Kindle Notes & Highlights
North looks over at me and I know that it’s game over for him. That’s the last puzzle piece in the mystery that is his Bond. Now he knows everything he ever needed to know about her. He’s done for; hook, line, and sinker. He belongs to her now, whether he’s admitting it to himself yet or not.
Azrael looks up at me with soft eyes, ones he should not be so open about showing in mixed company, and whines like a pup. She’s ruining him. The more time he spends with her, the more he craves the gentle and loving tones she gives him. All of the belly scratches and soft pets… he’ll be useless in a fight soon. He whines again and I roll my eyes. “Fine, you can go find her. Don’t eat anyone on the way.”
We stare at each other for a moment, a moment of recognition because we were made for each other, made out of each other before we were separated and put on this Earth, only to seek each other out eternally.
“You were kidnapped from the hospital. You were held in a Resistance camp for two years while they tortured you for information about your Gift and your Bonds. You gave them nothing. You escaped when Silas Davies left, and your bond took over to get you out. You then spent three years on the run to lead them away from us. You slept in halfway homes, sublets, and the streets while you were barely more than a kid because you didn’t want them to get access to us… or your Gift. That’s what’s changed.”
We love seeing North figure it all out 😭😭😭
“Mine. You’re mine. No one will hurt you again. Not me, not the others, not anyone. The shadows cannot harm you, they belong to you, as I do. We all do.”
He leans down to press our foreheads together, and then his voice sounds in my head. I have been waiting for you forever, little Bonded.
“You’re glowing. It’s cute as fuck, but Black is sweating in the front over it, so you might want to work on it.” I shake my head. “He can work to get over it. I’m perfect as I am.”
“Oli, I need you to listen to me right now, because I’ve never been so fucking serious about anything in my life. You’re my Bond. If you get stronger and burn the whole world to the ground, then I’ll be there at your side, watching it burn.
It’s you and me, and nothing else matters to me.”
