Kindle Notes & Highlights
“She is my future wife now, Aurelius, and I can and will do anything to her I like,”
Something inside me felt filled, no longer hollow. It felt like an amber moon glowed through my skin.
I felt unhinged with fury at the realization that I was falling in love with her.
I knew in that very moment I was so deeply in love with her, and she would be the one thing capable of my demise. The weak point in my unbreakable armor. I stared at her, and it scared me to death. It scared me to death what I wouldn’t do for her.
She had ruined me, and I would make sure I ruined her.
I would make him regret ever bonding to me, if I had to return from hell to burn him myself.
Get up. You’re a terrible assassin. I thought you had pull with animals?
Get out of my fucking head! And I’m not a fucking assassin! Does a well-trained assassin roll up in a ball and wish for death surrounded by snakes, you idiot?
I never said you were well trained.
Get out of my head, Mendax! I hope if I do die, you feel every single thing through the bond. Every tiny ounce of pain from me being killed and gone forever.
You have no idea the level of pain I will feel when you are gone forever.
But something had cracked in him. I could see it in the way he stared at me. As if I alone gave the oxygen that allowed him life.
His black wings of smoke spread so wide it felt as if the room struggled to contain them.
“You are safe now, lamb. I’ve got you,”
“I can lose everything, but not you. I can’t lose you,”
he whispered so quietly I knew I wasn’t meant to hear.
“Promise me,”
“Anything,”
“Promise me that you will never impel me, that you’ll never take my free will away,”
“Done.”
“One more thing, ...

“My true name is Malum Mendax, Crown Prince of the Unseelie Court,”
“Speak my name from those soft lips, and I’ll give you anything—everything—you could ever want,”
“Let me leave, Malum Mendax. Forget the last trial, and let me go home. Now,”
“You will never leave me, Callie. This is your home now.”
“That was before you were my bonded. Before I realized I can’t live without you,”
“We may have both been trying to destroy each other, lamb, but rest assured, only you have succeeded,”
“I have tried and tried to rid myself of you. I have never felt the things that you evoke in me.”
“You will finish the last trial. I will find out what it is from my mother and make absolute certain that you are kept safe.”
“And then we will be married. Then my burdensome suffering will finally end,”
“And I still want you dead just to rid myself of these nagging feelings! You are mine, and I will kill the entire world if it means keeping you,”
“I-I have tried so hard to eradicate you from where you now live inside me.”
“I would destroy anyone for you . . . anyone including myself,”
“Every fiber of you has desecrated me wholly.”
“The buttery texture of your skin has burned me with every touch. It’s all I think about. I-I am consumed by ...

“How does it feel?”
“To know that I love you and that you have doomed me? That you and only you have the power to disarm and debilitate me. That you, a human, have dismantled every part of me and rebuilt it as a shrine in your honor.”
“The way your mouth quivers slightly when you hold back your fiery words,”
“The spark that you hide has swallowed me whole.”
“I am the bad guy, Callie.”
“Which is why you will never, ever be free from me again.”
“I am selfish, and I like hurting people.”
“It doesn’t matter if you belong here or not. I won’t spare even half a thought before I murder every person in this world if they get in my way. I would search the crevices of hell and every nook in between for you. The Fae will beg you to stay, knowing that is what keeps their loved ones alive another day.”
“And you aren’t as good and full of sunshine as you would like people to believe, my little assassin. I see straight through you. It has my dick hard waiting t...

“You were sent here to destroy me, and you have succeeded, even if it wasn’t in the way you intended.”
“Tell me again, hellhound, how that fire got started.”
“Let me go,”
“Never,”
“You look exquisite when you come undone, my love,”
