75. Bite me, I dare you.

75. Bite me, I dare you.
Violette POV

It’s been a few days since I’ve been out of the dungeon. I still feel sick.. but I’ve not eaten anything to throw up. Every time someone tries to come in to feed me, I begin to shift.. it’s not like I can control it.. it just happens.. I don’t want anyone near me.

Though I’ve forced myself to drink water.. I can’t stomach the thought of food so I don’t bother. I crawled out of bed after Enzo brought in water for my bath.. and I stood over the tub and stared at the water.

I will bathe myself.

I looked down at the ripped gown on me and untied the string between my sore breasts. I looked in the mirror across from me and noticed they were bigger as well. I held my hands on my belly and sighed.

“There’s no way,” I said to myself.

Loren had thankfully replaced my door, but unfortunately.. there were no locks as Viktor requested.

I was still very.. very angry. But I’d calmed myself down enough to think straight. I wanted to forget everything.. forget Viktor and his kind moments..
everything.

I climbed into the bath and lowered myself in. Sobs escaped my throat at the thought of him. He didn’t care for me. None of them did. I held my breath as I sank under the water and drenched my hair. Only I didn’t want to come up for air.

I held myself under until my sight grew black, but before I could pass out I was pulled from the water.

“What are you doing?” Loren asked with fear in his voice.

“I’m bathing,” I said plainly.

“It didn’t look like that to me.” He said. I pushed his hands off of me and growled.

“You drug me to that dungeon. I do not want to see you.” I growled.

“I’m on strict orders to watch you, Violette. I’m sorry.” He said.

“Get out,” I said. He did as I asked and walked out of the room, but left the door open.

I let out a growl as I stood up and stepped out of the tub and walked over to the door. I slammed it shut and made my way back to the tub and climbed in.

I began lathering the soap into my hair, the lavender scent was soothing.. I quickly washed myself and rinsed my hair before stepping out and drying off. I grabbed the fresh gown he’d left for me and slid it on..

My nose caught the scent of food and I began gagging. I couldn’t stomach the smell. I picked up the tray and walked to the door, sat the tray on the floor, and kicked it away with my feet before slamming the door shut once again.

I climbed back into bed and drank a bit of water, then picked up the book I’d been reading and opened it.

The door opened and I growled.

“Leave,” I said.

“Stop slamming the door or I’ll rip it down again.”Viktor said. His voice made the hair on my arms stand.

“Come with me.” He said. I placed down my book and looked at him.

“No,” I growled.

“Do you want to see Snowball?” He asked. Is this a trick? Because I will shift and hurt him.

“Why?” I asked.

“Please, Violette just come. You can see Snowball.. we can talk.” He said.

“I don’t want to talk,” I said.

“Fine. Then, let me take you to Snowball. He misses you.” He said. I began to move when he reached for me.

“Don’t touch me,” I growled. He put his hands up in surrender and backed away.

“Of course, the horse would get you to move.” He said under his breath. I glared at him in annoyance. I followed him down the hallway and stairs, ignoring the people staring and looking at me like they’d seen a ghost.

“Thought you didn’t want anyone to see me?” I asked.

“That doesn’t matter now.” He said. He led me to the side doors of the castle and opened them. I walked outside and when I saw him.. I felt so much relief.

I ran over to him and wrapped my arms around his neck.. I’d missed him dearly in the time I’d been away.

I scratched his snout and he snorted. It brought a small smile to my face.

“You can ride him if you want,” Viktor said. I looked back at him.

“Are you not afraid I’ll try to run?” I asked. He shook his head.

“Nope. Because you only get to ride him if you’re with me.” He said. I let out a growl.

I wanted so badly to ride him.. but was it worth having Viktor touch me? I debated for a moment before climbing on. I didn’t move as Viktor walked over and struggled to climb on. I rolled my eyes as I held out my arm and he grabbed it and pulled himself up.

“Thanks.” He said softly. He held onto my hips despite me trying to peel his hands off.

“I’m not falling off this thing.” He growled.

“This thing has a name,” I growled in response.

“I’m sorry.” He said with a sigh.

I leaned down and scratched Snowball's neck and whispered to him.

“Let’s go, boy.. nice and slow,” I said.

I felt Viktor’s hands rub my hips and it began to annoy me.. because it was making me feel things I shouldn’t be feeling.

“Will you stop?” I growled.

“Stop what?” He asked as he leaned closer to me. He leaned his face into my hair and took a deep breath and I growled.

“I’m just enjoying the ride.” He said softly. He moved my hair over my shoulder and kissed the nape of my neck. For a moment I leaned into it until my mind came back to reality.

“Stop, Viktor,” I growled.

“You stop. You’re the one fighting it.” He said. I looked back at him and saw that stupid smirk on his face.

“I will bite you if you don’t,” I growled. He leaned into my ear and spoke.

“Bite me. I dare you. I might like it. Actually.. i know I will.” He said. I closed my eyes as I fought with myself. Stop it, Violette.. he hurt you. Don’t cave. Please..
