Chapter 45: Who Knows Asher’s Plans?
A cold like never before burrowed deeply into Violet’s skin, chilling her to the bone. The steps she took down the empty hallway felt heavy, almost robotically, as if she had been disconnected from her own body.
Nothing made sense anymore. Not when her head swirled with a thousand thoughts, all crashing into each other like waves in a violent storm. It was as if the world had tilted off its axis, and she was left grasping at straws to regain her footing.
Her instincts had always whispered to her to be wary of Asher, and now she knew they had been right all along.
"You, my purple queen, will take Elsie’s place." Those words kept echoing in Violet’s head, haunting her as she replayed them over and over. They looped through her mind, like a broken record that refused to stop.
It was chilling.
At first after he had said that, Violet had assumed Asher was joking. She thought it was another one of his games, you know, his own twisted way of riling her up. But there had been nothing playful about that dark, intent look in his eyes. And that was all the confirmation she needed to know he was deadly serious.
"You mad man!" she had shouted, pushing him away before taking to her heels, her breath catching in her chest as she fled. She hadn’t looked back. No, she didn’t dare to.
What the fuck was wrong with Asher? What did he mean by her "taking Elsie’s place"?!
Elsie was the one chosen by the Alpha King for one of them. Taking Elsie’s place would mean challenging the Alpha King himself, and only someone with a death wish would even consider that. It was madness. Suicidal.
And Violet, as reckless as she was, still wanted to live. So she clung to that desire fiercely, which meant there was no way she could go along with Asher’s ridiculous idea.
The first thought that rushed into Violet’s mind was running away. To leave Lunaris and escape Asher and his insanity as planned. But she couldn’t do it now. Not in broad daylight when his eyes and ears were possibly everywhere.
After all, Asher had made it crystal clear that he doesn’t plan on letting her go anytime soon. Violet shuddered at the thought of what he would do if he caught her trying to "leave him." so running wasn’t an option. Not while the sun was up.
