Lady of Shadows (Lady of Darkness, #2)

by Melissa K. Roehrich

He would never cage her. He would never ask her to assume a throne, either as queen or at his side, that she did not want. But he also knew that if she returned to Baylorin to stay, he would follow her there. He would follow her to the farthest star.

“As I’ve repeatedly told Sorin, there is no such thing as reading enough.

She would climb down into his pits with him just as he had done for her.

“My home is wherever you are. If you demand I go home, I am already there. Let me in.”

“You promised you would not leave me alone in the darkness. You came for me, and I have come for you. I am yours, and you are mine. Let me in!”

YES YES PLEASE IM IN LOVE ABOUT TO CRY

“Fine. Then I shall sit with you in the darkness. Let me in,”

“There is no you and me,”

“There is you, and there is me.”

“I don’t believe that for one second. We’ve been through ...

“I can find the stars somewhere else with someone who won’t toss me back into the river and shove my head under water when they have a bad day. Someone who won’t treat me like a fucking burden.”

oh fuck scarlett’s STAND ON BUSINESS

see Cyrus at her side, ire on his face. Briar stood next to him, just as furious.

AH THEYRE MAD AT SORIN ON SCARLETTES BEHALF

He was defending Scarlett. Their Princess. Their Queen.

“If she walks away from you, from us, from all of this now, it is entirely your fault,”

LOL they pressed asf that sorin pissed her off since they all want her to stay

She was certain you would let her in. If we had refused, I am certain she would have attempted to kill us both, then she would have clawed her way through every hell to get to you.

went to Eliza’s rooms when we returned. Good luck,”

to have to go up against both eliza and scarlett is going to be comical as hell

“No matter how tomorrow goes, you are not alone,” Eliza replied, “and I do not mean Sorin.”

“No, Scarlett Monrhoe,” he choked out. “You are anything but a punishment. You are a bright star I do not deserve.”

blood of a god,

If scarlett has god blood in her from her dads side ill scream

“What is she worth to you? Would you damn the entire world to save her?”

“I told myself that if you came for me, I would play that song. That even though you have the power to utterly destroy me, I would still give you this piece of my soul.

Why am i fucking crying

“I told myself that even if you did not want it, there is still no one else I want to share it with. I do not care if that makes me stupid or naïve, but even after everything you said to me, I still want you to be that person for me. I still choose you.”

I am honored and humbled that you still offer me something...

“You are not a punishment. You are not a burden. You are the brightest star in my darkest of skies. You are my necessity.”

“I am yours, and you are mine,”

I hope you find your twin flame some day, but until then, I claim you.”

I claim you. As my mirror. As my kindred soul. If you will have me as yours.”

THIS IS DIABOLICAL HOW ARE YOU SO DENSE BB YOU ARE HIS TWIN FLAME AND FFS SORIN TELL HER

shadows always return to the darkness,”

“You really hit him in the face?”

“Yes, Sunshine. Hard enough he spat blood.”

“Next time please just lock yourself in my rooms, and allow me to kick his ass for you,”

Eliza bbg i love you

she snapped as she pulled Scarlett into a fierce hug.

Fuck i love found family trope

Sorin’s face went from unimpressed to displeased. The others all snickered, and Scarlett’s cheeks turned slightly pink at whatever it was he said.

She stiffened for a moment, then relaxed against his chest. Her arms came up around his neck. Her head rested on his shoulder. He said nothing as the Wraith let him hold her for the first time in months.

Ugh theyre just like dorian and aelin i love them

“I still choose you, Sorin. I can’t picture a world without you in it. I do not want to be in a place where I shut you out.

I want no one else to come for me. I want it to always be you.”

“My home is wherever you are. There will never be a world where there is not a you and me because should you be ripped from me in this world, I will cross them all to find you. I will always find you. I will always come for you. I will always choose you. I will always want you.”

“Some day, Love, we will find another use for that wicked tongue of yours,”

If they dont find this damn way theyve beeb teasing for a book and half SOON i will RIOT

Death’s Maiden locked up tight.

omg is her dad like the vampire king or something

None of them challenged me the way you do. None of them made me want to be a better person, a better ruler, the way you do.”

There will always be people vying for your attention and places to run to, but it is just as important to take the time to look at the stars and feel the sun on your face and enjoy good food with excellent company,”

“My dear Scarlett,” he purred, coming up behind her, “when shall we find a better use for that wicked tongue of yours?”

“Oh Prince, you shall find out just how wicked I can be when you see what I’m wearing out tonight.”

the first time I take you, I want you completely aware of every single way I worship you.”

“You are mine, and I am yours, but what are you to me? What am I to you?”

“You are a Queen. You do not need permission to do anything and certainly not from a male. You make the choices that will affect you and your people, and you make them without regret. You choose, and you handle the consequences, whatever they may be. You do not look back, only forward. Now make your choice.”

who you are depends on who you want to be.”

“that you know my son and that it is time for him to return.”

OMFG HER SON IS CASSIUS

“Your son is Cassius.”

“And then?”

“Then we are going to set the world on fire,”
