“The world isn’t ready to see who I would become if this—” his thumb pressed on her pounding pulse “—ever stops.”
A twinge of guilt moved through her, for the one soul she would leave behind, but she shook her head. She was not worth knowing. It was for the best.
“You have been, you are, and you will always be my only obsession, Luna Caine.”
She needed to feel safe to heal, and no one would make her feel safer than he would. Because they had conscience, morals, ethics, and he? He had her.
And after what they had done, The Syndicate was going to fucking burn.
“Exactly. I’m always behind you, even when you cannot see.”
“Because you’re mine!” She slammed her hands on the table, standing up. “You’re the only person, the only thing in this entire world that is mine!” Her chest heaving, she glared at him. “My killer, my stalker, my lover. The thought of sharing your obsession makes me sick to my stomach.

“If there was any love in this world of mine, Lyla, it would be you.”
Just you and I. You need me to glow and I need you to exist. It’s simple as that.”
“If you ever choose another, make sure you kill me first. Because I—” he bent to whisper against her lips “—will annihilate the fucking world before I let you go.”
“You’re the oxygen that feeds my flames—without you, my existence is questionable.”
her eyes shining. “I think I’m in love with you.” He brushed his nose against hers, his eyes soft on her. “I know that you are.”
I found my own file.”
“I’d been bred to an underage girl by a man in his thirties,”
My sire—” She held her breath. “—was a Syndicater at the time.” Speechless.
“I am the prince of this hell in every way. Fitting, isn’t it?”
"Xander is with your brother."
He wasn't a believer, but she was his miracle.
