Theodore I didn’t know what to say as it all clicked into place for me. “Violet...” She shook her head, forcing a wry smile. “Look back, the Goddess had to have been protecting me probably for the best, right? A child with him...” Her voice cracked, and I swallowed hard. I pulled her close
“Then what is it?” His thumb brushed over my knuckles, and his gaze softened. “It’s about what’s right. For us. For our lives. I don’t want to give you an answer that’ll make you question yourself more than you already do.” I swallowed, my throat tight. He was trying to protect me—of course, he
Violet Dahlia looked like she was going to blow a gasket. Kincaid was flushed and huffing with fury. I could see how hard it was to restrain himself. He edged himself back. “You don’t get to decide how I feel about it.” Kincaid snarled. “Then tell me!” His words seemed to ring through the ai
Kincaid offered his arm. Her eyes went as wide as saucers. He inclined his head. “It would be my honor.” She turned bright red, staring at him as if she didn’t know what to make of him. “There’s… Well… Midnight isn’t at all like Darkmoon, we don’t even— I mean, where would we even— it’s not th
Violet I tilted my head, searching for the words. “I am living here for now, and I figured I’d be living her at least part of the time.” The smile on Theodore’s face faltered. “What do you mean part of the time?” “Exactly what I said. I still have to run Darkmoon. It wouldn’t make sense—”
“Well, I imagined that we’d live in Midnight half the time and Darkmoon the other half.” My lips twitched. “Preferably during the better weather months for either territory.” He looked up like he’d never considered it. He probably hadn’t. I stroked his hair, running my hand through it. He leaned i
Theodore “Our society cannot thrive if we allow the existence of rogues within our borders,” Cavanaugh declared. “The Shelter Project not only threatens the safety of our packs but undermines the very foundation of what it means to be a werewolf in our world. This is not just a political issue—it’
I shook my head. “Your plans really do have plans.” “Always.” Violet’s POV Then, I laughed, leaning back. “Serious talk aside, Theo’, you have to tell me—what exactly did you do to make Cavanaugh give that speech? He basically said I was wrong, but I was right and Midnight has the best solut
Theodore’s POVWhen I looked up, there was a literal crowd huddled around the car. All my senses went on alert and the hair stood up on my arms.“Doher,” Violet chuckled beside me. “Look at their smiles. They’re here to welcome us, not attack us.”She nudged my elbow with hers. “Not everyone’s famil
Violet rested her hand over mine and smiled. I looked her over in awe, noticing that her breasts were a little swollen. She looked healthy and supple.I noticed a cord around her neck. I pulled my hand from her stomach to reach for it, pulling out my mother’s token that she had restrung on a sturdy
Theodore’s POVMy carriage had dropped me off at the border at 9am as instructed. I waited by the road with a suitcase and my backpack, on edge. If the wrong person found me before Violet showed up…A black sedan approached, slowing as it neared me. When it got close enough, I recognized my mate’s b
“Technically,” I answered, “she is staying separate, and she’s treading carefully to do so. But I genuinely don’t know if she would still be doing all this if she weren’t also my aunt.”Cue Kincaid’s jaw on the floor again.“Oh! And Owen planted spies in Theo’s home.”Kincaid shook his head like a w
Violet’s POVIt ended up being a very, very long night.Neither Theo nor I stayed much longer at the Annual Moon Goddess Ball after the flower fiasco. Thankfully, I had done mostly all the relationship management with other Alphas before Theo’s arrival because after losing control of my magic, I was
My shoulders relaxed a fraction at the idea that there was a way out of this.“Even if you can’t stop them, I’ll walk out with you, making them vanish the second they spring from your hands. You’ll walk with your hands behind your back, and no one will notice. Everything is going to be okay.”My tea
Violet’s POVI didn’t dare glance behind me. I didn’t want to draw attention to the flowers I knew I was leaving in my wake. Every time I clenched my fists to try to stop them, it only left me with handfuls of more flowers.I didn’t know what to do other than drop them like a flower girl and pray to
Theodore’s POVSometimes Eva’s love for me seemed sincere, and in those moments, I felt bad for playing her. Then she would do something like obviously glaring at Violet across the garishly decorated ballroom before suggesting we go say hello “to be polite” when she clearly just wanted to rub being
Corine looked to her husband, who clearly knew as little as she did. “I haven’t heard of this. May I ask how you know about it?”“I’d rather not reveal my sources,” I said. I certainly didn’t want to give the other Betas reason to stop looping in Kincaid.“Something that important would have been al
