Kindle Notes & Highlights
"Babies are a joy," Darian said. "Good, you have one. Then you wake up every two hours and feed and change it. Then you spend the next four to five years watching and guarding it's every step until it can walk and talk on its own. After that, it's school, homework, puberty, and attitude. No. Thank. You." Meryn shuddered.
"Meryn cannot be described, only experienced."
"It's because I'm a 'Limited Edition'. Y'all should be grateful for even knowing me," Meryn huffed. "We are, my love. We are." Aiden scowled at his men over Meryn's head. "We wouldn't trade you for a sane version any day,"
And there goes my heart, where did it go? Oh yes, in his pocket to carry around for all time.
"Ryuu is Coffee God. Ryuu can do whatever the fuck he wants."
"My kids are going to be awesome. I will read to them and make sure they know how to get to Narnia or what to do if the Doctor ever grabs their hand and says 'run!' and they'll know what the one true ring is."
Sugar. Honey. Iced. Tea! Note to self: Call Father to let him know I've mated.
"You mean she's motivated by coffee and nerd gear and judges people solely on whether they're an asshole or not?"
"Meryn, listen carefully. Elizabeth is not only your new sister; she will also be your Yoda. She will teach you and guide you in the ways of using the force, so that you will master paranormal politics. Learn well, young padawan."
just talk to him, Meryn. He may be a shifter, but he's still a male. Use small words, not a lot of syllables, and you'll be fine,"
"As you wish." Elizabeth turned to stare at him. Did he just quote Princess Bride?
"If you are constantly holding on to her and guarding her every step, she won't have the strength or confidence to stand on her own. If you tell her how and where to step, she won't be able to walk through life, and if you don't let her walk, you'll never see her fly. And when she is confident and flying through life, she shines."
"Would you drink from a man?" Gavriel nodded. "Would you drink in a van?" she asked her eyes dancing. "I don't see why not," he replied. Elizabeth stared at Meryn as she continued. "Would you drink from an actor?" Again, Gavriel nodded. Laughing, Elizabeth shook her head at Meryn. "Would you drink on a tractor?"
"Don't mind Ethel, she's just ornery because no man ever went shopping for her, if you know what I mean." "Bartholomew Macleod, I'll tell your wife you said that to me," Ethel threatened. Bart shrugged. "Go ahead, she knows you're not getting any, either." Ethel gasped. "Well, I never!" Bart laughed. "Probably part of your problem."
"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?" Meryn quipped
"Much to learn you still have, my old padawan."
Maybe he had stored her heart away with his other treasures from myth and legend.
"Basil Barberry, witch. Kai Anders, tiger. Cedric Ri'Emere, fae and I am Lennox Chevalier, vampire.
"I love that movie! You're like my Yoda and my Gandalf," Meryn said, easily finishing off her half glass. Elizabeth smiled, she could think of no higher praise from Meryn.
"Try not to take over the world while we poor grunts are training." She flipped her hair off her shoulder. "We make no promises."
"Meryn! Do not treat your minion like a sled dog!" She stopped abruptly. Had that just come out of her mouth?
"Have fun. Don't kill any of your trainees at work today, honey," she said and stopped. She had done it again!
We're having a girl and I'm going to teach her all about the Doctor and Star Wars and handguns and grenades."
These things should be burned, I don't see how anyone can wear them."
Aiden shook his head and mumbled. "I don't get her sometimes." Gavriel sat down in the wingback chair next to them and picked up a copy of the Lycaonian Herald, the city's newspaper. "We are not meant to. Only get concerned if they are not smiling," he advised.
"You went against an army of ferals and didn't get a scratch on you. You come home and piss off the women and they almost take you out!"
"Don't touch that!" he pulled her away from the body of a feral. "But it's still twitching," Meryn said.
