Dawning and Resurgence (The Collective, #2)

by K.C. Mills

“When a man loves a woman, she’s both his strength and weakness. She holds his fate in her hands. Because she makes him weak, she has the power to destroy him. If she truly loves him, she never will. That’s a beautiful thing and I want that.”

“I wasn’t who she chose to give her heart to and I want to be chosen. I fucking need that shit. If I do this again, she has to choose me.”

“You’re already my weakness. I pray you can also be my strength,” he said before his mouth captured mine again while the weight of his words washed over me.

Fear is just as necessary as loving someone. You fear because you care, because you love even if you don’t realize the emotions are there. When you fear life without those important to you, you fight to ensure you never have to experience what that looks or feels like. To that degree, fear and love are very similar, if not the same in relation to meaningful connections.”
