Woven by Gold (Beasts of the Briar #2)

‘She would never wonder for a moment that I would seize the stars from the sky for her if she asked.’

‘When did you know, Kel? When did you know I was your mate?’ He stills a hand on a thorn. ‘The moment you stepped into Castletree.’

‘But if anyone else touches you, including that asshole ex-fiancé upstairs, I’ll take great pleasure in ending their life. Then I’ll fuck you in their blood to remind you who you belong to.’

I forgive you, I think. Not to Lucas. But to myself, the younger me. The one who didn’t know how to leave. Who didn’t know how beautiful the world truly was and didn’t think she deserved what beauty she could find. I forgive you, and I can let you go.

‘C-coming!’ I call. Ezryn cups my chin. ‘Next time,’ he growls, ‘you will be.’

‘If you’re the tide and I’m the moon, pull me deep into your waves. I want to drown in you.’
