Kindle Notes & Highlights
More and more eyes were coming to settle on her as she was pointed out among the Fae.
Im already in love with the family so this is going to be so good
“Tessa it is then. Whenever possible.” That was a weird caveat.
??? cue the cute nickname
Furthermore, I do not think you want to travel in that gown, no matter how stunning you look in it,” Theon explained.
AND IM SAT
“Easy, beautiful,”
Wtf not even 30 pages im so ready and im feral literally what is going on
Her lips parted as though released from a hold. “I understand…Master.” She knew the word should taste bitter on her tongue, but to her horror, it was sweet and wanted. “Good girl,”
Tell me how im supposed to like this and not have it give stockholm syndrome??? Im sat though…
thing
Alright we mentioned this twice
Be what they want you to be now, so you can be who you were meant to be later.
So much annotating but im gonna need this later
He stiffened imperceptibly. “We are not… This is not a formal setting, Tessa.”
I cant tell if this is him realizing he hurt her or like he realizes shes more powerful than he thought??
“Don’t growl at her, Theon,” Luka cut in. “You know the adjustment will take time. She will need time to navigate this, and how it works. You both will.” “I am aware of that, but she does not need to be in pain,” Theon argued. “I do not want to see her in pain when I can do something about it.”
Hmmmm
But even the thing inside her had gone quiet, all the fight going out of her. So instead she sat with her eyes closed until the next round of vomiting and pain consumed her.
It had been pure coincidence that he’d stumbled upon her on his way back from washing his hands after another Legacy had bumped into him and caused wine to spill over the side of his glass and all over his hand.
Hmmmmm
Five minutes in that alcove with her and he’d known she’d be coming home with him.
hot
But when Theon’s gaze had landed on her, when he’d found her leaning against another male and he’d felt the prickle of irritation at seeing another’s hands on her, he’d known it was over.
Oof
“Are you going to be a moody bastard the entire drive?” “Probably.”
Its giving dorian and chaol in the best way
“I’m going to buy her a pair of godsdamn flip-flops, Theon,” he retorted, not bothering to look back at him.
Im so team Luka and i feel im not supposed to be so wtf is going on
“No, beautiful,” he said, shaking his head. “You look like salvation and temptation all rolled into one.”
“You can fight it all you want, but you are going to belong to me. Every piece of you.”
I dont love this but im trusting the process
“Obstinate and stubborn mean the same thing. Pick a different adjective,” she shot back.
Oh i love her
“Kneel, Tessa, and not another word.”
Holy shit like how am i suppose to like him now??? its giving rowan hitting Aelin but like worse??
something snapped in her, just like the day she’d screamed to the gods on the drive here. It was a thing that lurked inside her, that only one other had ever been able to help her control.
Wait WHAT
Theon’s hand came to her hair, running through the parts of it left down, and the fucking bond hummed in gratitude for his touch. It didn’t care that she was sitting on the floor in humiliation. It only cared that she was touching him, even if it was at his feet.
Okay this is making me SICK
“Tell me what is wrong,”
Is he a fucking idiot
and she heard someone else comment something about the thunder that was rumbling outside, but she didn’t slow.
Thats her power
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, the sound mixing with her screams, and as she sank to her knees, it started to pour. Big, cold drops splashed onto her face, into her hair. And gods, it felt amazing. Something wild and free. She was soaked in a matter of seconds, the beautiful dress she was wearing likely ruined.
Too wild to be something, so forced to be nothing.
but his father’s punishments would have been far worse. He’d never been given the opportunity to explain though.
Hmmm okay i guess that makes sense
He’d become the nightmare she already thought he was.
Well shit ummm
“You don’t scare me, Theon,” Tessa retorted, grateful her voice didn’t waiver because she was fucking terrified. “I really, really should, beautiful,” he answered,
Hot
“Right now, I’m going to count to three, and then I’m going to kiss you.”
And im sat
“If I have to chase you down while naked, I cannot be held entirely responsible for what will happen when I catch you.”
F
You are too much of a hassle.
Im gonna cry
The less time spent locked in the dark.
My baby
but at least this was a steady drizzle rather than a storm.
Mhmmm
“You were not to leave my sight or my side for more than a few minutes at a time,”
Ok wtf he is really pmo
A violent gust of wind tore through the garden path, knocking the second male back several inches, and Tessa used it to her advantage, crawling away even farther.
So wind and storms???
“Perhaps, but I think he will find what we saw very interesting,” the second replied. “Then let’s go tell him before she summons any more of those things,
In some way or another, she was scared of him. A part of him was satisfied with that response. He craved control and instilling fear was definitely one way to obtain that.
Wtf dont pmo
“I… Axel told me to run. I thought you’d want me to follow his orders since you weren’t here. I’m sorry,” she whispered.
Im so confused like why is she being like this
“Her father’s daughter,” the second said. “She will be powerful.”
Oh shit
“Agreed,”
Its not giving "sorrengail - two r's" and im pissed
People who wanted her for her, not what she could give them.
He smirked down at her as she struggled, his dark magic coiling like snakes around his forearm. “Tell me this, Tessalyn: Did your precious Dex ever touch you?”
WhaT the fuck
Except he hadn’t.
Oh no the consequences of my own actions. Are we supposed to like him bc im done
It was worth it to know his Source would be more powerful than his father’s, just as it would be worth it to put her through the next three Marks to make sure he could access that power.
Dude wtf im so not the target audience for this bc wtf
“You are the reason for that, Theon!” she cried. “You are the reason someone needs to take care of me. Again.”
Took the words right out of my mouth
If he wanted to look at her, he was going to.
If he doesnt give me some rowan level redemption arc i will riot
“That doesn’t mean she knows why she can do that,” Axel shot back. “Have you even asked her about it?” Theon scoffed. “Yes. We had a rather heartfelt conversation about it in between all the bickering and power struggles.” “You’ve made this a power struggle,” Axel retorted. “She gets along with Luka and I just fine when we are not being dicks to her.”
BOOM
“Because your eyes remind me of a thunderstorm,” he answered, revealing only part of the reason.
Wait does he know??
Axel had crossed the room to her and held out his hand. “Spin, baby doll. Show us everything.” A small huff of laughter left her, and she let him spin her in a slow circle. He dramatically clutched at his chest before leaning in and pressing a soft kiss to her cheek. “You look stunning, Tessa.”
At this point im expecting an fmmm and idk how i feel about that
“Out of duty or because you care for her?” Felicity questioned, bringing her wine back to her lips. “Can it not be both?” “It can be, but is it?”
Asking the hard hitting questions here… i feel like i like her but i cant tell
