For the ones who lost themselves trying to please everyone. You can still be anything you want to be.
“Tonight is for you, Milla. Tell me more about yourself.”
“What would you like to know?”
“Everything.”
“We can stop whenever you want, Milla. But I’m begging you, stay with me a little longer.”
“I think you are the most beautiful thing in this city, Milla, and I am an admirer of beautiful things.”
“I’d be beside myself if anything happened to you on your way home after I kept you out all night. Grant me more time with you. Please.”
“Not anymore, princess. I’m your daddy now.”
“Are you insane?”
“You’re not my daddy, Attano,”
“And I warned you. When I say I’ll do something, I mean it.”
“I was teasing you, Camilla!”
“Well, clearly I misread your intentions.”
“I’m wary of letting you so close to my face with needles, but you made a fine gash.”
“You almost knocked me out cold,”
“Fortunately for you, you have a very hard head. The edges are well approximated, so it might not even scar.”
“Who did this to you, Milla?”
“We might have been rivals in our past, but we are together now. You are mine, and as long as you are bound to me, I will do everything in my power to keep you safe.”
The sparks of his magic tingled my skin as it brushed my cheeks, and I fought the urge to lift my hand and study the unique touch of his remnant.
“I like you. You’re
pretty, but I can tell you don’t bend for anyone. Tough and unbreakable”—her gaze leveled on mine—“like cast iron.”
“Let go of my wife, or you will die tonight.”
“Was this the one who bit you, princess?”
“Anyone who puts a gun to my girl’s head will lose their hand.”
“And then,”
“they will lose their head.
Burn in the void, ...

“As for comparing me to them, how fucking dare you. Because I wanted you the second you rolled your eyes at me in my pub, and you didn’t offer me a thing then.”
“You wanted a different person, Nico. That girl was only a piece of who I am. When you found out the rest, you jumped at your chance to make your life easier using my name, just like everyone else.”
“I think the girl in front of me right now is just a piece of you. And I’d bet I met the real you that night when you shed your last name, the worries over your family’s judgments and expectations, and just lived in the moment. This you”—he clasped my chin—“is a lie. It is controlled by too many outside influences to be genuine.”
“It’s real to me, Milla. I made a vow to you, on paper and in word. I would never betray you in that way.”
“I think I’ve slept a whole three hours since she took the title of Mrs. Attano. Chaos every damn day, almost started another war with the queen of bleeders, has nearly died under my protection twice.”
“Yet she has managed to charm my evil grandmother, befriend those who were once her enemy, wear the color of my family with the grace of a princess.”
“They are not all you have, Milla. You have me, and there is no time limit for my friendship. No contract to negotiate those terms. It is freely given for as long as you’ll take it.”
“I see you, Milla. I see all of you. The good, the better, and the best because there is no bad in you. You are enough. Stop letting those Marcheses make you think you need to do something to earn their approval. There is a house full of Attanos who think you’re wonderful, just the way you are.”
“Wear your black tweed with the silver pocket square. It matches your stupid eyes.”
“I love it when you talk dirty to me,”
“Don’t keep me waiting, princess. Be a good girl and make it quick.”
They’ve tamed you well, princess.
“Everything alright, princess? We almost stormed the castle to come get you.”
“I’m not the princess here anymore, Attano. I’m the fucking dragon. Now, let’s go before my brother decides to shoot you.”
“You heard the boss. Back to the Row,”
“And just for the record, Milla,”
“you’re still my princess.”
“Saints, Milla.”
“Why does
everything you do have ...
