Kindle Notes & Highlights
“What is your future but a secret, Thea?” A cryptic smile danced on her face. “When you’re ready to learn the truth, find me.”
“What do you want? Why did you come back?”
He angled his head to my ear. It was the only thing I had to give him and the last thing I should ever trust him with. “You,” he murmured. “I came back for my mate.”
“Let’s be clear.” She jammed a finger into my chest. “You aren’t my husband.” I nodded, then added, “Yet.”
“My blood. My body. It belongs to my mate. It belongs to you. Now claim it.”
“Maybe not.” She shrugged her leather tote higher onto her shoulder. “But there’s magic
in you, and if there’s magic in you, it has to come out.” “I thought magic was gone.” “Yes. No. It’s not what it once was. True magic is rare, but it sleeps in the veins.”
“Human?” She giggled at me. “You’re not human, honey.” “But…I’m…not…a…witch.” I forced each word out. “You said…” “I said maybe not,” she corrected me. “You obviously have no magical ties, or you would know. Your mother would have told you. But I think you are right. I don’t think you’re a witch. It doesn’t feel right.”
“It’s possible you aren’t something new. Maybe you are something forgotten.”
“And I am yours. I will protect you. I will serve you,” he promised. “You—my mate—above all others. It is my privilege to be your mate. It is my honor to love you.”
“All I am, I give to you. I swear to be your protector, your lover, your best friend as long as we walk this earth. For over nine hundred years, I sought some meaning in this world, and now I’ve finally found it. You. You are the meaning. You are the reason. And you are the answer. I am honored to be your mate, I am honored to tether my soul to yours, and I am honored to become your husband.”
