Kindle Notes & Highlights
My parents lost hope that the heir to their throne would have power when I reached the age of ten without a spark. I could still remember the fear and concern in their eyes when they told me that we must keep the secret between us,
I had been living on these streets for almost a year, ever since the raid,
Being a fae without magic was unheard of in this realm, and yet, here I stood with no proof that I would ever have any sort of power to control. Despite years of training under my father’s watchful eye, all my efforts had been for naught: never a spark, never a wave of energy to let me know I had even an ounce of potential.
Pretty far into this to just find out they are all fae
“I’m not a warrior.” “Trust me, that’s more than noted. But if you can’t wield magic, you will learn to wield a sword.”
Lol
The princess. She was his current obsession, and he believed that she would be the key to winning this entire revolution. A girl barely old enough to be considered an adult, and everything we were doing was dependent on finding her.
Lol 👀
She was his heir, but this was more. She was more.
My muscles screamed as I stretched out onto the mattress, and even though the bed was a nice change from the hard stone ground I had become accustomed to sleeping on lately, part of me missed the slums I had called home.
Laying down on a bed after living on the streets for a year, being jailed in a dungeon for days and then falling into water after a trek through the woods and not bathing?!?!? Excuse me what?!?
Wren burst out laughing and moved to my side before sliding her arm around mine. “I think you and I are going to get along just fine, Nyra. At least I’ll have someone on my side who doesn’t worship the ground Dacre walks on.” “Trust me, that will never happen.” She tightened her hold on me as she turned us down a long hallway. “I’ll hold you to that.”
😂
Dacre grunted.
He does that a lot
“I believe you. It’s just we’ve never heard of a fae who didn’t carry at least some magic. It seems impossible.”
I was nineteen years old. If I were to have magic, it should have more than manifested by now.
“You could use your words, you know?” I quipped when he almost knocked me off balance completely. “I could, but I’ve found that you’re not a very good listener.”
Lol
“It’s your death wish, Eiran,” Kai warned, and I quickly followed behind Eiran before Kai could stop me.
My scars. “Who did that to you?” His voice lacked every bit of his control. I quickly grabbed the T-shirt he had thrown me and pulled it over my head. “It’s nothing.” “It’s not nothing.” He was staring at the shirt as if he could still see the scars beneath. “Who the fuck did that to you?” He enunciated every word, and fear coated every bit of me. I had never seen him this angry before.
“Don’t you dare.” His fingers started pumping in and out of me gently, and my thighs tightened around his hand. “I’m not letting you go anywhere until I can taste your cum on my fingers.” I sucked in a sharp breath because I had never been spoken to like this before. I was the princess, and everyone treated me as if I were going to break at any moment. But Dacre didn’t. And his words did nothing but make more wetness coat his fingers as he continued to work me.
“I have been starved, Nyra. Until you.”
my attention was drawn back to Nyra. I had already put her in danger today by bringing her with me, but I refused to leave her anywhere near my father when I wasn’t there.
“You do realize that you’re not privileged to every bit of information about me, right?” I choked on a laugh at her words. “Considering I know nothing about you, I think that point is crystal clear.”
lol
“But tonight, I might take it out on you.” My heart hammered against my rib cage, echoing in my ears as I locked eyes with him, and the surge of power that had been fueling me earlier now felt like a raging storm inside me. An ache started low in my belly, and I struggled to keep my breathing steady. “And what if that’s what I want?”
“You didn’t answer my question.” Dacre growled, unmoving. “Who hurt you?” “It was a long time ago.” His gaze slammed into mine, and I was shocked by the amount of venom I saw there. “Who?” “My father.”
I had just given my virginity to him, all the while he was fucking me for revenge.
