VioletI thought our marriage was perfect until I heard him say her name.“Nora!”Lucas darted away from me and across the room to a woman in a velvet blue dress. He swept her up into his arms. His face lit up with a joy that I’d never seen on his face before. He looked at her as if she were a gift
Violet“Another, please.”I slid the empty glass forward, waiting for the bartender to refill it and sighed. I didn’t want to look at it, but my eyes kept drifting to the mark burning on my wrist. Unwanted. I was the Darkmoon heir, and not even my fated mate wanted me. My eyes pricked. Was I really
VioletThe thought of seeing Lucas' horrified and jealous face with Nora at his side flashed through my mind. The tension tightening through me snapped. I cried out, damn sure that someone had heard itThe door slid open to an empty hall, and I slumped back in relief, trembling.The doors finally st
TheodoreI closed the door behind her, glowering down at my erection and laughing at myself.Violet Donovan of Darkmoon had always been a beautiful woman, but I’d had never imagined that she’d be a fucking tiger in the sheets. It was rare that I found a woman who could keep up with me. Even if she’d
VioletThe Uncrowned King?I went still. There was only one Theodore Nightshade I knew of. He was the alpha of the Midnight pack. He was known to be a ruthless, cunning, and cold playboy. Some said he was a tyrant, but he was also the brother of the current alpha king. I wasn’t clear about all the r
VioletSoon I noticed the gasps and all the eyes that seemed to be honing in on us as he led me across the dancefloor. He was an incredibly competent and confident partner. I couldn't remember the last person who had led this way other than my instructor. I glanced around the room, noting the way pe
Lucas flushed and looked around. It seemed that in all these years, he had learned something about decorum, even if it wasn't a thing that I wanted him to learn. I supposed seeing me level his beta so easily earlier had given him some things to think about in terms of what he could and couldn't get
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
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
