushed me in, and I found Kylie in there with my mom. She was taking her daily medicine.
“Asher? Violet!” Kylie gasped, looking around us with wide eyes. “What’s going on here-Oh my god, Violet you are bleeding!”
Blood was streaming down my leg and painted my pants red. I was really injured hard.
“Does it hurt? Who did this to you-“
Asher cut her off icily, “Violet is the reason you are sick.”
The room fell silent.
Mom closed her eyes in despair. Kylie’s face went blank. Jayden inhaled sharply.
“.What?” Kylie murmured.
“Violet is my mate. But she hid her scent and kept all of us in the dark. You married the wrong one, and that is why my wolf has been turning you away. Thanks to Violet. She played all of us!” Asher growled.
I clenched my fists trying to stop my body from shaking but it didn’t work. I couldn’t feel the pain on my knees, or the bruise on my wrist, because my heart hurt more than all everything.
How could he blame everything on me when I was the biggest victim here?
I looked at mom, hoping she would say something.
But she flinched and quickly looked away.
“.Violet, how could you?” Kylie slowly stood up, looking at me in tears. “We are sister. I thought you love me! But why did you do this? Were you trying to hurt me on purpose?”
“You of all people don’t have the right to accuse me of anything!” I snapped. My life was ruined because of her. I wouldn’t stand here and take all these from her.
“I am dying now and you are the reason! So don’t tell me that I don’t have the right!”
She shrieked and came at me-
SLAP
She landed a hard slap on my face. She hit me so hard that my left side eye went momentarily blind.
“Kylie!” I heard Jayden’s horrified voice.
When I found my vision back, I saw Kylie collapsed in Asher’s arms, her arms around his neck, sobbing.
“How could Violet do this to me?” she cried.
Is she serious right now? She just slapped me. But why did she act like that it was the other way around?
I started to notice the pattern: whatever it was, Kylie made it seem like she was the victim, and I was the bully.
Was my twin sister really as innocent as she appeared to be?
“Kylie,” I called her name. “Do you really not know the reason why I hid my scent and left?”
She looked at me in Asher’s arms. It was brief but I caught it-that fleeting uneasiness in her eyes.
Suddenly, it all made sense to me. She never asked why I left. Because she always knew the reason. She was part of this plan all along.
I started to tremble, heartbroken because of the deception and betrayal.
She took everything from me. Since childhood, I had always been living under her shadow, but I never complained about it. I even gave her my mate, let my wolf died because of it.
Yet that still was enough for her. Now she turned around and accuse me of her sickness.
“I hate you,” I glared at her, saying in a shaky voice. “I should never have come back. I should let you suffer in this alone.”
“Violet!” Asher snarled. His eyes were full of anger and disappointment.
Kylie’s scheme worked. She made him hate me even more. Even if I wanted to explain everything to him now, he probably wouldn’t believe me anymore.
“You hate me? It’s you who hid your scent, lied to Asher, and ran away from home. You are the victim of your own doing. Why do you blame me for it? And look at me now. I’m on the verge of dying. Aren’t you sorry?!”
She slapped me again.
This time, nobody stopped her.
They all watched her like she did the right thing.
A gleam of triumph came into her eyes. She must be very pleased with herself right now. She raised her hand to do it again, and this time mom gasped:
“Kylie stop!”
I didn’t wait for the next slap to fall on my face. The world was spinning around me. My heart hurt as though it was about to explode.
I reached out trying to grab something to steady myself. But nobody took my hand. The world black out and I fell into the darkness.
