Broken Fae (Ruthless Boys of the Zodiac, #4)

by Caroline Peckham

He was the sun and I was the moon, but instead of circling each other we’d finally found a way to come together and now that we had, we’d never be torn apart again.

“Le parole non possono descrivere la tua bellezza, amore mio,”

"Mi manchi come al sole mancano tutte le stelle e la luna quando affonda oltre l'orizzonte,"

“There is only one person who can run rings around a king, Elise,” he said slowly. “Let alone four of them at once.” “Oh yeah?” I joked. “And who’s that?” “A queen. So maybe it’s time you started thinking about what good you want to do now that you’ve been crowned.”

"I'm a good friend, Ryder. Whether you want me as one or not. Whatever you say, it won't leave this shed just like the ghost of the kids who died in here."

"For the longest time, I've been a weapon for the Lunar Brotherhood. Elise made me want to be the Fae I was before all that. Now she's gone and I can't forget what she made me feel. With her, I started to think I didn't have to just be a weapon anymore. At least before I met her, I didn't care that I had nothing in my heart. Now, I can't get back to that. Now I feel too much and I can't turn it off. I've tried every spell and cure and potion I know, but this pain makes me bleed inside every day. It won't go away."

She was always waiting on the edges of my mind and whenever I let my focus slip, she was there. La ragazza che brillava più luminosa delle stelle.

“Vorrei poterti tenere.” He moved to lay beside me and I turned my head towards him, opening my eyes slowly so that I could see the storm whirling within his. “I missed you, Dante,” I breathed and a smile touched his lips as he lay there on his back, his head turned my way so that we mirrored each other. “Non me ne sono mai andato.”

And I can’t even blame them for doing as he says. In fact, I’ve made it clear to every member of my pack that if he does it to them, I won’t hold them responsible for turning against me when I come to claim his head. How can I? Faremmo qualsiasi cosa per le persone che amiamo.”

“Mi dispiace amore mio.”

Where we used to watch the sky, you’ll find the wings you need to fly...

"No, bella. You're a queen among men and the sooner you realise that the better.

There's magic in you more powerful than the stars themselves."

"You're always so strong, Dante," I breathed, looking down at him from my position a few steps above him. "You know you don't have to be with me, right? Not if you don't want to be. You can crack and shatter and break and I’ll hold you through it all until you're ready to build yourself back up again. You can lean on me, rely on me, ask anything of me that you need and I'll be there to offer it up."

"If I take a bite of you, I'm going to want to take it all. You're too irresistible, amore mio."

"I will always look after you, Elise. Which means, I won’t see you go thirsty. If you have no self-control then I'll have it for you. I'll make sure the only thing you take from me is blood."

"Gareth sarà per sempre nel tuo cuore,"

"No one will ever hurt you while I draw breath, Elise," he swore. "My heart is yours and my strength is too. Never doubt that, no matter what way the rest of this plays out."

"To death and back, Dante," I agreed, giving his words back to him as I reached across to take his hand and he let me have it. "Always."

"The stars might have mated me to Leon, but that doesn't mean I see you as any less permanent than him. It doesn't mean I want you any less, or love you any less either."

There was no price too high to pay for my vengeance.

"The stars put us together for a reason, little monster. You and me are as unstoppable as the rising sun. So let's go show them what happens when they try to fuck with our boyfriends." He grinned at me widely, the thrill of the fight alive in his golden eyes and making the silver ring around them flash devilishly. "Come on then, Leo. Let's give them hell."

"So I won't make that promise, Ryder, because I would risk everything for him in a heartbeat. Just like I would for all of you. So if you want to make sure I don't have to take chances like that with my life then I suggest we go kill Felix Oscura."

"Let's go kill that piece of shit."

My piccola lupa, my lupa alfa.

"A morte, Dante. Ma tu non tornerai."
