Violet Ben, as Theodore called him, was still growling, panting, heaving, and glaring at me like he was seconds away from attacking me. "This is Violet," he said calmly. "She's going to be my wife soon. Why don't you tell me what happened." He growled again but he seemed to be calming down. Th
His lips twitched. "Who would you trust to take Ben in and care for him? Or these children in and not abuse them?" "Darkmoon... Silvertree, and... Hollowmoon." He grinned. "Ah, the Noble Triumvirate, makes sense, but does it?" I nodded. "I see your point." Silvertree and Hollowmoon had a sta
Violet I clung to consciousness, my head spinning as Theodore gripped my wrist where the mark of the unwanted was seared deep into my skin. An unfamiliar surge pulsed through me, the heat of the bond between Lucas and me seeming to plunge into icy, numbing depths, snuffing the agonizing fire t
I scoffed at that. Who the hell was I kidding? From the moment I’d realized that she was the perfect candidate for my luna, temporary or not, keeping her at a distance wasn’t an option. Even if we hadn’t slept together before I’d proposed my plan, our relationship was doomed to be closer than I coul
Violet My mouth felt as dry as a desert. “What?” I asked, frowning through the haze. The water was so cold and refreshing. I could have drank a whole pitcher on my own. He refilled the glass. “It’s time to start the lawsuit.” I frowned. “What’s… made it so urgent for you now?” He smiled
If I was a less proud woman, I would have told him to stay, to do something about this… feverish desire that was starting to tear me up inside. But I wasn’t that woman. Maybe too stubborn for my own good or just too grounded in reality. Even if I asked, Theodore Nightshade didn’t sleep with the
Violet Lucas hesitated, glancing away. For a moment, I could almost see his thoughts racing, as if he was debating how much he dared to reveal. “I asked you a question. What did you mean by that?” Lucas's gaze burned into me. He set his jaw. I glanced at Theodore. I could see the rage brewing
He chuckled. “I’m sure the lawyers will make a case for it.” “Good. I have plans for that money.” I paused. “Well, given Twining Rivers’ monetary situation, it's more likely I have plans for that land…” Theodore laughed. I gestured vaguely over my shoulder. “You should have spent your time enjoy
“Theodore,” she whispered, her voice soft, reverent. “I’ve been looking for you. Don't turn away from me.” A strange pressure coiled in my chest, the same unnatural pull I’d felt at the temple. I felt nauseous. Sick. I turned away from her. Looking, squinting through the haze to see the other figu
VioletDarkness stretched endlessly before me, vast and empty. Then, the dream took shape. The two wolves from before stood on a precipice, their fur illuminated by an unseen light. The white wolf stood firm, waiting, watching. The black wolf was near, coming up behind the other. Their bands of li
Then, Violet dropped like a stone. "Violet!"Theodore barely managed to catch her before she hit the ground, his face contorted with panic as she convulsed in his arms. Her eyes rolled back. Her mouth frothed. Blood came from her nose as she jerked and spasmed. I barely bit back a smile seeing it
VioletThe moment we stepped out of the courtroom, the air was electric with victory. Paparazzi crowded the streets, cameras flashing like a relentless storm as reporters shouted questions. Theodore pulled me closer, shielding me from the chaos as we made our way to the convoy waiting to escort us t
“Then tell us, as a magical expert, what exactly do you offer in relation to this case?” “The noble seal of every noble house is and has always been a magical tool that is use-bound to three things: the Estate, the family’s bloodline, and the family’s official registration documents held by the In
VioletThe court erupted into hushed whispers. My lawyer nodded. "Let's move on to the document in question, shall we?"He pulled up the document that Lucas's lawyers had shown with more forged signature."Is this a forgery?""Yes.""How can you tell?"She clicked and brought up the actual Twining
“Given the appearance of these documents, it may be that Lucas and Nora were confirmed to be mates,” he said smoothly. “However, this revelation is irrelevant to the matter at hand. The fact remains that Violet Donovan legally signed over Darkmoon, and that is the issue before us today.” “We disag
MichellePain bloomed across my cheek. I cried out, but it was cut off when he wrapped his hands around my throat. I struggled, trying to push at his chest, tear at his hands.Owen stared down at me, his sneer venomous. “You belong to me,” he said. "And you will remain my wife until I decide you are
"Did he do that to you?"Her eyes widened and she yanked her sleeve down. I set my jaw. Just when I was sure that Owen couldn't get any lower. “Your lips are smudged,” I said coolly before turning on my heel and walking out, leaving her in the bathroom. By the time I stepped into the hallway, my
