Ansel stands. "If you need someone to talk to, I'm here." If it's about something terrible done to Olivia, I don't want to see the video. Ansel climbs down the porch stairs. "Maddox is here."

I look at the main gait, but all I can see are shadows and odd shapes. Plus, Maddox has one of those modern cars with a silent engine, and we don't always hear when he gets here. He and his blood-brothers like to spend most of their free time on the farm when the weather is good. Winter is that time of the year when they try to date and find a wife, but so far, they haven't had any luck. Many would think women would be absolutely thrilled at the idea of being shared by three men or more, but I get why they don't want to get involved with Lords. Being vessels to demons is not easy, and many of us change, becoming cold, violent, and quick to anger. The only person shielding us from utter madness is our bonded. What woman would want to deal with that?

"Have you found Olivia?" Maddox asks once he is on the porch.

My brow shoots up. "You knew about Olivia running away?"

Maddox puts a bag in my lap. "Here, I brought you a few cartons of cigars." If not for him, I would have quit smoking a long time ago since I don't bother leaving the farm except for my duty as a Lord and book-related stuff. Maddox makes time to buy my favorite cigar brand and bring it to me. "Olivia didn't technically run away since Rueben kicked her out."

If Rueben thinks he'll ever fuck my woman, he's is more than wrong. He can fucking die of blue balls for all I care. "Why didn't you say anything while I was at the hospital?" I question Maddox.

"You needed to focus to get better. How could you help Olivia if you had remained blind because you would have looked for her? Imagine Jasper trying to run after her with his knee crushed. He would have lost his leg." Maddox doesn't tell me something that I don't already know, but he doesn't understand that I would do anything for Olivia.

"I don't care if I would have had to spend the rest of my life in darkness." How can I explain that Olivia is my light? I wouldn't mind seeing the world through her eyes for the rest of my life.
