“But I don’t care because loving you is the only pure thing in my life.”
― Cora Reilly, Bound by Honor

“But you are my first choice, Aria. I’ll burn down the world if I have to. I’ll kill and maim and blackmail. I’ll do anything for you. Maybe love is a risk, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take and as you said, it’s not a choice. I never thought I would, never thought I could love someone like that, but I fell in love with you. I fought it. It’s the first battle I didn’t mind losing.”
― Cora Reilly, Bound by Honor

“That’s not how marriage works,” I say, trying to simmer my emotions back down. “At least, not a good marriage—and you want this to be a good marriage, don’t you?” Why am I even trying to reason with him? He gives me a long look. “Of course I do, wife.” “Then you need to listen to me and you need to respect my opinions.” It’s the two most obvious rules of marriage, and yet War is completely unaware of them. “And you need to respect my will,” he fires back. “As my wife, you should be obedient the few times I demand it of you.” Obedient? I’m seeing red. “Fuck it. I want a divorce.” “No.”

“Puppy love could never threaten a wolf.”
