“There’s two kinds of men in the world,” she says. “The kind who want to hurt you . . . and the kind who want to be persuaded by you.”
I’ve spent three years pretending to be Ares—calm, kind, patient. Humble.
Dean Yenin stands up as well. “I’ll go talk to him,” he says, resting his hand on Cat’s shoulder. “Stay and enjoy your dinner, my love.”
OK WAIT I LOVE THEM GIVE ME ANOTHER BOOK OF THEM
Hedeon Gray has been digging for clues about his biological parents. I could tell him everything he wants to know. Instead I have to pretend to be his friend, his confidante, while secretly blocking him from ever discovering the truth—yet another task assigned to me that I loathe.
????
I could make it look like an accident. No one knows we’re down here, except for Dean. He’d keep my secret, just like he kept Cat’s. Just like I’ve kept Cat’s secret.
you KNOW?????
In Russia, we say, Kakov pop takov i prihod: What the priest is like, so is the church.
Never was someone put in a more appropriate division than when Cat was assigned to the Spies.

Marko Moroz killed his former mentor with a pen. Stabbed him right through the eye, or so I’ve heard.
who is this mentor
Leo really is my best friend at Kingmakers. He might be my best friend anywhere, which is a funny thing to say about someone who doesn’t know your real name.
idiocy. I haven’t had a near-slip like that in a long time—not since I fought Dean and lost control of myself.
Something about her—maybe the sensual edge to her beauty, or the air of recklessness—reminds me of Sabrina Gallo.
“Evalina Markov . . . Who is she?”
THIS WAS ONE OF IVANS MEN. THATS EHY ARES KNOWS HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
Still, it’s unlike her to behave so recklessly, tossing off her Miss Robin demeanor like a stifling fur coat, the real Sloane emerging
Sloane!!!!!!!!!
I’m not sorry when Hedeon Markov interrupts us, accompanied by his son Kristoff, his daughter Evalina, and her fiancé Donovan Dryagin. The Markovs are one of the only families who supported me during my bloody battle with my rival Remizov. The Markovs’ loyalty will not be forgotten—they will always have a place at my table.
until I’m writhing and moaning,

Present Day
HUH????????????????!!!!!!!?!?!!!?!????!?!?!!?!?
“I’m not Ares. My name is Rafe Petrov. My father is Ivan Petrov. He’s been imprisoned for three and a half years. Tomorrow, I finally bring him home.”
I, on the other hand, know exactly what’s happening. My wife is here.
😈😈😈😈
They gaze into each other’s eyes as Ivan growls, “Remember what I told you, my little fox: nothing could keep me from coming back to you.”
The feral scream that just came out of me
“I want you,” I say to her. “I want your wildness. I want your passion. I want you to love me the way you love the wind and the water and the outdoors. I want you to be untamable, except by me. I want you to be my wife.”
😭😭😭😭😭
