Skyshade (Lightlark, #3)

by Alex Aster

“Just because we’re married, don’t think I won’t gut you.” Only when she reached the door did she hear him say, “I would expect nothing less, wife.”

I am sure of this. My love for you doesn’t know reason. It doesn’t know limit. It doesn’t know death. In every universe, every timeline, I am yours . . . and you are mine.”

“Don’t change it for me. But you are my only choice. Forever.”

“I want you. I still want you, even though you’re a traitor. I still want you, even though you’re my enemy. I still want you, even though you might kill me. I want you, I want you, I want you, and it is the most selfish thing I have ever felt.”

She thought I was doing it to be cruel, but I was planting it here. On this island. So that it would be made up of all her favorite things.

We made a choice, and we have never once regretted it.

My home is wherever you are.”
