The Dagger and the Forbidden Heir (The Forbidden Heir Trilogy, #1)

by Emilia Jae

I smiled up at him. “What would I do without you?” He patted my shoulder lightly. “You’ll never have to know, Lia.”

Well this seems like unpleasant foreshadowing

When it began, it was around once a week. Recently it’s been almost nightly.

Oh she's def killing you dude

The bitch was mine.

Excuse you, sir.

“Yes, my leg is just sore.

I SEE WHATS HAPPEING HERE

He giggled. A grown man giggled like a small girl at my shitty joke to just piss her off. I definitely liked him.

“I couldn’t let you die. Even that first night on the ship. I thought about letting you drown, but I couldn’t do it. The thought of you even being injured…I can’t explain it. It feels as if flames ignite within my very veins and light my entire existence on fire. It's not an option I was willing to accept. Nor will I ever.”

“From this moment moving forward, you are no longer my enemy or my prisoner. Members of each side have committed acts of extreme cruelty and horror. That no longer speaks for the entirety of either race. We are going to figure everything out. Together.”

“Beware of the day the pillar falls, for an heir will rise of blood and malice…”

“And when the moment comes that the enemy weeps, a stranger of kin shall forge the way for the one who was promised.”

This couldn’t be possible. The only way you could feel another’s pain…their true pain, physical and emotional, was if you’re their…mate.
