“In death you will find peace that no longer exists in this place. In the Void, you will realize there are some fates worse than death itself,”
From the moment I’d been created, from the very instant I’d come into this world and drawn my first breath, she’d been in the Void between life and death.
“I care because I would want someone to do the same for you if the time ever came. I care because the witches cursed us to maintain the balance of nature after the Fae became too powerful. The cycle of life is all a part of that balance, and to disrespect it is to threaten nature itself.”
I have already waited centuries to feel the love we share. I would wait one hundred more.”
“Don’t make me your villain,”
A mate is chosen to be our balance. You are my balance. Everything good that exists inside of me comes from you. If I lost you, you might as well burn the world to ash,”
I felt you fall in love all over again, but with me this time. I see in your eyes that you wish you could take it back more than anything, but you can’t. Because you and I both know what you felt; we both know you loved me with everything you were. More than you ever loved your husbands in all your past lives. You still do, and you can’t wish that away, because you were born to love me, whether I deserve it or not.”
I wanted the blood I was owed.
“He is fortunate that you survived,” Caldris murmured against me, his words twisted and his voice filled with cruelty. He brushed the hair away from my neck. “Otherwise I’d have kept him alive to play with him over the course of years. Let the cwn annwn have their fun. They are far more merciful than me.”
There will never come a day when I do not enjoy watching you bring men to their knees and cut their throats when they underestimate you. You would do well to remember that,”
That part of me was nothing but a traitorous bitch, and I wanted nothing to do with her.
“If you run, I will hunt you down. I think you know now what would happen when I caught you.”
“Your list would be mercifully short, my star. There has been no one since the moment you came of age in your first life and the bond snapped into place.”
“I became such a bore the moment my mate grew so angry she summoned the darkness of the night sky to do her bidding,”
“The only time pain truly ends is when we enter the Void after death. To live is to feel pain.”
“I would never tell you to be like me. I would advise you to find love in your heart, to find patience and understanding, even if I am incapable of it myself. Because as we’ve stood here having this worthless conversation that I will not bother to remember in a few days’ time, I’ve already imagined a dozen different ways I could kill you,” I said, watching as her eyes rounded with shock. She swallowed, glancing at Caldris out of the corner of her eye. “I do not need the God of the Dead to fight my battles with a human woman; I would do it myself. So no, Skye. Don’t be like me.

“Aren’t you?” she asked. No part of her moved, not her mouth or her hands at her sides, but a strangled sound bubbled up Octavian’s throat in response. His hands flew to his throat, nails digging in on either side as he dropped to his knees. I watched in horror as his face turned red. “What’s that? Witch got your tongue?” Imelda stared down at him, turning her head to the side and leaning forward as if she would be able to understand the babbles coming from him.
“I’d like to see you reach the stirrups, witch,” Holt said, placing a foot in one pointedly and lifting himself up onto the back of the saddle. He settled himself against her ass, pressing closer than was probably necessary as she froze solid. “I did warn you that you would feel it,” he added with a chuckle, reaching
My skeleton stood with the still-beating heart finally in its hands. It carried it to me, blood pumping free to stain its bones.
“Es to un caoin asteren en min awyr,”
She served my desire to watch the world burn.
“Because I love my mother. I love in ways that we both know you will never understand. Not with your own self-hatred and the way you’ve become the portrait of everything you hated as a boy,”
“Not all men are worthy of reincarnation,” Caldris said,
“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.”
