“The lovely decorations are courtesy of the Dead Bones Clan.”
“They used to live all across Solis, especially where the Blood Forest is now, but they’ve since relocated to these woods and hills over the past several decades.”
“In that moment, he saw me as a challenge.” He paused. “A threat.” “To who? Him?” “You.” My heart turned over heavily. “That doesn’t make sense.” Kieran folded his arms over his broad chest. “Under the right or, I suppose extreme circumstances, those of his kind can become quite possessive.”
That’s hot
“It doesn’t have to,” Kieran said. “But even so, sometimes, the heartbreak that comes with loving
someone is worth it, even if loving that person means eventually saying goodbye to them.”
“They find the idea of feeding from someone else repellent. It’s too intimate for them to even consider. And if the partner is mortal? It usually takes the mortal proving to the other that it’s okay for them to feed, and in some cases, the Atlantian is lost to the darkness of hunger. That’s why he hasn’t fed.”
“Cas told me once that he felt as if he already knew you after speaking with you just a few times.”
“I think you’re heartmates.”
So lame but so cute at the same time
“I’m going to offer myself up…for dinner basically. To Casteel,” I tacked on. “As dinner?” “Basically.” I peeked at Kieran, and I could tell he was trying not to laugh.
“I’ve seen eight hundred years.” Good gods.
“And the reason I know his bonded wolven would’ve refused if asked?” Alastir stated. “It’s because I was his last, and it was I who alerted the Queen to what Malec had done, shattering an unbreakable oath.”
“Forcing a warrior to don a veil of submission was never going to last.”
“I do,” he insisted. “From the moment you stayed instead of walking out of that room at the Red Pearl, I knew you had a warrior’s strength and bravery. It’s why you went to Rylan’s funeral. It’s what drove you out to the Rise when the Craven attacked and fought back—fought me. It’s why you didn’t bow under Alastir’s remarks when you first met him but rather challenged his beliefs. Hell, it’s what drove you to learn how to fight in the first place.” A dimple appeared in his right cheek. “It’s your bloodline—it’s you.”
When his hardness pressed against the softest part of me, all I knew was that I had become the flames in my blood, something utterly unfamiliar to me, something daring and shameless. I was the fire, and Casteel was the air that fed it.
“This isn’t about me.” His hand drifted over my stomach, to where my skin was bared at the left hip. “Let me thank you the only way I can right now. Let me show you my gratitude.”
“It’s just you look…adorably confused, and now you look adorably violent.”
“Or is it because you don’t want to know that it’s taking everything in me not to ruin yet another pair of your pants by ripping them off and fucking you so hard that days from now, you’ll still be able to feel the extent of my gratitude.”
“Will be shocked and probably greatly annoyed that I have married someone they have never laid eyes on, not to mention someone who is only half-Atlantian and was once the Maiden,” Casteel interrupted. “But as soon as they get to know her, none of that will matter. They will come to love her as fiercely as I do.”
