Chapter 57: Simon

Violet stood there in the dark. Even with the night enveloping her, I could see all of the details in her face. She pursed her lips together with concentration. What I wouldn’t give is to pull her down here and kiss those lips. Her entire body was taunting me throughout the movie. I couldn’t think of what was going on, but rather what was going on between us. The electricity that bounced back and forth was distracting, but a welcome distraction.

Now we were outside, in the darkness with whatever secret task that Greta had pushed Violet to do made me antsy. I wanted to know what she was about to show me. She wasn’t going to give away the secret and I wanted to so deeply pull it out of her, by any means necessary.

She stood and raised her hands and looked up into the sky. I followed her gaze for a moment but then looked back down at her. Her purple eyes started to glow more intensely as she stared up into space. Color burst forth and started dancing across the sky. Comets darted across our vision; planets would turn in front of us. Galaxies would weave through the sky, purples, blues, greens, and golds would spiral and lit up the sky. Like the northern lights but more intense.

“Lay down and watch, Si. This is way better than when we were kids.” Greta said from behind, she was already laying down with Jared, he still looked uneasy.

I laid down and watched as Violet put on a show. I was in awe of her powers. She could make her own universe with the snap of a finger. This woman was now my entire world. I looked at her as she wove her magic throughout the sky, she smiled at the product that was coming out. Though what she made was beautiful, she was more beautiful than that.

She continued for another fifteen minutes creating these beautiful tapestries across the night sky. Other pack members saw this from their windows and came out to admire this amazing sight. No one really knew what was happening, but after spotting me enjoying it they felt more at ease.

The colors started to dull and fade along with the comets and the planets. The eventually disappeared altogether. Violet’s eyes returned to their normal purple, no longer glowing. She blinked a few times and then looked down at me. I had no words for her, just looked at her and smiled. I couldn’t believe that she was my mate.

“That was even better than when we were kids. Good job Vi.” Greta exclaimed.

“Thanks.” She bit her lip and sat down next to me. If she continued to bite her lip like that I would lean over and bite her lip for her. Just to get a taste. She took a sip of wine, almost as if she were embarrassed by the show she performed. She continued to look up at the sky. Even though it wasn’t as brilliant as what she performed, the sky was still strewn with stars, brighter than you would get in the city.

“That was really great. I have never seen anything like it.” I grabbed her hand and held it between us.

“I’m glad you liked it.” She looked around, almost as if she were looking for something. “It’s getting late. I think I better go.”

My stomach dropped. I didn’t want her to leave. I didn’t want to be apart from her ever again. I just wanted to keep her next to me, hold her, eventually tell her she is my mate, and we could do more than what was in my mind every time I looked at her.

“Awww no!” Greta exclaimed, sitting up. “You can’t go! Just stay the night and then you can go home tomorrow. Also, it’s really dark in these woods. We wouldn’t want you getting lost.”

“I’m not afraid of dark woods.” She laughed. “Anything in the woods should be afraid of me.” She laughed again.

I was at a loss for words. I didn’t want to see her leave, but I didn’t want to scare her by demanding she stay.

“Right Simon, it’s ok she stays?” Greta nudged me in the arm.

“Yes, of course. It’s the least I can do since you let me stay last night.” I was able to sputter out.

“I don’t want to impose.” Violet said and looked down at her feet.

“Really, I would love for you to stay.” She didn’t know how much I really wanted her to just move in and never leave. But I would take this one night, as a start.

“If, you’re sure.” She looked me in the eyes. Almost as if her eyes were begging me to let her stay.

“I’m sure.” I said as seriously as I could so she would believe me.

“Ok. What should we do now?” She looked back at the stars waiting for an answer.

“We could play truth or dare.” Greta chimed in from her resumed laying position.

“Oh god no!” Violet exclaimed. “The last time we played that you made me streak through the manor. I got in so much trouble.”

My dick twitched at the thought of her running around naked. Not as a child, but now. It wasn’t a bad thought.

“Oh, come on. It could be fun.”

Greta bolted up. “Hold on! Simon, are you taking my side for once? I’m shocked, truly shocked. Babe, feel my head…do I have a fever.” She grabbed Jared’s hand and held it up to her forehead in jest.

“It could be fun.” I shrugged my shoulders. Greta elbowed me in the side and winked. She knew what I was wanting to see but didn’t say so out loud.

“Am I alone in not wanting to play? Jared, are you wanting to play?” Violet was looking for a lifeline that she wasn’t going to get.

“Greta has made me do crazier things. This seems pretty tame.” He shrugged.

“What crazy things does she make you do?” I looked at him in disbelief. He was such a basic guy. He didn’t need a lot, didn’t want a lot of adventure but Greta apparently pulled Jared’s wild side out.

“None of your business.”

“I’m never going to win with you guys, am I?” Violet exclaimed.

“Nope. And you should fucking get used to it.” Greta looked to me. “Since you are Alpha, you get to go first, naturally.”

“Oh ok, umm Jared truth or dare?”

Jared looked stunned, as if he were a deer caught in the headlights. His brow furrowed in thought.

“Come on man, this isn’t life or death. Just truth or dare.” I hit his leg with my free hand.

“Fine, truth.”

“Truth huh. Ok, what is one crazy thing that Greta makes you do?”

Jared’s face dropped, turning white as a sheet. “You cannot expect me to answer that. It’s personal.”

“It’s part of the game, you have to answer.” I smiled at him. Violet giggled beside me. I looked over to her. She seemed to have relaxed a bit.

“Come on babe, it’s not that serious. Just say one of the things I have made you do recently.” Greta petted his shoulder trying to sooth his mind.

“Fine, um. She suggested that we have sex on the training grounds right before training started.” He put his head in his hand in embarrassment.

“Dude, that’s it? That’s not crazy.” I looked at him as he was turning red in shame. Violet’s giggles stopped. I looked over at her and her face was serious. “What’s wrong?”

She was lost in thought, but her attention was brought back to me. “Oh nothing.”

“Are you sure?”

“Mhm.” She nodded.

I didn’t believe her answer but didn’t want to press it. “Fine, it’s your turn Jared. Pick someone.” I leaned back on my free arm pulling Violet down to lean next to me. If she was going to act weird, I wanted to hold her until she felt comfortable.

“Ok, Violet, truth or dare?”

Violet cleared her throat ready to answer.

“Oh, come on, I know what you are going to pick, you pick it ever time.” Greta laughed as she took a drink.

“You don’t know, I’ve changed a lot in the last decade. I could pick something different.”

“I’ll believe it when I see it.”
