Swiftcurrent Creek violet curse

The dark man was an idiot. 

Arric spoke of protecting Suzu like she belonged to him. Like her children - Swordfish's children - were his own. He swung his dick around like he was expecting the world to bend over for him. The young bear-hunter couldn't imagine what had compelled Akavir to lead alongside such a cocky man. It didn't matter. Swordfish wanted nothing to do with Arric. The dark wolf could drag himself through the river. 

Swordfish lifted his heavy-lidded eyes to Arlette and canted his head. 

And if she wants me to stay? 

What then? Self-righteous rats. They acted as though they knew him, knew his intentions. They acted like he was a greater threat to his own children than anything else in the world. And it filled him with unspeakable rage.
