The moonkrests are nowhere to be seen.”
Uh oh
I turned to ask him what he thought was happening, but I was alone on the dock.
UH OH
Screams and sounds of fighting pierced the peaceful night, and I spun toward town. I started back down the dock but froze when I heard the thick beat of wings above me.
OHHHH NOOOOOO
Both his skin and clothes were ill-fitting, and I wondered if this wasn’t his true form.
Ew I don’t like that
I doubt a town full of Itians could even scratch her.”
I read Italians 🤌
A bird of night landed in the trees just above Umemri, its glittering eyes boring into me. Watching. Waiting. It stretched its wings and cawed loudly, but neither Umemri nor his guards seemed to notice it at all. I blinked up at it. The damn thing seemed curious about our conversation. The peculiar thing, though, was that birds had fled this area hundreds of years ago.
She held someone more precious to me than a throne or a crown or the air I breathed. Dianna was more precious to me than any world or realm. I would sacrifice it all for her and not think twice about it.

“You may have returned, but you did so with a weakness, World Ender. All your enemies will know it now. They will know how to break you, and when you break, so will the world.”
</3
“Don’t,” I said. I wasn’t denying the words that made me hate myself, but the threat she posed to what she held. My eyes fell on Dianna before they raked to Nismera. “She’s all I have.”
😭
in a war between gods, no one wins.”
I may wield Oblivion, but it seemed Dianna controlled it. It responded readily when she was in danger,
“I thought I heard a fucking hurricane, but it was just you two having sex?” “Don’t tell him.” My words danced to her. We had more than enough to worry about without this added. “I won’t,” she replied. “Think of the children, Dianna,” Cameron scoffed before pointing to himself. “And the sexless.” A small snort left my lips.
😂
I considered changing forms, especially since I had to wrap my damn tail around me to avoid squishing anyone, but I was a bitch who loved dramatics.
lol
"Lord Orble had a terrible accident years ago. I am his son Iver. I am Lord of Shorerock now."
🚩🚩🚩
"If I ever give you children and you speak to me or them that way, I'll cut your cock off, fry it, and feed it to you."
"I don't find quips or innuendos about my wife humorous, Iver, and if you make crude comments about her again, I will no longer concern myself with being your ally. I will have your head, and then I will have your city."
YES SAMKIEL ILY
"Don't apologize to me," Samkiel said, his lethally calm tone at odds with the powerful storm building outside. "Apologize to her."
"If I may speak freely."
You haven’t really done anything else
my union with Imogen was strictly political and orchestrated by my father in an attempt to temper my wild ways. My marriage to Dianna was not arranged. I married her because I love her. Whether she be Ig'Morruthen, god, celestial, or mortal, my love and devotion to her would not change. So, no, it is not for power. And might I remind you, my sister and her rebellion destroyed Rashearim," Samkiel said. "She and other traitorous gods who wished for Unir's throne, not my wife."
"If we threaten violence, we are no better than her," Samkiel said. "He's a fool. They all are." "He's loyal to her as they all have been. Fear does that. I would want them to follow us with such loyalty as well." A low growl vibrated in my throat. "I'd rather he followed her into a grave. He's a waste of air."
Too just
Every now and then, Vincent would catch me admiring the beauty surrounding us, and he would look at me as I looked at them. As if I were the most enchanting thing in the cosmos.
<3
without a final goodbye to her. It was such a silly thing to dream of someone who didn’t know the depths to which they owned you.
Isaiah on Imogen
“Dianna is not these realms’ enemy, but if their mistreatment of her continues, I shall be.”
“I do believe you’ll win this war. I only fear it may take what’s left of your good heart.”
Uh oh
“I feel you.” He said it calmly. “Feel for you. When you wake, when you walk, when you breathe.” My lips curled into a sassy grin. “Sorry, but I’m happily married.”
💍
“There is something near you,” he said, ignoring me. His eyes were fixated on me as if he were trying to solve the puzzle that was me. “It’s something that blocks me from you when you slumber, but it appears whatever it may be is not there now.
Oblivion but Samkiel is gone
Enormous, powerful wings spawned mini tornadoes as we took flight.
This is not going to help with getting people to be less afraid of her
“Give me your pain as you give me your love,” he said, placing my hand against his chest. “Let me carry it as you do, so you’ll never be alone with it.”
“Control me then. Whatever you wish.” His thumb traced my cheek. “I am only ever yours to command.”
