Kindle Notes & Highlights
In my silent moments of reflection, one moment, I'm being thrown onto the steps of the compound, growing faster than any other child in my age range, and the next, all those children are gaining back problems and marriages while my age remains stagnant.
Weird
"Always, Lily Flower, who else would I carry around like a princess?" I tease.
Don't tell me this is going to be a book that makes me like xavier...
Killing other Marked is not something I take pride in.
Vampire!
The Prophet visits me often, silently watching me sleep and eat,
"Deception and the Hold are the traits I have been blessed with.
Carefully kissing each wound
Eww
A minuscule bit of blood from the wound paints his lips,
Gag
"There's evil within us all, Mr. Markswood. We've all shed blood to stand where we are now. Remember that.
Evil alert
Their blood coats my lips, my hair a disorderly gray mess.
Opp
My own scream drowns out Max's voice, making it impossible to stop what I have started. Repeatedly colliding my first with his face, his ability to move dies down. Crunch after crunch, bones break, swelling his face into an unrecognizable mess. Listening to the weak beat of his heart, its thud is consuming.
Wild
"I-I love you," I stutter, still so foreign to the word. My throat burns, causing me to swallow multiple times.
Xavier?
"They got him, Forest. He's here."
Like she murdered the last guy she thought was him...why tell her mans is in the building
Forest was never there to begin with. The reality is, I don't know if I am talking about just the photo or Forest's childhood entirely. What the hell is going on with my mind?
Oh shoot
Startled, I try and look for some clarification in his black and white photo. It's the same Xavier from New Haven looking back at me, one with considerably less pain beneath his eyes. Looking over the photo repeatedly, I can't help but wonder why it feels like this is not my first time seeing it.
Eww is she old like him
I need to know how far Forest's strength extends. I'd rather not trust the whispers of what your strength truly is and send you all with one less man who could have safeguarded all who travel. Your anger needs to be prominent for us to see what you can do… which is why Xavier will observe your training and shadow the mission.”
Bad idea
"Dove." My heart stops. "Her name was Dove."
Oppp
Smiling at the statement, I look back at my husband's father, looking eerily like an older twin.
What!? Ew dont think of him that way
"I know he was," Mark says, touching his throat in a way I only saw Xavier do.
Sus
"Forest Blackburn," I whisper, tracing my finger over the paper's ink. "Died during-" I pause, feeling my heart drop in my chest. "Go on," the creature whispers, its breath brushing the side of my neck. "Childbirth,"
Oh shoot!!!
The Prophet's rat. My shadow.
Forest was the reason her bf's dad was killed and is way older than him is wild
"I'm sorry, friends," Xavier whispers under his breath, expressing genuine sorrow.
their fingers fashioned in a way to mimic a gun as they follow our vehicle.
Finger guns
Grabbing my head, he slams it into the side of the vehicle, unable to control his short temper.
Would'nt that hurt Forest too?
"I made death bow on his knees and gave the angels a reason to fall.
"Andrew started getting control over his mind about fifteen months ago, around the time he brought home Forest-"
Woah she was so new!! No even all of high school and she had a guy in the friend-zone and an arch nemesis...
"That Xavier and Fallan are not new acquaintances," the Shifter says, forcing us all to exchange a look. "That's not possible-" "Xavier wanted Forest, correct?" the Shifter questions, receiving a slow nod from the both of us. "What better person to bring her to him than the man whose family was just massacred by her supposed father?"
Oh what? Things are getting complicated
Or have you forgotten if my lips touch hers, it's lights out for me,
What?!
"Promise me you won't leave me, Kai?"
He is so dead
Do you remember how we danced? Without a second thought, he raised me onto his feet, wrapping me up in all the ways Fallan had that night of the bonfire.
Was Fallan never her blood mate, gosh i hate this!! I am starting to not like Fallan and I am so sad about it
"I can't ever lose you," I whisper, hearing his gentle laugh.
She never said i love you back...is Fallon not end game
You and I both know why you really wish to see my downfall. Why you agreed to do the job I gave you,"
Opp
"Should I really lay out why you agreed to deliver Forest to me in the first place? You might have convinced her that you truly love her, that you always have, but we both know, had you gotten your way that night on the deck, you would have murdered her with no hesitation had you not seen Mason ready to pounce on you,"
Oh my gosh!! Fallan no!
The bloodshed used to scorn me, eating away at my every waking thought. Now, it's like paint, coating me in the glory of triumph.
"I severed your false bond with Forest," the Prophet warns, nudging Hunter with their foot. "Or have you forgotten you never truly had a real connection with her to begin with?"
What!?
"You were supposed to kill her. The agreement we made behind Xavier's back was solid,"
Fallan...bro
"You killed her father," the Prophet snaps, throwing me back to that day in Xavier's study. "I figured she would be much easier to be rid of given what she did," the Prophet laughs. "You had no issue slipping into her mind, convincing Forest her father was Xavier
Fallan!
Fallan Markswood, his best friend's son, and the man he saw getting cozy with another woman around the same time you swore your heart belonged to Forest,"
Fallan!?
Xavier, Forest, Dove's death. It all comes crashing down.
Eww he called Forest after his dead ex
"I don't think Elyon is who he says he is,"
Knew it
The Prophet. Elyon Morgan.
Looking her over, he loses his cocky demeanor. Pulling on the most serious expression I have seen the man wear, he focuses on her shaking figure. "For as long as I draw breath," he mutters.
Now officialy team Xavier...sorry not dorry Fallan
leaving her head on my front door and her body in her lover's bed,"
Eww
Katiana's lab junky parents wanting to bring me down create you,"
So mom is sister? Whst in the jerry springer?
"In a way, I suppose that makes you my daughter,"
What?
Rocking her cold, dead body,
She just died tho..
Elyon holds Fallan's once-beating heart, his hand clenching the organ as if it were a toy.
Oh my gosh
I tug the necklace free from my neck, embarrassed by how long I had managed to hold onto the last part of women no longer with us. Two men yearning for the ghosts who used to wear the ring. Too much had we shared in this life, in death the ring belongs to him.

her feet. Pausing my actions, I am still, my heart stopping the moment Hunter's head hits the concrete. Watching the pair slump to the ground, tears line their cheeks, their hearts slowly beating before stopping altogether.
This cant be real!!!
All she can do is smile.
Creepy...
