Chapter 0030 Violet Lucas hesitated , glancing away . For a moment , could almost see his thoughts racing , as if he was debating how much he dared to reveal , I asked you a question . What did you mean by that ? Lucass gaze burned into me . He set his jaw . I glanced at Theodore . I could see the rage brewing in him , but before I could speak , Lucas lunged forward , hands reaching out as if he could close the distance by sheer will . But he didnt anywhere . The warriors shoved him back , but there was something else that pushed him even further back , an almost invisible force that threw him back and to the ground . I doubt anyone noticed , but I did and filed it away for investigation later . I walked down the steps , ignoring the warning glint in his eyes . Get him on his feet , I said . The warriors dragged him up and held him in place , but they remained between me and him . It was touching . Just the other day , I thought they would never accept me , and here they were defending me with such ferocity . I stopped at the base of the stairs . Lucas pushed and pulled against them . His hands clenching and unclenching as he looked at me , something wild in his expression . Violet , he said , his voice cracking . Violet , please ! Were fated . You and I we were meant to be ! You cant just- You have never had the right to tell me what I can and cant do . I scoffed . And all Ive done is move on . Come back to me , Violet . You know I love you . You know were fated . Just like your parents . I stared at him , feeling that old , gnawing ache twist into something colder , thinking back . to all the time hed said that exact phrase . Had he ever actually told me that he loved me ? The only reason Im not killing you right now for having the gall to compare yourself to my father is because I havent had breakfast yet , and Id rather not waste another iota of strength on you . I narrowed my eyes and clenched my fists , making sure my knuckles popped in a threatening manner . I suggest you take the grace of your timing . It wont your timing . It wont stop me next time if you ever breathe a word of my parents again . He paled . My expression must have been colder than I thought because he shrunk back , and the warriors holding him looked impressed Leave , Lucas , before he exercises his right to kill you . I glared at him . Theodore grinned . I would never allow you to get your hands dirty like that , my luna . Violet , please , you cant deny the truth . Were still I know you can still feel me . Were still connected . Only because you were too much of a coward to face me at temple and break our bond like you had a shred of honor . I set my jaw . After everything youve done , you still had the nerve to come here . I stop expecting you to uphold any promise you made to me the night of the party . Id suggest you get back to Nora and keep working on that son and daughter you promised her . His jaw dropped open . I snarled at him . Dont ever come back here , or Ill have him shoot you on sight . I scoffed and turned back . Release him . I heard him stumble . Wait ! What about your people ? I looked back at him . The amount of damage you could possibly do right now is so minimal that Im not worried about it . Youll make them uncomfortable , and perhaps by the end of it , theyll learn too not to bite the hand that feeds them . His eyes were full of desperation . B But- You heard her , the warriors said , shoving him back . Get going and drive slowly . You cant do this . I know you still care about them Ill do a lot more than just make them uncomfortable if you dont come back with me . I stopped at the foot of the stairs . I didnt bother to look at him . I looked at Theodore . He cocked an eyebrow . Actually , before you go we need some information from you , I smirked . whats the name of your lawyer ? The Twining River lawyer , to be specific . He sputtered . You- Im still Alpha of Darkmoon . Galeas works on retainer , I smirked . You dont have the money to pay him , and why would I authorize payment for him to work for you ? I turned to look at him with a smirk . Especially in an assault case ? He stammed . Theodore , do you think they would count it under domestic assault ?
