Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I will save you all from death tonight if you can complete one simple task. I want someone to step forth and heal your faithful leader, Professor Barton.” Erikel’s voice echoes around us. I know what’s coming. Fuck. The glint in his eyes. He knows. He fucking knows. He just doesn’t know who, exactly, can aid him.
I’m not a savior. I’m not a hero, and I have no intention of being one. I’m selfish. I’m greedy. But most of all, I’m in love. With Creed. With Eldon. With Zane. With Brax.
Erikel laughs, head tilted back as the sound echoes around the space. “You don’t get to make demands here. You do as I say, and if I find out you’re lying, I’ll kill you for wasting my time.”
“Rest up, little soul dancer. I’m going to be taking everything from you.”
“This is all your fault!” Genie appears in front of me, pointing her finger in my face as her own scrunches with ugly tear tracks down her cheeks. Her confidence wanes as her bottom lip wobbles, but I don’t get a chance to push back at her outburst before she’s turned into ice before my very eyes. I blink at her a few times, making sure I’m actually seeing what I think I’m seeing, but it’s not until a flash of blonde appears beside the ice sculpture that I realize it’s Leila. “I’m sorry, I just… fuck her.”
“I would love to hear those words slip from your lips, Raven, but your actions always speak louder. That’s all I need. Now sleep, I’ve got you. I’ve always got you.”
“We protect you at all costs, Raven. All. Costs.” My heart races as my gaze locks on Zane’s. Rhys's words sound just as solid as his son’s did last night. It’s clear where he gets his intensity from.
Safer away from the necromancer? From Raven? Never. That’s exactly where my loyalties lie. Fuck Basilica. Fuck Elevin. Fuck Silvercrest. My loyalty, my everything, it all rests with her and my brothers.
“I need him to know that you’re mine, that when I threatened his life, I meant it. I need him to know that I will protect you, no matter what, that you will find safety in me, in us, like you never found in them.”
