Violet’s POVThe pride I felt from being able to control my magic, even briefly, quickly vanished as my stomach sank at Auntie’s words. She knew I had magic.“So it’s my magic and not the baby’s?”Still as a serene lake instead of the turbulent ocean I felt rocking inside me, Auntie shrugged slightl
Auntie studied me for a moment. “Are you sure you haven’t used magic before that?”The memory of my father appearing before me in the courtroom, and then again yesterday at the feast, popped into my mind. Perhaps that was part of my magic, but even that was still no more than six weeks ago. “Definit
Theodore’s POVMy chest constricted at Marcy’s words and at the sympathy in her eyes that I hadn’t seen before this moment. Someone who knew my mother…My stomach churned with emotions: the pain of my mother’s loss, the joy in possibly finding out more about her, and the fear of Violet’s and my futu
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

Theodore’s POVI held Violet’s hair back as she retched into the toilet of Marcy’s bathroom. We couldn’t blame the wine since Violet obviously hadn’t had any, nor the food that hadn’t made anyone else sick. No, this was caused by something I couldn’t help but feel a little responsible for.I rubbed
Violet’s POV“Wait – you have seven aunts?” Theo exclaimed. We had settled on the far side of the middle table next to a bowl of boren mushrooms that my husband was favoring. I tucked that little preference into my mind for future use.“Six aunts,” I chuckled at his incredulity as I corrected him. “
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

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
