Kindle Notes & Highlights
I nearly blanch at the thought. Kill her? Fuck no. I’m not a danger to her here, but she hates me, and she should. Fuck, I hate myself for the past. For not being stronger.
She hates me. She’s always going to fucking hate me because she doesn’t know the truth, but some time with her…perhaps she will…fuck, I don’t know.
After what Finn said, it sounds like she rejected us to protect us. I don’t know about you, but I’m fucking heartbroken over that idea. Our mate protected us! We treated her like shit for it.”
He presses the button on the laptop next to him, and video footage from outside the bombed house plays. Video footage of Gwen fighting the Vian like a badass. One Vian actually touches her, and it does nothing to her at all. Their touch doesn’t work on her. She just kills him, then one after the other like a very well-trained ranger, but it’s more than that, she enjoys it. She is fast, smart, and she is smiling as she murders our enemies. Why the fuck do I like seeing her do this?
“Fucking bastard,” a familiar voice mutters near my ear as I’m carefully placed on a bed. “Tell me you’re okay, Gwenieve? Tell me you hate me and you want me fucking dead. Anything. Try to kill me. I won’t even fucking stop you this time…come on…”
Because independence sometimes masks loneliness, and it’s not until you’ve been independent for so long that you realise you’re lonely.
Finn strolls in and my eyes widen as I look at him. He’s covered in blood.
“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 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.”
“You’re mine.” He wraps his hand around my neck. “But making you fall in love with me is going to be a challenge. It’ll be the best fucking thing I’ve ever done in my life, and I’m never giving up.
“Nexus. You’re standing between me and my mate. Move or we are going to have a real big fucking problem.”
My Nexus has an enemy-to-lovers kink.
“Have my life, my Nexus, anything! Wake up and tell me you hate me. Tell me to fuck off and kiss me like I’m nothing to you. I’ll take anything, but open those pretty eyes, Gwen. WAKE UP!”
