Fated Throne (Zodiac Academy, #6)

by Caroline Peckham

Someone who had made my heart beat a lot faster than the slow and steady rhythm it was maintaining now. My lips tingled with the memory of a touch I couldn’t place, the taste of something so much sweeter than I deserved...

Mildred’s hairy back, Mildred’s hairy back, Mildred’s hairy back.

“One of these days, I’ll rip you open and tear your intestines out,” I swore to him. “And then I’ll hang you up by them and let the crows finish the job.” Vard’s eyes glazed over with a vision and the way his face paled let me know that he’d just seen a path to a future where I made good on that promise. And I really hoped it came to pass.

“You’re mine where it counts, Darius. And I’m yours. Nothing can change that.”
