Kindle Notes & Highlights
“If I hadn’t taken that potion—” Before I know what’s happening, Finn spins me around and presses me against the wall. He stares down at me, his silver eyes hard. “But you did. You took the potion, and in doing so, you salvaged one beautiful thing in a world full of ugliness. I, for one, will never be sorry for that.”
I shove him away and haul up my shields, blocking out the sudden surge of Sebastian’s feelings.
OH NO LOL
“Brie is mine. She bonded with me, not you. You can’t have her.”
What is with these guys fighting over her like she is an object???
“Sorry. I forgot you told her that you ‘sent them home.’ Oops.”
STFU!!!! The gasp i just gusped
“As you know, ending our bond is not so simple.
I guess Sebastian will have to die, its the only way
His eyes go hard. “Maybe I just don’t want him to have it.” “Aren’t you, like, hundreds of years old? Why are you acting like a spoiled child who doesn’t want to share his toys?” His grin is smug, and his gaze is pure wicked intention as he looks me over slowly. “I don’t consider you a toy, Princess, but if you’d like to play, all you have to do is ask.”
“Let the water fae smother the flames before you go back in.”
water fae???? lol what is that
I want to see my mother’s face just one more time, and when I turn, I’m treated to her beautiful smile, her kind eyes—right before a wave crashes over her and pulls her under the sea. “Mother!” I shout, diving in after her.
This bitch is so dumb she knew it was a trap and fell for it anyway
“Do you think your connection to the crown helped me heal?” He opens his mouth, then closes it before trying again. “I think there’s a connection between us that I don’t have an explanation for.”
Princess?”
I am sooooooo tired of this nickname
“What do you know about the tethered?”
Ahhh here we go theres the 'mating bond' thing
“Remind me to stay on your good side, Princess.” I cut him a look. “I’m not sure you’ve even met my good side.”
Because he’s not you. Because I can’t stop thinking about our kiss or the way you comforted me last night. Because though my bond with Sebastian might heighten the things I feel about and with him, none of it compares to the way I feel when I’m close to you.
Daaaamn
But this court doesn’t need you because of what’s in your blood.” His hand drops from my face and rests on my chest. “It needs you because of what’s in your heart.”
Im cringing and gagging
“Is that it?” he asks, eyes hard, head cocked to the side. “Or do you want to be free to be with him without my knowing? Do you want to be free to have him kiss you and touch you without having to feel how that tears me apart inside?” I can’t hear the pain in his voice without vividly remembering being beneath the waterfall with Finn, that feeling of Sebastian through the bond. His heartache. The betrayal he felt. “Bash,” I whisper. “You need to let me go. Please.”
omg this whole situation is so toxic
“You’ll stay bonded to me, even knowing I want to be free of it? Knowing I’m falling for someone else? Knowing the way I feel about Finn?” He flinches. “Yes.” He cups my face. “You’re mine, Abriella. I found you first.”
Daaaaamn toxic!!!!!!
“On the other side of the portal, deep in the Underworld, the Waters of New Life flow. Water so clear it can strip away your mistakes, your regrets. Water that can, if you ask it, undo the bonds you’ve taken with others. Only there can severing the bond be your choice alone.”
How convenient....
“Still with that nickname?” I smile. “I thought you would’ve figured it out by now. I’m not a princess. I never was.” “I know,” he whispers into my hair. His lips brush my temple, just a ghost of a kiss, but the warmth laps over me like a summer tide rolling to shore. “I know that’s not who you really are. I think I knew it the first time I saw you. You’re no princess. You’re my queen.”
Im cringing so hard
Mab never said that Sebastian had to die. She said he had to give up his life, and he did—he surrendered his immortal life.
Damn i did not see that coming haha
“Come on, Princess,” he whispers in my ear. “Make me call you something else.”
