To everyone who hates the word cunt— Cunt is the oldest known word in the English language used to describe female genitalia. It even predates vagina. Respect your elders.
“I have a gift for you, but you have to give up the rest of your party for it.” She’d planned on pulling him away after midnight when the party died down, but now seemed as good a time as any. Roman opened his mouth to say something but closed it with a snap and squeezed her hand. “I’d give up anything for you, princess.”
He was hers completely and irrevocably, and he would do whatever it took to make her his, too.
I almost lost her. He blamed himself; blamed the rebels; blamed the gods.
When the school bell rang, Roman stepped aside as the stream of students filed out of the building. He searched every face for his favorite freckles and blue eyes.
When you fall in love and the other person doesn’t catch you, you break more than a bone when hitting the ground. You break everything. Your heart. Your soul. Your confidence in yourself. It all just shatters. They must call it falling because when it’s over, you can feel your heart fall to your feet right before it breaks against the hard truth.
He didn’t need a bond to tell him Violet was his true mate. Every royal found their soulmate at thirteen years old, but Roman had found his at twelve, only to have her ripped away.
She might not need him, but he needed her. And wanted her. And loved her. He always had.
Roman would kill someone before he’d allow them to touch what was his. Because she was his, and he was hers. He’d never touched another woman, and he never would.
Griff, If you ever throw an apple at Violet again, I will cut your fucking arm off. Roman P.S. Stop taking her to watch sweaty men fight.
Yours, Roman P.S. Don’t fall in love with someone else. Come back to me.
If she rejected him, he’d lock her in his rooms until she fell in love with him again, and he didn’t know how long that would take.
“Quiet, princess. I don’t want anyone else hearing sounds meant only for me.”
“You’re not only my queen, Violet. You’re my obsession. You have always been mine, and I have always been yours. Not even the gods succeeded at keeping you from me. What makes you think something as trivial as morals would?”
“I will soak the earth beneath your feet with the blood of anyone who disrespects you.” Roman
“Stop threatening to kill people.” Roman looked down with a crooked smile. “No.”
“We’ve always been mates, princess. The gods just took a while to catch up.”
“You’re mine in every way,” he told her softly. “Forever. In every lifetime. No god or man can take you from me without joining me in death, and if they send me to hell for my sins, I will claw my way back to you, princess. Always.” “What makes you think I won’t follow you to hell?” she asked, and he felt her truth and conviction. “I gave you up once. I won’t do it again.”
Roman Covington belonged to her, and she belonged to him. She’d always wanted it, but he’d always known it.
And now Violet understood why Roman would kill, has killed, for her, and prayed she would never have to do the same. Because she would. Without hesitation.
“I thought the men in this kingdom would have learned by now that loving my wife is as dangerous as harming her.”
Roman fought the urge to wash her mouth out with soap for reminding him she’d once loved another.
“Fate doesn’t force you to act a certain way. That was your choice, and now you must deal with the consequences.”
“If you refuse to accept your queen, you will forever kneel before her.”
