Kindle Notes & Highlights
He simply chooses the other route with me – the rugged edge that’s meant to cut and hurt. The one people reserve for their enemies. “Hide while you can.” He pats my hand once, and although his skin is warm, it feels so cold. “When I find you, I’ll drag you out kicking and screaming.”
He’s the type of king who’ll start wars for his queen.
looks at Elsa, the way his brows soften under his hard face, the way he tells her without words that he’s hers as much as she’s his. I’ve been watching them since they began, and I fell in love with them together worse than a fangirl falling for fictional heroes in romance novels.
The fangirl is me, by the way. I have more book boyfriends than I can count. Don’t judge. “Hmm.” He strokes a strand of hair behind her ear. “You’ll pay for that lat...

Kimberly: I’m doing nothing. Happy now? Xander: Nothing, as in you’re sitting around? Or nothing, as in you’re hiding under your covers, trying to pretend the world doesn’t exist?
That was the Sherlock in me. Now, he’s going to sleep.
The fucker is bored and out to destroy lives because of it.
There’s no way in shit I’ll be the next victim of his sociopathic boredom.
Don’t ask for my attention or I’ll suffocate you with it.”
I’ll stay with you until the urge goes.
“We can do it the easy way or the hard way.” Or I can just bite you. I’m about to do that when he smirks as if he’s been reading my thoughts all along. “For the record, biting me is the hard, not the easy one.”
Seven years later, the loss of them still beats under my skin, loud, hard, and unbearable.
Wars are the reason for death, not the other way around. Death goes down. War remains.
I laugh, the sound humourless and harsh as I address her, “You think you can stop me? Know your fucking place.”
I can clutch her by the wrist and pull her back. I can bring her to my side and let the world know she’ll always belong there.
Xander: Remember when you promised you’d never leave me? My fingers tremble as I read and re-read the message. Before I can fathom a reply, another text comes. Xander: I free you of that promise.
“I would have,” Cole says. “No thoughts.”
Cole stares down at me with his fucking green eyes and I’m tempted to poke out and maybe put in a jar.
Then I fed her the pistachio gelato while she read her magical stories about wizards and princes and kingdoms aloud. And knights.
“You’re so beautiful, Green, and I fucking hate you for it.”
“I hate you,” I murmur, though my fingers dig into his T-shirt. “I hate you so much.”
“I hate you, too, Green.” His lips hover a few inches away from mine. “Stop calling me that.” “I’ll call you whatever I fucking please. You’re my Green.” He grabs me by the arm and flips me so I’m lying on the bed and he’s hovering above me. “Now, shut up and let me kiss you.”
“Shut the fuck up, Green.”
Kneeling at the foot of the bed, he stares straight at my pussy and I instinctively close my thighs.
He was once my knight, my anchor, my warm shoulder. Now, he’s the villain coming after my life.
Now, I’m the one taking everything and leaving it empty. The fog slowly dissipates, but no one comes through, no one barges through the door and tells me not to go. Maybe it’s because I was always meant to go. The sound of everything ending is just that…the end. A tear slides down my cheek as I close my eyes and surrender to the darkness.
Blood. So much fucking blood.
“Like how much I hate you. I don’t. Or how much you’re nothing. You aren’t. Or how I can live without you. I can’t.”
Because I feel jealous and fucking crazy whenever anyone gets close to you. Because I want to be your first and last and fucking everything.”
“I always dreamt about you coming from my window to take my virginity.”
“You said you liked being hurt.” I nibble on my lower lip. “I do.” “But you like it better when I do it?” My eyes widen. How can he read me so fast?
If it were up to me, she wouldn’t leave my bed for…years, that’s about right.
She still gives her entire heart and secretly believes in magic, and that’s probably why she has that much pain. That pain will be mine now, just like the rest of her.
No one touches her now, not him and not anyone else.
Her entire attention is zeroed on me, lips parted and that spark shining in her deep green eyes. If they’re an enchanted forest, I’m ready to get lost in there and never be found.
“Let’s see if you’ll be laughing when I fuck you until you can’t move tonight.”
