if it’s the monster they want, then it’s the monster they’ll get.
I was her monster. Her demon. Her devil.
She told me she loved me.
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.
I’m coming little bird and together we will bring our enemies to their knees.
“You’ve called the monster now, Griffin, don’t be surprised that he’s answered.”
“Fight me, Wren, I dare you.”
Twisted king
Alexander Silver was both my monster and my savior, but he wasn’t the villain in my story.
“Little bird,”
“Twisted king,”
“I am in love with you too,” I admit, “I never thought it possible, but I love you, little bird. All and every part of you.”
“And so the monster can love, after all,”
“It’s going to take time,” I tell her, not letting go, “It’ll take time, but I know, I fucking know you. I know you can do this. I know you hate me right now. I know this is my fault, I know I dragged you into this but I’m going to be here, I am going to help you and give you everything you need. Whatever it is you want, you need, you ask for, I’m going to give it to you.”
She sighs, stepping up to me, her eyes clouded and misty, tears still making her eyes watery, “I fell in love with you. You. Despite the shit you do and the blood on your hands. You fucking kidnapped me and yet I still fucking love you. How fucked up is that!” she laughs, “You’re a twisted, ruthless motherfucker, Alexander and I’m still fucking here.”
“I will always protect you,” I tell her, “You will always be first.” “Your city comes first,” she breathes, pressing a kiss to my palm. “Not anymore, little bird.”
This is for Rory. For me. For Lex’s mother. For all the women Valentine has hurt and tortured.
I was always going to answer.
“Look at our city, my love, look at our city whilst I worship its queen.”
