“True strength, Lady of Darkness, is being brave in the hard seasons. True strength is getting back up one more time. True strength is believing you were made for such a time as this and fighting against all odds. True strength is having hope even when the stars go out.”
“Get up, Lady of Darkness. Hope is for the dreamers.”
“She’s my twin flame.”
“Here, Scarlett. Keep your eyes right here.”
“You came for me?”
“I will always come for you.”
She was a storm he didn’t know that he’d survive.
You are no one’s object to be kept in a room.”
My allegiance, Scarlett Monrhoe, is to you, as it was to your mother. I told you I would not leave you alone, so I did not return without you. If you do not want to rule or be queen, that is fine. The choice is always yours, but I will always stand in your court. Always.”
“Let me show you your home, Love.”
“I will live wherever I need to live so that you are not alone,”
he stilled at the cruel smile that spread across Sorin’s face.
“Make her feel like a whore again, and you will learn exactly what it means to be a prisoner in my home. Do I make myself clear?”
STAND ON BUSINESS BABY
“And when the storm is unending? When the waves are unrelenting?”
“Rage, Scarlett. Rage and scream and cry and fall apart. You are allowed to feel and do all those things, but you do not stop fighting. You do not give up. You become a bigger storm,”
“You only drown if you stay in the river. Let him pull you to the shore. It is okay to let yourself be rescued sometimes, Scarlett,”
“I assure you, Darling, you wouldn’t know the first thing to do with me and my darkness,”
Her eyes were fixed on the golden eyes of the Prince of Fire, where she saw nothing but home.
“I will always come for you, Scarlett,”
You welcomed the cage when it came because it let you breathe for the first time in a long time.”
“We want you home, Seastar, but we can wait for you. You are worth the wait.”
“I will not cage her.”
“Come now, Princess, you must not want to kiss me again that badly,”
What I find amusing is that your fear is of my magic.”
“My magic should be the least of your concerns.”
“When you learn who had your mother killed, then you will know the answer to that.”
Alaric??
“I would rather be by your side on your adventures than behind you in your protection.”
“This is only a glimpse of who I am, Callan, and you can hardly stand to face it. The light is easy to love, isn’t it? But what of the darkness? What would you do with all of me?”
“Show me your darkness, and I’ll show you mine, Darling.”
“We all have shadows, Scarlett. We all have nightmares. We all have regrets. We all have darkness. You get to decide how much control that darkness gets over you.”
“Most do not understand that the darkness can be beautiful, but you don’t learn that until you’ve come to understand that the darkness is not something to defeat but something to befriend. All stars are born in the dark, Scarlett. The darkness allows us to see them. You decide if they are worth fighting for.”
The stars are always worth fighting for.”
“I am never too busy for you,”
Thia was his twin flame.”
Bro my fucking heart
despite whatever hell you are forced to endure, there are still things worth living for.”
“This is my family,”
I’ve been telling you for years we needed another female in the family.”
“We could hardly handle one of you, dear Eliza. Two ought to be most enjoyable.”
“I think you might be mine though,”
screaming WHY DID SHE FALL ASLEEP RIGHT AFTER
“It is okay if some days the only thing you manage to do is survive. That is okay.”
“I don’t want to just survive any more. I want to live. I want to feel something other than…this.”
“Do not for one second think that you do not matter.”
“I will never stop, Scarlett. I will never stop telling you that you matter and that you make a difference. I will never stop telling you that you are a necessity in my life, and I sure as shit will be sure and say it extra on the hard days.”
“Thank you, Sorin.”
“For what?”
“For pulling me from the rive...
This highlight has been truncated due to consecutive passage length restrictions.
“Today I’m going to do more than just survive.” The arm wrapped around her squeezed gently. “But on the hard days, promise me that you’ll pull me from the river.”
“Always, Love,” he answered. “I promise I will always pull you from the river and help you find the stars.”
“You, Scarlett Monrhoe, will never stop being a necessity in my life.”
“Accepting forgiveness offered when it is not requested is often harder than asking for it.
