Age is just a number. Violeta is strong, vibrant⦠and mine. She's the other half of my soul.
Violeta -- Itās been a year since I was brought to the US and given to Rocket. Iād thought he was like the others and would only cause me pain. I was wrong. Rocket is the kindest, sweetest man Iāve ever met. I arrived an abused, pregnant teen. Now Iām a more confident woman, and I have Rocket to thank. Falling in love with him was inevitable, but now I need him to see me as a desirable woman and not a girl who needs his protection.
Rocket -- The young girl who came to live with me was more broken than Iād realized. The horrors she faced have made her stronger, but it didnāt happen overnight. Itās hard not to watch her, to want her. I shouldnāt. Iām too damn old for an eighteen-year-old woman. Sheās not as fragile, physically and emotionally, but I canāt shut off the protector inside me that wants to shelter her and keep her safe. When sheās taken, I know that the men responsible will die. I only hope that side of me doesnāt scare my sweet Vi, but nothing will stop me from spilling their blood. I just donāt know if we can end the war before it starts, or if this will only be the beginning. Iāll keep her safe, no matter the cost, because sheās mine whether she knows it or not.
