VioletI drew up short and looked at Theo. His eyes were watchful and kind. He seemed intrigued, but there was no mistaking the heat in his gaze either, the interest. The anger started to pull back. The red haze started to clear, and I turned my gaze on Lucas slowly. The red light in his eyes vanish
The ring was beautiful, to my taste, and clearly custom. He had to have been preparing to make this move for a while. Every instinct I had said I was right about this.Theodore sipped his wine, watching me with desire in his eyes, like he wanted to rip my dress off and fuck me right over the table,
VioletI waited for him to respond or protest, but he stared back at me without saying a word.“More fires to put out?” his tone was wry, but I nodded.“It shouldn’t take me long. Give me two days.”“One.”I glowered at Theodore, and he grinned. “You like rushing me?”“Maybe I don’t want to miss you
" you know what happened, or lease I think you have a good idea of what Lucas has done. I've been marked--""What? That son of a --""And he's made it clear that he plans to take Darkmoon from me.""Are you sure--""Lily," I laughed, unable to help myself as I made it to our bedroom. I dragged out m
VioletHis howl was clear despite the growing storm, but I couldn't tell how far away he was. The world was starting to fade around me, yet I had never been more certain that I would be fine than I felt right then. I looked back toward the Donovan house and saw the Twining River wolves getting close
I woke up on a couch in a room I didn't recognize. My shoulder throbbed with pain; it was bandaged, and I was in clean, dry clothes. There was a document on the table and a single pen."How are you feeling?" I looked over at Theodore standing in the doorway.I struggled to sit up and nodded. "I'm fi
Violet"What the hell?" I almost yelled, backpedaling and slamming the door shut.I stared at the door for a moment, trying to process what I had just seen. My pulse was pounding, and I could still hear the echoes of her cries in my head. The image of Theodore fucking some random woman wouldn't leav
"I wouldn't mind--"I pushed him off. "I'm sure you wouldn't, but I do. Keep your distance, Theodore. I know what kind of man you are, and I'm not interested."He laughed. "You think you have me all figured out already, Violet?"I gestured toward the stairs. "You've made it pretty clear."Something
He flushed, and I smiled. I looked at Theodore whose eyes were wide as he stared at me. I cocked an eyebrow. Did he expect me to let Owen's jabs slide? I wasn't royal, but I was an alpha in my own right, and there was no way I was going to give him even an inch against me. I knew the game all too
Violet Theodore laughed. “Don't be so sour-faced. You should be happy I actually came. Who was going to drag me here if I decided not to show, after all?” Owen pursed his lips and turned, his gaze sweeping over me dismissively. “Luna Donovan.” I tried not to twitch at the address. He knew damn
I scrubbed my hand over my face, not believing that I was actually taking advice from Tyron. “What made you approach her?” I asked. “I don’t remember seeing you being a social butterfly in the news.” She scoffed. “They wouldn’t publicize a woman doing the work of an alpha, now would they?” She l
Theodore The carriage bumped and rocked as we began our journey, and for a while, I let the silence settle between us. Violet didn’t seem bothered at all, humming and working on whatever she was working on. The fragrance of the flowers in her hair mingled with her natural scent and filled the carr
He cocked an eyebrow at me. “Rocky start, hm?” “That’s putting it mildly…” “Time.” I frowned and looked at him. “What?” “Time,” he said. “Consistency. Love… And not just the words… You have to remember that…” He huffed and sat up. “The kind of bond that you’re just now experiencing with her,
Theodore I stared at the two of them, Trying to figure out what they might be talking about and how they knew each other, but nothing about what they were doing gave it away. Violet cooed at the toddler in the woman’s lap. Soon, the little girl burst into center laughter as well, pointing at somet
A jolt of unease shot through me. She cocked an eyebrow as the sky began to darken with storm clouds. “Last I checked, this side of Midnight's border was shared with the Dark Forest pack, which isn’t exactly a friend of yours.” I winced. Violet’s gaze lingered on the path the rogue took away fro
Theodore I didn’t have to turn around to know that the leader of this merry band of rogues was probably perched on top of the carriage. I turned around before she could throw her dagger before the rogue could leap and let out a snarl that shook the air, filled with magic, and pulled out my chained
“We’ll keep an eye out. Anyone with medical supplies, check on the fallen.” One of them turned. “We need to get him back toward the carriage,” I said, nodding towards the guard who was leaning on one of the trees, panting and bleeding from his side. “Violet, cover me.” She said nothing, but
