“O maćho o baro xàla e tikinen.”
“You are the madness he creates. You are the great fish. But Calder”—she shivers—“he’s the ocean, and he’ll swallow everyone whole. This is the last time I will speak his name. Because to say it calls to evil. But you are wrong. Death isn’t waiting for Calder. It’s listening for his instruction.”
“It was all worth it. You are mine, and I am yours.”
“The day Calder comes will be everyone’s reckoning. And I won’t even pray for your souls.”
There won’t be stars or blue skies filled with heavens staring down on us. All we have is death and destruction. A life sentence, forced to survive within the absence of our love.
I’ve been chasing her voice back here from hell. Because no-fucking-body keeps me from her.”
“Then let her be damned, God, because I told you. Not even you can have her.”
I hate myself because I’ve seen that we’re unholy, condemned to our family names. Destined to destroy everyone around us because our love only begets hate. And still, I love him.
Our Father who art in heaven. You abandoned me. Left me to this cruelty. You’ve taken the only man I love from me and allowed innocent people to be punished in the name of their hate. So this is the last time I’ll pray to your name. If you’re real, if you ever loved me, then commit Hunter to hell. And let them burn with him.
“I’m gonna end this, Roman. For all of us. But I’m gonna kill them all for her.”
“I love you, Sutton. You’re my magic. My forever, baby. Don’t take that away from me.”
“You’re my home, Sutton,” I whisper, slowly pulling back. I put my hands over hers and look into her eyes. “And I’ll always come back. But we can’t have magic and forever until I make the rules. Until I’m king.”
“I would wade through hell to be with you, Calder. No matter how long it takes.”
“How am I going to exist without you?” Calder gently grips my jaw, bringing my face to his, our eyes locked. “You don’t. There is no fucking difference between where I begin and you end. Not now, not ever. So we’ll do what we have to so that we survive until we’re together again.”
Soul mate would be the easy word, but what I feel is deeper. I recognize my soul in her. Like it’s split between us, and we’re only whole when we’re together.
I’m weighing my options. It has to be the right move. Because I’m not just destroying a kingdom. I’m building a fucking empire. And that shit wasn’t done in a day.”
“I love you forever. Until we’re dust and bones and even after that.”
“This pussy is mine to do with as I please. I will fuck it until it cries for me, and then I’ll kiss it better. Because, baby, I was made to fucking worship you.”
“Now I’m baptized in you.”
