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.
I love you
Smoke wafted from the flame she’d touched, turning a dark, thick black that brushed against the damp stone, staining it.
Interesting
“Are you a lamaea?”
LOLL
“Demis,” I whispered hoarsely, my eyes widening. “You’re a demis. A false god.”
A demis is not born but made when a god commits the forbidden act of Ascending a mortal who was not Chosen.”
“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.”
My heart is on a platter for you cas
Dizziness rushed me. Their faces weren’t bare. They were all shrouded in the same veil I had been forced to wear,
Holy
Though I suddenly imagined Kieran knitting little sweaters and grinned.
Kieran would so do it too
Princess Kayleigh, first daughter of King Saegar and Queen Geneva of Irelone, joined Queen Ezmeria of Lasania and her Consort, Marisol, to celebrate the Rite and Ascension of the Chosen, marking
Three things that hadn’t existed before the Ascended ruled Solis.
“One born from a grave misdeed, of a great and terrible Primal power, with blood full of ash and ice.” Her words rattled her entire body, raising the tiny hairs all over mine. “The Chosen who will usher in the end, remaking the realms. The Harbinger of Death and Destruction.”
She’s a laruea.” “A what?” “A spirit.”
Seeing Reaver in his mortal form was already an utterly unexpected experience. But seeing him completely, absolutely naked whilst crouched on a pillar took the oddness of the situation to a whole new level. Reaver was a…blond. With his somewhat grumpy disposition, I’d conjured up a much darker-haired image of him.
LOLLLL
Delano nudged my limp hand with the side of his face. I reached over, gently petting the back of his neck.
Idk why but i love that they let pet them its so sweet
“Her name is a shadow in the ember, a light in the flame, and the fire in the flesh. The Primal of Life has forbidden us to speak or write her name.”
To speak her name is to bring the stars from the skies and topple the mountains into the sea.”
Wow okay
And this one hadn’t been now, either, for it remained on the finger I had placed it on.
NO
“We shared the same crib more times than not. We took our first steps together. Sat at the same table most nights, refusing to eat the same vegetables. We explored tunnels and lakes, pretended that fields were new, undiscovered kingdoms. We were inseparable. And that didn’t change as we grew older.” His voice roughened, and he dropped his forehead to mine. “He was and still is a part of me.”
Cries
She laughed—and I stiffened. Her laugh. It sounded…
Poppys secret sister?? WHO
but I noticed that she gripped the edges of the tub.
Hmm
“If you think that Granddaddy is the true Primal of Life and the true Primal of Death, then you know nothing.”
Maybe poppy is...
“Heartmates,” he choked out.
CRYING
But right now, when I could still feel Casteel inside me, Kieran’s nudity felt…different.
Smirk emoji
The Joining.
YES
My family. Valyn considered me part of his family. My throat constricted as a wealth of emotion threatened to rise unchecked. I tamped it down. I had to.
all a girl really wants is love from a father figure
My brother.
Okay wait his brother was there the night poppys parents were killed...
“Motherfucker,” I growled. Malik smiled. It wasn’t a smile I knew. Wasn’t real. “Yeah…” His arms fell to his sides.
"yeah" PLS
“No, she didn’t know me.” He folded the gauze, covering the wound. “Or at least that’s what she remembers.” My head tilted. “What does that mean?” “You’ll understand soon enough.” Malik tucked the tail of the gauze under the wrapping. “I have a feeling you will be reunited with your Queen sooner rather than later.”
WTF DOES THIS MEAN
she will return the favor.”
Ouch
the Goddess of Peace and Vengeance. She wore white armor.” “I haven’t seen it.”
Wait i love this
“I could tell he worried about why I wanted to speak with you. Other than his family, the only other person I’ve ever seen him this loyal to is Casteel. And that kind of loyalty goes beyond any sort of bond—even a Primal notam.”
“I hate what you’re wearing.”
The way theyre all so in tune im crying
what could I possibly have to do with him waking?
Maybe he needs her blood to wake
“Here comes your wolven.”
I STAN IT
“I don’t believe they will fit me. I have broader shoulders.” “I don’t think so,” Kieran replied. “And chest.” Kieran’s arms crossed. “You definitely do not have that either.” “And my legs are not thin twigs that could snap under a breeze,” Reaver continued. “Are you serious?” Kieran looked down at himself. He didn’t have…twig legs or whatever.
Ladies ladies your both pretty relax
“What are you reading?” Two pink splotches formed in his cheeks. “Um, it’s a book Perry found in the ship cabin you and Cas stayed in, actually.”
LOLLLL the smut books come back to haunt
“I will do it,” Kieran swore with another shudder. “I will stop you.”
Sobs
“Not that I think you’re an item or that you belong in that kind of way to Cas, but—”
He knows whats up
at the sight of rich, warm brown skin and the mass of tight, snow-white curls. “Holy shit,” Kieran muttered. My heart stuttered and sped up as I stumbled away from Kieran. “Tawny?”
WHAT
“A viktor is born with a goal—to guard someone the Fates believe is destined to bring about some great change or purpose. I got the impression that not all are aware of their duty, and they end up being there for that person anyway—like the Fates bring them together. I think other viktors are aware and are involved in the lives of the ones they’re protecting. Once they die, either while carrying out their purpose or from any other cause, their souls return to Mount Lotho.”
Cries
Besides all of that, his name couldn’t be a coincidence.”
I’m sorry for not protecting you. His belief that he’d failed me took on a whole new meaning now.
Sobs
“‘A first daughter, with blood full of fire, fated for the once-promised King. And the second daughter, with blood full of ash and ice, the other half of the future King. Together, they will remake the realms as they usher in the end. And so it will begin with the last Chosen blood spilled, the great conspirator birthed from the flesh and fire of the Primals will awaken as the Harbinger and the Bringer of Death and Destruction to the lands gifted by the gods. Beware, for the end will come from the west to destroy the east and lay waste to all which lies between,’”
“He told me you already knew her name.”
!!??!?!!?
A better man, one not steeped in the kind of blood I was, would’ve walked away. Would’ve left her to find someone good. Deserving. But I wasn’t that kind of man.
Cumming
Kieran had offered himself, and it wasn’t because I felt that feeding from him would be wrong or uncomfortable. It was just that, well, the experiences I had with feeding—those that I actually remembered—involved…other things. Things I only felt for Casteel—with Casteel.
She wants kieran lowkey
“This should be a fun night,” Kieran muttered. He has no idea,
Irrationally jealous rn
don’t think it shocked you at all. I think it intrigued you.”
YES
“But she would.” The Handmaiden stepped forward. “I am her favorite…after you.”
SHes her sister maybe????The other one in the prophecy
shook. “I see it. I see her staring back at me.” “She must…he’s her viktor,” I heard Momma say in a voice that sounded wet. “Do you understand what that means? Please. She must…”
im assuming her is the consort and obviously the viktor is vikter
