Kindle Notes & Highlights
My heart broke with betrayal as it sank in what this meant. My father had abandoned me when I needed him most. Loyal to the king without question, even if it meant sacrificing his own child. I would pay for his past.
My father may be willing to sacrifice his family, but I wasn’t.
That traitor! He was no longer family to me. He may be my blood, but I had no more loyalties to him. Not after he’d abandoned me so quickly. I didn’t think I could ever forgive him.
I let the tears keep flowing, because the moment my feet hit the ground in Abelon I would no longer be able to show this weakness.
My heart was hardening, a solid layer forming around it to protect me from ever feeling this pain again.
“You will play your part here, or you will not live to see your kingdom again. You will marry my son and produce heirs. I have not forgotten the lives your father took,” he barely whispered the threat. I shuddered as the words sunk in. “Do you understand?”
Morwen’s king was brutal during the war, and I couldn’t imagine he’d miss the opportunity to let his people know exactly who was responsible for Abelon’s queen’s death.
In a world of stars, Koraine was the moon.
“I suggest you do not ever let me hear mention of my wife on your tongue again, or you just might find yourself without one,”
“You can conquer this, these feelings are only temporary,” Bellamy whispered. “What?” I asked, turning to face him. “You can conquer this, these feelings are only temporary. It’s what my mom used to tell me when I couldn’t calm myself down as a child.”
“Why’d you stop him?” I asked. My back was still to him. I couldn’t bring my self to turn around. I was terrified of the answer he might give. “Because I don’t share what’s mine,”
“I belong to no one,” I whispered, the confidence in my voice wavering. “Say that again,” he dared.
“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,”
In that moment, I knew, although I couldn’t give her my heart, I would burn the world for her.
“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.
“Say it again,” I whispered, needing to hear the words once more. “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.”
“My name on your lips is the only thing I ever need to hear again,” he whispered,
We fucked like the world was ending.
“You are divine, my moon,” Bellamy whispered. “Moon?” I questioned, pulling back. I’d never heard him use the name before. “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 don’t need a large bed to make you never want to leave those sheets,”
