Kindle Notes & Highlights
If we could only expose him for using dark magic and harbouring the shadows then maybe my efforts would be worthwhile, but doing that could possibly mean dragging Darius, Tory, Xavier, and Orion down with them, which I was never going to risk.
“Hands off, Lion. I already called dibs.” “Didn’t realise I was building a harem,” I said dryly, returning to my breakfast.
“What do you call a harem with four swords and no scabbard?” “What?” Ethan narrowed his eyes at him. “Boring.”
She was becoming the queen she was always meant to be. It was just hard to accept that I was never going to be her king.
“The future is just a roulette wheel, Darcy. Only every outcome is grey.” “That doesn’t sound so good,” I murmured. “It is good, and bad. That’s life. I guess that’s one thing The Sight makes me see clearer than anything else. It’s all about the choices you make, the actions you take. Cause and effect. If you do nothing, nothing will happen. If you do everything, everything will happen.”
“Why are you smirking?” I narrowed my eyes at him, and he shrugged innocently. “This is just my normal face,” he said, trying to flatten his smirk and failing. “No, your normal face suggests you’re deciding whether or not to eat the Fae in front of you,” I pointed out. “You only smirk when you’ve decided you’re actually going to do it.” He released a low laugh. “Maybe I’m hungry.”
“You look like a queen, Darcy. I’m looking forward to the coronation.”
if you ever shove my sister like that again I’ll rip one of your arms off.” He said it so calmly, but the darkness in his eyes said he’d absolutely do it. Aw, I love my psycho big brother.
the palace has locked itself to him?” I asked, my mood lifting at the thought of that. “In part,” she replied. “For now.”
Well, as much as I like brunettes, I’m currently hooked on one who needs us to chase her into a cage and drug her, so shall we get on with that?”
Lionel had better enjoy his time on the throne while it lasted, because the true queens would soon be coming to take it back.
“Fuck, Tory, why do you always go for the balls?” he groaned, cupping his crotch with his eyes half closed against the pain. “You’re lucky I left them attached to your body,”
“We’re all at least a little fucked up, Tory,” he said roughly. “But the people who love us don’t give a shit about that. Better still – they love us even more for it.” My gaze snagged on the friendship bracelet I’d made for him all those months ago and my heart felt full as I smiled at him. “I missed you, asshole,” I said in a low voice. “Missed you too, savage.”
I guessed sometimes you had to watch your walls crack and crumble so you could figure out how to build a better kingdom.
I wish I could hate you, but I feel something far worse than that. A love that won’t die for the man who broke me.
“Now or never, Darius, jump on the bitch seat or stay here to get caught by the cops.” “Why do I get the feeling you seriously would just ride off and leave my ass here?” I asked irritably. “Because I would,” she replied simply,
when Orion had thrown me face first into a window, I’d had an inkling he wasn’t over Darcy.
I was going to get her back together with the love of her life and make Lance Orion my bestie in the process. Like, not at first. Man, he was going to fucking hate me. But long term, he was a bestie to be. Either that or I really was going to end up strangled by my own intestines.
we need to add some of Catalina’s blood to the fire on the bed then get the fuck out of here,” Gabriel said. “Lionel will think Christopher accidentally killed her in the throes of passion and he’ll be sent to Darkmore for her murder. I’m gonna fly her out of here and he’ll be none the wiser.”
“Where did you get that stardust from anyway?” “Totally stole it from Darius. He’s way too easy to pickpocket for someone who believes he’s all powerful.”
“I’m coming whether you like it or not,” I growled, and a crease formed between his eyes. “Isn’t that what you said to me last night, babe?” Seth joked
“I’m a Phoenix who can destroy Nymphs, who has four Elements, who’s fought the shadows and won. And I will not be told no by anyone, Lance Orion.”
I woke up to reality. And real life isn’t nice or easy, it’s fucking quicksand that tries to drag you down the more you fight it. Love doesn’t conquer all this time, because we’re on two different paths. You’re heading to the stars, beautiful, and I’m staying down here in the dirt. That’s just the way it is.” “It didn’t have to be,” I hissed, hating him, loving him.
The shattered pieces of my heart sat like broken glass against my tongue, and the longer I kissed him, the more those pieces seemed to draw back together.
“Good golly lobsters,” Geraldine sighed and for once I knew exactly what she fucking meant.
as faculty I am absolutely not allowed to be involved. So of course, I have involved myself up to the neck and am working hard to see who may make suitable recruits.”
“It’s you, dumbass,” Roxy snapped, shoving me again and making me growl even louder. Why the fuck did she think it was a good idea to bait the beast in me when I was ready to- “It’s only you. Even though it can’t be, it fucking is.”
“How dare you disrespect me in my own classroom?” she hissed, and I tucked my Atlas into my pocket. “I don’t need to disrespect you, miss, you manage that all on your own,” I said lightly, poking the beast.
“She’s coming back!” Miguel shouted from the doorway; one side of his face burned as he stared in at us. It was the most emotion I’d ever seen on his face, panic, desperation, and a glint of a soul that had been absent from his eyes up until now. I didn’t understand it and there was no time to either.
“Lance!” she cried, her voice throaty and more real than it had sounded before. “Get away! Run!” she begged. “I can’t hold her off much longer.”
“Maybe I just like the way it feels when you bite me and I’m really just a selfish motherfucker, using the excuse to get your mouth on my skin.” He delivered it like a joke, but it fell flat somehow, and my gaze shifted down his bare chest slowly before I met his eyes again. “Maybe you don’t need an excuse,” I said carefully. “Maybe if that’s what you want you should just say it.”
