God of Wrath (Legacy of Gods, #3)

by Rina Kent

I didn’t only trespass on private property. I might have trespassed into the devil’s lair.

Cecily is neither. She’s the gray. She’s the colors. She’s every rainbow I never thought to stop and watch.

I kiss her because this is the only way I can show her how much different she is for me and how much her absence affected me.

I’m powerful despite handing over my power. He doesn’t abuse it and makes me feel safe in his arms.

“I’m not a nice man, Cecily. I won’t pretend otherwise, or I’d be doing you and myself a disservice. What I am, however, is someone who’ll slaughter your demons one by one until you’re finally free of them. I’ll touch your scars

until you normalize them and can live with them, because they’re part of what makes you who you are.”

She calms the beast I spent years hiding beneath the surface. She tames and placates him like no one else has been able to.

Once upon a time, she picked me as her knight, and I chose her as my queen.

“No one will hurt you anymore, Cecily. You have my word.”

I’d rather remain a beast for you than become a man who has to survive without you.”
