Both Violet and I stiffened slightly at the cold tone of his voice.
That was his first question? After seeing his chosen mate for the first time after who-knows-how-many days apart? I was shocked, but I wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. For once, Soren's ire wasn't directed at me, and the fact was as surprising as it was welcome.
Even Violet seemed caught off guard, not expecting Soren's tone to be so cold and distant, and for his words to sound more like an accusation rather than a question of concern. She blinked, the tears that had welled in her eyes now forgotten to shed. It was as though her eyes had promptly sucked back the tears they had painstakingly produced for her little act once they realized the audience wasn't liking it.
