The Throne of Broken Gods (Gods & Monsters, #2)

by Amber V. Nicole

Gabby was a leash that held a rabid beast, and now that tether is gone. There is no stopping her. I can feel it now. All of us can.

Three weeks since Neverra had been missing.

Okay ive been so confused wh this hasnt been brought up, where is neverra???

I have fought kings, beasts, and gods and won. You all knew that, yet you expect me to feel sorry that you aligned yourself with a psychopath? Pity is not what I feel for you.”

Tell em

“I saw it when she first stepped out of the forest, a flicker in her eyes as if a part of her tried to crawl to the surface for you. I thought Gabby was the last tether, but you are. You are her only link to whatever mortality she has left.

Dianna tried to hide behind the violence and lovers she took, wearing it like armor to protect her shattered heart. She’d left the message, trying to prove to me she was truly gone. Only I felt in my soul how wrong it was. She was Dianna, my Dianna, and I saw clearly how broken she was now. The words she threw at me were meant to hurt me, but they originated in her overwhelming grief and pain.

I didn’t have a chance to say anything before she drove her blade through my midsection, pinning me to the ship’s metal hull. I groaned, reaching for the blade as she pushed it farther into my gut. Her eyes stared into mine as she bit the side of her lip and leaned in close. “Did I ever tell you how much I love the sounds you make?” Her nails dug into the side of my neck. “Make them again.”

This is quite the toxic relationship

Some things are meant to happen. You see death and assume it is against you, but death is natural. It is not cruel or kind. Death takes no sides. Death does not discriminate or hate. It just is and has remained since the first living being existed and will be here long after. It may hurt, but it happens to all.

“What? Do you want me to be sad? Cry in a corner? No, that girl is long gone. You made sure of that. I want blood. A fucking river of it.”

I will burn this world to ash, and when I find you, I will kill you. Then Samkiel and his betrothed can build their new kingdom from that.”

“What exactly is coming?” “Something far worse than Kaden, far, far worse.”

“Kaden took her family from her. Give her one back.”

There is no place in this world or the next that you can hide from me, akrai.”

“If I’m wrong, then so was Gabby, and I know she wasn’t. She wouldn’t give up on you, and neither will I. We can do this dance until this world burns and the next takes its place, but I will still choose you.”

“Do it.” I angled the tip of her blade above my heart. “If you are truly gone, I refuse to live in a world without you, so you’ll have to angle it farther to the right. That’s where a god’s heart lies, and mine already belongs to you, so do with it what you will.”

Alright i love him

He spoke of someone able to shoulder the burden of the crown, but I knew Imogen. Even with all her strength and wit, she could not. Only my equal could, and now that I knew my fate, the world seemed to dim.

But dianna could

“They will be drawn to each other like magnets. I’m surprised they stayed apart this long, being in the same realm. But you know they cannot be together. If they even get close⁠—”

If they even get close then what!!!

It was a soft, quick goodbye kiss to the man who, regardless of everything, kept trying to save me. “Maybe in another life,” I whispered before pulling away.

Whyyyyyyy dianna

I never planned to use it for me. I was going to send Neverra back.

She acts like she lost her mortal side but she never did

“You were supposed to leave,” I hissed as he dragged me to my feet. Logan looked at me as if I had grown three heads. “I think you’re in desperate need of new friends if you think we would ever leave you behind.”

Omg my heart

Samkiel wanted an equal, and by the old gods, they had delivered. Neverra caught my eye, sharing every thought I had through our bond, and nodded in agreement. She was our queen now. If Samkiel chose her, we would gladly follow her through every realm and back.

“You’re a fool if you think I would be happy in a world where you did not exist.”

Kindness, when not deserved, was truly a mark of strength.

If Kaden had taken you, I would turn mountains to sand to find you. I’ve reduced worlds to desolate wastes before, and I’d do it again for you.”

Hes down so baddddd

And I hated it. I hated it because I didn’t deserve it. I didn’t deserve him.

Okay dianna we get it girl you suck and dont deserve him agdjdkdkdkdjd the pity party must end at some point rightttt??

He was so sweet and kind, and I didn’t deserve it, not one damned bit.

If i read i "dont deserve it" one more time i fear i will crash out im sorry dianna

Vincent came to my side, as tense now as he was when he first started working for me.

Excuse the fuk out of me????? Vincent working w kaden?

You didn’t kill me, D. You saved me. Only you let yourself die in the process. It’s about time you live.”

“How deeply you must love someone that death itself fears taking them?”
