twenty thousand, one hundred and sixty minutes since she had left, and I had counted every single one.
a man
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.
“I count every second you’re gone.”
wow
I know you’ll worry and get in the way, but I’m really fine. I just have to kill a few people.”
real
“You mean to slaughter all those responsible for her death?”
valid crash out
Is this the part where you tell me you know the real me? Please, I’ll barf my entire lunch up.”
not she shut off her humanity
“When I burn this world to embers, and you paint me as the villain, remember, I really did try to be good… once.”
“Dismantling an empire.”
fuck the patriarchy
He did not know the lengths I would risk to get Dianna back. I needed her. I needed her happy and whole and with me.
She was Dianna. My Dianna.
It burned, true death taking what had once been Ethan’s wife. Dianna leaned forward, blowing the ashes from her palm.
revenge tour
No matter what, Dianna stole the very breath from my lungs without even trying.
“I have to be honest with myself here. I really am a selfish fucking bitch.”
“Now, say hi to your dead wife.”
brutal
She wore another mortal disguise, but I recognized Dianna no matter what form she assumed. It was the way she moved, her every gesture inherently Dianna. She could not hide behind cloaks and gimmicks. Not with me.
I rubbed my hand over the smooth line of my jaw, hungry for the sight of her, even if she wasn’t in her natural form.
he is down bad
Her laugh was like music to my soul.
“You made me watch that for a suitcase you could have merely mentioned?”
he is fed up
If Dianna could do this, what could Kaden do?
i'm scared
“I warned you what would happen if you put your hands on her. You should have listened.”
I know he had never fully touched her, but that he would even try made me want to summon Oblivion to end him.
“Have any of you considered that maybe it’s her that is so mesmerizing and not what’s between her legs?”
“You really don’t know who Kaden is at all, do you?”
no bitch spill
Dianna was kind to me and helped me when I did not deserve it, so I must also be that for her.
“You’re a hopeless romantic idiot.”
LMAO
Gods, was she always this beautiful? It had been far too long since I had seen her last, and I was hungry for the sight of her.
“I dislike being apart from you this long,”
Given what we’d been dealing with at the time, we’d never discussed being exclusive, but it burned me to my core that she was with anyone else, and she knew it.
“Did it help you come, or are you still deprived, my Dianna?”
OH
Beautiful, she was beautiful even now. Not one single part of her scared me, no matter how hard she tried. The fangs, the eyes, every part was still her, and she was the only one I wanted.
Kaden killed her because of you, because of me. Once again, I was reminded that I am not a normal girl with a crush on a normal boy who gave her flowers and told her she was pretty.
crying
“I still care about you. Need you. Want you. I always will.”
“Well then, I guess that’s a problem because I don’t care about you. Not when the cost of it took everything from me.”
did she just stab me
You care about me. I know what I felt then, and I know what you felt. It was real. It’s the only thing I can still feel from you, and I will stop at nothing to have you back with me.
PERIOD
Just like the blood that runs through that perfect body of yours, saving people is ingrained in your DNA.
And now, two of the most powerful women I knew had joined forces.
bad bitches
“You should grow the scruff back, though. I like the way it tickles.”
“Whatever you want.”
i love this man
“Gods, what a bunch of pussies. You can’t even die with dignity. Good to know you’re all running around with your tail between your legs like the good little bitches you are.”
OHHHH
“Why did you do that?”
“Do what? Save you.”
clocked
“It means stop talking to me like we’re suddenly friends again because we are not.”
“Great. I despise that word. I wish to be so much more than friends.”
“How many times do I have to set you on fire, drop a building on you, or stab you before you leave me alone?”
“At this point, I’m starting to think the violence is foreplay for you.”
“We both know that’s not what I like.”
“Come home and teach me what you do like.”
raw next question
“You can’t do everything alone, Dianna.”
You let Kaden get into that beautiful head far too easily. Let his words twist what we both know is untrue. I would never hurt you or abandon you, Dianna.
I know you are in more pain than anyone should have to bear. Let me help shoulder some of this weight for you.”
