Kindle Notes & Highlights
After all, I gave up my life for this world, for this land and its magic. I gave up my very breath to save the Tree of Life.
“He will kill me.” “He won’t come within breathing distance of you,” Knox swears.
“Because you’re Delilah Covington, one of the strongest people I know. You saved the people of Aloriah and the entire Fae race, along with the creatures who dwell in these lands and magic itself.”
“Bond or not, Delilah, I would choose to go anywhere with you. I couldn’t imagine a day that goes by where I don’t see your eyes.” Knox rests his forehand against mine, his warm breath brushing across my lips. “Wherever you go, whatever you must face, know that I’ll be right beside you. You don’t have to tackle life alone anymore, Delilah. I will always be there for you, and we will face whatever life decides to throw at us together, as one.”
I will him to see him through my eyes. To see the strong warrior who is forever putting his people before himself. The king who loves his people with a violent passion. The man that I am proud to call my mate and friend.
“We’re going to do something far greater.” I look to Knox’s court, my friends…my newfound family. And ask them what I never could ask of Easton. “We’re going to overthrow the king and make him live out his days in misery.”
My heart trips over itself before melting into a puddle on the floor as every one of Knox’s court—my friends—steps forward. Dipping their heads as they offer their company and services.
THIS is her family
“If you ever speak of my mate with such disrespect again, I will have no qualms about you losing your tongue.”
“You’d have to be a fool to watch that premonition and not be. But I’ll find a way to come back to you. I always will.”
“I’ll make a deal with you,” he says softly. “If we’re unable to stop it, stop them, I’ll come with you. I’ll float with you through the depthless pit of the universe. For eternity, for however long it consumes us. We’ll go together, as one.”
“I will go to the end of the world for you, Angel. Don’t rob me of what I want. I’m not requesting, I’m vowing to follow you to the end of the universe.”

I find comfort and safety in books, the way in which my mind can escape reality and enter a world of my choosing.
I inhale the rich spring smells, cherishing my Fae hearing for picking up on the ocean waves crashing against the seaside cliffs below and as I flutter open my eyes, I catalog every minuscule detail of the place I have come to love—the home I wished upon stars for.
We deserve a long life together, Angel.” As one, he whispers down the bond.
“You must be strong as you face this, but on the days where you cannot find the courage, I’ll be strong for the both of us.”
The man I share blood with…has marked his own as a traitor.
We may not be able to hear each other or feel the bond, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. That the care or fierce protection for one another disappeared. It’s all there, simmering within our hearts.
The commander's jaw ticks. “We don’t acknowledge Fae kings.” He spits the last two words as if they had personally cursed him. Waves of fury roll off Knox. “You will wish you had in a moment.”
“I’d like to see you try and find that you are an utter failure of a man.”
Yes Delilah!!
My pure light shatters the flimsy wards placed over these lands.
“Tell the king that his dearest daughter is back and ready to claim her payment… Retribution.”
“That was enjoyable. We should do it again. Seeing you blush like a mad man might be my favorite way to pass the time.”
Knox will always be there to put the pieces of my heart back together, no matter how many times it shatters.
“Your father keeps his head as a trophy. A warning to all in the palace and capital of what is done to traitors.”
NO WAY! Omg I hate him
“I will be whoever you need me to be, Angel.” He rests his forehead against mine. “Whatever will get you through this.”
Until he stops, pinning me against a large tree trunk, and the weight of him against my front has wetness trickling down my thighs.
Omg against a tree
The last thing I ever want to do is harm anyone—to harm the people I love. And yet I exploded, despite my best intentions. I had no control over my magic, my body, or my reaction and that’s simply unacceptable. Something to be feared.
“If I must listen to your voice snap ludicrous statements one more time, I don’t care who you work for. I will make you bleed,”
“This is Ordelia, commander of the king’s Sector Four army, and the leader of the rebellion.”
“Knox is already going insane not being able to touch you,” Axel teases, his eyes dipping to Knox’s hand caressing my leg.
“You are Delilah Covington, and you, my Angel, will forever hold the power and strength in your heart to decide—to choose—who you want to be,” Knox soothes.
“You are strong. Let your scars be a reminder of that, of all you have overcome. Let them remind you in your darkest of days that this is not the end. That you will make it out the other side, with a new scar that proves your journey and bravery.”
Knox the man you are ahhh
“Your imperfections are beautiful, Delilah. They show not only me, but all those who cross your path, that scars are powerful.”
I’ve never met anyone with such power.” My eyes widen as the most powerful Fae in all the courts whispers this to me. As if his magic pales in comparison.
“No, but perhaps offer some to Knox. He’s beginning to drool.”
Haha I am obsessed with Delilah
“I vow to let you into my heart fully, Angel, to everything that I am feeling and more.”
“I will be yours for as long as our souls exist,”
“You want to make me unravel?” he growls. “Bounce.”
Oh. My.
Knox misses the wood on the next swing of his axe. A laugh escapes me as curses stream out under his breath. You play dirty, Angel.
HAHA
“I understand what you mean. You don’t have to feel guilty for loving someone, Hazel. Luna would have wanted you to be happy.”
:(
“We’re one step closer to being sisters now.” “We are in every sense of the word.”
Hazel and Delilah <3
I never thought I would feel joyful over the mere sight of smoke. But as they say, where there’s smoke there is fire, and in this current world, that dark shadow of smoke always leads me back to my home—Knox.
As I drag my numb legs forward, my eyes widen in horror at one word written in the hills with blood. That one word makes me lean forward and puke. DELILAH. The king has retaliated. The king knows I’m not dead. The king holds the power once again.
Ugh I hate the king
Swords rise, boots march, and screams fill the red-soaked hills as the soldiers I’ve been traveling with for three weeks—the soldiers I’ve shared stories with around the campfires, the soldiers I helped feed—charge at me. Without an ounce of mercy on their faces.
No matter what they say, it will never change what transpired, nor the tainted memory I have of them.
When people show you who they are, believe them.
I vow to be beside you, not just on the days when the voice is loud, but for every day it wishes to sing.
I won’t let him so much as breathe in your direction,
That is what Knox and Aurora are to me—home.
You are just as bright, my golden light. I blink. I shine too? As if my very own angel.
