He Hurt Me, But He Needs Me/Chihiro
FerraraVioletta wasn't in the room.I couldn't help but let a little growl escape me. I'd given her specific instructions not to leave the room, and I had two witches but no mate."She did not take the revelation that we were kin well," Evalina said dryly as she sat next to Lunessa. The younger witch had awoken and was sitting up in the bed. Relief swept through her eyes when she looked at me. "You made it. The spell was not as side-effect free as I hoped, but when I realized what it would take from me, I couldn't stop. I worried what it would take from you.""What do you mean? Did it steal your magic?""No, but it allows a secondary spell to attach. One that analyzes a person and reports back. Saris, whatever she is, definitely anticipated getting out of that bunker alive. She'll know all about my magic. She may know all about your wolf too, although maybe not considering you woke up right away." Pushing the covers away, Lunessa stood and rolled her neck. "Although the secondary spe

ViolettaThe sun was setting when I met Lunessa, Evalina, Irene, Finn, and the remaining sisters in one of the open fields. Except for Lunessa and Evalina, everybody eyed the others with suspicion.Well, also except for Finn. He just stared at a blank space, his hands in balled fists by his side."Shouldn't he be in chains?" Raven asked in a whisper. Nobody wanted to stand near him."If I put him in chains, then I put all of you in chains. Maeve has the power to take over any of you," I pointed out woodenly. "We're here to stop that.""I've never had magic done on me before. Is it going to hurt?""No, it won't hurt," Lunessa said with a gentle smile. "We do not have the power to keep Maeve from spelling your blood, but we can weave a two-part spell that will redirect it. The first part of the spell is to simply identify when magic enters your body. Once that spell is activated, it will trigger a second spell to deflect. The only bad news is that it has to be administered every twelve

Ferrara"I just don't understand," Jenson growled as he stared out the window. "How could so many people know what was going to happen and no one lifted a finger to stop it. Witches. Cults. The fucking Fae. Any one of them could have slit Maeve's throat, and we wouldn't be here."I knew the reason. Every single one of them blamed Violetta and not Maeve. If anyone had known what she was, they would have killed her, but Maeve? What was the point? In their minds, another evil would have simply risen and taken her place. They were too busy searching for the weapon rather than concern themselves with who would use the weapon."That doesn't matter. The only thing we need to concern ourselves with is fortifying the territory. We've cut off Maeve's ability to use Irene or her kids. London has agreed to start attacking shipments earmarked for Indigo Peak to try and force her to step down.""She won't," Jenson said quietly. "I have no doubt that she would rather her pack starve to death than gi

ViolettaThe door opened, and I smelled his blood before he stumbled in. With a gasp, I jumped up from the chair. Ferrara was covered in blood. "What? What happened? Are you okay? Do you need Saul? Have you shifted?""I'm fine," he growled and limped to the bathroom. I was right behind him. He wasn't fine. When he removed his shirt, I could see the blood seeping out of his wound."Ferrara! What the hell happened! Why haven't you shifted?" Frantic, I opened the bathroom cabinets, but there was nothing in there to close up a wound. Maybe because we were self-healing. And had an infirmary. Grabbing a towel, I pressed it against his wound.He stared down at me with an unreadable expression. "Finn tried to leave the territory.""What?""Is this an idea that you gave him?"Jerking my head, I frowned at him. "Of course not. I know you're not allowing anyone in or out of the pack. Why did he leave?""Why do you think? He wants to be proactive. Sound familiar?"I pressed harder on the wound, a

Ferrara"Avoiding your wolf simply because it does not agree with you is a sign of a weak alpha," Saul said without preamble as he wrapped a bandage around my thigh.I snarled at him, but it was without heat. After all, he was right. Having a strong wolf and the ability to share my life with my wolf, was where I got my power. It didn't matter. I still didn't bring my wolf out.With a sigh, the healer finished the job and leaned back against the counter to stare at me. "None of these wounds needed me. What are you really doing here?""Violetta is pregnant.""I am aware. She needs to make an appointment with me. She's had so much physical trauma that I want to make certain she's able to carry to term. I thought since her magic could heal, it would heal her as well, but her wolf still has scars. If she has any scar tissue in her womb, I want to know about it immediately."Fuck. I hadn't even thought of that. "Is the pregnancy dangerous to her?""I won't know until I examine her. Perhaps

