"Enough shame. You've done nothing wrong. It's your right to desire our mate and to claim each other without restraint," Thalia murmured in Violet's mind — bold, brazen, and entirely unhelpful.
Violet clenched her jaw and ignored her. The wolf's raw, unfiltered need had almost cost her control moments ago.
Thalia huffed. "You forget I'm a beast, Violet. I have needs."
Of course she did. Violet exhaled sharply.
She always forgot that her wolf wasn't some refined, reasonable creature. Thalia was primal and passionate, always pushing her straight toward mating — never pausing to consider the delicate group dynamic of having one unmated Alpha in their harem, the one they were all holding back out of courtesy.
"You know I can hear every single thought you're having," Thalia reminded her dryly.
Violet could practically feel the wolf roll her eyes.
"Just let me breathe, Thalia," she muttered inwardly.
Of course, silence answered her.
