Feral (Darkly Ever After, #5)

“Fadat besham, Azizam.”

“Relax, Zeke. You didn’t say anything bad. It was super sweet, even if you didn’t intend to say the words. You told me you’d sacrifice your life for me.”

“It didn’t matter,” Lev whispers. “I have a sickness. I’m a virus that needs containment before I spread. The only person who’s ever made me feel safe is you. As long as I know you’re okay, I’m okay. I told you years ago, Az, I’m not a normal man. My sickness is in my DNA.”

“I loved you the moment I saw you. Scared and helpless, discarded and traumatized. The only emotion I knew was fear, and the only vision I saw was terror. Until you. You appeared, and it was like you hit me with a spell. I’m sorry it’s taken me this long to touch you and be touched by you. Thank you for never turning your back on me, even when I deserved it.”
