“Fear can change you if you let. Even a proud,strong woman can become a whimpering mess if her fear overwhelms her. Terror reaches inside you and twists your mind, colors your decisions, and limits your options. If I'm going to live my life under the constant threat of death, then I'm going to live it on my terms. And when I do die, I want people to remember me as I am, not as whatever creature my fear wants to turn me into." ... "My circumstances have taken certain choices from me. I'll be damned if I let fear take any more...”

“Then the man looked at her and smiled.
She jerked her spine straight. “Can you see me?”
“Yes,” he said softly.
The object of the angel’s ire jerked his head around, his eyes widening when he saw her. “Oh. Why hello there. I’m Adonis, what’s your name?”
“You… You can see me too?” Hope blossomed to life in Irina’s breath.
“Who are you talking to?” the angel asked suspiciously.
Kirill darted forward and grabbed the demon by the arms. “What is it? Who do you see?”
“Whoa, there, hold on, Your Highness,” the brunet said. “It’s a girl, dark hair, beautiful pale skin.” He winked at Irina. “A real beauty.”
“Irina?”
Adonis leaned back, brow furrowing. “Who’s Irina?”
Kirill pointed to the coffin and Irina flinched.
“Oh,” the man said, noticing her still form. He frowned. “Oh.” He looked back at Irina then at her body inside the coffin. Then he looked at Kirill. “Ohhhhh—”
“If you draw that out for one more syllable,” the angel snarled.
-Irina, Saamal, Adonis, Kirill, and Patricio.”

“Whatever Patricio was looking for, he didn’t seem to find it. His frown deepened. “Help with what?” he asked finally.
“A young woman is dying in my castle. I need your help to save her life.”
“What business is it of mine if you’ve taken too much from one of your blood whores?” Patricio asked, his voice thick with disgust. “If—”
His voice cut off as Kirill pressed the blade of his dagger against the angel’s stomach. He would have preferred to press the steel against the judging angel’s throat, but he wasn’t willing to sacrifice his leverage to reach up as high as that would require given the disparity in their height. Instead, he pressed the blade into the angel’s tunic, easily sliding through the material until he was rewarded with the scent of fresh blood. He did a few quick calculations, angling the knife so he could easily find the angel’s heart if the situation degraded.
“Never speak of her in that manner again,” he said softly, his voice as cold as his own grave. “I need your blood to save her life. There’s no reason you have to die for me to get it.”
Tension roared to life in the air around him, coming from within as well as from the princes standing behind him. Kirill cursed. He hated having people behind him, especially when weapons had been drawn.
Irina, even now you distract me.
Patricio stepped forward, pressing his body against the blade and driving it farther into his skin. His eyes flashed with a hint of that same brilliant lightning Kirill had seen when the angel was feeding. “You would offer me harm in my own kingdom?”
“Your kingdom, my kingdom, or the land of oblivion. If you judge Irina so wrongly again, I will kill you and leave your rotting carcass for the vultures.”
-Patricio and Kirill”

“I've nearly lost you three times now-nearly lost you before I even realized how much I wanted to keep you-and that is inconceivable. I would be a fool not to see what the gods are trying to tell me."
"The gods?" Irina repeated, staring at him like he'd grown a second head.
"Please don't look at me like I'm going insane, I truly do not need the reminder," Kirill mumbled. He signed and lowered his forehead to hers. "Irina, you must marry me. You must bond with me, let me take away that part of you that can be hurt so easily. Let me protect you as much as I can, do everything I can to make sure I am never again standing without your warm presence beside me."
"I'm only half human, Kirill," Irina whispered. "You cannot make me a vampire."
"No, but your human blood will allow me to bond with you. You will share my strength and anyone who tries to hurt you will learn, just before they die, that you are mine, forever."
-Kirill and Irina.”

“Why don't you turn that charm on a young lady from a nice noble family?" his mother demanded, pulling her hand back. "You're not getting any younger, you know."
"I'm not getting any older either."
The queen rolled her eyes.
-Kirill and his mother.”

“Don't tone it down on my account," Prince Adonis insisted, his trademark cigarette smoke spilling from his lips. "Go ahead and fight it out." He smirked. "I like to watch."
"If the demon is going to make crude jokes all evening, I'm leaving now," Prince Patricio mattered, ruffling the feathers on his wings.
"Well then, bye bye, birdie," the incubus said sweetly.
- Adonis and Patricio.”
