I stared at the empty night sky, watching her dark wings beat across the sky, her sleek form disappearing into the roiling clouds. Away from me. “You promised,” I whispered as the sirens continued to wail.
Omg im already crying
So, no, Samkiel was who I was, who I would forever be, and Liam died with whatever part of Dianna’s heart fractured that night.
“When I burn this world to embers, and you paint me as the villain, remember, I really did try to be good… once.”
“You have taken someone from me with your actions—someone very precious to me. And now you have helped a lunatic corrupt her already damaged heart, shattering it into a million pieces. They are pieces I will pick up and fix, but what you have done is unforgivable. I plan to make you suffer for that transgression. Death would be a kindness, and you deserve none.”
Second, this cruel creature wasn’t my Dianna. Years of war had steeled my stomach to gruesome atrocities, but seeing her so casually holding the head of Ethan’s wife in her palm had my gut twisting.
but she is my…” I stopped, unable to say the words.
YOUR MATE
Had he taken her in every part of this place? Had she liked it? Had she made the same noises she’d once made for me? I bit back a groan, feeling as if I were being eviscerated.
This breaks my heart
Because there are no boundaries I will not cross if it means keeping her safe, especially after everything you all have taken from her. It is the highest law not to touch anyone in my court or what I consider mine. That act alone is punishable by death, and she is mine. It will be your end.”
We both had the same inky dark hair, bronzed skin, and fire. She always spoke of the fire.
I wanted a place, a purpose, something beyond hills of sand and everyday tasks. I couldn’t explain it, and my parents only looked at me strangely when I told them I dreamed of a world past ours, past the stars.
“Queen of Yejedin.” “I hate that name.” “Daughter of—”
Daughter of who!?!
“There was a prophecy of rebirth for an unraveled cosmos. A child born from celestial and one born from a god. They were meant to rule it all. Save it all.”
Hmmm
“You will have a choice. One you must make. Choose out of selflessness, and the path is set. Choose vengeance, and well, the outcome will be devastating.”
“You will have to be more specific, akrai, on what exactly I ruined. Your mood?” I taunted her. “Your panties, perhaps?” Her brow furrowed, and I saw the shock in her eyes at hearing me call her my heart in Eorian. Satisfaction filled me and made the time spent learning the ancient language worth it.
I LOVE HIM
“Always with the tone of surprise. There is no place in this world or the next that you can hide from me, akrai.”
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.”
I knew all along. He would never let me go, and the part of me I’d shut away behind a lock on a door in a house didn’t want him to.
His eyes filled with sadness. “There is no amata for you.” “What?” It was my turn for my heart to break. “I spoke to the fates because your activities have had the High Council concerned.”
NO!!! Wait this can’t be right 😭
My fingers tapped against the railing. “I know. Everything is going exactly to plan.”
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
“We just need to meddle a little more with that spell for it to work. Don’t you agree, Azrael?”
WHAT !
I have been with countless beings, traveled between worlds, saved thousands, and fought creatures that could swallow worlds. Yet this woman with a fiery attitude has burned me to my very core. I let her in during the worst part of my existence, and now she is in my bones. My every thought, every dream, is of her, and I can’t eat or sleep. I haven’t even been inside of her, Logan, not really, not like Cameron or Vincent suspects, but she’s burned into my soul, my very being. And I hate it. I hate that it’s not simple anymore. I hate feeling so strongly for someone who does not feel the same.

When he surfaced, he looked up at me and flipped me off. For the first time in months, I smiled.
I love this partnership lol
Your life becomes their life, and your power becomes their power, and so on.
I was fury and desolation. Vengeance and hate. Beginning and end. I was death incarnate.
“Seek revenge for the sister that was not even of your blood.”
Wait....
He risked his crown, his throne, and the damned world for her because Dianna was a queen worthy of any king.
HELL YES SHE IS
“... you merely speak my true name if you have the slightest headache, and I’ll return sooner than I intend.”
“I told you before I would show you eight ways to make you forget that hideous friend word. Tease me again, and I shall show you twelve, and after your little display, we’ll start in the bathroom,”
Raw next question
“A whole beach?” I shook my head. “You’d give me a whole beach?” “The world, if you wish.”
“Well, it’s not like you will discuss it when we get back. You’ll leave. Again,” I snapped, leaning a fraction away from him. “I am not the one who left, Dianna. You did.”
Daaaaayyyyummm sammy boy
“I need you to understand what you’re doing. What you are asking for. I know what I said before about you using me, but I lied. The second I touch you, once I take you completely, there will be no other. I will not share you. There will be no other lovers. I am not Kaden. I will demand you and only you. Do you understand? You mean too much to me. If we do this, you are mine, and I will not share you.”
RAW!!
Samkiel had transformed the room without his hands ever leaving my body. I glanced around, seeing he had laid me on the floor where the couches had been. A large thick duvet and plush pillows in various sizes and colors cushioned my body. Hundreds of candles lit the room with a golden glow. A small smile curved my lips when I noticed the petals that decorated the floor, their scent hanging heavy in the air.
Oh my gaaawd 😭
“Good girl.”
IM SCREAMING!!!
Something in me had shifted, and I had become a humble stranger to myself. I wondered if he felt it, too. All I knew was that a bond had solidified between us tonight. It felt different, stronger, unbreakable, and very, very dangerous.
Neverra shrugged a little too quickly. Imogen scratched behind her ear and suddenly became interested in the book she’d just closed. Logan avoided everyone’s gazes and slunk further down in his chair.
Hahaha i love the cadre
“I mean, she’s mortal or close to it now, right? How much godly dick can she take before she breaks?”
Im crying lol
“Holy gods, dude! Put that weapon of mass destruction away!”
I cant stop giggling at this whole scene
Three generals ran this place: one who sheds blood, one who controls it, and one who feasts on it. Only two stayed after the Great War. Then one came back, took the prisoners from here, and rained fire on Rashearim.”
“Kings don’t beg.” His hips thrust helplessly. “I will for you.”
Yyyyasss queen!!
