Lower World Quotes

“scared”
― Maya Daniels, Lower World

“Stop snapping at me. I’m a grown ass woman, not a child.” I froze when she poked the shifter in the nose with her forefinger. A deep, threatening growl started in Dominic’s chest. “And stop snarling and growling. I’m not scared of you. Taking care of animals is my life, if you forgot. You’re just a big cat with an assholish attitude. I don’t give a rat’s ass if you look human most of the time.”

“She was using the knife like a machete with a determined look pinching her face. A warrior cry full of fury and fear ripped from her throat, and she pirouetted to me, pressing her back to my back, gasping for a breath. Nothing stunned me more than her weapon of choice in a fight against killers. My human friend was brandishing a bread knife of all things.”

“You could also do the inner thigh,” Alice chirped, forgetting all about being afraid of Dominic breaking her in half as she attempted to straighten her clothing that she slept in. “What? In books, vampires suck on the inner thigh, too. Well, in steamy novels, but yeah. Like, it’s more intimate, or something …” Eyes widening, she trailed off before ducking her head toward the plate, almost burying her nose in the omelet.”

“If it will be easier for you to accept the fact I’m not human while giving me your trust so I can protect you, I will be a vampire.” A soft breeze gently grazed the skin on my neck exposed from the ponytail, coming from behind me. I fought the need to smile. “I’ll even be a shifter if it’ll help you process better. Just don’t ask me to purr while you scratch my belly, and I’m not good at hacking out hairballs.”

“Vampires are made up creatures the humans love to read about, Alice. We talked about this many times. My kind are called Atua, and we do not bite humans to change them into one of us. Also, blood itself is not what sustains us; it’s the lifeforce in it we need.”
