“This is how the world ends,” the fate had whispered, and I was going to show them just how right fate was.
Go for it
“You promised,” I whispered as the sirens continued to wail.
That hurt
I will have my vengeance. They knew the price of touching her,
“When I burn this world to embers, and you paint me as the villain, remember, I really did try to be good… once.”
And the simple truth was I was terrified on so many levels I didn’t know where to start.
“Go home, Camilla. Spend time with your coven because she will come, and I don’t think Kaden or Samkiel can stop her now.”
They did this. They took her happiness away, and they would pay greatly for it.
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.
She was Dianna. My Dianna.
Dianna can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, 'cause she's dead.
No matter what, Dianna stole the very breath from my lungs without even trying.
“What?” “You want to help? Help. Kill them.
You are mourning, and someone like you will grieve just as hard and deeply as you love.”
“Do you see now? Do you see what your betrayal has cost me and the world?”
“You don’t need me for that. I betrayed and lost my truest friend.”
Do you know why? Because there are no boundaries I will not cross if it means keeping her safe, especially after everything you all have taken from her.
“Look at that. Gods do know how to bow.” “If you wanted me on my knees, Dianna, all you had to do was ask. You know that.”
“You should grow the scruff back, though. I like the way it tickles.” “Whatever you want.” Her smile was all fangs and cold brutality. “Whatever I want?” “Always.”
“At this point, I’m starting to think the violence is foreplay for you.” “We both know that’s not what I like.” “It’s not?” He stepped closer, encompassing me in his warmth and scent. “Come home and teach me what you do like.”
“Gods, Caleb, my balls are bigger than yours.”
If she is a monster to you, then so am I.”
“She could never deceive me, no matter how hard she may try. I could spot her in a crowd of millions.”
“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.”
“There’s my jealous girl.”
“Friends don’t abandon friends,” Neverra said, a small smile softening her face. “And you definitely need new ones.”
“I would have followed you anywhere, Dianna. All you had to do was ask.
“You’re a fool if you think I would be happy in a world where you did not exist.”
The thought of just being a simple fuck to her makes me wish to get disemboweled repeatedly. That would hurt less.”
“A whole beach?” I shook my head. “You’d give me a whole beach?” “The world, if you wish.”
“There you are. I have been looking for you.
Rhys?
If only the gods could bottle it up, I’d get drunk off of it every night.
Kaz?
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.”
“I’m not a goddess.” “You are mine.”
But this, what I felt for him? That was eternal.
“Destiny be damned?” “You are better than any destiny.”
I refuse to live without you. There will be no peace in this realm or the next. I will burn this universe down to embers for you. I will leave nothing untouched, taking apart anyone that’s ever hurt you piece by piece.
