Anchor of Secrets (Supernaturals of Castle Academy, #2)

“Every night since you’ve been back, you scream in your sleep. I’ll hear those screams until the day I die. And I’ll never forgive myself.” Colt’s gaze met mine. “But don’t you think for a damn minute that I didn’t love you. I will until the last breath leaves my lungs.”

“I need you to hear me, Little Bird. The greatest act of love I’ll ever give you is staying the hell away.”

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.”

“Don’t get dead, okay?” Trace’s fingers dug into my ass. “Your life might be simpler if I did.” I grabbed his hair and pulled his head back, hard. “Don’t you ever say anything like that ever again. You’re a pain in the ass, but you’re my pain in the ass.”

“You stay, and I’ll take it out on this tight little body. I’ll break you. Destroy you.” My eyes flared, but I didn’t look away. “Do it.”

“A firecracker and a klepto. What a combination.” I laughed and leaned into Ronan, pressing my lips to his. “Your klepto.” Gold flashed in Ronan’s eyes. “My everything.”

Ronan reached up to cup my cheek. “Haven’t you realized yet? You are our home. Our family. You’re our everything.”
