“Stop bringing logic into an emotional argument.”

“Stay and talk to your brother,” he says quietly. “Who knows when you’ll get another chance.”
🥺
“Secrets make for poor leverage. They die with the people who keep them.”
Dain takes the lead, clearly trying to step into Xaden’s boots. But he’s no Xaden.
Home. Gods, he tastes like home.
This is where I want to live, where nothing else matters but the way he makes me feel.
“Yes, whenever you want, because I’ll live with my mouth attached to yours if I do it whenever I want.”
“But I’m begging you, Violet. Don’t offer me your body unless you’re offering me everything. I want you more than I want to fuck you. I want those three little words back.”
Stories can change depending on who tells them.”
I’m striving to be better for you just like I promised, but I need you to know that monster is still there, screaming to use every ruthless part of me to get your words back.
He’s the horizon, and nothing exists beyond for me.
“Maybe you’re not the one I’m reminding.”
Nothing about war, or the aftermath, is kind.
“Violence, remember it’s only the body that’s fragile. You are unbreakable.”
“I’m not always calm or collected, and I’m never in control when it comes to you.”
🧎🏽♀️
“I would have done the same thing you did because I’m just as reckless for you as you are for me.”
You want my heart back? Risk yours first this time.”
👏🏽
He kisses me like I’m the answer to every question.
“However much you think you need this, need me—I need you more.”
I want to be the only person he unravels for.
“You’re currently a prize annoyance.”
LMAO
“To which I will remind you that not a single dragon chose her. You were selected by two. Pull yourself together.”
we love tairn
“Power must always be kept in check,
“There’s nowhere in existence you could go that I wouldn’t find you, remember?”
“You’ll lose everything you’ve worked for.” My voice breaks. “Because of me.” “Then I’ll have everything I need.”
I’m sorry if you expect me to do the noble thing. I warned you. I’m not sweet or soft or kind, and you fell anyway. This is what you get, Violet—me. The good, the bad, the unforgivable. All of it. I am yours.”
🧎🏽♀️
“You want to know something true? Something real? I love you. I’m in love with you. I have been since the night the snow fell in your hair and you kissed me for the first time. I’m grateful my life is tied to yours because it means I won’t have to face a day without you in it. My heart only beats as long as yours does, and when you die, I’ll meet Malek at your side. It’s a damned good thing that you love me, too, because you’re stuck with me in this life and every other that could possibly follow.”
“What you want to be doesn’t change what you are without work.”
!!!!
I locate him within a heartbeat because he’s the center of my gravity.
“I chose you last year for that brilliance, and now you’d like to be congratulated like it’s something new? How odd.”
LMAO tairn 😭
The problem with mankind is we too often find our souls to be a fair price for power.
Holy shit. She fights like Xaden. He trained both of us.
OH JUST BREAK MY HEART IT’S FINE
“That you’re obsessed with fighting over a man.”
ooop
How dare she come after what’s mine. He isn’t a crown. He isn’t a stepping stool for power. He isn’t a tool to elevate her standing. He’s everything.
“My house. My chair. My woman.”
🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️🧎🏽♀️
“Because I need you to see I’m more than capable of worshipping your body without reciprocation. You’re not a convenient placeholder for me to fuck.”
“How could you ever love someone like her?” “I didn’t.” He shrugs. “You are the first and only woman I’ve ever loved.”
“I knew that the second he kissed you after Threshing. It looked awkward as fuck.”
LMAO i love jealous xaden😭
If I have to evolve, you do, too.”
“Because Garrick and I heard the end of what he said in the interrogation chamber, and trust me, I might be in love with him after that declaration,
LMAO dain pls 😭
“Stop talking to yourself,” Tairn grumbles, as though I’ve woken him. “It makes us both seem unstable.”
tairn needs to go on the road fr
“Fear isn’t always logical.”
“I could torch him if you would like,” Tairn offers. “But you do seem attached.”
pls lmao 😭😭😭
I love you enough to bear the weight of your disappointment.”
“You’re capable of hurting me in ways I’m not sure you’ve even begun to fathom, Violet. I might be skilled enough to land a death blow, but you alone have the power to fucking destroy me.”
I can’t make it stop. I don’t want to. You’re my gravity. Nothing in my world works without you.”
“I love you. The world does not exist for me beyond you.”
“Even Malek himself couldn’t keep me from you.”
You took Liam. You may not have Sawyer.
💔
I am alone in thinking the knowledge of wards, the protections they provide, should not solely benefit Navarre, and it has cost me everything.
