Kindle Notes & Highlights
One secret you never want anyone to know: I asked Lia to find a spell to bring Hudson back. I had no idea it would mean blood sacrificing my mate.
Something only your best friend would know: I have a super-secret obsession with comic books. My favorite is X-Men. Flint is the only one who knows. I never even told Grace.
Grace: Should I bring anything? Jaxon: ??? Grace: When I come to your room later Jaxon: Yourself? Grace: Obviously Grace: Other than that Jaxon: Like what? Grace: I don’t know. Like food? Jaxon: Are you hungry? Grace: No Grace: I just figured it’s the polite thing to do Jaxon: I’m a vampire. Jaxon: I don’t eat food.
Biggest fear: Ending up alone because I’ll always love the wrong person. Is that too deep? How about “the ocean.” We have no idea what’s down there. I don’t trust that shit.
One secret you never want anyone to know: I fell in love with my best friend when I was fourteen and never told him. It’s probably for the best…
Byron: Being mated sucks. Mekhi: Read the room, B
4. Luca loves amusement parks, and he always rides the teacups first.
Luca: how do we lure count dracula out of his lair? Mekhi: Sounds like the beginning of one of Grace’s jokes…
Rafael: What about *someone*? Mekhi: Fucking Hudson Byron: Fucking Hudson Luca: fucking hudson Liam: Fucking Hudson
Mekhi: Fuck it Mekhi: I volunteer as tribute
But it’s agonizing to know that they have eternity…and I have memories.
You are best known by your friends for the time you: Had a motorcycle delivered to Katmere via helicopter. Foster had a fit, but it was totally worth it. Plus, I make a killing selling snacks from town.
Animals are a lot easier to understand than most people. Except racoons. I don’t get those assholes at all. You are best known by your friends for the time you: Were attacked (brutally and unprovoked!!) by a savage racoon. I made Jaxon take me to Anchorage to get rabies shots. I don’t know if vampires can get rabies, but I wasn’t gonna be the one to find out.
What makes your friends laugh every single time: That goddamn racoon story.
Biggest fear: That my pets will eat me when I die. I can’t explain it…but it haunts me.
Peeve wouldn’t eat me; his teeth are too small.
Only the Order knows I spent the whole break watching Hallmark Christmas movies in my room. They even joined me sometimes.
Biggest fear: The spirits of all the rabbits I’ve ever hunted teaming up and coming back for revenge.
Dream vacation: I’d love to travel to all the capitals of magic. The three axes of light magic are Accra, Ghana; Shanghai,
China; and Turin, Italy, while the axes of dark magic are Prague, Czech Republic; Turin, Italy; and Buenos Aires, Argentina. I’d like to explore the ancient magic in all those cities while working on fine-tuning my own.
Least favorite part of living in Alaska: I hate snow. Detest it.
What makes you laugh every single time: The way Grace goes through portals headfirst. I’ve really got to show her an easier way.
If you were a kitchen utensil, you would be: A knife, because I’m bloody good at cutting through bullshit.
Biggest fear: Losing Grace.
Something only your best friend would know: Grace doesn’t remember this, but I once told her how my abilities work, and she made me swear to never, ever use them again. It’s the only time I’ve ever not kept a promise I made her.
3. Hudson used to love carving sculptures, but he hasn’t made anything after that little horse for Jaxon.
Luca: three cheers for king toad! long may he reign
Luca: blastoff!
I can control magic at will with the innate power stored inside me…but I like my pretty eyes. <3
Honestly, all of me is my favorite feature.
Never been, but I’m gonna guess it would be Hudson.
Do I get my nails painted, too? he asks in a faux-excited manner. I’m very intrigued by that hot-pink polish Macy just slipped out of her pocket. As I’m sure you are, he adds wickedly.
Luca: maybe i should buy a tent Liam: Maybe you should buy six tents. Liam: I’m not sleeping with your feet in my face Luca: dude Luca: buy your own damn tent Mekhi: I’m not buying a tent. Byron: Me either. Byron: I don’t sleep on the ground. Liam: There are air mattresses, you know
Rafael: Yeah, you want to be the one telling Jaxon Vega he needs to sleep on an air mattress?
“So in other words, don’t kill Jaxon?”
“Yes, for the love of God, please don’t kill Jaxon. Or anyone else.” “Trust the headmaster to take all the fun out of school,” he replies.
I’m here for Grace and to graduate. Everyone and everything else can go to hell.
She doesn’t think I notice her looking, but that’s just because she still doesn’t understand how attuned to her I am. She breathes and I feel it; she blinks and I hear it. I was in her head for months, and that’s after everything we went through to find each other the first time. There’s nothing she does that I don’t feel in my soul.
Maybe because you keep ripping my heart out of my chest and stomping on it?
“Of course I miss Grace,” I answer. “She’s my mate, and she consistently rips my fucking heart out of my chest. But I’m not brooding. I’m wallowing. There’s a
difference.”
That I am her true north and that as long as she has me, she’ll always find her way.
