Kindle Notes & Highlights
Control. It was such a small word. Two syllables, barely more than a breath, but it held such weight.
Did she know that every time she said my name like that, with those wide eyes and soft voice, it did something to me? That coupled with her lilac scent, it made it harder to think? To breathe? To live?
“Every single moment of every night, from here until the end of time, you will have me.”
“I love you more than books and research and science. I love you more than coffee and chocolate.” Stealing another kiss, I continued. “Sebastian, I love you more than anything else I’ve ever known in my entire life.”
“I love you,” I whispered against his lips. He groaned, as if my words were a fine delicacy prepared by world-renowned chefs, and he’d taken the first bite of the most exquisite food in existence. “Say it again, darling.”
He was the moon to my stars, the air in my lungs, the other half of my soul.
“I choose you, Sebastian Montquartier. I choose this life. I choose to remain by your side, always.
“Believe me, Princess, when we come together for the first time, I’m going to need you to be well-rested.”
My head grew heavy, and sleep was not far off. “I’d like to meet the merfolk,” I whispered. “Would you take me there?” “Darling, I’ll take you anywhere.”

“Two queens, both of darkness, rule the Four Kingdoms,” the Fortune Elf intoned in a deep voice even as his face paled. “One of flames, one of shadows. Both dance with death, and evil runs through their veins. Neither will fall easily, but fall they must. The Gilded Amulet has been found, and the harbinger is here. The end is near.”
“Death will come to all those who do not heed the call of fate,” Keven said. “Watch and listen, for the day of action will soon be upon us. When the moon is red, the time has come. On that day, the Queen of Shadows must die, or all will be lost.”
The Sunwalker.
My wife. My Bound Partner. My everything. I wouldn’t let anything or anyone take her away from me. Not even the queen.
“You’re mine,” I whispered. “I love you more than life or death itself, darling. You are the air that I breathe, the blood in my veins, the light to my darkness. You are my life, Luna.” I squeezed her hand. “I would do anything for you.”
YOU ARE SO STUBBORN
just listen to her asshole
All that mattered was my wife.
My wife’s happiness, I was finding, meant far more to me than anything else.
