Kindle Notes & Highlights
Scythe comes over because he knows I’m going to spill something. I point to the ones I want, and with his careful fingers, he opens the paints for me.
Awwwww
“You’re not blowing up this beautiful piece of architecture!” Xander roars.
But fuck them all, because I was the one who saw her first. And I’m the one who fell in love with her first.
The way we find our destined pack mates is by looking for beasts who bear the same mating mark we do—a glowing symbol unique and secret to our pack that only members of the pack can see on each other.
How can a man’s voice be both honey and steel at the same time?
“All I wanted was you, and then when you found me, you”—he swallows again—“didn’t want me.”
Those clenched fists by his sides are giving him away, and I wonder if I should tell him I’m not buying any of his noble teacher act.
I prefer to let my music and smoke drown my emotions away. Today’s choice: Britney Spears.
“Regina, stop giving that pen a blow job,”
behaviour. I’ve become addicted to watching Aurelia through the security cameras. I watch her in class; I watch her in the dining hall, and I even find myself watching her walk through campus on the way to her dorms at the end of the day.
I bring the utter perfection of anatomy to my face and press my lips and nose softly against his skin. I inhale deeply, and it’s like the first breath I’ve ever taken. It’s the dawn sun and fresh leaves of paper, hot off the press.
Protect her. It is a command deep and primitive, coming from the dark depths of my being.
“I’m your regina, Lyle. I was made for your cock.”
“You’d think I would have been in a rage,” Savage continues. “But it wasn’t the first thing I felt. The first thing I felt was”—he gulps—“fear. That she’d been hurt, or wounded, or scared.”
I refuse to let her be bred by anyone but me or one of her mates. Only we have that fucking right. In this life, in any lifetime.
“Five black devils are approaching Five black hearts are wanting It is five who cry a dark and lonely song, calling for their queen. Lion, shark, dragon, wolf and… shadow.”
my four mates fussing over me like they loved me, none of them wanting to leave the room. Except, one of them is a dangerous mob boss, one is the deputy headmaster of this academy, one is a bad-tempered dragon, and one is an unhinged wolf.
“I did not exist before you.”
“Oh God,” I whisper. Then Savage’s voice is whispering in my ear. He’s positioned himself behind me, straddling Lyle’s thighs. “Oh, my beautiful, perfect regina. We are your gods now.”
Agony. That is the only word I can use to describe what it feels like to leave Aurelia.
“This is why she’s always drained,” is all I say. “Why she is always unwell.” “Fucking admit it, you cold bastard,” Lyle says. “She’s been protecting us from the Serpent Court the entire time. Protecting you.”
“If you wish to kill me for what I have done, it would be your right. I would die gladly, having known your gentle touch. I would spend my last heartbeats worshipping you.”
Maybe that’s why men seek to invade the insides of a woman with such desperation—in search of that magical thing that will put our broken parts back together in the same way all humans are put together inside a woman in the first place.
