I would spend an eternity taking these bites if that meant she was safe. That it wasn’t her in this cell. That she wasn’t the one in pain.
Sobbing
“Demis,” I whispered hoarsely, my eyes widening. “You’re a demis. A false god.”
Kill it
A demis is not born but made when a god commits the forbidden act of Ascending a mortal who was not Chosen.”
Gods, Poppy was…damn, she was vicious in the most magnificent way, and I could not wait to show her just how much I approved of it. “That’s…gods, that’s my Queen.”
The way this man loves her 😭
“Whether she ruled over all the lands and seas or was the Queen of nothing but a pile of ashes and bones, she would—will—always be my Queen. Love is too weak an emotion to describe how she consumes me and what I feel for her. She is my everything.”
*cries in my husband is not casteel*
“But you are the first female descendant of the Primal of Life—the most powerful being known. In time, you will become even more powerful than your father.”
Neither of us had removed our rings since the ceremony. And this one hadn’t been now, either, for it remained on the finger I had placed it on.
That bitch
“This was not a storm,” Reaver said, and I turned to him. “It was an…awakening.” “Of what?” I asked. He lifted his head, and his eyes…they weren’t like earlier. They were still a vibrant shade of blue, but the pupils were thin, vertical slits. “Death.”
What is happening
“I don’t give a damn about leadership right now. It’s you that I’m concerned about,” Valyn said, and my head jerked toward him. “You are the Queen, but you are also my daughter-in-law.”
Okay, thats sweet
“Or at least that’s what she remembers.” My head tilted. “What does that mean?”
Hold on cowboy. We cant just breeze by that
Be careful but be brave.
“There’s nothing that can take down these gates.”
...Whos gonna tell him?
“Why does the Consort sleep so deeply when Nyktos doesn’t?” Reaver looked down at his apple, not speaking for several long moments. “It’s the only way to stop her.”
Let sera do what she wants
“And my legs are not thin twigs that could snap under a breeze,” Reaver continued.
REAVER ahaaahahah
My heart stuttered and sped up as I stumbled away from Kieran. “Tawny?”
I do not give a single damn about tawny. Go get casteel
He also told me it wasn’t just Nyktos who gave his approval for your marriage. That it was him and the Consort.”
“Was Vikter a spirit?” “No.” Tawny shook her head. “He’s a viktor.”
“So nosy,” Kieran murmured.
Girl. Get outta there i am CRINGING
“You’re…her sister, aren’t you? Full-blooded.” “I am.”
This is wild behavior
Either way, my sister can’t survive this. She will die in your arms, or she will drown the realms in blood.”
The fuck she will, millie
It was time to fight our way out.
Go get your mans
“Nope.” Kieran loomed over us, forcing his forearm under Casteel’s chin. “That’s a nope.”
hahahaha
“The mist. She didn’t summon it, Cas. She created the Primal mist.”
yesssss poppy gurl
“He speaks the truth,” Reaver announced, and we all turned to him. “Both of them. You’re a Primal—born of mortal flesh.”
why didnt no one say nothing before?!
Isbeth stood before us.
SHIT
“Return with Malec, or your precious wolven dies.”
Youre joking
I want to do the Joining.”
Girl. I cant wait
“Then you should also know that there is something very wrong about all of this.”
You are STRESSING me out
Isbeth screamed—and, gods, that was the sound of pure anguish. She brought the dagger down—into Malec’s chest. His heart.
WHAT
“Kolis.”
SHIT FUCK
We both looked down at her chest, where a shadowstone blade protruded.
No! Dammit
Something hot and wet dripped against my hand.
Dont you fucking DARE
Emil stumbled back, his swords slipping from his hands as he went down on one knee in front of the Revenant who had speared him through the chest.
Stop this oh my god i cant see through my tears
I planted my palms against the stone, and my hands sank into the rock as I threw my head back and screamed the name. Not that of the King of Gods, but the Queen of Gods. The true Primal of Life.
YES SERA GIRL WAKE UP
“Nektas,” Casteel rasped.
Where were you 5 minutes ago?!
Isbeth’s spine cracked. Her upper body wilted backward, and the pain…it was absolute.
Hell yeah
“Delano…?”
Sobbing again
“That’s some sexist, patriarchal bullshit!”
Tell them, baby!
You’re many things. The Primal of Blood and Bone—the true Primal of Life and Death.” He spoke in the way he had when he’d spoken of the Consort, and the essence hummed through me. “Those two essences have never existed in one. Not in the Consort. Not in Nyktos.”
