Chapter 233: Flashback – The Awakening and the Trap
Author's POV (23 Years Ago)
Violet sat in the university cafeteria, her chin resting on her hand, eyes fixed on the void. Her mind was anchored to the night before. She felt the hair on her arms stand up as those manic moments rushed back; the cold touch of the scalpel in her hand, the way she had slowly carved it into Morgan's flesh. That memory triggered a violent urge that made her heart race even now a delicious, indescribable sensation.
A corner of her mouth quirked up. She remembered binding him, injecting him with the cold precision of a professional criminal. Strange, dark thoughts had always lived within her, shadows she couldn't control or even dare to whisper to herself. But after last night, she felt something stir in the depths of her soul a beast that had been sleeping, and she knew she would never be able to tame it again.
