To be at the head of the Crescent bond and everything that comes with it…” “W-what?” My mind whirled as an image of the guys’ marks flashed in my mind. The crescent moon. He bared his teeth. “They think they can steal everything from me, but now I’ve got what I need to get it back. I’ve got you.”

Do you know how it looks when all their fucking marks appeared and mine didn’t?”

I heard Trace has gone feral. He’ll burn us alive,”

“The more time you spend with her, the harder it’s going to be for your demon to walk away.” “Don’t care,” he snapped. “All right, then,” Colt mumbled.

Declan’s eyes went silver. “Leighton. I’ve been searching for you every day of my life.”

but I missed you with every breath. You haunted my dreams every damn night.”

“But I didn’t. Because I felt like I was dying, being away from you. It never mattered to me if you had no magic or enough to set the world on fire. I just wanted you. My LeeLee. My best friend. My soulmate.”

“But don’t you think for a damn minute that I didn’t love you. I will until the last breath leaves my lungs.”

Chloe’s gaze snapped to him. “Are you seriously willing to go insane just to keep her around?” A grin spread across Trace’s face, but it had a manic quality to it. “I’m already insane. But that doesn’t change the fact that she’s mine.”

😂😂😂

Saoirse’s mouth curved. “Sometimes, pain is worth it.” Her gaze settled on me. “There is magic in her.”

I knew itttttt

He turned to face us. “I’m ashamed that Leighton would have any reason to doubt my loyalty to you. It was a wake-up call. I want you to know you have my complete fealty.” Darius sank down on one knee, placing his fist over his heart. “I will serve you for all my days.” Colt pushed to his feet, crossing to Darius and placing a hand on his shoulder. “It’s my honor.”

Darius you now have my heart 💕

Saoirse grinned. “A strapping, handsome escort? Twist my arm…”

😂

The world around me shattered into a million pieces, and I knew when we put it together again, it would look completely different.