💜
“Who do you belong to?” I asked, stroking him lazily. His eyes seemed to glow a shade brighter at the demand. “You,” he answered breathlessly. “Only you. Forever.” “Good.” I slid my mouth down his chest. “I want you throbbing.” My hand stroked in unison with my words, drawing a mangled gasp from him as my teeth pinched his skin. “I want you aching.” Another kiss and nip as I sank lower, tracing the dips of his abs. My knees bent until they touched the floor, and I glanced up at him from beneath hooded lashes. “I want you desperate.”
🥵
He shouted my name, and I heard the echo of it along our bond. It was both a curse and a prayer, and the reverence in it would have shoved me to my knees if I weren’t already there.
Ok poet
“That was so…” he panted, easing his cock from between my lips and looking down at me as if I were the god and not him. “Hot.”
Buh dum dah! 🥁
Get it? Bc flames
He allowed me to have my power back at the cost of his, and I’d kill anyone for him, burn legions, and decimate armies if he wished it. I’d find his stolen crown and place it back on his head in its rightful place, and then I would make his enemies weep before I slaughtered them. There were no limits to what I would do or give up for him. I’d be the monster they feared, and I’d relish in it.
Love them together
“We should try lightning next.”
Ok violet
The water ran along the gutters carved in the middle of the streets and drained into the rank sewage below the city. Like she had with so many others, Nismera had let this part of the realms go. The lonely, poor, and forgotten inhabited this place. No one would bat an eye at my arrival.
This is where Sami needs to get his support
when Death brought me back,
What was the cost and who paid it?
“And the Ig’Morruthen he protects,” Othello cut in. “We want to know about it.”
It. You mean her? His wife? His mate?
Our strengths are different, but it doesn’t make you any less powerful.”
it may take you a long time to make contact with him. Cameron is an accomplished warrior trained by Samkiel.
She’s gunna be a natural
“Please don’t stab me in the balls,” he whispered. I winked at him, twirling my dagger. “I’d never hurt my most prized possessions.” “All right,” Cameron called out, “there are children present.” “She didn’t even hear me!” I yelled back.
lol
I smiled but looked around, unable to shake the feeling that we were being watched.
Kaden!!!!!
“Denial is the first step in admitting the truth.”
“But you love him?” she asked. “Like Dianna loves Samkiel?” My heart thudded like a starved, rabid beast in my chest. Love seemed like such a simple word for what I felt. I’d give my last breath if it meant he existed. Dying for him would be easy. I remade myself for him, gave my life, and burned away my celestial blood until only the Ig’Morruthen beneath my skin lived. Love? No, it had been more than love for a while now. My only regret in all of it was that I feared he would never know.
<3
“Perhaps it’s your dream man attempting to make contact because I don’t sense anything of significant power in the vicinity. At least nothing that would alert either one of us.”
If you only knew
“The whole point of helping others is not to expect a reward,”
True but it does help
“I fear I foresee no future in which that shall ever come to pass.”
Gunna say this instead of no from now on
“You are my number one priority, Samkiel.” I reached up and cupped his jaw, idly rubbing my thumb over the rough stubble on his cheek. “Nothing is more important than you, and when you don’t share your burdens with me, it scares me. I know you’re at war, baby, even in your sleep, but let me fight those battles with you. Please? I worry about you.”
<3
When we finished the first bottle, I hopped to my feet and went in search of another. “You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you?” Samkiel asked when I returned victorious with a new bottle gripped in my hand. With a wicked grin, I sat down and grabbed our glasses, pouring for both of us. “Well, I feel the need to know what drunk Samkiel is like,” I said. He picked up his glass and smirked at me before tapping my nose. “A terror like you, but not as constant.” “I want to see.” His eyes sparkled as he watched me. “You would.” My lip protruded in a small pout. “Come on. Remember, one night of

Oh no
I think I am like everyone else. Even the most brutal kings and warriors wish for the same thing.” “And what’s that?” “Love. No one, immortal or not, wishes to be alone forever. No matter what they say.” “Oh?” My brow rose. He nodded and slid closer to me, his thigh touching mine as he leaned toward my ear so I could hear him over the laughing tavern. “Look around the room. There are those dancing because they love that music has returned. Others are cuddling because they love one another and need to touch. Even the forest outside sings for its love of the night. Wars have begun and ended
