Kindle Notes & Highlights
Ten years ago Rory watched through a window as her sister was brutally murdered, setting in motion Rory’s path to becoming one of the most prolific serial killers in all of Erdikoa.
Then she labeled the tags and put them away according to color.
Tht would suckkkkk
Merrows were soul stealers, and their abilities were supposed to be bound by the Crown, but somehow, his weren’t.
Merrows used souls to heal themselves if they were hurt or to extend their lives as they aged.
That asshole would pay.
Jessie’s eyes tracked down Rory’s body, and his brows rose as he leaned on the door frame. “Why?”
Hes very confident and masculine
“I would never let anything happen to you, you know that,” he told her. “I would have to be dead before someone hurt you.”
He lovesssss her
“Not even a friend with goodies?” her mother asked, pouring syrup over her own pancakes.
Mom knows whats up
“Listen to me Aurora, do not let him fool you; his darkness is poison. Only the golden child can save you.”
Her insinuation was clear, and the man’s face lit up like a teenager seeing a girl’s tits for the first time.
Sylph. Sylphs manipulated air, and she wondered if he was skilled enough to use it in bed. Some were.
Oh shittt
“Yes,” he admitted. “But I’ve studied what to do.” Not well enough if he couldn’t find the clit.
DEAD
Without another word, she cleaned herself, dressed, and slammed the door on her way out.
I love this girl already
There were only three Royals in the realms; Gedeon, the Lux King, who controlled light; Adila, the Scales of Justice, judge of the guilty, and Caius, the Umbra King, who controlled shadows.
Historical texts state there had once been a fourth Royal, Atarah, who ruled over Erdikoa as the Lux Queen, but Caius murdered her, caught standing over her body, soaked in blood with his dagger in hand.
It was obvious his sister knew this woman would tempt him because physically, Aurora was everything he sought in a partner when he could still move freely between the two realms.
“Say what you want about her, but I think she’s a hero.”
“Your soul is a beautiful shade of grey, Miss Raven.”
If there was more evidence Rory wasn’t the heartless killer the news made her out to be, he would find it. He had to find it.
Sam entered quietly. “Eat,” he commanded and shoved the plate he’d made into her hands.
“My eyes are up here, Miss Raven,” he drawled. Damn him.
“I killed my own sister, Miss Raven. Why are you surprised?”
Holy fuckkkk
She yelped when he backed her into a wall, and a shadow squeezed her throat lightly. “You couldn’t handle the way I fuck, Miss Raven.” Her chest was heaving when he stepped back and turned. “Seemed pretty basic to me,” she mumbled, rubbing her throat.
“He told me to call him Sam,” she said defensively. “And he is nice to me.” Kind of. She wasn’t sure he liked her much. “Interesting,” Caius murmured. “I think we’re done for today.”
Does sam have a thing for her? Caius jelly!?
The king may hate her, but he was attracted to her, too. Nothing brought down a man’s defenses like sex.
Sam looked skeptical but said nothing. They may have been best friends, but at the end of the day Caius was in charge.
I feel like sam knows a lot more than hes putting out
Nina’s face screwed up, and she lunged, but Rory was faster. Her hand was around Nina’s neck in an instant, and she squeezed, reveling at the fear in the maid’s eyes.
Nina is such a little bitch
“I don’t know what your dress looks like, but I already want to fuck you in it,” Cat offered.
Dead love her
He stood and disappeared through the arch as she lay panting on the ground, staring at the starry sky.
TALK ABOUT FOREPLAY!
It was never Bellina leaving her food—it was Caius.
This woman would be the end of him.
Because he called her Rory.
“It is the only thing that matters. Tell me who did this to you, or I will raze the entire fucking town to the ground.” His
His chest heaved once before he stepped back. “The next time someone lays a finger on you, their death belongs to me.”
Fuckkkk
“Your pain belongs to me.”
“As does your pleasure.”
Jesusssss
Rory was his eternal mate.
I love me a mating bond
“What do you see when you look at me?” “An asshole,” she replied. Her answer was immediate, and he frowned. “That was rude,” he muttered.
“She’s my Aeternum,” Caius said as he slammed open Samyaza’s door. “Did you know?”
“If you wanted to see me naked, Miss Raven, all you had to do was ask.”
“Excuse me, Your Grace. I didn’t expect to see a penis today.”
“I wouldn’t make someone pay for their own work clothes, but thank you for reminding me how little you think of me.”
“If you’d stop being a prick to her, she might end up liking you,” Sam said as he pulled an entire banana out of his pocket. “How did you fit a banana in your pants?” “My pants already carry something much larger.” Sam grinned as he peeled the fruit and took a large bite.
“We both know it was Gedeon,” Sam replied. “The question is why?”
WHO IS THAT
“Are you trying to get the king to fuck you?”
“My name,” he clarified. “Say it again. It will be good practice for when you scream it later.”
This guy is fucking great
“The king will give you the day off. If anyone understands how hard losing people is, it’s him.”
He didn’t love her, not yet, but one day he would.
“Are you shitting me?” Sam’s brows furrowed. “Shitting you? That is disgusting. No, I am not shitting you.”
I freakin love sam
“We all go through tough situations; it’s the nature of life. Doesn’t mean we get to be twats to everyone.”
