What Hunts Inside the Shadows (Of Flesh & Bone, #2)

by Harper L. Woods

I wouldn’t even have done this to a Fae. I wouldn’t have degraded and demeaned any living being in such a way, but they did it to me—one of their own. To someone who could have been a friend under different circumstances.

“Your essence flows down the bond between us—light and good, tainted by my darkness. But at your core, there is this well of beauty that flows from you. You don’t love easy, but you do love hard. And I have spent centuries feeling you fall in love with men who didn’t deserve you. Feeling your heart flutter for men who would never have been able to give you what your soul craved in the end, and knowing that, I was trapped on the other side of the Veil waiting for you. Just waiting for centuries to be able to hold you.”

“It is time for the stars in the sky to rest for the day, Little One, and that means the star I hold in my arms must rise,”

I want to fuck you while you’re covered in the blood and death of our enemies who thought they could take you from me.”
