Ash hated seeing Violet like this. More than he hated sharing her. The imnse guilt he felt after this ceremony was much worse than the last. She didn’t look as bad as last ti, but he knew her better, he cared about her even. Now it was different, all of it was different. Ash didn’t know if he would be able go through this again next month, but he also didn’t think he could handle losing her either. He was so conflicted with his feelings. He’d tear the world apart to keep her safe and by his side.
Oliver looks at Violet his heart heavy seeing her like this too.
"Let’s get her to the bath and get her cleaned up." Oliver said.
"Yeah, she looks pathetic like this and it’s pissing off." Ash said.
"I know too, I want it to end but I don’t want to lose her." Oliver sympathized with Ash’s feelings about Violet. He was starting to love her too. It wasn’t just about sex and making more purebloods and having a mate. It was also about her now.
Ash carries Violet to her room with Oliver eting Jeremy who was waiting for them in the bathroom with dicine for Violet that he made from the herbs in his garden. The bath was already drawn, seeing her boys around her caring for her so delicately ward her heart. She was weak and fragile and they made sure she was okay and had everything she needed. Ash places her in the tub and begins to wash the blood off her body and Oliver washes the. Blood out of her hair. Soaking in the hot bath and the aroma of the steam she was feeling at peace.
’This isn’t so bad’ Violet thinks to herself.
Jeremy mixes a tea and pours her a glass. "Drink this until it’s all gone, I’m leaving now. I’m going to work on a sleeping redy." His voice as flat as ever. It’s almost as if he hadn’t been having sex with her for the last 6 hours. She wanted to crack his shell so bad, but she feel’s like she’s barely scratched
the surface.
Oliver combs her hair and whiskers to her sweet words "you are the loviest thing I’ve
ever seen. And I’ve never known a heart so pure."
"I need you to be better soon so I can have a redemption for our last match."
Violet smiled, "You’re on." Her eyes stay closed, they felt to heavy to lift open. Her whole body felt like lead.
Finishing her bath Ash helps hold her up and Oliver helps dress her. He picked out a long
loose light pale pink nightgown for her to wear. It fit swallowed up her curves, but she still looked beautiful, and seeing her look like fragile fairy missing her wings. They wanted to stare at her all day but they all really needed the sleep. Ash curing up behind her and Oliver in front of her. They laid close together, enjoying the warmth Violet still offered despite being drained
almost dry.
She didn’t sleep as long as she did last ti. She woke up the following evening a few hour before sunset, she was alone in her room this ti, which oddly put her at ease. She needed soti to herself after the ceremony. Her body still ached sothing fierce. She had two 3 weeks before she’d find out if she’s pregnant and who she’d be mated to if she is. Part of her hoped she wouldn’t be, things were finally settling down and she was finally becoming accustod to her new life. It would be better if Riley wasn’t apart of it, but with the Ash, Oliver, and Jeremy by her side, she felt she could handle Riley, if it ant not losing the people she cared for.
Violet pulled out her phone to check her ssages. She had 5 missed calls and 12 texts from Rosa. ’She must be worried about , since she knows the full appeared two days ago. I should probably ssage her back.’ Violet was thinking when her phone started to ring, and it was Rosa.
"Hey!" Violet answered excitedly.
"Where the hell have you been, miha? Why weren’t you answering my calls or text? Do you know how worried I’ve been? Are you okay?" Rosa bombarded her with questions.
"Rosa, Rosa, I’m fine I’m sorry, truly. I’m okay though. Really. I’ve been sleeping." Violet answered.
"Sleeping? You’ve been sleeping for the last 36 hours? You expect to believe that? You’re loca, miha."
"I really was sleeping. I didn’t sleep as long this ti as I did last ti, but yeah, the ceremony is long and exhausting." Violet paused, rembering that Rosa knows, and doesn’t judge her. "You can imagine how exhausting they can be, you’ve t three of the five princes. They’re a tireso bunch." Violet laughed so trying to hide the embarrassnt.
"That’s true, those boys are a handful. Or 5."
Both girls laughed at the jokes.
