He’s my Vedarya. Mine. And only mine.

Forever and ever.

“That’s a tad possessive, don’t you think?”

“Not possessive enough if you ask me. You’re never to leave this house.”

“Not even to go to the hot spring?”

“Not without me.”

“Well, what if I have another Calling? They’ll need me.”

My body vibrates.

“Fuck them. They can figure it out on their own. I’m going to be your Vedae for the rest of my life.”

“You’re immortal.”

“Yeah, so you’ll be mine forever. End of discussion.”

He laughs at me like I’m joking.

I’m not.

“Okay, Thayla girl.”

“You know we’re only getting half this conversation, right?”

My glare snaps up to Riven and the tense wrinkles on my forehead morph to confusion.

“Huh?”

“You’re talking out loud. V isn’t talking to us.”

Oh. Oops.

“I was just setting the record straight that he’s mine and can’t go anywhere anymore.”

They all snort and V attempts to wiggle out of my grip, but I shove his little head back down to my chest. He pecks me. Hard. I hiss and keep doing what I’m doing.

“So what do you think about tonight?” Amick asks and I tilt my head to the side.

“What about tonight?”

He mimics my gesture.

“What we were just discussing prior to V landing on the table.”

What the hell were we discussing?

Amick goes to open his mouth again, but Kyzen clears his throat.

“Yemi sent a letter to Amick inviting us over there for dinner, but he declined because he thought you wouldn’t be up to it. We wanted to see how you actually felt about that.”

“Oh. Why did she send a letter to you and not me?”

“Technically, it was addressed to Thayla and her Valtrue. I am a member of your Valtrue, so therefore it was also sent to me.”
