and I force everything I can’t handle into a neat, mentally fireproof box and stash it somewhere deep inside me.
That's so real queen
Your wings won’t hold the weight of this ice,’” Andarna blatantly mocks him. “And yet yours miraculously carry the burden of your ego.”
I love her
Not to mention, Xaden insists we stay. “He remains because Navarre’s wards protect you from him.”
The rarest of signets—those that rise once in a generation or century—have manifested concurrently with an equal twice in our records, both critical times in our history, but only once have the six most powerful walked the Continent simultaneously. As fascinating as that spectacle must have been, I would rather not live to see it happen again.
“How did you get here?” “It’s not important.” He draws a sword with his left hand.
Garrick signet??
Second signet. My gaze darts toward Garrick, but a glance is all I can afford with the dark wielder sauntering toward us.
Do the marked all have a second signet??
“I’m either completely in love with your boyfriend or utterly terrified of him,” Ridoc says under his breath. “Not sure at the moment.”
I love him
“Good idea. So maybe it’s Bren—” Ridoc counts out on his fingers. “Never mind, that has too many letters.
Tell me why I did exactly this before he did
“Oh gods, just stop flirting and fuck already,” Ridoc says. Every head slowly turns in his direction. “I said that out loud, didn’t I?” he asks me in a hushed whisper. “Oh yeah, you did,” I reply, patting him on his back. “Garrick’s going to blow you off the mat.” “Now that I might enjoy, depending on the method he chooses—” Ridoc winces. “I’m going to stop talking now.” “You might want to keep the inside voices inside while we’re up there,”
“I can keep you safe,” he insists, turning to me, an unpeeled orange in his hands.
I love Riddoc
and I know I can’t be the only one who thought, if Liam had been here, keeping watch over you, it never would have happened.” He swings that finger toward Rhiannon and Sawyer. “You both know it crossed your minds.”
Noooo crying in the cafe
“No snide remarks,” I say to Ridoc with a quick smile. “I’m proud of you.” “I kept the inside thoughts inside,” he replies with a flash of a grin as Xaden approaches.
There’s no way I’ll make it up two more flights of stairs when this one is already killing me. My knee protests every step, and I curse the humidity and keep climbing even though it feels like the ground rocks beneath my boots.
This is so relatable
The dizziness has always been worse in the heat, and it’s definitely not doing me any favors today.
Bitch that's such a mood
Unh. Yeah, I flat-out liquefy.
I actually hate this thanks
“Everyone assumes she’ll wind up with you, but it’s my last name she ends up wearing on her flight jacket in formation.”
Screamingg
“Oh, wait until you realize that your dad knows my dad’s book has something to do with feathertails, which means Dad knew to stop trusting him at some point,” I add.
Jaw literally dropped
“I’m not the person to ask about motherly relationships,” I reply.
Queen that's so real
My gaze snaps to his and my smile falls at the intensity in his stare. “What do you want me to promise?” “That you’ll never do that again.” I blink. “You’re going to have to be more specific.” “You put yourself between Ridoc and me—” “It seemed like you might hit my friend.” I lift my brows. “And you weren’t exactly yourself.” “That’s my point.” Fear flashes across his face before he quickly masks it. “There’s no telling what I could have done to you. It’s all I’ve been able to think about.”
Nah this is giving abusive vibes. Ick.
don’t care if she hands you a steaming pile of goat shit,” Mira lectures down the line. “No one complains. Got it? Smile and thank her. This is our last real chance to secure an army.” “What if it’s cow shit?” Ridoc asks. “That’s considerably heavier.” “No complaining,” Drake snaps from the left. “Fuck, it’s like traveling with my parents,” Ridoc mutters.
I just love him
“You preach peace while only having known its privilege,”
“I can’t do that.” It’s not self-doubt talking. It’s just fact. “You will,” Tairn decrees. “It just won’t look like that.”
“I’m never all right to do this,” I reply. “I just do it anyway.” “Sounds about right.” She nods, then her eyes narrow at something across the field.
Sliseag rises to his full height as Sawyer settles in, and I back away for a better view. “Looks like you’ve been up there a time or two,” I call to him as he relaxes in the seat. “Feels like I never left,” he shouts down with a grin. “I can ride.” “You can ride,” I agree, my smile instant and wide. “Now, does it matter how you got there, or only that he chose you?” “You know the answer to that already.” His smile softens.
Im crying on the bus
“Thank Amari,” Rhi whispers as she comes up on my left side, grinning up at Sawyer. “Sawyer! Look at you!” Ridoc runs forward, his arms up in victory. Sliseag swings his head and snaps his teeth shut a few feet in front of Ridoc. “Look at you from a distance!” Ridoc retreats, his arms still held high. When he bumps into Maren, he turns and sweeps her into a hug as she laughs.
Again, I love Ridoc
Weird. There’s no mark at the back of his neck like he carries on his palm. There hadn’t been one on Dain’s wrist, either.
SUSPICIOUS
“I need you to tell Jax that I love her.” “No.” I wipe away the tear that slides from my eye before it can reach her hair. “You tell her. You’re going to graduate in a couple of months, and then you’ll marry her in that pretty black dress you picked out, and you’re going to be happy.”
WHAT THE FUCK
