Violet crept away from the door as she heard Sin and Jamie make their goodbyes.

“Christ, just dinna kill him.” Meri begged, pulling her towards the kitchen just as the door to the study burst open and the males came prowling out.

She was in shock, flat on her arse flabbergasted, so dumbfounded that she only recovered herself when Meri shoved her down into a chair and placed a sweet cup of tea in front of her.

“I…why wouldn’t he tell me?”

Meri bent forward and squeezed her hand, offering comfort where it wasn’t needed. She was in shock, not on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Did the fact that she was some super intellectual bug her? Fuck no, who wouldn’t love that. Was she upset about having super blood? Ah, never!

And the fact that she was pregnant….it still boggled her mind that he would know so soon after…but the thought of it elated her. She would never have imagined herself wanting a kid, but now that she knew there would be a baby, she felt…whole in some way. She didn’t have words, her mind was too full of the possibilities, but it made her feel like she belonged.

What she couldn’t fathom was his reaction to the hint of her being used in anyway. He’d actually yelled at his own grandfather, refusing to save thousands of warriors from death in battle, all to save her from a few blood donations.

She fucking loved him.

LOVED him.

And the fact that he was even now conniving a way to swindle her into a mating ceremony…she didn’t think it was possible to love a male more than she already did. Call her crazy but she was kinda into the fact that Ben was so intent on having her he’d use any means possible to get her. His cunning machinations made her feel wanted.

“Mayhap he’s afraid ye’ll reject him and go off the deep end if ye know his blood…did that to ye?” she said, clearly at a loss for words.

“Meri, I’m not pissed about his blood going Hulk on me, or the fact that he can smell a pregnancy this early-God, it makes me cringe to know you guys can smell that well-no, the thing that’s bugging me is the fact that he seems to be frightened of me.”

“Not frightened of ye love. Frightened of losing ye. There’s a difference. Ben may have been slow to the gates on the whole love thing, but now that the idiot’s stopped lying to himself he’ll move heaven and earth to ensure he doesna lose ye. Skyborne males, especially warriors, canna live without their females. That’s why he willna let ye out of the castle. If ye were to be harmed…or killed.” She shuddered violently. “Dinna think for a minute he’d have enough time to mourn ye ‘fore he offed himself.”

Violet reared back in horror.

“He’d kill himself. For real?”

She’d read a few accounts of males choosing oblivion after the death of a mate, but she hadn’t really thought about it above the sadness it had evoked.
