The Lycan Prince’s Puppy
Chapter 24
Violet
I fumbled with my hands, thinking about my biggest secret.
What was my biggest secret?
For a second, my mind went to Kylan–but then I realized that he wasn’t it. He was definitely a fear, and a secret, but not my biggest.
The voices were talking about my glasses–the thing I had been forced to hide my entire life. They had been my biggest insecurity.
A loud laugh broke the tension.
It was Kylan.
“No, no,” he said, the laughter only growing louder. He buried his head between his head, sighing. “No, I’m not doing this.” D
He held an uneasy look in his eyes, and so did Nate who shifted beside him. Although Nate had been kind, also he hadn’t opened up about anything. The only thing I knew about him were the basics. Beta dad, noble blood, bitch sister.
“If you want to become captain,” Dylan spoke up. “I’m afraid you’ll have to.”
Kylan chuckled. “No.”
“We can be back before sunrise–but not if that box keeps talking to us,” Dylan didn’t
back down.
Dylan had always been a serious person. He didn’t always like doing things, but he’d do them if they needed to be done. He wasn’t one to take no for an answer, and everything
had to go his way–which was why most people thought he was difficult to hang out with.
However, this time he was right. “Dylan has a point,” I spoke.
Kylan didn’t respond, didn’t growl, talk back, belittle me–and it was because he was wise
enough to know that was the truth.

“Thank you, Violet,” Dylan spoke. “Your biggest secret. Unfiltered, nothing but the truth- and it stays between the four of us. We’ll never tell anyone about it, and we’ll never bring it up again.”
We all looked at each other, nodding in agreement–even Kylan, who suddenly didn’t seem all that tough anymore.
Dylan turned the box in his hand, showing no emotion. “I’ll go first.”
I braced myself, waiting to hear his biggest secret. He wasn’t just sharing it because he wanted to–no, we were all going to share something deep, something personal, because we had to.
Dylan’s eyes met mine. “I resent you, Violet,” he said without a single stutter. “I resent you, and sometimes I just wish you were dead.”
My heart sank at his cold confession, but I hadn’t expected anything less. “I know,” I chuckled, hiding behind my pain. “Everyone knows. That’s not really a secret.”
“But you don’t know why.”
Did I want to know why?
“Growing up, I always felt overlooked by Dad,“Dylan spoke. “You might not notice but he has always kept an eye on you, neglected me to do so even though I’m his son. It made me…jealous, angry.”
I blinked, his words hitting me like a punch to the gut. Jealous? Of me?
“That’s not true. Dad doesn’t care about me.”
That man didn’t even had the decency to check up on me.
Dylan shook his head, lowering his gaze. “You were always different. Better. You have healing abilities that outshine anyone in our pack, the elders love you–Dad loves you,” he stated. “It’s not fair to blame you, I know that, but I do.”
“Dylan-”
“And when I was younger…” he exhaled. “When I was twelve, I told Dad he had to put me first or else I would kill myself, and take you with me. I held a knife to your throat while

you slept, and he had to stop me. That’s how much I hated you, Violet.” @
No one spoke, no one breathed. I could only hear the sound of the fire. That’s the impact his words had left.
For the first time, it all made sense–why Uncle Fergus was so cold toward me. He had no choice. One was his son–the other his niece, and he chose his heir.
My chest tightened in sadness. I knew he hated me, but I could’ve never imagined him hating me that much.
I always thought Dylan was the one who had it all. Our future Alpha. He was strong, confident, everything our pack respected. And here he was, telling me that I made him feel small.
A nobody.
“I…” I tried speaking, but my lips just wouldn’t move. What could I even say in this situation?
I forgive you?
I don’t forgive you?
Nate glanced between us with sympathy, while Kylan shifted uncomfortably, likely already worrying about his own turn.