ViolettaFerrara never returned to the room. After feeling like an idiot waiting around for him, I headed out late morning to the dining hall. Because of the hour, it was mostly empty, but I got some oatmeal, an apple, and some juice. Sitting at the table, I prayed that no one would join me and ask why I was eating without my mate. We hadn't shared a single meal since he'd returned.Luckily, everyone was obsessed about the baby, so no one even noticed that Ferrara wasn't there. The few people in the hall flocked to me and asked me a million questions that I wasn't ready to answer. Fake it until you make it, right? Ferrara and I totally had been talking names, and we were absolutely looking at a baby shower registry. Obviously, we know that we need to do that early since it takes time to get baby items into the territory, especially since we were about to face the long winter.And yeah, me being pregnant was totally a sign that Maeve wasn't a real threat. Babies were the obvious signs

ViolettaThe Confections bar was still standing. It had survived the pack's hatred of me. Would it survive Maeve and the darkness? I unlocked the door and let myself in. It was clean and pristine. So unlike how The Confections bar should be. I longed for it to be filled with people again. To be pouring drinks and joking with the customers.Not that I had many memories of joking with customers, but not everyone who came through here knew who I was. Someone told them soon enough, but for a few minutes I could pretend that I had a real job. A real place in a pack.I didn't need to feel that now. I had a place. I was Ferrara's mate. His equal. "His partner in everything," I muttered sardonically to myself. Rolling my eyes, I climbed the steps to my old apartment.The last time that I was here, Ferrara had held me in his arms and told me that I would always be safe. There were monitors up to make sure that no one could sneak up on me. This was supposed to be my safe place. Even from him.I

FerraraThe overwhelming urge to scream wrapped around me, and I had to shield myself from it. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth. Violetta. I could feel her pain sliding through me, and all I wanted to do was race to her and hold her.Gripping the edge of the desk, I grunted until I could shut her out. I couldn't go to her. I would see her tonight and make sure she made the appointment with Saul, but until then, there was someone who needed me more.Nobody had heard from Finn since he tried to run. Before London and Elonso got here, I needed to know that he could keep it together. My attention was already split in different ways, and damn it, Finn needed me.My whole pack needed me.Violetta needed me.With a roar, I slammed my fist on the desk. It cracked and buckled under my violence. Then I felt the blatant touch of magic reach out to me. "Whoever you are," I growled. "Now is not the time to fuck with me. I'm in the mood to break a witch." The magic retrea

ViolettaIt was strange thinking of my mother has a warm and cuddly young witch falling in love with a dashing young wolf. I'd seen the evidence of them being loving parents in my mind, but both of them had grown so twisted. Katherine, in the magic she'd used to hide away my magic, and Shane, in killing his mate.The more I spoke to Evalina, the more I wondered if I'd been the reason they'd twisted. Maybe there really was nothing I could do. Maybe I corrupted everyone who tried to love me.Was Ferrara on his way to feeling the darkness inside of me? Is that why he was pulling away?I left The Confections bar and started the long walk back. I could have called someone to pick me up, but it wasn't like there was anyone waiting for me. Ferrara would find some reason to not sleep with me.He hadn't even texted me all day. Even when I felt Lucy's death. I'd vomited immediately after. Evalina had assumed it was morning sickness, and when I told her Lucy was dead, she'd paled and left immedi

FerraraVioletta was throwing up again. I'd slept fitfully next to her, wishing desperately that she would curl up in my arms like she used to, but neither one of us had been able to relax. We both woke up at dawn, and in some desperation to feel normal, I'd ordered breakfast for us. We barely talked while we ate, and the tension was about to drive me insane. I knew she was frustrated with me, but I just couldn't tell her the truth. Not until I knew how to explain it to her.Whether it was the baby or the chasm between us, but one minute she was eating her toast and the next she was racing to the bathroom and hurling. Standing outside of it, I closed my eyes and tried to ignore the pain tightening in my chest. This was supposed to be my time to shine. To get her whatever she needed, to rub her feet and assure her that I still found her sexy despite being all pale and sweaty. To tell her that she was amazing for growing a baby shifter inside of her.I wanted to be a father. I wanted to
