What Hunts Inside the Shadows (Of Flesh & Bone, #2)

by Harper L. Woods

“It is time for the stars in the sky to rest for the day, Little One, and that means the star I hold in my arms must rise,”

“With the God of the Dead wrapped around your finger, you can mold the world into whatever you want it to be.”

Period.

I want to fuck you while you’re covered in the blood and death of our enemies who thought they could take you from me.”

“But I’m your monster, my star. Now tell me what I want to hear. I want to hear you say the thought that is rattling around inside your beautiful, twisted little mind.”

Need

“Why would I want to fight with you? All I want is to love you,”

“I love you, Estrella. I have loved you for centuries and waited for you to be mine. If there is no hope, no chance of you accepting me into your heart in truth, then I will gladly allow you to be the one to end my eternity of suffering. If the last thing I see is your face, then I can go to the Void in peace.”

Im in tears

“I love you. In this life or the afterlife, my star. I will always wait for you.”

I laughed, seeking a moment to stall the monster I’d created. She’d be the death of me, but it was the greatest end I could ever imagine.

“I am going to love you until the stars disappear from the night sky and the sun ceases to shine. Until the world returns to the void from whence it was born and chaos reigns once again.”

“My soul, my heart, my flesh, and my sword are yours, and if ever there should come a day when your heart ceases to beat, I will follow you into the Void.”
