Kindle Notes & Highlights
I will tear them all limb from limb, I’ll let their blood coat my skin, wearing it like a cloak and I won’t stop until I have my little bird back in my arms.
The organ inside my chest no longer beats for me or this city, it beats for her. It thrums for her touch, her body and without it, the thing is useless.
She told me she loved me. I didn’t deserve that, not from her. I didn’t deserve that full stop. Loving me would damn her to hell. I would never let her go, she belonged to me, and now I know she has given me her heart, I’ll do anything to get her back, damned or not.
“Because I have her heart, Griffin. She chooses me. Me.”
Fight little bird, his words penetrate through the fog inside my mind. Come home to me little bird. Stand by my side. Be my queen.
You are mine. You belong to me. Only me.
“I’ve been looking for you, little bird,” his growl is barely audible, a whisper in the darkness, taunting me, “You left me, but I came looking. I’ll always come looking.”
“I’ve missed you little bird and I’ve never missed anything in my entire life.”
Let it be said, even the devil can be tamed.
“such a good girl, on your knees for me.”
“For you, little bird, anything,”
Alexander Silver was both my monster and my savior, but he wasn’t the villain in my story.
I belong to me. Lex likes to believe I belong to him and whilst he has my heart and my body, I am still me. I will always be me.
“Because she means something to you, Wren, and what you care for will always be important.”
Before, I would have done everything to see this city thrive, burn everything to the ground to ensure the Silver name stayed on top but now, I’d level the entire thing to the ground if it meant keeping my little bird safe.
She was mine. She would always be fucking mine. A queen. The light in the darkness of my life.
“Trying to warn me that the man I am married to is not a good man.” “He is not,” Lex agrees, leaning down to kiss me tenderly, “But he is utterly devoted.”
He promised me I’d always be his first. His only. His queen and he’s kept his promise. Just like I promised to always fight him but love him later, to be his light even on the darkest of nights. But there was one thing I was certain of. No matter how hard or dark our life got, I’d always stand by his side.
