Kindle Notes & Highlights
Bright emerald eyes turned toward me. His deep, husky voice rumbled across the forest, caressing my ears. “Do you not wish to come out and play, darling?”
“I AM the stars and the moon.”
“I have heard many beautiful sounds in my long life, but your laughter is a song from the Heavens. Lucky the world would be if it could hear its melody more often.”
He reached forward and cupped my chin. His gaze softened, and there was something new there. His voice drummed, a low and steady song. “Every dark night sky could use more stars like you.”
“Despair is momentary, but scars are forever. You should take care of your body.” His voice dropped, and his next words purred with intent. “Precious things should be taken care of.”
“When I first met you, I was dazzled by your gaze. Such passion burned in your eyes that it stunned me into silence. So do not cower in front of weaker men, because you are greater than them. If anyone dares to harm you, use this dagger and show them the irresistibly cunning woman you are.”
“Zurilya,” he growled, “bite my shoulder, stab me, if you must. But if ever you bite my ear again, I swear to the Moon Goddess, I will flip you on your hands and knees.”
Well, unless you knew a Fae you wanted to make beg for mercy by fingering their feathers to death.
“I couldn’t save you—and why? Because I let my fears get the best of me. I let you go alone, and I suffered every one of your cries because of it. They tore me. I nearly lost my mind. It was torture hearing you call my name when all I could do was listen.”
“While there is life, there is time. Time to change and choose to be better.”
“I love you, my darling Zurilya.” I smiled, tears blurring my sight. “I love you too.” His hand pressed harder against my chest. “I would have liked a lifetime to know you. Goodbye, darling.”
“The universe could rip us apart, and I would bend it to my will so I may find you.” Calstar stilled.
“Welcome to the Fae realm, my Raihneer.”
