Compelled (Shadow Beast Shifters, #5)

by Jaymin Eve

I’ve always said I fall in love with hearts not parts, and that stood true, but so far I hadn’t found the one with the heart I was searching for.

Lady had some strong vagina energy, which was much more impressive than big dick energy. Or so I’d heard.

“That bitch has two libraries?” I cried. “We really need to have a long conversation about sharing.”

“You fucking did this to me, you stupid, oversized beast. Of course, you would create a giant baby trying to annihilate my vagina.”

damn perfection of their relationship. Even at their worst, they still made each other better. Enhanced each other. Or some soulmate crap like that.

think it’s perfectly reasonable to lose your shit for those you love. I don’t even have to be mated to feel that primal drive. In a way, you’re fighting for your own life since you wouldn’t survive without your mate, and self-preservation is one of our strongest instincts.”

“Anyone who touched you and didn’t appreciate the fucking gift they were given deserves to die.”

“This is what we do for each other, no questions asked and no need to thank. We stand together so none of us will ever fall.”

Seriously, morning people were the worst. Straight up sociopaths.

“And just to be clear, I’m not a princess in a fairytale!” My voice rose significantly. “This is my animal sidekick, but I repeat, not a princess.”

“Love is not weakness,” I told him, as serious as I’d ever felt. “If you’ve been missing half of your soul, then you’ve been missing half of your strength. You need to consider if maybe, in the end, your parents’ weakness had nothing to do with their devotion to each other and everything to do with their personalities.

I look at reading as food or medicine for the soul.”

“Cutting from the arts, which is also the first place people turn for entertainment. Authors, actors, painters. All of this is soul food, and without it, there

would be a massive increase in depression and other mental health issues. We need to start nurturing our artists.”

“My love for you is beyond anything I’ve ever felt. It’s beyond any words I can give you, but I promise my actions will always speak of my utter devotion toward you. You’ll never want for anything again, emotional or material.”
