She didn’t realize she was holding her breath, but as she spoke the words her lungs ceased to work and time stood still. Perhaps she had been wrong to hinge everything on another wolf’s decision, but this moment would have come either way. When Hattori stepped into the position of Shogun the clock had started ticking. He would either take his leave of her and Ashen, or he’d remain and agree to be her husband. She was frozen as his steely gaze lifted to hers, he’d already made up his mind. When he asked about the contract Hattori knew full well where the conversation would lead and as he gazed at her Venom felt overwhelmed. Not in a bad way, but more like everything suddenly felt so right.

Like a switch was flipped or the last piece of a puzzle was fitted snugly in place. Venom felt like she was on the right path, one of the few instances in her life. He accepted her offer, Hattori wanted her too. Venom bit back the sudden sob of emotion that was allowed free as she took a breath of relief. A thrill of excitement raced over her spine, and a grin brightened her features. ”You honor me greatly, Hattori.” She offered sweetly in reply. However calm and demure she looked, inside she felt like her heart would beat out her chest and she could scarcely keep her tail stilled at her hip. ”And bring me much joy.” The young Empress felt her voice slip as the emotions beneath broke through to reveal themselves.
