🌸VIOLET🌸

The Knight Estate looked even bigger in daylight than it had the night of that first dinner, all pale stone and towering windows, and I stood in the entrance hall with my duffel bag cutting into my shoulder, trying to understand how three days of paperwork and one signature had turned into moving in before the wedding had even happened.

"I know this is sudden." Marcus Knight met us at the door himself, the way he had that first night, his voice warm in a way that still caught me off

    🌸VIOLET🌸The Knight Estate looked even bigger in daylight than it had the night of that first dinner, all pale stone and towering windows, and I stood in the entrance hall with my duffel bag cutting into my shoulder, trying to understand how three days of paperwork and one signature had turned into moving in before the wedding had even happened."I know this is sudden." Marcus Knight met us at the door himself, the way he had that first night, his voice warm in a way that still caught me off guard given everything I'd heard whispered about this family in the pack. "I wanted you settled before the wedding chaos starts. No sense in you three living out of boxes for another month, not when there's this much space sitting empty.""Thank you, Marcus." My mother's voice carried real relief, and I hated how much that relief made it hard to argue with him standing right there in front of us.He crouched slightly to meet my sister's eyes, his tone gentling in a way I hadn't expected from a m

    ā™£ļøXAVIERā™£ļøI walked through my own front door bare-chested, blood dried tight down my forearms and across my knuckles, and the guards posted along the hall straightened at the sight of me the way they always did. Their eyes flicking to the blood and then away again fast, trained well enough not to ask questions.Dorian was waiting near the stairs, and he looked me up and down once, unbothered by any of it. "You look like hell.""You should see the other twelve." I smirked."I'd rather not." He fell into step beside me, easy and familiar, the way we'd walked beside each other since we were boys sparring in this same house before either of us understood what any of it would cost us. "Both of them are locked in the east room.""Both of them?""I told you. I wasn't sure which one was actually her under that mask, so I had my men take the two dancers who matched the build and hair color you gave me. One of them is Angela or something like that." He glanced sideways at me. "I didn't want to

    ā™£ļøXAVIERā™£ļøI stood at the edge of the forest with my warriors around me, and none of us spoke, because there was nothing left to say before a hunt like this one.Twelve prisoners tonight. The ones who had crossed into our territory and killed three of our men doing it. I had waited for this moment.The horn sounded and I heard them run, their boots crashing through the brush, breathing already ragged with fear. My men spread out around me, moving the way I had trained them to move, quiet, patient, pushing the prisoners deeper into the trees instead of chasing them down all at once.I found the first one crouched behind a fallen log, shaking so hard I could hear the branches rattle above his head."You crossed our border." I crouched in front of him. "You killed three of my men doing it.""Please." His voice broke on the word. "I have a family. I have—""So did the men you killed." I didn't feel anything when I said it, not rage, not satisfaction either, just the flat certainty of a de

    🌸VIOLET🌸The club didn't open for another two hours, but Marisol had texted me to come early, and I hadn't argued, because sitting alone in my room replaying dinner at the Knight estate over and over was worse than anything waiting for me here.ā€œWhere's Denny?ā€ I asked. Our manager wasn't the type to be absent from the club."Denny's been hiding from creditors all week.ā€ Marisol replied. "You look like you saw a ghost." She was sitting on the edge of the counter backstage, peeling an orange with her thumbnail, when I dropped into the chair beside her."Worse.""Worse than a ghost. Okay." She pulled a slice free and held it out to me without looking up. "Eat something. Before you spill."I took it because refusing would have started a conversation I didn't have the energy for yet, and chewed slowly while I tried to figure out how to say the rest of it out loud.I had been turning it over since I woke up, the two of them sitting side by side in my head like they belonged together even

    ā™£ļøXAVIERā™£ļøMy father found me in the training room before I'd even had the chance to sit down, still in the shirt I'd worn to dinner, my knuckles wrapped from a session I hadn't finished yet."You stared at her the entire meal." He shut the door behind him instead to knocking, which told me exactly how serious he intended this conversation to be."I stared at my new stepsister. Forgive me for noticing the person joining this family.""That's not what that was, Xavier, and you know it." He crossed his arms, the same stance he took whenever a warrior under his command needed correcting instead of praising. "I saw your face when you walked in. I've seen that face before, on you, and I didn't like it then either."I unwound the wrap from my knuckles slower than I needed to, giving myself something to do with my hands instead of answering him right away. "You don't actually know anything about that family. Debt up to their necks, a sick daughter in the hospital, and a mother who needed a h

    🌸VIOLET🌸My phone had been sitting face up on the dressing table for twenty minutes and I still hadn't opened the message from the loan office, because I already knew what it said and I wasn't ready to read the number they had typed out this time.Marisol grabbed my wrist as she passed behind me, pulling one of the pins in my wig straight before I even noticed it had slipped. "You're up in ten. Stop staring at that thing and let me finish your mask."I turned my phone face down on the table and let her work, her fingers were quick and practiced against the back of my head as she tied the silver mask into place. My palm ached where I had bitten down on it earlier, hard enough to leave two crescents of teeth marks in the skin, and I curled my fingers into a loose fist so she wouldn't see it in the mirror."Table six wants a private room," she said, straightening the strap behind my ear. "Already paid for the hour, no questions asked.""Who is he?""I don’t know his name. I know he has
