Between Despair and Hope (The Divine Between, #2)

by Jess Wisecup

And as for Elora being his blood, well, Shivani, when two people love each other, sometimes—”

Dewalt please never change

“Yes, and I brought her back, and I killed the fucking Folterran king while doing it! Must I kill another king? I’ve always had to do everything on my own. What’s one more thing to add to the list? You are a gutless, spineless coward. Get out, Shivani. Get out!“

YESSSSSSSSSS

But if she never woke, what did that count for? It didn’t matter if a gods damned seer told him to do it. It was unforgivable.

Thank you Dewalt! Im glad someone else is thinking this

“Listen, I am not a smart man. If I could shove my foot any deeper into my mouth, it’d shoot out my ass.”

Sterling came running down the hallway, dressed in a striped nightgown which fell to his knees. If I had time, I would have made fun of him.

Alright rude lol

I hoped if I hit her enough, the blows would kill the shifter bitch. She was unconscious when the brute came in to pull me off her. Unfortunately, her chest still rose with a breath.

Thats my man <33

“Do you think you’ll always be this angry?” “Do birds sing?”

me

“So, how is this supposed to work? I tell you my favorite color, you teach me how to fish? You send me to my room if I’m rude to Mama? My last father already taught me how to fish.”

Oh my god lol

“Nothing you can come up with on the spot will be enough. I might not have been doing what was best for the kingdom before,” I said, voice clipped and precise, “but now, I am doing what is best for me and my family. You need to leave.”

<33

“Just—You can’t tease me like this, alright? I have left you alone, done what you asked of me. And I’ll keep doing it. But don’t make me think I’m getting you back when I’m not,”

Thats honestly very fair

I saw Dewalt standing over me, holding the severed head of the man who’d just tried to kill me.

Thats my man <33

“I am not strong enough for this, for this distance between us. I am not strong enough,”

I am going to beat Rains ass, it’s on sight

I fell in love with her while showing her the stars, and I’ll love her until the last one falls from the sky.”

“This shouldn’t come as a surprise to you, b-but you were my first kiss, and I bet it would be better if you let me try again.”

Nice smooth move Theo lol

“You may speak when spoken to.” A low growl made its way up his throat before he said, soft as velvet, “A dangerous way to speak to a man, dear heart.”

I didn’t want to die. I just didn’t want to live. That difference meant something, and I wasn’t sure why.

“There hasn’t been a gods damn moment since I’ve met you when you haven’t been too much. You eclipse the fucking sun, Em.

There was something to be said about feeling like a caretaker of someone else’s happiness; it could make you forget about your own.

That’s why I’ve stayed away from you—because a world without you in it is one I would lay waste to and have no remorse.”

“It’s not your home anymore. Places we used to call ours never feel quite the same once we’ve left.”

my man is speaking nothing but straight facts

While thoughts of my sister’s grave being robbed—her gods damn skull missing along with her jewelry

Im sorry.. HER SKULL?!

I had to wonder if any parent had any idea what they were doing. Were we all just trying to do better than our own?

“I shouldn’t have hit you, Dewalt. But you—” “Ah, ah. Anything after a ‘but’ undoes the apology, Your Majesty.”

Get his ass Dewalt lol

“I wish you could be my queen, want it to be you. I could see you wearing a crown.”

Younger Rain is going to make me cry

“By cursing me to think of your lips when it’s the last gods damned thing I should think about. You’re part of the Myriad, and—” “And you blame them for her death,” she finished. “Yes.”

Oh they are for sure going to bang

“It’s not going to work, Rainy.”

I swear to god that if all three of them get captured , i will throw my kindle

“I’m sorry,” the shifter begged, body writhing. “He made me do it!” “May the gods forgive you then,” I said, as I plunged the blade through the back of her neck.

QUEEN SHIT

“I’m fucking tired, mouse.”

I swear if he dies. I wont be able to handle it

“Zaph. The—the note in your book. The one Larke wrote to a friend? I couldn’t place it, not until now. The Supreme’s true name is Zaphus.”

WHAT!!!!!!

“The Supreme?” Em asked. “He marches with her.”

I KNEW THAT MFER WAS SHADY
