"You want to Owen to show up at your house? Likely with Lucas?"I set me jaw."Something tells me that the Donovan wards wouldn’t even let him inside."I blinked and looked up him. "You… You can feel their hostility?"He grimaced. "I think I might be feeding it, actually."I sighed. "Okay, but… what
VioletTime seemed to slow. My voice echoed through the area. His hand was raised, reading toward the pillar that was emitting a swirling white light. He was too close. It was drawing him in.I could feel it but I ran faster, launching myself at him."No!"I slammed into him, my full weight knocking
A muscle ticked in Theodore’s jaw. “Fuck.”I huffed out something almost like a laugh, shaking my head. “Yeah. Exactly.”He ran a hand through his hair, exhaling sharply. I could see the anxiety building in his shoulders.“So what do we do?”“Wait for the High Priest to come. His presence should hel
TheodoreThe rush of power was heady, but the sight of what that magic was doing stole my breath with awe. The stones we'd had transported lifted into the air as if lifted by a giant invisible hand, melting, molding and slotting into place with perfect precision into the phantom constructs I'd seen
Tonight was the night of the parry, just a few days before the Capital Court date had been set, and while I wasn't worried about the court date or whatever Owen would pull out of his ass, there was a sense of unease that I hadn't been able to shake all day.From the grand window of the main chamber,
VioletThe view from the main chamber was striking. Midnight Castle, newly restored, loomed over the flood of guests arriving through its grand gates. The glow of lanterns illuminated the winding path leading up to the entrance, their golden light catching on polished carriages and gleaming jewelry.
His eyes glimmered. I felt his doubt ease like the tumultuous emotions in him, smoothing into one smooth river running from him into me.Love. Care. I closed my eyes, basking in it, leaning into him.“So stop overthinking it and relax.”Theodore exhaled, then shook his head, a small smirk pulling at
Violet“Alpha Nightshade,” the alpha hissed, voice dripping with contempt. “I believe we have unfinished business.”The crowd parted slightly, all eyes turning toward the confrontation. I reached Theodore just as Olivia stepped aside. The two noble sons didn't move. This close I got a better look a
"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
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
