I Promise You (Scarred Executioners #2)

by Lexie Axelson

I pleaded with Death because her soul isn’t his. Hell, it’s not even hers–it’s mine.

“I won’t let you leave me, Ari. Grant me mercy by putting a bullet in my head, then. Because I’d rather die than live in a world where someone else has your soul and not me.”

Embrace your wounds. Embrace every single scar because they don’t define who you are in the ways you think they do. It just means you can’t be killed so easily. You don’t go down without a fight. You’re stronger than you think. Your wings may be bent, little angel, but they aren’t broken. You’re stronger than your scars. Because they’ll fade away, but your soul won’t.”

“I’ll get on my fucking knees and crawl to you if I have to, baby. I’ll burn this whole world for you to be mine forever. Say it.”
