Reborn (Shadow Beast Shifter, #3)

by Jaymin Eve

Couldn’t respect an alpha who allowed others to fight his battle.

He’d made a mistake in revoking the rejection because I was the fucking queen here, and I would sacrifice them all to learn my truth.

“Our demons match, Shadow. Our souls match. Come back to me.”

The magic in our souls had always been copacetic, taking every chance to mingle. It explained why our connection had been solid from almost the first meeting.

“You’re the match to my soul, Sunshine,” he rumbled through the power surrounding us. “You are my one. The only being I would destroy worlds for, and I’m afraid I did just that.”

He might not think the word “love” meant much, but he spoke a language of love without even realizing it.

I’d dreamed of this moment when all barriers would fall away. When we’d somehow find a place where we could exist together, just Shadow and Sunshine. Shadowshine.

I was so lost in my rage that it might have been a hundred years before I brought myself back. Too long for us to be apart.”

My beast has claimed you. I have claimed you. You belong to me, Sunshine.”

There are no limits when it comes to protecting what is mine. None at all. I have and would continue to destroy the foundation of existence if it meant one more day with you.”

I do worry that with our fates so entwined, if I fall, then so will you. I cannot live with that.”

“I don’t consider shit. You are my mate. Chosen and true. The bond between us would not exist otherwise and since both of us have two sides to our souls, it’s not even a far leap to understand how we’re bonded.”

the world was damn dark, and to have faith in something greater, even if it was mere flickers of hope filling that darkness, was worth a lot

tiring being a badass all the time. It’s nice to let others support you on occasion.”

Her life came about to match the new Shadow who would emerge from the flames of the wreckage of his last life.

“You were made for me,” he said in his deep brogue. “There’s no other, Sunshine. Not now, not ever.”

I loved him so much that I could feel it in my chest, like a tangible thing. A tangible thing that we had to protect no matter the cost.

this public claiming of his was far better than love words,

the way he spoke love without saying the words,

bonds were deeper than skin. They were a part of our souls,

I go where you go, Sunshine. Right or wrong, you and I exist together… or we don’t exist at all.”
