“You will always have to prove yourself,”
In order to succeed, you don’t have to be stronger, just deadlier.
When a Lord fights, he fights to the end. There can only be one winner. Only one left standing. And I refuse to be anything but.
“There are animals that roam these halls. If you’re not careful, one will catch you.”
“Don’t be ashamed, Blake,” he whispers in my ear. “You’re my chosen one. Be proud. I know I am.”
“I’m going to fuck you right here, right now. That mouth is mine. That ass is mine. That cunt is mine. You’re fucking mine.”

“I’ve always been a selfish person, Blake. Willing to do whatever it takes to get where I want
to be. And out of all the things I’ve done, you are by far the greatest reward for my selfishness.”
“No two people love the same way. And everyone
has a different opinion on what love actually is.”
