To the ones who don’t run with the popular crowd, the ones who get caught reading under their desks, the ones who feel like they never get invited, included, or represented. Get your leathers. We have dragons to ride.
“I am as unknown as he is, and you still trust me,” she says. “I will not be another battle you have to fight.”
“Thank you. And you have every right to know about where you come from, but I have no doubts about who you are.” I
Xaden is mine. My heart, my soul, my everything.
I will not die today. I will save him.
I’m not running from him. Even in the moments he’s lost control, he’s never hurt me. He never will.”
“Pain isn’t a competition,” I assure him. “There’s always enough to go around.”
“I could reach the rank of Maven, lead armies of dark wielders against everyone we care for, and watch every vein in my body turn red as I channel all the power in the Continent, and I would still love you. What I did doesn’t change that. I’m not sure anything can.”
“I have every faith in your ability to protect yourself, but say the word and I’ll rip the doors off their hinges.”
Dude! Como amo a este hombre
“Are you going to go all broody and try to pull away from me? Because fair warning, I’m not going to let that happen.”
“There is every chance we will all meet Malek in the coming months, but you must decide if you’d rather die fighting each other or facing our shared enemy.”
The last time a shadow and lightning wielder fought side by side, they managed to drive the venin back into the Barrens for a few hundred years. We’ll figure out how to do it again.”
Ya va … Que?
You’ll be the first to sense when I lose the rest of what makes me…me.”
I have enough faith in him for the both of us.
I love you like a brother, and I get that you lost your leg, and we respect however you’re feeling about that, but you’re still one of us. You’re still a rider, with all the benefits and shit that come with wearing black. So with all the love in my heart, put your fucking uniform on, because we need you.”
You might be angry when you realize I didn’t wake you to say goodbye. But it’s only because I no longer fully trust my ability to walk away.
It was hotter than rage, and sharper than fear, and cut deeper than helplessness, all because I couldn’t get to you.”
“You want me the same way that I want you. Wholly. Completely. With nothing but skin between us. Heart, mind, and body.”
You are the only person in the world with the power to strip me of every ounce of my control, and the only person I can’t fathom losing that control with.”
“You don’t owe me your friends’ secrets.”
Hemos madurado por aqui!
“Both,” Xaden replies. “I don’t want to be different people to you. Anyone else? Fine. Just not you. You’re stuck with all of me, and all of me is quite capable of keeping your confidence. I’ll use Tyrrendor to protect you, not you to protect Tyrrendor.”
Amigo no puedes ser tan perfecto BASTA!!
“I am yours and you are mine, and there’s no law or rule in this world or the next that will change that.”
“Yes, love, I’m jealous.” He splays his hand over the small of my back and tugs me toward him. “I’m jealous of the armor that holds you when I can’t, the sheets on your bed that caress your skin every night, and the blades that feel your hands. So, when the prince of our realm walks into my classroom and starts talking to the woman I love with what can only be considered intense familiarity, and then has the audacity to ask her out right in front of me, naturally, I’m going to get jealous.”
My body isn’t big enough to contain how much I love this man.
Si soy!
grow more powerful every day, more capable of recognizing what once was entirely invisible to you.”
I’ve never been one to confuse a title with power.”
you don’t have to say what you’re thinking for me to know,” he whispers, his hands slipping from my waist to my hips. “I can read it in every line of your body. Your eyes are a dead giveaway, too.”
He didn’t love me, not in the way I deserve to be loved, and no amount of power is worth staying with someone who doesn’t love you.”
“I’m never running. It’s you and me, no matter what.”
I’d rather be powerless than potentially hurt you.”
“In a life without magic, the best medicine is time,”
“I will hold everything you don’t want to feel because I love every part of you.”
“Lifetime. Anything less is unacceptable.” Xaden slides his hand to the back of my neck. “And her full name for the papers is Violet Sorrengail. Two Rs.”
TE AMOOOOLLL
I’m torn between throwing a dagger at his chest and kissing the shit out of him.
“You may question our knowledge, test our honor or dedication as riders and fliers. Serve up riddles, fake scenarios, chess games for all I care. But if you think I’m going to leave the only woman I’ve ever loved to contract marriage with a woman I do not get along with, then the lack of wisdom is yours, not mine.”
“Violet is the only choice I’ve made for myself. I won’t sacrifice her for three years. Not for a single day. You would know that if you hadn’t abandoned me, if you knew me at all.”
“I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I hurt you.”
“The best leaders are the ones who never want the job.
You’re the only thing I can’t fathom losing.
“I mean it when I say you own my soul. You’re the only place I feel completely like me anymore. You’re not a trigger,”
you’re kinder than you want people to know. Maybe kinder than you know.
We’re already balanced because we’re both strong for ourselves and each other. He needs me to be me, and I’m telling you I promised to help keep Tyrrendor safe, but not at his expense.”
I’m entirely incapable of running from you.”
“Even when I’m not entirely…me, whatever I am still craves you, needs you, only wants you.”
“If I loved you in the way you deserve to be loved, I’d ignore that you’re the only form of peace I’ve ever known and put a thousand miles between us because stable still isn’t whole.”
“I choose you. I choose whatever risk this brings. I see every part of you, Xaden: The good. The bad. The unforgivable. That’s what you promised, and that’s what I want—all of you. I can handle myself, even against you if I have to.”
“I love you more than this city. Do not die defending it.”
“I love you. Stay out of the clouds, off the ice, and come back to me whole.”
I exist for Tairn, but I live for Xaden.
“The Assembly wanted me in that chair, and now you’ll deal with my decisions while in it.”
