Chapter 100: Say Sorry

"Welcome back to the land of the living."

Those were the first words Violet heard as her eyes fluttered open. The familiar voice belonged to Adele, the ever-sarcastic healer who seemed to enjoy finding humor in Violet’s misfortunes.

"Where am I?" Violet groaned, her head pounding as her vision adjusted. She instinctively reached for the back of her head, wincing slightly at the residual pain.

"Did you also hit your brain in the fight?" Adele quipped, her tone laced with dry humor. "Where do you think you are? If not the infirmary, or did you imagine I’d be treating you in the dormitory like last time? Do you know how expensive it is to hire me for home service? Girl, I’m a healer, and there are literally less than ten of my kind in the entire world." She boasted.

Violet rolled her eyes and shot back, "And yet you choose to extend your honored services to a school full of angry and horny teenagers?"

Adele let out a laugh, unfazed by the jab. "Ha! Nice one, Violet. But for your information, it was the Alpha King’s order. He wanted me here to keep an eye on the cardinal alphas. He wouldn’t want anything to happen to his heirs. As we all know, he’s... well, let’s just say the throne can’t be left vacant anytime soon."

Violet raised a brow, studying Adele. "So, in one word, you’re his spy?"

Adele froze mid-movement, her hand hovering just above Violet’s head. She let out a heavy sigh. "Sometimes I can’t decide if I hate you or love you," she muttered.

Violet smirked. "So, have you reported me to him as well?"

Adele rolled her eyes. "You give yourself far too much credit. You think the Alpha King cares about every girl that crosses paths with his heirs? Please. I’ve already told you who they’ll end up with in the end, and neither you nor Asher can change that."
