If they made me choose between you and the babies, and this world, it would be my family every time.”
growth?
They were more than a weakness, they were everything to us.
You’re a good man, even if you don’t want to be. You are not as evil as you want everyone to believe, and that should count for something, Lucian.
“I couldn’t save this world and you. I had to make a choice. I chose you. By choosing you over this place, the others have noticed. This world may die, and you may have to abandon it at some point, but you won’t abandon our people. I knew this scenario may come to light, but I had no questions about your loyalty in the grand scheme of the bigger picture.
“She can die, she’s tied to Faery. I’m tied to the people; until the last Fae draws breath, I’ll exist.
“They say a few words now, mostly ‘momma’ when we glamour your image for them. They say ‘Fairy’ when we show them Ryder’s, which I assume is because you call him that,” Liam said proudly. “They’re smart. Mother says they are smarter than most of the babies she’s ever seen, and I’m pretty sure they can sift already. Kahleena is making the most progress. She’s very smart and determined. She seems to be in charge and the others follow her lead.”
To us, she’s our God. There is no proof she exists anymore, and yet we still do her bidding and follow her rules.”

So I’m going to figure out how to free her, and when I do, I will tell you where she is. Until then, you all need to have a little faith in her because she pretty much ordered me to leave her there. You raised her, all of you. She isn’t defenseless, and she’s a lot stronger than you all think she is. Give yourselves and her a little credit, because you trained a warrior while raising her to be a lady. I’m not sorry that I can’t tell you where she is right now, because I know she’s going to show you what she is made of. She’s just like you: stubborn, pigheaded, but loyal and brilliant.”
Ryder is the strongest of the Fae, and he’s yours. The Fae weren’t the target here, Synthia. You were.”
“I’m Synthia, Goddess of Faery and the Queen of the Horde. I will reign down blood and fire to get my King back, and if I have to do it without you, so be it. I will not fall. I will not bow. I will become the monster they accuse us of being if they wish it. You can either stand with me in solidarity, or stay the hell out of my way. The choice is yours. I expect a decision and a response from all of you within the next few hours. I suggest you think it over and consider your decision carefully.”
“Yes, but you’re not a Witch, Goddess. You are ours now. They will follow you anywhere you or Ryder asks them to go,” Zahruk said.
Only when the Horde and the Gods produce the three, shall the portals let loose and the Fae be free. Worlds will combine, chaos shall reign.”
I’m not sure how I did it before I met you. I don’t even want to remember who I was before you. My world was black and white, and then you entered it with those fierce blue eyes that challenged me at every turn, and added color to my world. You are my weakness, but you’re also my greatest strength.”
There’s no one else I want, not now, not ever. It’s only you, it’s always been you,” he murmured as he exploded inside of me. “You are my Queen.”
