Kindle Notes & Highlights
Your girl. I liked that too much. Something about it just sounded right.
“I—she—she crashed into me on campus. New freshman. I didn’t realize it at first, but then the wind shifted. I scented her. Mad, she smelled like one of us.”
Knox handed me the sweatshirt, his fingertips brushing mine. The second they touched, a zap of electricity coursed through me. My vision tunneled. And then I was falling.
When our kind found their mate, they had a deeply ingrained need to make sure their mate was safe and cared for. To provide for them in every way imaginable. Food was just the tip of the iceberg.
“We have to tell Cáel. He’s going to lose it.” I winced. Cáel wasn’t altogether stable. He’d been too broken for that. And I wasn’t sure what a mate bond would do to him. He might gut every man that looked at Hayden. What a hell of a mess that would be to clean up.
“Cáel doesn’t usually touch…anyone,” Knox explained. “He can’t handle the contact.”
It wouldn’t matter if Hayden never shifted. She’d still be the most important being on the planet to me. But I didn’t think that would be a problem. “I sensed power in her. Immense strength.” Knox’s head jerked in my direction. “You did?” I nodded. “She’s an incredibly powerful dragon. She just doesn’t know it.”
“Nothing can happen to you, Little One.” Those words curled around me, comforting somehow. I hugged Cáel back, sensing he needed it. “Nothing’s going to happen to me.” “No,” he growled. “It’s not. Because I won’t let it.”
“But you’re taking me there.” “You’re different.” Knox said it as though it were an undeniable truth. “Different how?” I asked. He cast me a quick smile. “You belong with us.”
“What do you think it would be like to have five men devoted to your every need?”
“Does he know that I’m going to take you to bed sometime soon and fuck you so hard you’ll feel me for days? Yes, Little Flame, he does. And he likes it.”
Cillian watched me warily. “You will always have a choice, Little Flame. But know that we were made to love you.”
Cillian straightened, tipping his head back, and his hands lifted to my face. “You’re everything to me, Hayden. Nothing can happen to you.”
