“Words don’t mean anything. Anyone can promise me the moon, but I’ve never seen anyone pull it from the sky.”
“While the Lunars were away and I was left at home, Inferno’s aunt, Mariella Oscura, came for me.”

The FIB were the only fuckers permitted to have blades made of it; it was created for killing Nymphs.
All I ever learn about is how The Savage King started wars all over Solaria and blah blah blah.”
“So long as you don’t challenge me for the Alpha position,” I taunted. We always joked back and forth about it, but if any of my younger relatives were Alpha material, it was her.
Katherine King.
I flinched as something touched my shoulder and my heart leapt half way out of my skin as I found a black snake about the size of a python lowering itself out of the tree to join me.
“You want me to feel for you?” Ryder asked,
“Yes,”
“Well I do,”
“I feel more for you than I’ve felt for anything in so long that I can’t even remember.”
The prestigious Zodiac Academy has requested to do a student exchange programme with our fantabulous school!
Astral Adversaries – who are mortal enemies driven together by the stars to clash over and over – have been known to be asked a question of fate too.”
“Yes, on occasion, very rarely, there have been Astral Adversaries brought together under the stars. Not to be bonded, but to be unbonded.
hate is such a potent emotion that it can taint one’s being.
Elise wanted all of us.
She was ours. And I was gonna work my way around that stupid-ass deal he’d struck with Ryder as best I could.
I smiled lightly and gave him a salute in return as I moved
A snort of laughter drew my attention and I looked up to find Ryder biting down on a smirk. Leon noticed too and his smile widened.
“Hell, I doubt the Savage King himself could make that guy do anything he didn’t want to if he was still alive.”
FIB Barry no balls.
“There’s a storm coming which even you won’t be able to ride.”
He got up, heading off down the path without looking back. I hadn’t even paid him.
A guy around my age with raven hair and dark eyes was kneeling in a cave, a shining dagger in his hand.

“You’re mine,”
“Mine,”
just think that the emotional support you get from pure friendships can be supremely important.”
I offered him a salute as thanks before jogging back
“You’re my Elysian Mate, Elise,” Gabriel said angrily. “I don’t even understand how you can spare any attention for these assholes now, but once we’re bonded you’ll hardly even remember they exist.”
I tossed them a salute and shot away before I had to hear any more of it.
“Good girl.” I moved behind her, brushing her hair away from her neck. “So what am I going to do with you, baby?”
“I don’t really care what you’d do with a good girl, Ryder, but I’d like to know what you’d do with a bad one.”
“Look at me.”

jumped off of my bed, saluting her and heading back out the door
But when I thought about the men in my life, I had to wonder if that was really the case anymore. They certainly made me feel like they cared about me.
“Have you been having any more trouble with the Vampire?” Nightshade asked, lowering her tone as they crossed the room. “Not since the incident. I’ve reinforced the magic though and I don’t foresee any way that it could happen again.”
“Che diavolo è successo, amore mio?” Dante’s panicked voice came to me in my fog of pain a moment before his hand met with the flesh of my back. I cried out again as he pushed healing magic beneath my skin, and slowly the agony retreated until all I was left with was the scent of smoke and the aching emptiness within me where my magic should have been.

“But I’m not the same girl as I was before my brother died,”
“And his death did something to me, took something, broke something in me so profoundly that I feel like I’ve been torn into all of these pieces which just don’t fit back together properly anymore. But when I’m with you, when I’m with any of you, I don’t feel like that…I feel like each of you really sees me. But each in such different ways. And I need all of you.

I couldn’t find it in me to smile, even though the sight of her always made me smile. But not right then.
