"You shouldn't take it to heart," Lila tried to console the shell-shocked Violet after reading every single comment under the Oracle's post.
"They think of me as a whore," Violet said numbly, turning to Lila."They've already made up their minds about me. 'Like mother, like daughter,' that's probably what they're all thinking right now." She chuckled mirthlessly.
Lila gave Violet a concerned look, then turned to Dion, hoping he might offer a solution. However, he simply shrugged; this was not his forte.
With a note of frustration, Lila reached out and took Violet's hands in hers. "They're simply jealous of you. Moreover..." She straightened up. "It's not exactly unheard of to be dating two or more werewolves. In the old world, according to the texts, their moon goddess blessed them with multiple mates. In other words, you're not a whore, Violet."
