Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Well, aren’t you an observant little shrew.” “Less of the shrew,” I said, pursing my lips. “Can’t call you Gwen, can’t call you shrew…”
“You two are…well, fuck the law for saying you can’t be together,” Darius said, folding his arms. My heart squeezed at his words, and I saw so much pain in his eyes that I strode forward and wrapped my arms around him.
“Fuck the stars too, Darius,” I breathed, and his muscles tightened around me as he held me close. “Fuck every shining, gleaming one of them.”
“Roxy said no to me,” he said in a low voice which cut Marguerite short. “Not the other way around. And I’m pretty sure I told you not to talk shit about her once already.”
I’d marry him myself if that was what it took to keep him from ending up with the Ogre. I could at least have had some compassion for her if she’d had a half-decent personality. But she was vulgar and arrogant, her bulky form just an extension of her big head.
Because his bed didn’t feel the same without him in it. And for the first time that I would admit to myself, I had to wonder if I’d made a terrible mistake when I said no.
Each touch took me by surprise as the two of them moved their hands over my body and my uneven breathing was met with theirs as I shoved Darius’s shirt from his shoulders.
Gah damn
“You can’t tell me you don’t feel that when we’re together. The way my heart pounds, my soul burns, my whole body aches…I know you feel it too,”
“I’ll toss Mildred back in her room, heal her and cast a sleeping spell on her so that she can properly recover,” Cal announced as he moved around us, and I couldn’t help but smile at him. It might have annoyed the fuck out of me that he’d been with my girl, but he really was a good friend. A true brother.
Yep, it’s official. I’m into my straight best friend. Thanks for the headfuck stars.
“Professor Lance Orion, you are hereby detained by the Court of Solaria for fraternising with a student who is none other than a Princess of Solaria.”
NOOOOOOO
“I deserved it, Roxy. And I’m sorry. Really, truly sorry for all of it. I know that doesn’t matter now and I know there’s nothing I can do to change this, but I need you to know it. I need you to feel it.”
“And I know it doesn’t change anything. That it can’t change anything,” he growled. “But I’m going to prove it to you. I’m going to do everything I can to make it up to you, for the rest of my life if that’s what it takes. I’ll never forgive myself for bringing this curse on us. And I’m never going to stop loving you either.”
I could have said a thousand bad things about Darius Acrux, but the best ones shone brighter, outweighing them so they were all I could see.
I reached up to lay my palm on his jaw too, my other hand landing on his arm. “Darius,” I murmured, unsure what I was even going to say just as thunder crashed in the sky above. “I miss you too,” he interrupted. “More than any words could ever convey.”
Seth moved forward, closing the distance between us and capturing my chin between his finger and thumb as he tilted my head to look up at him. “There’s one more thing I should have realised. You could never be my mate, Darcy Vega. Because we’re not equals. You’re far better than me in every way imaginable.”
Gabriel’s grip on my hand was so tight that it was bruising, and I could feel a tremor running through his limbs as he finally found out who he was. His mother was our mother. He was our blood. Our brother.
“Then we make an oath. Right here. That we’ll find the Imperial Star before he does. It’s the only chance we have against him.” I held out my hand, wondering if they’d really do this, but they all moved forward without hesitation, laying their hands over mine. “I vow on the stars that we’ll find the Imperial Star before Lionel does,” I breathed. “No matter what it takes.” They all spoke in unison, a clap of magic binding all five of us together in a star-bound promise that echoed through the universe. “No matter what it takes.”
