Kindle Notes & Highlights
“After what we’ve just learned, it wasn’t hard to guess that you were beating yourself up. I would have done the same. But if I’ve learned anything, it’s that blaming yourself for being a normal person and screwing up isn’t helpful. Acknowledge, learn, and grow from the mistakes. If you continue to be your own worst enemy, you’ll never rise and claim your future.”
“But only if you fight for it. The path to light will not come easily. But if you want it hard enough, you’ll make it in the end.”
“You have given me the greatest gift a fae or male could ask for,” Len said seriously. “A gift that I will protect with my life. You’re both my family, and there’s not an ounce of disappointment. Only joy.”
“As long as there is life in my veins, I will defend what is mine. We have our strengths, and I do not diminish yours. Pick your battles, little Storm.” He paused, reaching out as if to touch my face before he refrained. “For there are some you’ll never win against me.”
“I promise,” he continued, “to not allow your insecurities to break us before we have a chance. I might have only just found you, Sam, but I’m already certain about one thing: you are mine.”
“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.
I nodded, lowering my voice. “If we reach the end and she’s not there, make sure I don’t hurt the others. Get them the fuck out of here before I bring it all down around us.”
