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
Violet I got my tech team, led by Lily, working on getting the voting system we used for various things expanded and made available to the entire country through the internet. She’d have it done by early the next day since it was already hosted in the cloud. I made a note to shift some things arou
“I am okay with sharing a bed, but I still want my own space.” I smiled. “Do you really want my socks crowding yours?” He smiled, his eyes a little dreamy. His eyes flashed. I was going to have to help him get a hold of his instincts sooner rather than later. “Well, I don’t want your socks crowd
Violet He licked his lips. His gaze dropping to my lips as I leaned over him, pressing my breasts against his chest and pressing him flat on the bed. I ran my hand through his hair. His eyes fluttered. His hands came up to grasp my hips as I brushed my lips again his. I knew enough to know tha
Theo’s gaze became unfocused, and I knew he was replaying the scene from dinner. “So you faked your reaction,” he concluded, but then his brows bunched. “To the point of vomiting?”I hesitated at that. “That was unintentional. I imagined losing you to make my response more believable, but I must hav
Violet’s POVI had been greedy.I could see how distraught Theo was, how deeply he had believed my false devastation. But as he set me down in my shower, I realized what I needed to do. I realized this might be the last minutes I had with him for an unknown amount of time.So instead of comforting h
Theodore’s POVI didn’t understand why the Moonstone glowed.Yes, I felt some sort of pull toward Eva, but everything about her felt off. And I still also felt a pull toward Violet, even if it did feel battered and beaten. Then I turned in horror to Violet out of habit, turned to my mate who I had p
Violet’s POVYou knew this would happen.A remnant of a long-lost fear whispered in my ear, reminding me of the belief I once felt so strongly: that Theodore and I were only together because of a contract, a transaction, a business arrangement and that I would be smart to never become emotionally en
Theodore’s POVIt was like a fog had settled in my brain. A fog laced with pain.The fog took me under at the temple. Scrambled my senses in what appeared to be a hospital. Only one thing kept me conscious.Alari. My wife, my mate, my Violet.Anger dissipated the already fading fog as I put together
"I don't imagine you're here to check on your brother," I said, not looking at him directly. "So, what brings you here, dear brother-in-law."I let my gaze drift toward him, taking in his irritation. He looked furious behind his almost placid expression."More on business," he said."We will be retu
VioletHe passed out as I expected, but the fact that he didn't even know who I was talking about spoke volumes. He was sickly pale, drained, flushed. Blood still smeared on his face and neck.Lily said he'd started to bleed from his nose and ears, convulsing and speaking a language neither of them
“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
