Kindle Notes & Highlights
he purrs, pushing me back into the grass and pressing his body flush against mine. Oh gods… his erection is hard against my throbbing pussy. Fuck. I suck my lip in. I don’t want to feel this burn—not for Arulius of all creatures. My traitorous body will be the end of me.
He’s an angry god demanding retribution from a sacrifice, and I’m his personal one.
“Elodie, love,”
Arulius cups his hand around my nape and tugs me in for an embrace. He hugs me—delicately—and it is… dare I say nice?
“Does this feel real?”
“So then why are you asking if you’re real, lovely?”
He stretches his golden wings and I marvel at how wide they spread. His span is much wider than Kastian’s.
“Being real isn’t determined by others saying so,”
“This moment.”
“No one could convince me that this moment isn’t real. Even if I’m not, then so be it. The rain greets me nonetheless. The sun warms me anyway. This moment means something to me… that is real enough.”
I’m devoured by h...

“You’re smiling, aren’t you?”
“I can tell by the way you tighten your stomach as if you have butterflies,” he purrs. “It’s cute, love.”
“You don’t understand anything. You’re just a stupid dead girl.”
“You are real,”
“Hmm? Oh yeah.”
He dips down and intertwines his fingers with mine. Stunned, I gaze up at him.
“What are you...

“I saw this once when I was a boy. Not many of us have elders that are willing to take us in when we arrive here, so I taught myself many things as I survived in the streets of Nesbrim. No one wanted a dark-winged Eostrix. They said I was bad luck. A bad omen… Anyway, a lord and his lady ...

Kastian’s dark aura arcs through the chaos and slices through Wren’s chest, stopping any words he planned on saying from spilling from his sinful lips. He shrieks in pain and dark crimson expels from his wound. Murph rears and leaps with his teeth bared. The poor Hollow is still trying to protect his master.
Wren’s blood splatters across my face. Its hot stickiness instantly makes my stomach churn. I whirl to see Kastian’s ebony wings break the light above as he crashes into the ground with thunder on his heels. The earth shrills under his power. He’s enraged, and the entirety of the world will know it. My eyes widen at his strength.
He’s an angry god sent from the depths of heaven and the close border of hell. But more than anything, he’s here for me. I rise to my feet and run to him with tears brimming my eyes. Real. This is real...

“Elo… die…”
“I remember y-you… I-I’m so s-sorry for not t-telling you s-sooner.”
My tears drip onto his cheeks and merge with his. He’s angelically beautiful with tears brimming in his eyes, but it’s the love in his gaze that seizes me, a pain so raw and unfinished. My ...

“He is dead, love.”
I… I feel everything. Everything.
Arulius narrows his eyes and releases his balled fist. An explosion of power isn’t even the tip of the iceberg of what it’s like. His aura rains down like the hellfire of gods, pelting the warriors as if an army of demons and angels alike let loose every last golden arrow in their hilts. It’s continuous anger until his brilliant wings break the light barrier at the top of the canopy. I pretend like I don’t hear the screams and wails of undiluted fear from below us. I wrap myself in their cries and a wry smile tugs at my lips. It starts small but erupts into hysterical laughter. I laugh until
