Kindle Notes & Highlights
Based on the magnificent size, I’d imagined that he’d been one of the rare kiyou wolves that sometimes roamed the Dark Elms surrounding the grounds of Wayfair Castle.
Nyktos?
There was no way he could know that in the two hundred years it had taken for me to be born, the knowledge of how to kill a Primal had been obtained. Love.
WHAT
“Show him what a hot piece you are,” she ordered, and Sir Holland cursed softly. “Show all the Lords of the Vodina Isles.”
Oh hell no
If I had a child, or if any descendant of mine had been harmed, I would burn through both realms
just so I could flay the skin from the body of the one who’d hurt them.
Girl you are gonna fuck isbeth up
“And you, liessa, are very brave.”
Omg the first leissq
You’re not a curse or anything like that. You carry the ember of life in you.
??
but I sometimes wondered if she had been talking about my gift.
What freaking gift
“The fuck?”
Same
“It has different meanings to different people.” The eather pulsed in his eyes, swirling once more through the silver. “But all of them mean something beautiful and powerful.”
Oooooo girl
“I know. That was…inappropriate of me.”
Its ok we will allow it
“Some call me Ash.”
What in the world? Is that why atlantians say from blood and ash?
I thought this because he’d never asked for a name.
He doesnt nwed it dumy
I’d never been gifted anything in my life.
Tf? Her mom is ASS
“No problem.” He started for the door and then stopped. “Everything will be okay, Sera. Get some rest.”
Hmmm a litle sus
“That what you just did is nothing short of a blessing.” She appeared as if she wished to shake me. “You’re a blessing, Sera. No matter what anyone says or believes, you are a blessing. You always have been. You need to know that.”
“Just like you should’ve been broken the night you failed the entire kingdom. But you’ll learn today.”
I hope nyktos FUCKS YOU UP TAVIUS
“I’m going to kill you.” I barely recognized the voice as mine. “I will slice the hands from your body and then carve your heart from your chest before setting it on fire. I will watch you burn.”
Holy shit is this nyktos
“I’m about to get my daily dose of entertainment.”
Im going to likke saion
“You should’ve thought about that before you picked up that whip,” the Primal growled. “And touched what is mine.”
I am so freaking here for this. Toych her and die vibes FINALY
“The rest of Iliseeum appears as it should,”
Weird
Leaves the color of blood.
Ooooo likr poppys blood trees
“Not fear. I can’t quite place it, but I can taste it. I can taste your emotions. Not all Primals can do it, but I have always been able to, as all who carried my mother’s blood in them could.”
Oh shit
“He did.” Ash stared down at his nearly empty glass. “My father was many things.”
Wait, if his dad made the deal and died why do they still have rot?
“They need to feed from a god.”
Wait that means that Castiel is a god?? Poppy fed from him after her culling
“Do you all feed off mortals?” Aios arched a brow as she watched me. “We can. It does the same for us as feeding off a god would.”
“Does anything happen to the mortal when a Primal or god feeds off them?” “No. Not if we’re careful. Obviously, a mortal may feel the effects of the feeding more than any of us would, and if we were to take too much, then…well, it would be a tragedy if they were not third sons or daughters.” Her lips tensed. “It’s forbidden to Ascend them—to save them.”
“Why?” Tension bracketed her mouth. “They would become what we call demis—a being with godlike power that was never meant to carry such a gift…and burden. They are something else.”
Is isbeth a Demi?
“I could,” he confirmed, placing his fork beside his plate. “But I do not feed.”
Tf?
“I do not prefer for us to remain strangers. To be quite blunt, Sera, I would prefer that we were once again as close as we were at the lake.”
I agree wholeheartedly
Because of my duty, of course.
Liarface
“I do not think either would live very long in the mortal realm, neither draken nor mortal.”
Lifting an arm, Ash placed his hand beside my head. He leaned in close enough that the air I breathed tasted of citrus. “My interest in you is the furthest thing from just talk.”
Literally giggling and kicking my feet rn
“But when I’m around you, the last thing I want is to be uncomplicated.” Ash’s lips coasted over my cheek, dragging a ragged gasp from me as they neared my ear. “Or in control. Or decent,”
Oh my
“So, keep that in mind the next time you doubt the realness of my interest,” he warned. “Because I won’t have you up against a wall. I will have you on your back, under me, and neither of us will remember our fucking names.” He pressed a kiss to my pounding pulse. “Are we clear, liessa?”
I am CLUTCHING my pearls
“The escape that reading once provided has sadly faded,”
The worst fate
“You haven’t told me why I cannot enter them without you.” His eyes met mine. “Because you’d likely die if you did.”
Who tf is in the red woods
“And has that rule been broken?” “Only once,” he answered.
Ooooooo who was it
“You will not be Ascended. You will remain mortal.”
Um tf???
“Are you worried Daddy Nyktos will be upset with you for allowing her in here and send you to bed without your supper?”
??? Why tf is she calling him this
Rubbing my aching jaw, I
What if her jaw is always hurting bc shes going through the culing and getting fangs??
“You carry an ember of life.”
Wtf??
“My father was the true Primal of Life.” Ash’s cool fingers touched my cheek. “Until his brother stole it from him. His twin, Kolis.”
Um WHAT THE LITERAL FUCK
I knew they were dakkais—a race of vicious, flesh-eating creatures, rumored to have been birthed from bottomless pits located somewhere in Iliseeum.
“Stop reading my fucking emotions!” I shouted, and Saion peeled away from the wall, his eyes growing wide. “Especially if you aren’t even going to believe what you’re reading, you jackass!”
Tell him sera
“What in the fuck did I just say about not telling me what to feel? That goes for you, too,” I said, and Ector’s brows flew up. I turned back around. “That goes for all of you.”
HELL YEAH TELL THEM GIRL
“Friendship? Even if I considered such a thing, I would never think of you. There is no way I could ever trust you. That I would not doubt or question every thought or action. Not when you were shaped and groomed to be whatever it is you believed I wanted. Not when you are just a vessel that would be empty if not for the ember of life you carry within you.”
Um excuse you sir that was RUDE
“They were different. Cold. Lifeless. Some of them stayed indoors, only moving about during the brief hours of night. Their eyes changed.” A far-off look crept into hers. “They became the color of shadowstone. Black. They always looked…hungry.”
Holy shit its the ascended
“Oh, you’re going to fucking make time.” Bele struck, thrusting out with the sword as a flare of eather left her other hand.
GET HER BELE
“You didn’t just bring her back. You…you Ascended her.”
Excuse me WHAT
