Fearless (The Powerless Trilogy, #3)

by Lauren Roberts

I don’t even need to turn around. The mere presence of her is familiar, branded into the hollow of my neck where her head rests, tethered to my ankle and forever tugging me toward her.

I dip my head, hiding the twitch of my lips. Then I tuck our moment into that quiet part of my mind, right alongside the others. Just in case we never get the chance to share another.

I give him a look. “Don’t make promises you can’t keep.” “It’s not promises I care to keep—it’s you.”

This girl holds my heart in her hands, could crush it between her fingers and still have me thanking her for the touch.

But I am no stranger to drowning. I’ve been doing just that since the day I looked into her ocean eyes.

“Did you come in here just to flirt, Azer?” “Darling, I haven’t even started.”

Every moment with her is spent mourning the next, awaiting the day we speak for the last time.

“Death himself couldn’t drag me from you.”

“Don’t fear power. Wield it. Perhaps even let it control you.” The queen smiles sharply. “Being an Ordinary is not what makes you weak. It’s your heart.”
