Violet's hands around the broken camera trembled.
She lifted her head and stood up, facing Sylas. Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed how Sylas's darkened gaze locked on the camera. Guilt and fear overwhelmed her.
"It broke. I didn't mean to. There—"
Her words were cut short when Sylas grabbed the camera from her hand. The tension in the room thickened, tightly gripping her chest.
"Get out." He sounded curt and cold.
"Alpha, I-I am sorry but—"
"It isn't polite to snoop around someone's room no matter how curious you are," Sylas commented. "Now, show yourself out."
Violet understood he didn't wish to hear more words from her. Her head hung low, and her steps were heavy when she walked out of the room. Tears stung at the corner of her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
"What happened here?" Gabrielle asked, entering the room once Violet was stepping out.
