Celestial Alphas (Nexus, #2)

by G. Bailey

“I will beg for you. I will do anything. You want me on my knees? I’ll be on my fucking knees forever. You want me to murder this whole entire city? I will fucking murder this entire city, and we can remake a world that bows for you. There’s no line I wouldn’t cross for you. There’s no place I wouldn’t go. There’s no darkness I wouldn’t completely drench myself in to save you. I’ve been obsessed, fucking obsessed, since I met you. I was obsessed before just at the idea of my mate. Nothing ever compared, no one ever did. It was just you. The moment I saw you, Gods as my witness, I wanted to fucking hate you so bad. I was jealous and angry and so many things. I thought you rejected me, but I can see it now. You rejected me to save me. I’ll probably never in a lifetime be able to make up for how much of a dick I’ve been. But I’m never going to stop trying, Sun, even if you never accept me back. Everything starts now. I’m making sure you’re not alone. One night was far too fucking much, and when I saw you in the trial, your lip cut and how tired you looked… Fuck.” He stares into my soul, right down to the stardust that makes us both. “I won’t ask who did that to you, because I don’t need to know. I only need to make sure I’m by your side so that no one has the chance to hurt you again.”

My Nexus has an enemy-to-lovers kink. Brilliant. Especially considering one of them is actively trying to get her to destroy the world. My psychopath Nexus might have seen that as a weird way to propose before screaming yes. They’re bad guys, not hot guys. Well, they are hot. I’m really not proving a good point right now.
