Heavenly Bodies: Book One of the Heavenly Bodies series

by Imani Erriu

‘Was Torra’s charm,’ she replied. ‘I know, you don’t need to explain.’

But i dont think so

He nodded tightly. ‘Exactly,’

‘If you ever so much as utter Elara’s name again, I swear to the twelve fucking Stars that I will rip your tongue from your throat and feed it to you.’

Ahhhhh LFG!!!!!

‘You know the most dangerous kind of villain?’ she whispered. ‘A woman with nothing left to lose.’

‘I couldn’t give a fuck if Ariete was Death embodied. Not only did he take Elara from me. He hurt her. Violated her. Bit her.’

‘Thank you,’ she murmured to him, the medicine lulling her under.

‘For what?’ he asked quietly.

‘For giving me a piec...

She was already between worlds and fading back into darkness when he replied softly, ‘You have more of me than I care to admit.’

My heart

‘Then live, Elara. For her.’

‘To not just make love to her, but to worship her.’ His lips were a hair’s breadth away. If she breathed deeply, her lips would touch his.

This man!!!

‘Would it really not bother you, Elara?’ he murmured.

‘Yes,’ she breathed. ‘Yes, I would care.’

FINALLY

‘Fina...

Ahhhhhh

‘Elara, if you were in Aphrodea without me during the solstice,’ he raised his hands in exasperation, ‘I would burn the kingdom to the ground.’

AHHHHHH STOP RN

‘If you really feel that way, then why haven’t you kissed me again?’

Finally

‘You wonder why I haven’t kissed you again?’ he murmured. ‘It’s all I’ve fucking thought about. You plague me, Elara. And that damned charm…I didn’t know if that was the only reason you kissed me.’

FERAL

The next time you moan for me, you’ll have no charm to blame it upon. So be patient, Elara, and be ready.’

Yup this man is feral

‘Remember, princess. I’m perfectly comfortable with burning this kingdom to the ground.’

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh THIS MAN!!!!

Then his lips were on hers, and sparks flew off her in showers of white.

‘Hello, Daughter,’ Torra said, smiling. Merissa’s lip curled as Enzo’s and Elara’s eyes widened. ‘Hello, Mother.’

WTF!?!?!?

‘There is a light within your darkness,’ he said. ‘All you need do is find it.’

‘You have seconds, princess,’ he said quietly, ‘before the very little restraint I have disappears and I decide I don’t mind an audience.’

Ahhhhhhh

His neck strained as he let out a long breath, looking to the ceiling. ‘Your plan all those months ago is working. You’re trying to fucking kill me.’

Ahhhhhh

Elara, just answer me this. When the world is stripped bare, what is it you seek? Because I know what Enzo seeks. Who Enzo seeks.’

‘He looks for you in every room.’

Uggg my heart

‘I look for him too.’

At least you admit it

She was in love with him. And not only that, when he had kissed her in the clouds, she had felt a lightning bolt of power that she could not deny.

‘Oh, there you are.’

‘Don’t lie to me, Elara,’ he bit out. ‘And more importantly, stop lying to yourself.’

Ahhhhh

‘In the Helion court, there is a tradition. It dates back centuries. To give you his crown—it means that when he ascends to power, he would choose you as his queen, or forfeit his kingdom for you.’

STOP RN AHHHHHH

‘That you were my soulmate.’

Crying

Other than that you know that I am in love with you, Elara.

‘I love you too,’ she whispered against his lips. ‘I think I’ve been falling since I met you. It was so easy to love you, Enzo. Your strength, your passion, your courageous lion’s heart.’ She placed a palm over his raggedly beating chest. ‘I’ve waited all my life for you.’

‘You overestimate my compassion, Elara, and underestimate how deeply mine you are. I would let the whole world burn if it kept you warm.’

‘So you’d set the world on fire for me,’ she mused. ‘Well, I would turn the world to darkness for you. If you were taken from me, not a single light would shine until you were back home,’

‘There was never a happy ending for us. There never is for star-crossed lovers.’

No i dont accept this fate

You are the love of my life, El. My love of lifetimes.’

‘That you were my angel.’

‘You were mine before I knew. We are destined, you and I. By something other than fate, other than Stars. We will always find our way back to each other. We have before, and we will again.’ With his palm still pressed to her chest, he rubbed his thumb over her heart. ‘Even in death, I will be by your side. My love will live on.’

A deep understanding resounded through Elara as the phrase finally took hold, and she died.

WTF!?!?!

‘I made a vow to my soulmate. We are going to awaken the Sun. We are going to find the Celestes. And then the Stars will fall.’
