Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’m the Wolf of Mounts Bay, and I can survive anything.
Fucking rich dicks.
“I wouldn't fuck you if you were the only rich dick left in this building. I wouldn't touch your disgusting cock for a million dollars.”
What’s the worst that can happen to me there? A lot of things, but how many of those could actually break me? Very little. I feel like no matter what I choose, I'm going to get burned.
He blows out a breath like he’s frustrated. I don’t think he’s ever really known that emotion.
I could have Joey taken out of my life as permanently as I wanted. It amuses me that Ash and Harley warn me about him. If only they knew who I really was.
I don’t need another rich kid hating on me. I need to learn to shut my mouth and keep my head down. I need to stop feeling all these emotions for gorgeous rich boys.
I know exactly what it means to look into the soul of a killer.
I wasn’t wrong. He doesn’t break me. But fuck it if I don’t bend a little.
Everything that is destroying the little scraps that remain of my soul slips away and, instead, I open the box in my mind, and I let my senses out to play. I’d honed these senses for two years under the watchful eye of the Jackal. I’d learned how to walk in and out of a building without a single eye touching me. I’d learned how to endure extreme, bone-shattering pain without screaming out. I’d learned how to kill a man. I’d left all this behind me when I’d arrived at Hannaford, but now I let it all out.
He looks at me like he’s let a monster into his school. He has.
There are things I know better than most about myself and the ways of the world. A night of no sleep won’t kill me. A week without food won’t kill me. Finding my mother's dead body rotting on my kitchen floor won’t kill me. A bullet to the shoulder won’t kill me. The bullying at Hannaford Prep won’t kill me.
I snort at myself. I’ve just watched him pummel another student to the point the kid had to be intubated before he was scraped off the chapel floor by the EMT’s, and yet, that had proved to me that I had nothing to be afraid of. Funny old world.
I wish so much that we had met under different circumstances and we could be friends. The fierce, protective nature of him draws me in like nothing else. I want him, but I want to be in his circle more.
When he touches me, I don’t want oxygen? I just want to consume him.
“This isn’t payment, it’s a white flag. And an olive branch. I want to be your friend.”
