“You made it stop,” she murmured again. She reached a hand up and tentatively touched his lips. Frost coated her fingertips, and the cold against his skin sent a chill down his spine. A half grin kicked up on his mouth, and he huffed a breath onto them, breathing out his magic. The frost melted instantly.
Ouuu waittt. That was sexy!
“I know that mortals fear the Fae, yes.” Nuri smirked. “That’s cute. Fear the Fae.
“You are fierce and strong and a survivor. You need no one, Scarlett Monrhoe, but wouldn’t it be nice to have someone there with you so you can rest and take a breath, even if only for a minute?”
“Everything’s about to change, isn’t it?” “Yes, Seastar, nothing will be the same again.”
Sorin gave her a wicked grin as flames encircled them. Scarlett screamed a little, and Sorin laughed. He closed his fist, and the flames vanished. When he opened his hand again, tiny flames danced. He rolled them along his knuckles and around his wrists.
CUTTTTTEEEEEEE!!!
“The Black Syndicate? It is a district of thieves and criminals and mercenaries. How could they not protect the children there?”
No fr that’s crazy
“I don’t give a shit about what Callan wants,” Sloan retorted. “Our job is to guard his ass, not kiss it.”
Sloan strict as hell hahaaaa
“I am the Crown Prince,” he replied, his voice thick. “I do not need to do anything.” Indeed.
“Because sometimes we just need someone to sit with us in the darkness in the middle of the mess,” Sorin replied.
“You are not all darkness,” Sorin said softly. “Sometimes I do not think that is true,” she answered,
“Darkness is not a bad thing, Scarlett, but do not let it overtake the stars.”
he reached up and pulled a book from an orb of flame that appeared above his hand.
Ok fancy pants! I wish I could grab a book from a ball of flame lol
“No matter what you see tonight, no matter who I am, promise me you’ll…,” she swallowed, her eyes closing. “I will find the light, Scarlett,” he said softly.
tall, muscled general of lethal grace and mask of stone.
Tula had brought Sorin a cookie and asked if he would smile. Scarlett had burst into laughter at the question.
Lmaoooo. Cause she done told the lil girl, Sorin is nice when you give him treats.
“I can do more than that,” he crooned with a smirk, his gaze dipping to her mouth. “Stop that,” she snapped, smacking his shoulder. He gave a quiet chuckle. “I’m glad you find this funny.
“You would stay in the dark?” Callan challenged. “I would stay where I can see the stars,” she replied. And Sorin could have sworn that thing that stirred within his soul sat up at her words.
here, with him, she could simply be. She could breathe. Because he understood her. Understood her darkness.
But before she could say more, they were interrupted. “Mind if I cut in?” Mikale stood before them as the song came to a close.
Uggh this asshole again
She moaned as he palmed her breast while sucking the other into his mouth.
Why she so easyyyyy
Never in all his years would he have guessed at what she had endured.
Shiii i would've never guessed either !
“He will ask my father for her hand in marriage,” Tava replied quietly. “If Scarlett refuses, he will kill Nuri.”
This cannot be happening!
Scarlett. She jerked her head up. He had said her name, but he hadn’t. His lips hadn’t moved.
How dare he try and keep her here.
Thats not what he was doing and yk that. He needed answers! To make sure you wasnt gonna freeze and get taken advantage of, you dense ass bitch
“Who?” he breathed. “Who were you assigned to kill?” “You,” she whispered. “I was ordered to kill you.
Fucccckkkkk what!!
She had left. She had left without a fight. No sarcasm. None of her damn attitude. Her insufferable arrogance had been nonexistent. It was as if she had already conceded, already admitted defeat.
It is a game we play, he and I. He would be damned if Mikale won.
Maybe then she wouldn’t have looked so defeated when she left, knowing she was a princess, possibly queen, of the Fae lands.
WHAT!!! PRINCESS???? QUEEN?????
Tears streamed down her cheeks. Alone. She was completely alone. Locked in a room. Locked in a cage. The tears kept coming.
If you go to him, the stars will go out. And they did. The last star, the last light in the shadows, went out.
“We met at a feast a little over a year ago. He knocked the wind right out of me,” Scarlett said sweetly. Mikale tensed beside her, and Veda coughed, choking on her water. “Sorry,” Veda muttered, taking another drink. “I swallowed wrong.”
Im geeked
“You know he will not leave you behind, right? That he will come for you,” Cassius replied.
CASSIUS! You cannot say that right now infront of everyone!
Cassius's later words now swirled in her mind. You know he will not leave you behind, right? That he will come for you.
She had needed more time, and instead she had lost it all. She had made a bad call. She had played a dangerous game, and she had lost.
“If you mean do I understand I am going into hiding, yes,” Callan answered grimly.
“Scarlett Monrhoe, I would cross deserts and oceans for you. I would cross the realms for you. Did you really think a mortal man could keep you from me?”
“You have kept secrets from me,” she said.
BITCHHHHHHHHHH! He tried to tell you everything on SEVERAL occasions! You shut him down, every fucking time.
She heard Eliza swear. “Do something, Prince!” What could Callan do against this?
No. No. Nah....he cant be a prince. Can he?!!!!
“No. Scarlett here just informed me I am not allowed to touch her unless she asks me to.” “Oh, for fuck’s sake,” Scarlett moaned. She heard Finn and Sloan snicker behind them. “Language, Lady,” Sorin chided mockingly. “I swear to Saylah, if you call me Lady one more time, I am going to touch you right off this horse.”
Lmaoooo "touch you right off this horse" is wild
Sorin had been placing food in her hands, and she had eaten it without thinking, too intrigued by their conversation.
Love that
“I want to tell you a story,” he said after an hour or so, and he pressed a piece of bread into her hand. She smiled as she took a small bite.
The shadows that encircled her curled around his arms and ears, and they looked different, she realized. These shadows were embracing him, loving him, caressing him.
“I don’t hate you.” He pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I know, Love, but you will.”
Why does he keep saying that!!! I hope she doesnt hate him. Im going to cry
