“Because I don’t share what’s mine,” he said, the heat of his gaze burned into my back.
I decided who I wanted and who I didn’t. This was my life, my body, and I got to choose what happened to it.
“You ignite a different type of fire in me. One that I’m afraid if I give in to, I will never be able to let you go,”
If I gave myself fully to her, there’d be no going back. The thought of her changing her mind, or denying me had terrified me and I’d pushed her away again before I could find out.
These people needed change.
I needed to protect her from his grasp.
“Bellamy isn’t as bad as you may think. He’s a decent man, and will make a good king someday. It may be worth giving him a chance,”
Even if her father was the king, I’d seen how he treated his children. I had no reason to believe them loyal to the man.
I’d kill anyone who laid a hand on her.
“You’re family now, Koraine. I will always look out for family,”
If the prince had no feelings for me, then I would accept that and move on.
I came to Abelon with so much hatred in my heart, and I no longer wanted to feel that way.
“I want this, Bellamy. I want you.
I couldn’t stand to lose anyone else I cared for. It was easier to shut her out, keep her at a distance until this was over, if it ever did end.
Bellamy would’ve killed Cyrus for laying a hand on me had no one stopped him.
“Just promise me, no matter how much of an asshole my brother is, we will always remain friends,”
My heart mourned for everything I could’ve had with Koraine.
I knew, although I couldn’t give her my heart, I would burn the world for her.
The king wanted me to convince my kingdom to join in a war they had no part in.
She needed a safe space in this kingdom.
“Ervin mentioned you told him about your home and how you missed it. I wanted to give you a small piece of Morwen here.”
At least together we stood a better chance of surviving, especially with war on the horizon.
From the moment you stepped off that damned ship I knew you were going to be my weakness.
You have a hold on my heart, that no matter how hard I try I can’t shake.”
“You belong to no one,” I assured her in a low growl.
“What if right now, I just want to belong to you?” She glanced up from under her thick eyelashes.
“I belong to you. Every last part of me is yours, Bellamy,” she said, catching her breath.
“You are mine right now, and you will be patient as I pleasure every inch of you.”
“If you don’t like what I am doing, stop me, but otherwise relax and let me worship you like you deserve.”
“Goddesses, you are going to be my undoing,”
“I know it may not mean much, but I want you to know I whole heartedly choose you,”
Koraine was worth more to him dead than she was alive.
“I promise I’ll protect you even if it means my own life in trade,”
I was getting Koraine out of this damned kingdom before it was too late.
As we set sail, I turned back, glancing at my kingdom. I tried to take in every detail I could, unsure when, if ever, I would return.
“She won’t hurt you,” I assured her. “Imry only harms those I command her to. I would never allow her to so much as singe you.”
“I just want to save my sister and protect my kingdom.”
We fucked like the world was ending.
“You are divine, my moon,”
“If I am the burning sun, ruled by flames, then you are my moon, ruling over the tides and completing the missing half of me.”
I realized this was everything I had ever wanted. I may be on the run from my father, and our lives may be at risk, but I had her. She was everything I wanted. Needed.
