Kindle Notes & Highlights
Keith Brown, I have not forgotten the time you sang Mississippi Girl instead of telling me there was a panther in the woods with us, nor have I forgotten that you never returned my favorite pen. Count your fucking days.

Most people thought it odd that a twenty-five-year-old still lived with their parents,
In this economy? Girl I get it
“Listen to me Aurora, do not let him fool you; his darkness is poison. Only the golden child can save you.”
Two were one, and one is yours. Do not let him fool you. His darkness is poison. Only the golden child can save you.
“Dume?” she asked, forcing herself to stay calm, but deep down, she knew what this was. Dume shook his head and brought his fist to his mouth before speaking in a broken voice, “Aurora Raven, you are under arrest for the murder of Jasper Witlow and the suspected murders of twelve others.”
“I had my reasons, though I’m sure they aren’t good enough to excuse what I’ve done.” Her voice warbled. “I love you, and tell Kordie I love her, too.” She turned to Dume, who was staring at her with so much pain on his face, it almost brought her to her knees. “And you, please don’t let my mother suffer because of me.”
While seeing him in color was a shock, it wasn’t what left her speechless. She didn’t know much about the notorious Umbra King, but what she did know was ten years ago she watched him murder her sister.
His anger was barely leashed when he said, “Who did this to you?” He visually inspected the bruises on her limbs, touching each one with his golden gaze.
YEEEESSSSSS
Tell me who did this to you, or I will raze the entire fucking town to the ground.” His face was inches from hers as his rage enveloped her, and she closed her eyes to separate herself from him. “Look at me,” he demanded. “I am not one to make empty threats.”
“The next time someone lays a finger on you, their death belongs to me.”
Rory was his eternal mate.
“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. “What do I look like to you?”
“She’s my Aeternum,” Caius said as he slammed open Samyaza’s door. “Did you know?”
“Because if I had her, truly had her, I wouldn’t let anything separate me from her, including death,”
“You are a fool.” He stopped on his way out the door. “Do not treat her like she is beneath you. She is your equal, and while you may not want her, she deserves to be treated as such.”
Sam set the vase on her dresser and said, “You need to get better.” Rory started to flip him off but remembered the last time she did and decided better of it. “I believe the phrase you are looking for is, ‘Get better soon.’” “No, I said what I meant,” he replied
“I would set this entire realm ablaze to keep you safe, and if you think I’m bluffing, you haven’t been paying attention.”
“It was inevitable. Your soul calls to mine and mine to yours. We couldn’t fight this if we tried.”
“I can’t wait for all of Erdikoa to know The Butcher is the new Prison Queen. Fitting.”
“What was that?” Rory muttered under her breath. “That,” Linda said, “was a delusional girl coming unraveled.”
They say trauma makes people funnier.
“Never lock me out again. I will always make your tears my own. We’re in this together.”
