DANTE???
He didn’t care that he made Dante Oscura father children he’d never see with a woman who wasn’t his wife,
OMFG
“He was falling in love with you and you ripped his heart out,” Gabriel said quietly. “There is no greater pain in this world than that. Believe me. I know. I’ve lived it.”
“He told you. You just didn’t want to hear it,” Gabriel interrupted.
THANK U GABRIEL. SOMEONE NEEDED TO SAY IT
I met Orion’s gaze, his eyes brimming with pride. I loved him fiercely in that moment. Truly. Madly. Always.
“The stars might have decided that you can never be mine,” Darius said roughly, refusing to move away from me. “But I am yours. No matter what. I don’t care where we end up or who we’re with, I’ll always be yours. And I’m going to fix the damage I did to us even if the stars don’t care. I’m going to prove to you that I could have been worthy of you if I’d just listened to my heart sooner.”
“It won’t change anything,” I said, my voice cracking as I bit down on my bottom lip and tried to force the tears to stop. “If it changes the way you look at me then that’s enough,” he replied, his eyes full of pain as I took a step back.
Roxy Vega might never be mine, but sometimes I found I didn’t mind pining for her as much as I should have.
I’d never had that all-consuming first love everyone talked about during my school years. I’d thought it wasn’t for me. But I guessed the stars had decided to keep me waiting a little longer. And now I had it, I was determined for this love to be my one and only. My last and everlasting.
“I love you, Roxy,”
“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 felt a cracking in my soul that spoke of the promise we’d made on the stars together. To always fight to be together. He’d broken it. And he’d broken me in the process.
Tory moved to walk beside me, wordless as she realised where I was headed and suddenly Darius, Caleb and Max materialised too like they were drawn magnetically to Seth’s side.
FOUND FAMILY
“As much as I ache for the feeling of your body against mine – and I really fucking do – I think if I was allowed a single cheat against this curse that keeps us apart, I’d just want to be able to hold you in my arms,” he replied. “Just to wake up with you there, knowing you were safe.”
Three fucking months. And not a single day went by where I didn’t think about her. Though I tried. I fought it like the moon battling the pull of the earth so it could remain in the heavy nothingness of the sky. But it was always hardest in the very first moments of the morning, laying in my bunk with the world pressing down on my chest so hard that it felt impossible to breathe.
“I need you to get Darcy out of here,” I demanded. “If you meant all the things you said to me, if you feel any of it at all, you’ll make sure she’s safe.” “Don’t do this,” he begged and my heart twisted with agony as I felt the pain I was causing him by giving in to his father. I leaned forward, closing the distance between us and the brush of his lips against mine was an agony unlike anything I’d ever known, because I knew what it was. What it had to be. It was goodbye.
“We won’t,” Darius agreed fiercely. “I’ll tear the world down for her, but we can’t win tonight.”
“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.”
