Kindle Notes & Highlights
My gaze narrowed on it. Why hadn’t he just healed it away? Did he even know it was there? When had she given him that? Was it last night when she went to him? Had they even slept at all? Were they literally in the middle of it when we were trying to call him? Had she had her mouth on his neck just a few moments ago?
Geraldine’s side of the crowd went crazy, but as I looked to the Heirs, I saw something in their eyes I never thought I’d seen in them before. Fear. Darius’s gaze shifted between us, and laughter built in my throat. If we really were impervious to fire, he couldn’t use it against us. And as a Dragon Shifter, that had to suck.
“Agent Sky came up with the idea to cut its fingers off before cauterising the stumps. No probes! It’s completely disarmed and primed for a safe interrogation.” “That’s...wow. So, you think you’ll be able to get some answers out of it then? Locations, numbers, plots?”
“It won’t be the same,” Caleb growled, pulling the pillow over his face. “She’s so fucking hot. She keeps surprising me, and it makes me so hard I can’t-” “Shut the fuck up about it,” Darius snapped, pushing himself out of his seat. “Keep screwing her or don’t. I don’t wanna fucking listen to any more talk about her or her damn sister.”
Caleb’s hand moved to my face in the dark and I flinched a little at the unexpected touch. He trailed his fingers down my jaw, tipping my chin to the side slowly, exposing my neck to him. My heart was still pounding but the fear was slipping into a thrill, excitement buzzing through my veins. I was toying with a monster, and I might have actually wanted him to bite me for once. I needed it. A release to this tension coiling between us.
He grunted, tugging his fangs free, but not removing his arm where it was locked around my waist. He moved his face close to mine, his teeth bared, making real fear push into my veins. In that moment, he was a wild animal and running from him was impossible. We were stuck together for the next twenty minutes, and I knew for a fact he’d done this on purpose. He waved his hand to cast a bubble of silence around us and anger pierced my chest.
Slowly, I shook my head and his posture relaxed as if I’d told him the world wasn’t going to end. “But maybe we should be. Part of me doesn’t want this to be done, but you hurt me.” “You hurt me first.” His jaw locked tight, and I shook my head at him. “What I did was not on the same level.” I glanced away.
“I thought you were different,” he said slowly. “But you’re just like your whore of a sister, pining after bastardos who treat you like dirt and who only give you a second look because you’d drop onto your knees for them any time they liked. Es patético.” He turned his back on me and walked away into the crowd, seeming to trample on my heart as he left.
Y tu eres pendejo 😡 Like your a literal piece of shit because you couldn’t ask any of the girls you like out✨ why you may ask because you don’t have any confidence and eres un pendejo😡✨
By the way I’m mad at a fictional character 😂
Darius looked like he was fighting hard not to add anything on the subject, and I decided against baiting him on it. If he’d wanted a shot at Tory, then I wasn’t what was standing in his way; he was the one who had made her hate him like she did. And if he had some other reason to object to what I chose to do then it was up to him to say it to me or not.
“I just want someone to make my heart beat faster,” she said in a low voice that had me drawing closer to her as I looked into her dark eyes. “To challenge me and make me laugh and push back against my bullshit. I want to be forced out of my comfort zone and I want to feel excited, exhilarated, afraid. But not just because you’re an asshole. Because I want to feel alive.”
My fingers flexed with the desire to pull my Atlas out again. I could settle on some kind of reply to send her at least. One which didn’t involve me showing up at her door like I expected...what exactly? For her to have suddenly forgotten she hates me? Or maybe to ask her who the moon was pushing her towards tonight. Because I’d known before the sun rose this morning exactly where it would be pushing me. I just couldn’t tell if she’d fall under its spell for me too.
She wasn’t just a girl though. Not to me. She was the one girl I shouldn’t want, the one I couldn’t have, the one I didn’t need. And yet I did. And everything in my life could be damaged so badly by that need that I’d fought it tooth and claw up until this point.
