Kindle Notes & Highlights
“I told you that we were bound for all eternity, my darling. We were always going to find you. You’re our beating heart,”
“I would do all this and more for you, Baby Girl. I’d burn the whole motherfucking world to the ground if you asked me to,”
“I’ll bring you to the surface, my love. Or drown with you. But you are not alone. You don’t need to fight this by yourself.”
“You’re smart, beautiful, funny, and a wonderful person who isn’t afraid to take on four broken boys and make them into men.”
“That’s because you are a warrior queen, made to shed the blood of our enemies,” he tells me, a fierce pride in his tone as one hand comes up to stroke down the side of my face. “And you are perfect, Lilly Vanderbilt. Just right for us.” A shiver runs down my spine at his words, my inner demon preening at his praise and acceptance. After all, what better way to defeat the monsters that plague us than by becoming monstrous ourselves?
These are the hands that will help you to hold your family as one. These are the hands that will give you strength when you need it. And lastly, these are the hands that even when wrinkled and aged, will still be reaching for yours, still giving you the same unspoken tenderness with just a touch.’
“You were my light when there was only darkness, Sweetheart,” Kai begins, and my eyes stare into his honey brown ones, the image wavering at the edges with my unshed tears. “You showed me that there was something to hope for, that I could be loved. You are my soul, my heart, and my light.”
“I knew that you would change my life, our lives, from the first moment that you stepped out of that shower,” he tells me, his emerald eyes glowing in the sun. “I just never knew how much you would become a part of me. You are buried so deep inside, Pretty Girl, that if they were to cut me in half you would be there too, in every part of me.”
“You are mine, Baby Girl, and I am yours until we draw our last breaths on this cursed earth. And even then I’ll fucking hold your soul to ransom and I dare anyone to take it away from me.”
“You are the best part of me, Princess. You taught me how to love again, how to live again, how to breathe again. You arrived like a shooting star, burning all the bad that came your way and leaving only good. We were destined, it was written in the stars that we would be together, and I will never stop worshipping you, never stop thanking whatever god decided that I was worthy of you.”
“You all gave me love at a time when I’d lost everything. You gave me hope when I felt hopeless. You gave me back the parts of myself that I never knew were missing. You captured my heart, we are all bound together for eternity, and I never want to be released from your love.”
