Violet was never able to blend in. Even before her abilities started flaring, kids her age either admired her or feared her because of her lineage. Some bickered who will be her Beta and she was still many years from becoming an Alpha officially. It was exhausting.
Other than Ethan, no one else treated her as an equal and she wondered if that was why she was hoping they were mates.
At events like these, Violet was glad there were many people because the crowd allowed her to slip away.
She didn't dare to go too far in case anyone noticed, which they did eventually, so when the event was in the packhouse, Violet would go next to the fishpond that was tucked in among willows and cherry trees.
