<h4>Chapter 105: Caught In The Rain</h4>
"I mean, think about it. My hair is Purple. Who in this school has such an unusual color of hair aside from Roman. And he’s a werewolf." Violet said with excitement in her voice like a detective uncovering a grand mystery.
"Just because you have purple hair doesn’t make you a witch, Violet. Trust me, witches don’t exactly walk around advertising themselves like that."
ric leaned in again, his lips ghosting over hers, but before he could kiss her, Violet not only turned away but also ced a firm hand on his chest and pushed him back. Her mind was whirring with newfound theories, leaving no room for romance.
The maker of the moon, have mercy on him. ric sighed internally as he cast a nce down at the bulge in his trousers.
Violet, meanwhile, was entirely oblivious to his predicament.
"Then maybe I’m Fae," she pressed, her eyes sparkling with the idea. "The Fae are known for unnatural hair colors."
"And powers," ric added dryly.
"Mine could be locked away!" Violet countered with a triumphant smile. "What if I’m some hidden Fae princess, sent away to protect me until the right time when my powers awaken? Maybe my secret power is lightning, and that’s why I’m immune to yours!"
ric crossed his arms and raised a brow, trying not tough. "I didn’t know you had such a ir for storytelling, Violet. But even if it were remotely possible, you’re not Fae."
"And why not?" Violet shot him a hard look.
"You don’t have their grace," he replied firmly.
"Perhaps, that’s not the case but you have to admit that I make sense right?"Violet said, waiting for ric’s acknowledgement which never came.
Her enthusiasm visibly deted at hisck of support. "Fine. Think whatever you want. Let’s just finish the assignment so I can go back to my dorm." She made to move away, but ric reached out and gently grabbed her arm.
"You’re a mystery, Violet," he said with his eyes holding hers. "And mysteries aren’t solved in one night. But if you’re willing, I can show you something amazing with my powers. Something that might make you forget about all these wild theories."
She raised a skeptical brow. "What about our homework?"
"I’ll handle it. I’m smart, remember?" He winked with a cocky grin .
"It’s a group assignment," she pointed out, crossing her arms. "We’re supposed to work together."
"Fine," ric said with mock exasperation. "Then maybe I’ll just tell the professor it was all your doing. You know, give you the glory this time?" He teased, referencing that biology ss where they got off on the wrong feet.
Violet narrowed her eyes but couldn’t hold back the small smile that tugged at her lips. "Alright, fine. Show me what amazing thing you can do with your powers."
ric’s smile widened, his boyish charm in full effect as he reached out and took her hand. "You won’t regret it," he said, leading her toward the door.
The trek through the woods was quiet, save for the crunch of leaves and twigs beneath their shoe. When they reached the hilly terrain of Lunaris, ric took her hand and guided her up the highest peak. His grip was gentle, and Violet couldn’t help but marvel at how romantic this moment felt.
As they reached the top, the view of the sprawlingndscape of Lunaris stretched endlessly, taking her breath away. But there was no time to admire the scenery as ric had something else in mind.
"What next?" Violet asked him.
ric turned to her, his electric-blue eyes lightning up. "We call on the thunderstorm," he said, his voice brimming with pride and excitement.
Violet’s breath hitched as she noticed electricity crackling faintly in the air around him. For a moment, she swore she saw sparks flicker in his eyes. The smile on ric’s face was pure, genuine, and full of childlike wonder as he stepped behind her and took both of her hands in his.
"Lift them toward the sky," he instructed, his voice steady.
Violet hesitated but did as he asked. The moment her hands stretched upward, ric’s energy surged through her. It wasn’t painful but exhrating. She gasped in astonishment as a streak of lightning shot from his fingertips, soaring into the heavens. A buzzing sound filled the air, growing louder as the energy around them intensified.
The next minute that followed, lightning strikes upon strikes shot into the sky as ric summoned himself a lightning storm. The sky answered him, loud thunderbolts cracking across the horizon. The booming sounds of thunder filled the air, but instead of fear, Violet felt a thrill coursing through her veins.
The ground beneath them shook slightly, as if bowing to the raw, untamed power ric was unleashing. Violet’s hair flew wildly in the charged air, and she could feel every cell in her body tingling. She had never experienced anything like this. It was pure, unbridled energy, and it filled her with awe.
The intensity grew until fat droplets of rain began to fall from the sky, sttering against their skin. ric lowered their hands, and the lightning dissipated, leaving only the sound of rain and the asional rumble of distant thunder.
He turned to her, his face wet from the rain but illuminated by an infectious grin. Violet couldn’t help butugh. ricughed too, their shared joy echoing in the stormy night. The rain drenched them both, but neither seemed to care.
Stillughing, ric reached out and cupped her face in his hands, his thumbs brushing against her wet cheeks. For a moment, his gaze locked onto hers, the intensity in his eyes silencing herughter. Without a word, he leaned in and kissed her.
It wasn’t tentative or hesitant, rather, it was deep and passionate. The rain fell around them, soaking their clothes and stering their hair to their faces, but it only heightened the moment. Violet’s hands found their way to his chest, clutching at his shirt as the kiss deepened.
Time seemed to stand still, leaving just the two of them, locked in that moment. A moment Violet knew she would never forget.
However, it was quite unfortunate that a green colored wolf was having a run at that time and got drenched in the rain ric had summoned.
"Fuck you asshole!" Roman cursed ric’s ass whenever he was.
