Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Never dim your shine for someone who thinks they’re going to be burned by your greatness. The right person for you will put on sunglasses and bask in your glow.”
“Roses are red, violets are blue, here comes Alina, and she’s going to kill you,”
But then he set me on my feet just outside of the doors and gripped my chin tightly. “Be a good girl, okay?” All the reasons I couldn’t cross that line with him went out the window with those five words. Fuck, why did being called a good girl do it for me?
“What do you want me to say, Alina? Do you want me to say that I want to rip the eyes out of anyone else who might’ve walked in and seen you this morning?”
“As I suspected,” he murmured. “You weren’t operating at your highest potential because of malnourishment.”
“I was going to ask if you were planning to be a good girl tonight, or if you were going to make my life a living hell. I guess I have a clear answer to that question.”
After all, a girl had to keep it classy, not trashy, but just a little bit nasty.
“Yes, I’m sure. I need blood before class starts, unless we want a repeat of me losing myself as I pummeled Maya into the ground.” “To be fair,” Andrei said, “with your track record, there’s a pretty good chance you might still do that, even with a full stomach.”
“Why are you distraught over this revelation, Alina? It’s a wondrous moment that so few ever get to experience. In all my centuries of life, I’ve searched relentlessly for the Queen for my board, and I’ve finally found you.”
“Because I’m Alina Van Helsing, and I swore vengeance for the slaughter of my family.” My chest burned with the words, throat aching with the sobs tearing from it. I heaved shaky, deep breaths, hands shaking as I asked, desperation fueling the frenzied question, “Why can’t I kill you?” “Fated mates can never kill each other, Alina,” he breathed out. And with those words, my soul died.
