Kindle Notes & Highlights
“He has no one else?” The woman shook her head sadly. Her heart broke. Everyone should have a family. Zephyr jumped down from the bed, her side hurting a bit, and wobbled over to the older woman, extending her pinkie out. “I can be there for him. I promise. What’s his name?” The woman laughed again, a tear trailing down her face, and hooked her rough pinkie with Zephyr’s. “You’re a sweet child.” Zephyr nodded. She liked being sweet. “His name?” she asked, stuck on the boy who didn't have a family. “Alessandro. Alessandro Villanova. Alpha.”
"What's a little rainbow like you doing in a shithole like this?" he murmured as he inhaled the side of her neck, so softly she felt his words more than heard them. She knew she had a colorful personality, but she'd never been called a rainbow before, and the way he said it was nice, really nice.
He was her love at first meeting. And she didn’t know who he was now, but he was hers. He’d always been hers.
That was exactly who she wanted. “You’re a twisted beast. I’m a twisted beauty. We’re totally meant to be, handsome. It's written in the fairytales.”
“I don’t know how, rainbow,” he murmured softly, “and I don’t know what secrets of mine you have, but I want them all. You’ve sealed your fate now. Welcome to my hell.”
She’d break down his defenses, one hug at a time.

"And in the end, we were all humans, drunk on the idea that love, only love, could heal our brokenness."
"I want to eat your smile, sunshine," he said against her mouth. "Swallow it whole and light up my insides with it."
"My sunshine. Lighting me up from the insides."
“I might not remember you,” he whispered, his lips almost at hers. “But you’re my wife now. Mine. And I’d bathe this whole city in blood before I let you change that.”
“I didn’t realize how much I missed your touch. You gave a starved man a feast every day until he forgot what hunger felt like, and then took it away.”
"Don't leave me again, rainbow," he spoke quietly in the space between them. "I don't know if I'll ever remember anything. I don't know if what I feel is love. I don't know what the future holds. But I know I want you by my side. I know I don't want to forget you now."
