him. “Do you enjoy training me like a monkey?”
Violet spun out and threw her head back, laughing. “I always wanted a pet,”
“I can go, too,” Slayton offered from behind them. He, Griff, Ares, and Violet’s parents stood around them to see Violet off. “I will gut you if you set foot in that carriage,” Roman warned. Slayton’s cat-like grin made Roman want to knock his teeth out. “No, you won’t,” the man retorted. Violet huffed and pointed at Slayton. “Stop antagonizing him.” She turned back to Roman. “And you, stop threatening my friend.” “Best friend,” Slayton added. Roman bristled. “I’m her best friend.” “Sorry, prince, I’m her best friend,” Griff goaded with a smile to match Slayton’s. Violet hiked her thumb toward

“War.” “Yes?” “When she sees something that makes her happy, call for me. I want to see her happy, too.”
P.S. Thank you for letting War sleep with you. I feel better with him at your side.
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.
The only woman I will call my wife and mate. I am yours, and you are mine. Three hundred and thirty-seven days. Yours, Roman
Come back to me.
Roman would kill him. “Violet,” Ares half-yelled, sealing his fate. How dare he fucking yell at her?
I decided years ago,
that no matter the cost, you would be my wife.
You are my true mate, and I’m done caring if telling you what’s on my mind scares you. You’re my obsession, Violet Maekin. You always have been, and you always will be. You have owned me completely since we were children running through the palace halls. Three hundred and twenty-nine days. Obsessively Yours, Roman
“There’s a violet for every day you were gone,” he confessed, “and more for the days I missed you enough to need the pain as a distraction.”
“Quiet, princess. I don’t want anyone else hearing sounds meant only for me.”
The bastard smirked. “I am the law, princess. If I want to follow you around every day for the rest of your life and watch you collect shells or sew Slayton new chest binders, I will, and not a person in this world could stop 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?”
“There is no limit to what I would do for you.”
“Don’t blame yourself for being the rational one out of the two of us. Someone has to balance me out.”
“You’re being a brat again,” Roman told the hen before picking her up and stroking her head gently.
“Let it be known,” Roman bellowed for those around them to hear, “I have only ever loved Violet Maekin, your future queen. Any woman who says differently will be considered a traitor to the crown. I’ll not have anyone disrespect my mate with falsehoods.” He looked Violet dead in the eyes when he added, “If anyone mentions what I said about my mate in that letter, I will mount your head above my mantle.”
She gaped at him. “You can’t kill people for being assholes, Roman.” He snorted. “If I killed people for being assholes, Slayton would not be breathing, princess.” She dropped her hands and stared at him incredulously. “You killed a man, and you’re making a joke?” Roman frowned at her. “That wasn’t a joke.”
“You are everything to me.” Leaning down, he dropped his mouth to hers. “I will soak the earth beneath your feet with the blood of anyone who disrespects you.”
“I would lay my life down for this kingdom and any of you.” He ushered a still-stunned Violet forward. “Except when it comes to your queen. I would not hesitate to make a necklace of your bones if she’d only ask.”
“I love you, Roman Covington.” Roman smiled and whispered against her lips, “And I love you. Obsessively so.”
“We’re mates?” she clarified. He grinned and brought her in for a kiss. “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.”
