Violet

I had this sudden urge to ask her to elaborate. After all, that had been my plan to fish out information from her that would prove vital for me later.

But I also had a feeling, she would blurt it out in front of him the second she returned home if I immediately reacted.

So I decided to be tactical and ask her later when she was a little drunk. Hence, I quashed that thought down. For now.

We both stepped out of the cab, and I immediately froze.

The building before us towered like a giant

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 120

    VioletHe was right and I hated that he was right and my body's response to the low, insistent hum was making it very clear to both of us that stopping was the last thing I wanted."To anyone watching," Elijah continued, his tone still maddeningly calm, "you just look very focused on our dance. Maybe a little overcome by the romance of it all." His mouth curved slightly. "To your ex specifically, you look like you're barely restraining yourself from tearing my clothes off.""I'm barely restraining myself from murder!""That's not what your body language is saying."The music shifted and the dance became more structured, the pattern requiring us to spin our partners down a line before they returned.Elijah released me with clear reluctance, sending me spinning toward the next man in the formation.The moment his hand left my waist, the vibration stopped as if to indicate only he was allowed to watch me crumble in his embrace.I moved through the pattern in a daze, my body yearning to r

    VioletI only nodded in agreement and watched Veronica say something to Elijah that made him respond with a smile. That emboldened her further, and she laughed, leaning closer to his face to say something again.My fingers tightened on Marcus's shoulder."Sorry," I said immediately, loosening my grip."No problem." He smiled. "Are you enjoying yourself?""Immensely."Nate and Nicole had drifted closer to our section of the floor. I could see them in my peripheral vision—Nicole pressed close to Nate, her head tilted toward his, clearly trying to maintain his attention. But Nate's eyes were anywhere except on his childhood crush.His gaze swept through all of us, and I could see the cogs in his mind trying to figure out what was happening, the game Elijah was playing with me, and he couldn’t help but be a spectator to it.Marcus spun me gently, and when I came back around, Nate was close enough that when Nicole turned her head to acknowledge someone nearby, he leaned slightly in my dire

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 118

    VioletI stood in the corner of the room with my phone in my hand, trying very hard to look like I was doing something important and professional instead of just standing there with my heart attempting to jump out of my mouth.Elijah had moved to the opposite side of the hall after his pointed message to Nate. He was talking to Tyler now who threw a look at Nate and sneered.Meanwhile, the dance floor was starting to fill as couples moved together with varying degrees of grace. Founding family members danced politely, whereas the younger pairs swayed with more enthusiasm than skill. The orchestra had settled into something softer and romantic now, and for a second I imagined myself dancing with Elijah to the soft music, wrapped in his embrace.I watched Nate and Nicole move onto the floor as Nate smiled forcibly.Once again I wondered what story he had cooked to make up for the bruises on his face.Nicole was smiling up at him, saying something I couldn't hear, her body language sugg

  • Right Love, Wrong Alpha   Chapter 117

    VioletI made the mistake of glancing at Elijah again.He was watching me over the rim of his glass with an expression that could only be described as deeply, privately satisfied. Like a man watching something he'd arranged unfold exactly as planned. His thumb was still in his jacket pocket.I threw him a look with every ounce of desperation I possessed.He took a slow sip of his drink and did absolutely nothing.I laughed to cover up another moan that would have escaped my mouth, wanting to just get down from the stage and find the restroom. Because grabbing him and climbing him like a tree was not an option."I…I think I have said enough and more deserving candidates need to get heard. I have rambled more than enough." I raised the microphone with a smile that I was genuinely proud of. "Thank you for the platform, Alpha Carrow. I'll return it before I really embarrass myself."The laughter from the crowd was warm and genuine. Alpha Carrow was beaming, apparently delighted.And the

    VioletCassie gave me a gentle and reassuring pat. "Go," she breathed. "You'll be fine. You're brilliant when you're put on the spot."That had never been true in my life but I appreciated the sentiment.I handed her my champagne and my clutch but then recalled my phone was in it so took it back from her immediately.I gave Alpha Carrow an awkward smile and walked to the front of the hall on legs that wanted to run in the opposite direction.The microphone was handed to me by a young server who shot me a sympathetic look. I took it with both hands, which were steady on the outside and shaking comprehensively on the inside.The crowd appeared bigger from up here and there were definitely more people than I'd registered when I was moving through them.I found Cassie first, her expression warm and encouraging.Then Nate, standing with Nicole at the edge of the crowd. His jaw was set and his bruised eye was visible even from here.My gaze drifted to the aunts, who looked pleasantly surpri

    Violet"So," he said softly, "you were not lying.""I told you," I said, my voice embarrassingly unsteady. "I don't lie.""No." His thumb moved, just barely, just enough, and my grip on his lapel tightened involuntarily. "You just make me not want to take any chances.""Is that a complaint?""It's an observation." The ghost of a smile appeared on his face. "I'm not complaining."He was looking at me like I was something he was deciding what to do with me…thoroughly, carefully, in a room full of people. And that was somehow more devastating than everything else combined.My forehead dropped forward and came to rest against his shoulder, and I felt his throat make an odd noise, something like a mix between a grunt and a growl."I hate you," I said into his jacket."I thought you said you didn't lie." His hand withdrew slowly, smoothing the fabric of my dress back into place. The loss of contact was a physical ache, a removal of warmth I immediately wanted back. "Though I will correct y
