Kindle Notes & Highlights
To those who feel forgotten and betrayed. To the lonely hearts who feel love will never find them. To the broken souls who believe they can’t be mended.
Status had once separated her from the female slave kneeling in the mud. Now, nothing did. Nothing except the fact that Arianna wasn’t a half-breed at all. She was a daughter of Móirín. A pureblood. Royalty.
The Fairy Folk were gathering. One by one they inched closer to her dancing form, playing in the ripples. He thought he saw her smile. Arianna reached down and to his utmost surprise, they reached back. His lips parted as she picked one up, speaking to it in hushed tones, and for the first time in his existence, Rion found himself believing in fairytales.
“You just have to trust me.” He let out a breath, showering her in his scent. “You ask the one thing I find impossible.” His eyes remained locked with hers. Hungry. Full of desire. “But I can try.”
“The Divine and the Cursed. How fitting.” He stepped back and started toward the cabin, glancing behind to see if she’d follow. She did, her entire body flushed from their brief, yet intense encounter. Arianna couldn’t help but smile. Rion. The general of Brónach’s army. Her greatest enemy and the most feared warrior in Alastríona had just kissed her.
Never in his life had he felt rage like what coursed through him now. Not when his father’s loving gaze turned cold. Not when the male who promised to protect him lied. And not when a female he’d developed feelings for put a knife in his back. No. This was something new. Like white-hot lightning pulsing through his veins. His clenched his fists. Someone had taken her from him. Someone had taken his Arianna. And he’d ensure their suffering rivaled his own.
And he’d never leave again. To hell with the war. To hell with his country. The only thing he needed was sleeping right beside him.
Arianna didn’t know what her future would hold. She didn’t know how hard it would be to keep Rion in her life, but she knew one thing with utmost certainty. No matter what challenges they’d have to face, she wanted this male at her side. “I want you.”