"Now Violet, are you sure you’re okay? You know you can tell anything." Rosa asked
again needing more reassurance that her best friend is okay.
"Truly Rosa, I’m okay. It’s not my first ceremony. I was truly scared the first ti. But I know the brothers now, they care more about than they used to, they treat better. So it’s not as bad as it was." Violet tried reassuring Rosa.
"Yeah, but it’s not okay, you know that right?" Rosa asked.
"It doesn’t matter whats okay and what’s not, this is how things are, and I refuse to let my light dim because the shadows keep trying to snuff out. I am stronger than that." Violet showing a sense of confidence she didn’t know she was capable of.
"You’re right. I just care you know? You’re my best friend, and I hate to think of you being hurt." Rosa said.
"Well it’s inevitable, they literally eat up alive. I’m sure it hurts a hot fog to be chewed." Violet joked.
"Violet! Hot dog’s don’t have feelings. So I don’t think they care." Rosa laughed at Violet’s joke.
"How do you know? Are you a hot dog?" Violet teased.
"Oh my god, girl! You’re ridiculous, you know that?" Rosa said.
"I am often asked how high my IQ is. Ya know, I’ve never been tested?" Violet
asked.
"IQ? Why would soone ask about that?" Rosa seed confused.
"Well, cause I guess I say so pretty ridiculous things all the ti!" Violet having more jokes, "Anyways, hows school? How’s Aiden?"
"Aiden is good, he keeps asking when my pretty friend that looks like a doll will co visit again. He’s going to kill if I don’t get him an answer soon. So tell , when will you visit next, so I can give the little nace an answer and maybe he will stop bugging ."
"Well I can leave again probably starting tomorrow night. I’still need more rest, I’m pretty sore still, and I haven’t replenished all my blood." Violet answered. "Oh! My birthday is coming up in two and a half weeks! And I’m hoping to have a
birthday party, if the brothers will let , would you co?"
"Of course I would! But would I be allowed? My bloods unclean, I’m a mutt, a reject of the vampire community?" Rosa sounded ashad, she always did when ever she
spoke about her father’s community. You know after I finish college here, I’ll go and live with him to learn the ways of high society vampires. Isn’t that stupid? A reject mutt like living among noble vampires learning about manners, I’ll never use for a life I’ll never live."
"Oh, don’t say that Rosa, you are none of those things. And you have more status now, I’ll be the next queen of vampires, and you will be her best friend. And close friends with the purebloods princes. If anyone tries to hurt you, they’ll have to deal with." Violet said.
"I wouldn’t want to use you like that though." Rosa answered.
"Why would you think you’re using when you’re my friend and if you can protect , can’t I also protect you?" Violet asked.
"Okay, I’ll rember that. Thanks mi hija." Rosa said.
"Of course!" Violet responded.
The girls had been on the phone talking for hours when they were interrupted by a knock on her door.
"It’s Ash, can I co in?"
"Oh, yes, co in please." Violet answered.
"Hey, Rosa, I’ve got let you go Ash is here. Talk to you later okay?"
"Sure mi hija that’s fine." Rosa said before hanging up the call.
Ash ca and sat on the bed next to Violet, "Are you hungry? Would you like so
breakfast? Riley’s and Jeremy both have gig’s away from the house. So it would just be Gabriel, Oliver and ?"
"Yeah, I’d love that, let get dressed." Violet said attempting to get up for the second ti since she woke up. It was a real struggle the first ti, her legs were weak and still sore. She picked a pair loose fitting sweat pants and a big hoodie, she was getting cold easy because of how little blood she had still.
"Do you need so help?" Ash asked awkwardly.
"Actually yeah, if you could help stand while I dress." Violet asked innocently.
Being so close to Violet while she had so little clothes on made it had for Ash to control his thoughts.
Helping her stand from the bed her legs buckled so, Ash catching her she looks up at him with her big beautiful pink eyes. Her pink lips slightly parted he loses his breath staring into her eyes and he kisses her. Her warm lips felt so good on his cold skin. Violet sucked in her breath shocked by his sudden action.
"You’re my whole world Violet Drakarys" Ash whispered to her.
