Kindle Notes & Highlights
This is dedicated to everyone who dreamed of marrying a charming and powerful fae prince. While secretly hoping he’d rail you against a bathroom wall until you screamed his name. On repeat.
Shadow let out a rumbling growl. “Samantha has a memory block. This is what we were trying to lift when you threw your temper tantrum.” A burst of laughter escaped Mera, remaining even as her mate shot her a dark look. “No, no, sorry. I just… karma is fun.” Shadow huffed. “I don’t throw temper tantrums, Sunshine. I command and everyone fucking obeys.” Mera’s lips were pressed hard together as if that would stop the next snort of laughter. Shadow shook his head, ignoring his spluttering mate.
“You are whatever the hell you want to be. Don’t let genetics dictate your happiness. Don’t let anything dictate it. You walk in there, head held high, and you show them why the fates chose you for their prince. Princesses might be born, but queens are made. So yes, you’re right. You’re no princess… you’re a damn queen.”
No one should ever accept the bottom of the barrel; we all had strengths beyond what we believed. We just had to be brave enough to take that first step. Queen energy, here I come.
“When I open a book, it feels like opening a treasure chest. You never know what you’ll uncover. An adventure without even having to leave your house.”
“You will,” Shadow said with a growl. “You’re going to live forever, as per my damn wishes,
“Hold her,” he said. “If I don’t fall, follow as soon as possible.” The hold her made sense a beat later when strong arms banded across my chest and I was lifted about seventy billion feet from the ground. I didn’t even try to fight. It was Shadow holding me after all, the spark of his power painful as it zapped my skin. I wouldn’t waste my energy fighting against a god when I’d need that strength to kick a motherfucking fae prince’s ass.
“Us,” Mera chimed in. “We’re the strongest pack you could hope for, and with that in mind, maybe we need to, like, Captain Planet this shit.” Now it was her turn for everyone to stare at her. “Who is Captain Planet?” Shadow asked. “And should I kill him for knowing my mate?” Mera burst into laughter. “The fact that I find your possessive alpha bullshit sexy as fuck probably says more about my mental state than yours.
Aurora remained where she was, arms wrapped around Tabitha, the pair very content in my hold as I cuddled them close. Shadow’s eye was twitching, but it appeared that since his daughter was now choosing who to zap to, he could no longer tear the arms off anyone who touched her.
“Mera has been renovating and adding rooms to the library like you wouldn’t believe. I haven’t even seen Shadow grimace about it. What his Sunshine wants, his Sunshine gets.”
We turned to find Simone and Lucien at the table, watching Aurora and Tabitha, who were working together on a puzzle. I wouldn’t have been remotely surprised to wander over there and find they’d solved world hunger or some shit. They were most definitely the powerful, change the world types.
