Chapter 44 Bride

• Violet’s POV
• I swallowed, turning to Theodore. My eyes were wide, but I did as I was told. My hands were so small and delicate looking in his, trembling subtly. He smiled at me as the smoke weaved around our hands, tying them together.
• I wasn’t prepared for the jolt of awareness that went through me as the smoke became solid. My attention was narrowed to the man standing opposite me. Theodore’s presence seemed to fill the space between us, his gaze steady, his expression calm yet utterly serious.
