#Chapter 227

Violet’s POV Enjoy life together. Olivia’s words in Darkmoon had struck me in the moment. They had stayed with me for two days afterward, deepening the despair I’d been facing since my last hallucination. Since I had brought harm to Riley. Since I had almost killed my own mate. Enjoy life together. How could I enjoy life with my mate while preparing for war? It was not a question of whether our opponents would come for us, it was not a question of if they would do so violently. The only question was when they would strike. How could I enjoy life when my life, my baby’s life, and apparently even my mate’s life were constantly at risk from the impacts of my unstable magic? Despite the research committee Sophia had assembled, we were still no closer to finding a solution. The only thing we were closer to was at best, my demise, at worst, the deaths of those I held closest along with me. How could I enjoy my life when I had a whole country to run, to repair, to reunify?
