Cursed Fates (Zodiac Academy, #5)

by Caroline Peckham

We had time stretching out before us, years and years and years.

This makes my heart feel so full

she wanted me to take her body hostage and make her forget the asshole who had said no to her. And I wasn’t going to disappoint.

Little do you know its darius

“Don’t ever let go of her, Lance. You fucking fight for her until your last breath, you hear me?”

Ugh i love darius for this

A dangerous growl slid from Darius’s throat. “He won’t bother you anymore.”

LFG!!!!!!!!

“Blood for blood for blood.”

Are there going to be side effects for saving lance

“So big and strong, like your daddy.”

Ewwww

“They have the shadows too,” Clara pointed out casually and my heart dropped as she revealed the secret we’d been guarding like it was nothing at all.

Clara you suck

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.

Ugh my heart

shaking my arm like she wanted me to realise what I’d done. But I already had realised. And it was too late to change it even if I wanted to.

Tory i get it but atthe sametine you are soooo stubborn

“Well, he wanted to break me. So, I guess he got his wish.”

Ugh tgis kills me

With him, we had a line to Lionel. He was our very own shadow spy, a chance to get ahead of our enemies.

Okay but this could go south sooo fast

“Lance is off limits,” I snarled. “Which means the girl he loves is off limits too.”

LFG!!!!!!!!

I am a Solarian Princess with a bucketload of power in my veins. The Nymphs should be afraid. Definitely not the other way around. Definitely, definitely.

“You two are…well, fuck the law for saying you can’t be together,” Darius said, folding his arms.

Ugh i love this

“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.”

Im starting to love their "friendship" and my heart aches for him

“Yeah? Well maybe the stars can get fucked then,” he said fiercely, his navy eyes burning.

Hes not wrong

“That’s enough. I don’t care whose fault it was or how many chances we had not to end up here. We are here. That’s the end of it. So, fuck fate. Fuck the stars. Fuck destiny. Fuck Darius Acrux. And fuck you.”

I love you tor buuut gabriel is sooo right

“I wish he could have done enough to win your love, Roxanya.”

Aww im crying

#ToryVegaishotterthanyou

DYING

Darius Acrux: @Margurite Helebor, I wouldn’t fuck you again if you were the last Fae in Solaria and my dick would fall off if I didn’t. Don’t talk shit about my Mate. One more word and I’ll destroy you #trymebitch

Ahhhhhh yesssss im unwell

“You are a big seabass, aren’t you, Maxy?”

Lowkey cringe

I met Orion’s gaze, his eyes brimming with pride. I loved him fiercely in that moment. Truly. Madly. Always.

Tory caught my hand, and I lifted her arm into the air on instinct. “We’re going to fight for our throne!” she cried.

Yessssss

Fuck, I didn’t realise I had a Prince Charming fantasy until right now.

Hahaha we all do deep down

“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.”

AHHHHH LFG!!!!!!!!

“Yeah. I could come just thinking about you,” he agreed. “And I do pretty frequently.”

Ahhhhhhhh!!! FERAL

I laughed along with them as we rolled on the ground and for a moment I felt light and free and just…happy.

ugh I love this for her

Screw the stars. Screw fate. Screw every fucked-up thing that led me here, chewed me up and spat me out. Screw the throne and the Council and this academy. Screw being a fucking Vega.

I’d been tempted to drink myself into a stupor. But there was one unmistakable thing stopping me from opening that bottle. Blue.

Aww my heart

The thought that she was temporary made me afraid. Because who I’d been before didn’t come close to deserving her. And at least now I was trying to be better. To be enough. But sometimes, the shadows called to me in the dark, whispering my sins, my failures. And maybe deep down, I was never going to feel worthy of her.

Stooop

I’d marry him myself if that was what it took to keep him from ending up with the Ogre.

Im dead

“I just don’t want you to get hurt,” he growled in a low voice that sent a shiver dancing down my spine.

Ahhhhhh

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.

Im unwell

“So proud I could burst,” Father replied, his eyes dead, his smile still intact.

EWWWW STOP NO JAIL

Don’t ever let your enemies see you have a heart.

“We were made for each other, Roxy,” Darius growled, tipping my chin to bring my gaze back up to his.

“I know I don’t deserve you, Roxy. But I don’t think I can give you up even though I know that’s true,” Darius breathed against my lips and a tear slid down my cheek.

Crying

“It’s too late for that,” I murmured, the painful truth of that consuming me for a moment.

Nooo i dont believe that

“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.”

Im unwell

“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.

Stooooop im crying

“Cheerleaders sometimes support a certain player on the field,” Darius said as he pushed his hand into his pocket and took out a navy ribbon with the word Fireshield on it. “Will you cheer for me today, Roxy?”

Ahhhhhh

“I’m going to look after you,” I growled, leaving no room for negotiation. “So just let me.”

Ahhhh

some people are toxic. And if you keep them in your life, they’ll poison everything good in your world until you end up being just like them.

THIS

“I love you, Roxy,” he said in a rough, dark voice which held no room for lies or falsehood, no space for tricks of cruelty. Only the truth.

Crying

“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.”

A merciless laugh escaped him. “That’s my girl.”

Ahhhhh yesssss i loove this

“Four hundred and three kisses-”

“You counted the kisses?” Lance blanched.

“One hundred and sixteen pecks to the lips. Eighty-four kisses to the lips with tongue. Thirty-seven to her left breast, ...

“By the stars, is that really necessary?”...
