Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, #1)

by Rebecca Yarros

A dragon without its rider is a tragedy. A rider without their dragon is dead.

Well dayum

“Stay the hell away from Xaden Riorson.”

She gon fuck

“Why would I waste my energy killing you when the parapet will do it for me?” A wicked smile curves his lips. “Your turn.”

Oooooof

I have a whopping six months under my belt, which wouldn’t matter as much if I wasn’t as breakable as a porcelain teacup, but here we are.

I GET IT UR SMOL

“Fascinating. You look all frail and breakable, but you’re really a violent little thing, aren’t you?”

Okkkkkk jesus

“Going for blood today, are we, Violence?”

Ughhh that nickname isawful

“My name is Violet,” I seethe. “I think my version fits you better.”

CRINGE

You are not attracted to toxic men, I remind myself, and yet, here I am, getting all attracted.

Girl same

“She could use a little less protection and a little more instruction.” Xaden stares Dain down until he nods.

Ok tell his ass kingggg

“Guess the dragons think she’s insufferable, too,” Ridoc mutters.

Lmaoooo fr

“They’re a mated pair, Tairn and Sgaeyl. The strongest bonded pair in centuries.”

ofc they are

It was everything I’ve ever wanted…except… Shit. I don’t want it anymore.

Bc dain is a whole BITCH

“The closest translation for humans is probably ‘for fuck’s sake.’ Now. Are you going to stay in your seat this time?”

Lmaoooooo hes sassy af

“The reason we’ll never be anything more than friends isn’t because of your rules. It’s because you have no faith in me. Even now, when I’ve survived against all odds and bonded not just one dragon but two, you still think I won’t make it.

Tell himmmmmm bitch

“You’re all fucking dead.” His voice is eerily calm and all the scarier for it.

YESSSSSS KING

“Not at all. Just one of the perks of not thinking too clearly. You have incredibly touchable skin.”

what a weird fucking comment ok silence of the lambs

“Violence,” he moans, and the sound of the nickname on his lips makes me ravenous.

WHY IS HE MOANING VIOLENCE IM ICKED TF OUT

“Do you boys just want to whip it out and measure? It would be faster.”

Omfggggg

Tairn roars with the unmistakable sound of pride. “Lightning wielder.”

Thats badass as fuck

I get anywhere near you, and this is what happens. Instantly hard. Fucking hell, I can barely think when you’re around.”

FINALLY

“Well, then start there. Ground in your power and try to feel whatever it was you were feeling.” He goes back to his notebook. “Should I get the wingleader?” Tairn flat-out laughs in my head.

Lmaooooo sassy dragon

“Then I guess I’ll ignore the memory of how hot and slick you feel around my cock, and how you cry out for more until all I can think about is how to push every physical limit to be exactly what you need.”

SIR?????

And when others are quick to stand in front of me, Xaden always stands at my side, trusting me to hold my own.

Thats why i STANNNNN

Oh gods. Dain read my memories without my permission. He must have told his father to where they’ve been sneaking off. I’ve unknowingly betrayed Xaden…betrayed them all.

Ill murder him
