#Chapter29 Brother-in-law

Violet Theodore laughed. “Don't be so sour-faced. You should be happy I actually came. Who was going to drag me here if I decided not to show, after all?” Owen pursed his lips and turned, his gaze sweeping over me dismissively. “Luna Donovan.” I tried not to twitch at the address. He knew damn well I was the alpha of record for Darkmoon. I cracked a smile. “Brother-in-law.” He flinched, and Theodore snickered. Owen turned back inside. “Come along.” It was somehow assuring that Owen was as much of an asshole as I expected. It meant the plan I had to get through this, knowing Theodore and suspecting all I suspected about this situation, was going to go off without a hitch and serve to set the standard for how we’d interact going forward. I fell into step with Theodore, following the odd processional to a large, formal dining room. His mother looked older than her years and neatly stitched together in the gown she wore, which was too formal for this meeting and gaudy.
