Kindle Notes & Highlights
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.
“Your celibacy is wasted, boss. It was an accident.” An accident where he’d fractured a woman’s hip because he’d been too rough.
You’re fooling yourself if you think I’m anything but a beast under this skin.” Zephyr raised her wine glass to him. “Then the world needs more beasts like you.”
Bandit—who had succeeded in finding one of her favorite bras and making it his toy—was moody and came to her when he wanted.
Alec frozen in his seat, the knife under the wrist of his hand that had touched her hair, the edge of the blade pressing on it until she could see a line of blood break the skin. “It’s going to be your neck the next time I see you near my wife,” Alpha growled softly. “Are we clear?”
“I miss you, rainbow.”
“Talk to me, please.”
“I’m sorry,” he whispered into her neck.
“Talk to me, rainbow,” he murmured against her ear. “Please.”
“I don’t know how I lost my eye,” he began quietly. “My memory around that time… it's blank. I don’t remember
if it was an accident or someone trying to kill me. It could have been either. I don’t remember a lot from that part.”
“You were a part of my memories, weren’t you?” he asked softly,
“Yeah.” She hated the way her voice cracked.
For ten years, I didn’t know. I wondered if you’d died, if you’d abandoned me, or if you'd simply lost interest.”
“I cut the hand of a man who touched your hair, Zephyr. What do you think I’m going to do to the one you move on with?”
“My life has been nothing but gray for as long as I remember,” he told her softly. “Rainstorms and thunder clouds that never went away. You filtered through that, all bright colors and exuberance and life. And the clouds are still there, but my eyes can’t leave the rainbow long enough to see them. You changed things. And I’m not letting that go, Zephyr. I’m not letting you go. Get that out of your head right now.”
"You cannot save people, you can only love them."
“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.”
“You don’t remember, but this killer is the same man one who took your eye years ago.”
His ugly was her beautiful.
"Remember when I told you my heart was a dead scar tissue?" "Hmm." "I feel it pumping again with you. My lifeblood. My little rainbow."
"Yo, Zee." Hector. Alpha's most trusted man. It was him.
Zephyr knew he was the killer they’ve been looking for, he was the man who had tortured and blinded her husband. Hector.
“You should’ve sought me out sooner. I would’ve led you to him.”
Everything crashed on him, and there, holding her hand while she slept, he cried in a hospital after twenty years.
