Xaden's pov I had gone to my study immediately when I came home from going to see where Violet stayed. I hadn't meant to go since I had asked Xavier to watch over her the previous night. When Xavier came to report to me early hours of this morning, I had been reassured she was safe and doing okay. However, after Mira had left my study this morning, I hadn't been able to resist going to see Violet. But as soon as I saw her, I was disgusted by her presence and I couldn't help my ill attitude towards her. I longed to kiss her but when I did, I felt nothing. Just disgust. What was wrong with me? Her thoughts never escaped my head. Whenever she wasn't close to me, I always felt depleted. And when she's within reach, there was this fire that burnt within me. I knew I couldn't quench the fire
