Shadow Princess (Zodiac Academy, #4)

by Caroline Peckham

“Forget this conversation,” Lionel growled, his voice thick with Dark Coercion as shadows danced before his eyes and spilled between his fingers. “And start showing me a bit more respect among company.” Phoenix fire ran hot beneath my skin as it burned through the pull of his commands, and I scowled at him as he walked away from me with a swagger to his step like he thought he was the king of the fucking world. Just as Lionel reached the door, he turned back to look at me with a cruel smile twisting his handsome face. “Oh, and feel free to break my son’s heart the next time he comes looking to crawl between your thighs,” he added, shadows coating his words again as he tried to compel me to fall to his will. “I was going to command him to stop chasing you, but I think this might just be better. When you cut him open and make his wretched heart bleed for you, his hatred will only grow stronger. And when it comes time for us to destroy you and your sister once and for all, he’ll be only too willing to play his part.”

IF YOU DONT TELL HIM ABOUT THIS IM GOING TO BE SOO FUCKING PISSED OFF
