Kindle Notes & Highlights
This isn’t it. I won’t let him go. I’ll follow him beyond The Veil. I’ll climb into the stars and drag his soul back out of them if I have to. This. Is. Not. It.
“You smell like her,”
The way this breaks my heart should be illegal
“I need to focus on Lance. Not impossible ideas about defying the stars,”
“Tory,” he sighed, the first time I’d ever heard him call her anything other than Roxy. “She fucking said no, Lance.” He fell against me,
My heart is breaking
“Don’t ever let go of her, Lance. You fucking fight for her until your last breath, you hear me?”
Everything in me had driven me at her for love, but I’d let his poison twist it into hate. For what? Power.
What was the point in power if I was alone with it? It wouldn’t keep me warm at night. It wouldn’t give me a damn thing that I actually wanted. My whole life I’d felt alone in so many ways. And so had she. But instead of coming together, we’d just pushed ourselves apart until-
She locked eyes with the demon lurking within my soul and knew she’d be better off away from me than bound to it.”
And now she had three boys running around her ankles, waiting to see if they’d turn into Storm Dragons too when their Orders Emerged.
Bahaha wait and see
But what other choice did I have? I’d offered her the world, but I’d waited too long to do it. So now I had to face the consequences of that and live with the fact that this was all my fault. And there wasn’t a thing I could do to change it.
</3
“It was me,” I said, shaking my head. “He wanted it. Wanted me. Wanted to own me and keep me and have this hold on me for the rest of my life.”
Aghtdfrsdggg Toryyyyyy WHYYYY
“Love?” I scoffed. “Who has ever loved me? Look at all the things he’s done to me. That isn’t love. It’s hate.”
Agggggg
“It was forever. All or nothing. Saying yes meant letting him own me. It meant I’d have to love him no matter what he did to me. What if he was just as cruel to me in love as he’d been in hate?”
You are killing me Tor agggh this is not how that bond works :'(
But I already had realised. And it was too late to change it even if I wanted to.
Ahggg
I hadn’t wanted to hurt him. I’d just wanted to be free. Free of fate or destiny or the stars. Free to choose my own life and live it how I wanted, not how I was told to.
“Well, he wanted to break me. So, I guess he got his wish.”
Oh nooo you did this Tor
But I did kinda envy her for her freedom. She was so unashamedly herself at all times.
I couldn’t breathe, couldn’t think, and absolutely couldn’t tear my eyes away from the sight of him standing there looking so broken.
Whyyyyyyyy D":
This was my choice. Mine. It shouldn’t have hurt this much to follow my heart. And that was what I’d thought I was doing. But if that was the case then why did it feel like I was being torn to bits from the inside out?
Because you were following your fears you stubborn queen
“I promised you a friendship bracelet,” I teased. “We can get together for a slumber party another time though.”
Asshole that he was, I couldn’t help but love him for being a teensy bit psycho. His idea of fun came with a sadistic little twist. And I was hot for it.
Aren't we all
But were the stars really so cruel that she should be punished for the rest of her life because she hadn’t chosen to mate with a guy who’d hurt her in unspeakable ways?
“If you try to fuck me over, kid, I’ll break every bone in your body. And if you try to fuck over the Vegas, I’ll rip out said broken bones one by one, put them in a blender and feed them to you through a straw. I know some nasty fucking spells that will make sure you stay alive through the entire thing. Mark. My. Words.”
Damn Orio you savage
Once Darren had fucked off,
Darius calling Diego every name with D in history its freaking hilarious
“Hate dances a fine line with love more often than not. Fix it, Darius. Then if I really can find a way to give you another chance at fate, you’ll both be ready to make a different choice.”
*sobbing*
It was long enough for me to stop crying myself to sleep, though I still woke up with tears on my cheeks.
“I didn’t say a single one of those words,” he growled,
Hell yes! This is how you handle shit
“Don’t call me Gabe,” Gabriel snapped.
Awww how i miss my Leo u-u
when it comes down to it, Maxy boy, you have been measured and you have been found wanting.
Grus you are a beast *_* and I love it
“Don’t goad the stars.” I jabbed him in the shoulder. “They’ll take it as a challenge.”
I wasn’t exactly winning the best gift of the year award. No, Fran had secured that alright.
Careful Blue, your 19yo is showing xD
“So, I can be bad so long as I’m being bad with you?” I teased. “Exactly.” He grinned, lunging toward me, and throwing me over his shoulder.
I am a Solarian Princess with a bucketload of power in my veins.
“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.”
escape reality didn’t appeal so much anymore. Maybe it was because reality was too loud these days, screaming in my ears and forcing me to pay attention.
Same Xavier, same.
But every extra minute I spent after my shower, staring at the shining silver horn that adorned my head, my chin lifted a little higher. And my soul burned a little brighter. I was a Pegasus. A big ass stallion of a Pegasus. And I was proud to be one.
Damn right you are <3
I hoped to get that chance. But chances weren’t made by the stars alone. I needed to make my own opportunities,
I’d stopped trying to win his love a long time ago, but some part of me would never truly heal from the hurt of being nothing but a burden to my own father.
</3
“Yeah? Well maybe the stars can get fucked then,” he said fiercely, his navy eyes burning. “They might be able to put rings in your eyes, but they don’t get to force you to be miserable.”
So take a deep breath and suck it up, sweetheart. Because the girl who came back swinging at us after she nearly drowned in that pool doesn’t let anyone tell her what to do. Not even destiny.”
As he dove towards the tower roof, I threw all of my power into my air magic, creating a powerful updraft beneath him and sending him catapulting up into the clouds again.
I’m sorry but what? No one can surprise Gabe 👀 why is he letting her win?
He was the kind of friend who would stand up to my bullshit, bristle in response to my resting bitch face, call me out on my own crap, push me off a roof when I cheated him and have my back to the brutal, bitter end. Ride or die. In short, the best kind of friend there was. Which considering the short time I’d known him seemed insane, but I just knew it was the case.
Aww that’s Gabe for you 🖤
“Wars have hinged on less. Fate is a fickle and temperamental beast.”
“But you slammed the door in his face and told him nothing had changed,” Gabriel said sadly like knowing I’d done that hurt him too. “And you told him you still hated him.”
That’s the end of it. So, fuck fate. Fuck the stars. Fuck destiny. Fuck Darius Acrux. And fuck you.”
Don’t talk shit about my Mate.
I think i judt combusted
“You mean…that for no reason other than the pursuit of true and honest love, you wish to fix what cannot be fixed and defy the stars themselves?”
Well she is gone hahha
the Basilisks’ Cobras,
Nop sorry, it's a Snakelet
Well, it’s difficult not to get distracted. I’ve got my eye on a beautiful Cardinal Magic hardback with a leather bookmark pushed between its supple pages. Is it cheating if I stick the tip in?
Bahahaha
Lance: Couldn’t do it, Blue. You’re the only first edition I want.
Book girlies swooning alert :$
