Devi's Distraction Quotes

“She laughs, her eyes bright. “What am I, chopped liver?” Liver? Of course she is liver. The organ meats are the tenderest and most prized, quickly snatched up after a hunt. “Yes, of course you are.” Her face falls. “Oh.”
― Ruby Dixon, Devi's Distraction

“I know in this moment that no matter what happens, Devi is mine. I will tear my khui from my chest if it dares to resonate to another.”

“I am letting my pride get in the way of helping my mate once more. Growling at myself, I reach for J’shel’s arm and use his strength to get to my feet. He nods at me when I do. “I hate being weak,” I mutter. “You are the strongest hunter I know,” he says, utterly serious. “And you are yet recovering. Give yourself time and you will put us all to shame once more.” I look over at him in surprise, and I realize he speaks the truth. In his eyes, he sees me as strongest. Not as broken, nor useless, just strong. I nod at him, unable to find the words to express how I feel. Seeing the respect in his eyes makes me feel…different. Better. And I do not feel as bad when I take his arm again. It does not mean that I am weak and useless, it just means that in this moment, I need the strength of my tribe to help me.”
