“Holy Lightning Bolt—what the fuck!”
HE SAID IT FOR THE FIRST TIMEEEEE
When Max says fuck, you know shit is serious.
“I’ll be your boyfriend, Snowflake. I’ll be your friend, or your lover, or your anything at all, as long as I’m that first—yours.”
“What do you want me to be then?” Because I could be his friend and his lover and his girlfriend and his anything at all, too. But Shade smiled, coming closer until we were but an inch away from one another. “Mine.”
“It’s January fourth,” Max told her, rolling his eyes, but we were finally moving toward the steep stairs down the mountain.
Ahhh my birthday
“I love the way you look when you’re begging for me, too,” he said, biting my jaw with a growl. “So completely, undeniably mine.”
“Turns out, his mind has been tampered with,” Shade said as he led me to the other side. “He was exposed to a powerful confusion spell earlier that day. Althea, the healer, thinks he either ingested it with food or a ritual was done on him.”
Damn so it’s not Ethan
Nothing in the world existed except me and him, with each other in our mouths, surrendering to the pleasure completely.
Lemme tell you… this author EATS with these spicy scenes🥵 hands down the best I’ve ever read
On the godstone that was pulsating with all the lights of the rainbow now, alive in my hand like I’d never seen an opal do before. It was breathing, or so it felt to me until… It broke.
Oh shit😨
I looked up at Arti’s face, at her eyes that were wide, too wide for her face, and too brown, too deep, too clear. At those lips—too long, and those teeth—too sharp… No, she was not like us, I realized. Not even close. She was a monster in disguise, too.
I knew there was something off about her
“And her hair was floating all around her head, too, like she was underwater, and—” Shade slammed me to his chest and kissed all the breath out of me.
Sus… she’s telling him about what she saw with Arti and he chooses to cut her off…🤔
This time, I was awake. This time, I was fully conscious when the light consumed the darkness of the Void, the same way the Void took away the world around us every time. It
When it did WHAT to the void???😨
crumbled, the darkness, like it had been liquid and then in the heat of that blue light, it dried up and broke and was reduced to ashes as it slowly revealed my room underneath it…
I couldn't care less about getting her to her brother—I cared about Shade.
ON EVERYTHING ain’t nobody give a f about her brother
“You know.” He knew what it was about me?
This sonovabitch😤
Then Shade said, “That you were always Elysean.”
Been said that since day one when they said she wasn’t supposed to experience what she was. I knew she wasn’t a mortal
“…she is one true force of nature, but she does not want to be alone, either. It is you who needs to show her that you can complete her, not tear her apart. You can make her stronger, not peel off her strength. Show her that you are worth the fear and the potential pain. And have patience, kind soul, for if she begins to believe in you, truly believe in you, you will be one lucky man.”
“I’ve never told you this before because I know you know it, but I love you, my beautiful Snowflake. I love your light and your dark. I love your glow and your tears. I’ll bring the whole world to their knees for you.”
I’d have screamed if I could. I’d have jumped off the bed if I could. I’d have done anything other than be paralyzed here, unblinking eyes on that face that I knew so well but didn’t, trying to make sense of my own thoughts. “Breathe, dear,” Eeda said, and I did.
OH MY GOSH EEDA WE’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU
“People are not going to get us to the portal, Sera. You are,” Arti said.
This selfish heartless bitch
“Let’s just calm down for a second,” Arti said. “You agreed to help us. That agreement binds you to take care of yourself. You can’t take us to my brother if you’re dead.” There it was—my brother. She always said that—always to my brother. Made me wonder if she’d even bother to do any of this if Apollo hadn’t been a prisoner down there.
“Do not trust fear. It is the second greatest liar of all, and when paired with the first—that awful, awful doubt—it is a terrible force to behold, indeed.”
“Don’t talk to me about fair, baby. I get to watch you from afar every day. I get to watch you wear my colors and my perfume, I get to watch your ass when you swing those hips the way you do, but I can never touch you. I get to watch you training, stretching and twisting, but I can’t bend you over the way you need,”
🥵🥵🥵
“The boys. Ethan and Nick,” I said, and I barely managed to put the cuffs on his shirt from how badly my hands were shaking. “Maybe I should have another talk with that boy,” Shade muttered under his breath.
The jealousyyyyy😂😂
The next second, Mave let go of his hands, grabbed his face and kissed him. She kissed him on the lips right there in front of everyone, and when she moved away
OH MY GOSH YESSSSSSSS FINALLY IT HAPPENED😆😆😆
again, she was smiling. She looked okay. Perfectly fine to take over the world, just like that.
Now it was showing footage of me. It was showing footage of me through what looked like a window, the white curtain pulled to the side enough to reveal my face perfectly well. And to reveal the face of Alan Roux,
NO TF THEY DID NOT😱😱 I’m in tears fr fr
But Shade had whistled, and now the table in front of me was moving. He whistled, and something came out from underneath it and jumped on the tabletop, ruining every glass and every plate and every flower in the process. People screamed. A fully grown, three-headed hellhound almost twice the size of Mors, wearing snowflake collars around her necks was standing on the table with her back turned to me. She snapped her jaws and growled at everyone around the table until they, including Max, had no other choice but to step away.
THE POT IS BOILINGGGGG LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
Shade winked at me. “No!” I called at the top of my lungs. He knew very well where this could lead. He’d get a death sentence if he attacked. He’d turn himself into an enemy of his own kind if he did this, but… Shade’s arms raised without hesitation before anyone had the chance to get to me. Darkness, raw and unforgiving, spread out from under his feet, taking over the room within seconds.
OH MY DAYS😱😨😨
