Kindle Notes & Highlights
You’re so much more than insane, little wolf. The low rumble of his voice wrapped around my mind, deep and smooth, reverberating through my bones. He who had no name, who refused to give me his name, who was always in my head. Something I never told a single soul; otherwise, I’d end up in an asylum.
We all lived with darkness in our heads, and I didn’t want to see their insanity etched on their faces.
Let them hate you. His voice broke through the music. As long as they fear you, little wolf, you will be fine.
When it’s just us two, you respond, and I can make you feel things. Make you forget everything else.
I can break you, he whispered.
I wasn’t talking about your mind.
In the most delicious way,
You should have pulled her tongue out for that.
Let them fear you. It’s better to be a wolf than the lamb.
He doesn't know you like I know you. He can’t…do things I can do to you.
Antonio was crazy hot, and if he went, maybe he’d say yes to going with me. He might even kiss me.
I will teach you to be great, to take your place amongst the feared, and I’ll show you pleasures you’ve never experienced.
I only see the truth and you’re refusing to open your eyes that you are so much greater than this, to make others who hurt you bleed, to remind them who lives amongst them.
I want you to be mine. To tremble under my touch, to scream my name. To love my bad behavior.
Ferris wheel? Is that some kind of weapon or sex toy?
The question isn’t why he doesn’t like you, but why do you want him to? “You’re deep sometimes.” It’s my curse. I am the prince of darkness, after all.
“All right. How about you tell me who I am?” Long ago, darkness and light came together and created beauty… a beauty that will destroy this world.
You’ve been forgotten, little wolf. But I know exactly who you are. I just need to find you.
I’ll breathe so much easier when I feel your heartbeat, your weight against me.
I’m no hero. “Then what are you?” I blurted out. I’m the wolf who will take revenge. The monster behind you who bathes in your misery. The only one who will put you back together.
Oh, little wolf… His voice cracked, then faded. “Yeah, that’s what I thought.” You have no idea how far I’ll go for you.
An older girl had once told me that if I wanted to be forgotten, I had to ignore myself, a comment that took me years to fully understand, hating her all the while over the fact that she’d say that to me.
“You aren’t the voice from my head,” I spat. “You can’t be because he’d never hurt me. He promised to save me and to make those who hurt me pay.”
“And I said I was no hero. May the gods have mercy on those who wronged you because I won’t.”
“Those hiding in the dark will rip you apart, suck the marrow from your bones, wear your skin as decoration, but… my little wolf, most of all, you should be scared of the deadliest monster of them all. Me,” he hissed. “You have no idea how far I’ll go.”
“I found her. She’s mine,” I snarled as a gust of icy air rushed into the room, pushing against my back, nudging me to step forward. I’d spent too long in her head to give her up so easily now.
I raised my head to find three men looking my way. My feet stopped working, as did my heart, because these guys… Sweet Jesus! They were handsome… impossibly handsome. Pale skin. Red lips. Eyes full of sin.
“In the Wandering Realms, I’m the prince of darkness, a lord, a master.”
“My older brother is the heir to the throne, while my younger brother and I will remain princes by his side.”
“I don’t belong to you.” He licked his lips and the fire in his eyes ignited. “You were always mine, little wolf. You just never knew it.”
“What do you want to hear? That I can’t get you out of my thoughts? How I want you pinned to the wall, beneath me?”
“Little girl, you keep pushing me,” he spat. “Next time, you’ll learn how to fly off my balcony.”
I was a walking contradiction, but Luther had been part of me for so long. Without him… I wasn’t sure what was left. Loneliness?
Trust was the kind of word that grew thorns and drew blood when you least expected it.
I snatched it off the floor and unfolded it, moving over to the window for better light. Leave this place. Run before it’s too late for you.
“So you’re the rebel of the family,” I teased. He brought my hand up to his lips, kissing my knuckles quickly as we walked. “If you only knew, little wolf.”
He hissed a breath at my touch, pulling me against him roughly, kissing me with such savagery, I lost myself to him. It scared me how much I let myself go, how much I craved him.
“There are so many secrets I plan to share with you, my little wolf. Secrets that will make you the most powerful fae in Wandering Realm.”
I still burned on the inside for him, still ached to kiss him all night, still wished he’d slept in here with me.
“My father, Goddess bless his soul, once told me that sometimes it is difficult to break one’s path to embrace a new future. But to survive among monsters, one must adapt any way possible.”
How could I stay here with three princes who were more dangerous than I’d first thought? One dominant and terrifying. One cruel with his words. And one who’d unmistakably stolen my heart.
Luther scrambled over to me, cradling me in his arms, tears on his cheeks. “What did you do, little wolf? I’m not ready to lose you. I just found you.”
“I’ll find you again,” Luther promised. “I’ll tear down the world to find you.”
The voice in my head, the prince who’d stolen my heart, had reached through the void to claim my lips with his hunger. A hunger I felt in the depths of my soul now shredded me into a thousand pieces.
