Vicious Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, #3)

by Caroline Peckham

I’d healed most of it before the magic I’d stolen from Felix had burned out,

Why tf is felix not dead

“I should have done something about Felix sooner,” he growled. “But he’s my father’s brother…it’s hard to see family clearly sometimes.” “You shouldn’t beat yourself up for wanting to see the best in him,” I replied sadly.

Yes you should. Fuck that guy

If the snake doesn’t want to come to the mouse, then maybe it’s time I strapped on my war whiskers.

Stfu

Elise gasped as she realised what was in the box. “You want me to-” “Add a new tattoo to my collection, yeah,” I said with a smirk.

Bruh what

I needed my mamma’s food in my belly and my brothers and sisters and Rosalie huddled around me.

The wolf culture is so weird

black crop top with the words Lost Cause printed across it. The slogan seemed pretty accurate today because I still didn’t feel like I was making nearly enough progress with finding Gareth’s murderer.

Cuz she hasn’t made any progress. She literally stopped trying to figure it out, I assumed she forgot about it.

“Bing bong,” Principle Greyshine’s voice sounded over the tannoy. “I have an announcementeroo to make this morning which is going to knock your socks off. The prestigious Zodiac Academy has requested to do a student exchange programme with our fantabulous school! More informationio to come soon! Have a groovalicious day.”

You stfu rn. My jaw just dropped, I’m so excited

Good morning Leo.

How did I just notice Leon the Lion is a fucking Leo? OF COURSE HES A LEO

“You cannot change your mind, your fate is sealed,” Professor Rayburn said firmly.

I know Tory and Darius are mates. I also know Tory is incredibly stubborn and quick to blame Darius for literally everything, so I stg if they become star crossed I will fucking sob

“We’re going to play Zodiac Academy!” he cried in triumph, dropping to his knees in the mud like he couldn’t believe it was really happening.

FUCK YEA

“Elise,” Gabriel started in a tone which said he seriously thought this might be up for discussion, but he needed to get his head out of his ass because I’d spoken clearly enough.

I hate elise. Why would these guy just immediately accept her acting like that? Its not fucking normal bitch, i think they have right to be upset.

So does that factor in to your little arrangement, or am I meant to agree to your terms only?

No fr why is everyone just letting her call the fucking shots

I frowned at that thought. Would that really happen? It seemed ridiculous to even consider it. Dante, Ryder and Leon all meant so much to me that the idea of just waking up one day with silver rings around my irises and zero desire to be anywhere near them just didn’t make sense. That wasn’t who I was. Could answering fate’s call seriously change the fundamental things that made me, me?

Shes known these mfs for like a month

The ripe scent of Faesine filled the room, catching in the back of my throat and making me choke.

Did they not say only dragons can sense faesine in zodiac? Like that was the whole freshman hazing that one night, convincing the freshmen that they were doused in it and going to engulf in flames

Lance Orion,

Love and miss you lance

They had literally controlled every aspect of their kids’ conception to plan their star signs, Orders and power levels. They had created four little replicas of themselves, each as powerful as each other so they’d never turn against one another. It was messed up if you asked me. And my guess was those kids were fucked in the head.

Fair assessment

I tipped my head back and started singing Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus at the top of my lungs.

Elise why are you such an ick. This is painful to read at this point.

“I don’t want to argue with you anymore, Elise,” he said in a low voice. “So don’t,” I replied. “Just accept who I am and what I need and then we can just carry on…” I trailed my fingertips down his chest and he groaned as he knocked his head back against his pillow.

She fucking enrages me

My fingers moved to kiss a pair of flaming Phoenixes who were flying together with a Harpy over his hip.

Darcy and tory? And Gabriel?

“I guess we might as well start with those Phoenixes. I’ve had hundreds of visions about them.”

Ok so this is the connection back to zodiac. Harpy boy meets phoenix girls. Writing that totally just made me remember the girls mom was a harpy. Could gabriel be related to her? COULD HE?

I stepped up onto the sill, pushing the window wide. “Hold on tight little Vampira.”

Hold on tight spider monkey. Literally said this about Orion and Darius. Vampire on Dragon and all.

“As if I’d bother to look at your midget dick.”

I thought we werent supposed to say this word

“I’ve made myself perfectly clear from the start. I’m. Not. Choosing. It’s not a choice. I like and want you both the exact same amount. One relationship has no bearing on the other. This is who I am. I’ve always been clear about that. You don’t have to have any part of it if you don’t want to. But if you do want me then you’re going to have to get used to the idea of sharing me. And don’t ever ask me to choose again.”

Everytime i pick this book up elise pisses me off

She shrugged, but her eyes moved over my shoulder and I turned, finding Roary watching her with a smirk.

Is rosalie not like 16? Isnt roary meant to be at least like 21? Jail

I leaned in close to her ear as we moved far enough away from Roary and whispered, “You’re too young for that Leone, Rosa. He’s ten years older than you.”

