Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Oh, you think I was the only one keeping an eye on you? The boy was always there. He caught me a few times, didn’t you, Tristan?”
“I knew what he’d done to protect you once,”
“And I knew, with the way he kept his eye on you through the years, that he would protect you again when the time came.”
“The time for...

“Justice.”
“The men in this world don’t love like normal men, little doe. Their love is more intense than any other. He fell in love with you as a boy and as a man. And watching it happen has been the only peace I have found in years, knowing you will be loved
and cherished and protected after I’m gone. I needed to give you that.”
“To tell you that for the last few years, I have dismantled your business. To tell you that I have been planning this for over twenty years. You are true evil, Lorenzo. And you don’t deserve to live.”
“That’s for Elaina,” her father stated, his voice cold. “That’s for killing my love and my baby, for taking away my little girl, Lorenzo.”
“This is your justice,” her father went on, bleeding out. “You bleed to death while your son watches without remorse. That’s what you’ve created.”
“You are exactly where you were supposed to be,”
“Who am I?” “Mine.”
“You might have been born with another name but you are Morana. My Morana. You’re the girl I killed for and you’re the woman I’d die for. You are mine and you are exactly where you’re supposed to be. Don’t ever question that again, do you understand?”
“Don’t hate me again.”
“Do you know why I enjoy holding you like this?”
“I can feel your life under my hand,”
“Your body, your life, your heart –

“To the Alliance,” he raised the toast. “To finding the missing girls,” Tristan matched. “To the future,” Morana clinked glasses, looking both men in the eyes. They were her family now. And they had a long road ahead of them.
She unmanned him, this little woman with the soul of a warrior.
“I have something for you.”
“It better not be sex because I will kill you, Tristan. You come anywhere near my pussy for a week and I will murder you.”
“I didn’t hear you complaining last night.” “I did,”
Last night had been a party to officially announce Morana and him taking over the Shadow Port mafia business. With the death of both the leaders last week, things had been a little turbulent, to say the least.
Some days, he felt like he would explode with the emotions she pulled from his once-dead heart.
“I’m cynical, Morana,”
“I don’t believe in marriages. I don’t believe in men who wear their rings with their wives only to take it off later. But I believe in loyalty. I believe in commitment.”
“I can’t marry you,” he told her, “not until I fulfill the promise I made to my sister.”
“But I never, ever want you to not walk into a room and know that every part of me, fucked up man and the lost boy, belong to you.”