Ope even better. JAIL

Lance Orion.

I get giddy every time hes mentioned

“Wake up!” I dove on top of Dante in his bed and he choked out a breath as I crushed him. I kissed him straight on the lips then smacked him across the cheek. “We’re leaving in thirty minutes, dude! Get up!”

Not them kissing again

“Twenty six minute warning! Don’t spend too much time putting your make-up on, Ryder! You look beautiful as you are.”

As much as leon pisses me off, he is rather funny

Lance Orion

FUCK YEA HES FINALLY HERE IM SMILING SO HARD RN

I ran my tongue up one side of his face. And I’d licked him too. Which made him mine.

Oh leon dont do that my smile just fell

“Because I know Lionel Acrux and he’s mentioned you like three times, which is kind of a big deal for a guy with zero hobbies except world domination,” Orion said lightly. “I’m friends with his son, Darius.”

AAAAAAH

“Oh, thanks man but I don’t actually drink. Clean body and all that, I want to focus on my game and I can’t afford to drink during the season if I want to go pro,” Orion replied with a slanted smile.

How the mighty have fallen

“You are. You’re Scar, Dante’s Mufasa and I’m Simba and Gabe is…Zazu.”

Honestly valid

“Mine,” I growled.

Kind of an ick I won’t lie

“Fine,” he hissed through my hold on him. “I yield.”

I refuse to believe that Elise beat Orion in a fight. Let’s stop glazing this tiny ass purple haired bitch.

“No one’s taking any of you away from me,” I growled possessively. “Even the stars aren’t allowed a say in that. And if they try, I’ll beat their asses too.”

Yea I officially cannot stand her. Everything she says is just cringe.

“Good evening,” a booming voice sounded from the top of the stairs and I spotted a muscular man standing there with harsh features and soft blonde hair. The woman on his arm was presumably his wife, her tight green dress pushing up her fake tits and her smile painted on as thickly as her lipstick.

Lionel is fucking blonde? Never would’ve guessed.

“You must have canapés with us in the ballroom,” Catalina said to the rest of the group. “The other Councillors and the Heirs are quite thrilled to be spending the evening with you.” The Heirs were here?

FUCK YEA

His eyes slid over her and though he was five years younger than my girl, the balls on this guy clearly weighed a ton.

Ok so the heirs are like 14 rn. Weird that Seth is obviously hitting on Elise but ok

Fuck Elise. How could she do this to me? Had she just wanted to earn my trust so she could figure out if I was her brother’s motherfucking killer?

Leon was the most obsessed with her and now hes this mad about it? I never wouldve guessed hed be the pissy one

“Are you happy now? She’s yours,” I said coolly. “Don’t be such a pussy,” he snapped and I spun back towards him with a snarl ripping from my throat.

No fr

“You listen to me, Mufasa,” he spat. “You’re acting like a two year old who just got told he can’t go to the playground because it’s raining.”

No frrrr

“Leo,” she begged. “That’s not my name,” I said sharply, disbanding the silencing bubble and walking away from her to sit alone. I didn’t even want to be beside Dante, because it looked like he’d forgiven her without so much as a thought. I could have done that for her over anything else, but not this. Not now that I knew exactly what she’d thought of me and exactly what she’d used me for.

I didnt really like leon but he is fucking enraging me rn. Whys he acting like she cursed his whole family for multiple generations. Get over it dude hes reading way too much into it.

“There’s nothing to say, Elise. You’re a liar and a fake and you just cost me my fucking dream too. I thought I knew you but it was all just bullshit. You’re bullshit. And I’m done.”

LEON STOP BLAMING HER FOR YOU OVERREACTING

My gaze fell on the Oreo packet discarded on the ground and I inhaled sharply, tossing away the one in my hand. “You’ve been drugged with a lust potion, idiot.” I reached for the packet, but Orion shot into my way with a blur of Vampire speed, stamping his mouth to mine.

Come the fuck on

“To the east of The Orb,” he said vaguely then sucked on his lower lip. “I bet you’d look real good beneath me.”

Not lance calling gabriel a bottom

I’ll be going home this weekend with my sister.”

CLARA NO

“Have you got a girlfriend?” I asked, tossing his Atlas back to him. “Nah…I don’t really have time for anything long-term. I have to focus on my game. Besides, Vampires are solitary anyway. Unless I find my perfect match, I’ll probably stay solo. I can’t really imagine meeting a girl I’d want to be around twenty four seven.”

DARCY COME GET YOUR MAN Why am i on the verge of tears rn

telling me that you don’t like one of the core parts of my personality?”

THATS A CORE PART OF YOUR PERSONALITY? FREAKY MF

“I just don’t see how sleeping around is a core part of your personality.”

This is why Gabriel is my favorite character of this series
