“I fought the urge to drag my finger along his scar. What is it about something that's meant to mar you forever that makes you look even more beautiful? He has the look of a survivor who'd fought hell itself and came out the winner, and damn that did things to my insides.”
― Dakota Wilde, Hell House

“We stand there for a moment looking at each other. The way he looks at me and my work makes me feel almost naked. I feel seen in a way that no one else has ever come close. When they see me, they see my blonde hair and big boobs, my long legs and bright smile - but they never look closer. Most never bother to see past my exterior. I've done my fair share of playing to those expectations, being the good girl I know everyone wants me to be. But something about the way Lukas looks at me, makes me want to shed that exterior and embrace the darkness I'm so obviously drawn to.”
― Dakota Wilde, Hell House: A Kildale Academy Novel

“Wildcat, you're one of the strongest people I've ever met. You came into my life like a whirlwind of sass and fire. I was happy to slink off into the shadows before I met you. Only feeling comfortable to come out into the light when I was using my music as a crutch. But with you? You make me want to try and be the best version of myself. You embraced me, even when I was possessed with a demon. I was so scared that I would hurt you, but you broke down every wall I constructed to keep everyone out and took hold of my heart. It belongs to you now, and I won't ever let you go. You're safe with me.”
― Dakota Wilde, Reign of Hell House

I'm going to flay you open until your darkness spills out to meet mine and then I'm going to let you come all over my pierced cock like the good little girl you pretend to be. You do this with me now, and there's no going back. There's no pretending like nothing ever happened between us. Do you understand me?”
― Dakota Wilde, Hell House

“I don't give a fuck if you've slept with everyone in the house. You're mine. Even if you still want them too, this thing between us? It's fucking real. I tried showing you my darkest parts and you fucking embraced it instead of running away. I'm not going to make the mistake of pushing you away again.”
― Dakota Wilde, Queens of Hell House

“Life has a way of laughing at your plans before sprinkling some chaos around like a maniacal evil genius. I'm pretty sure it even has the matching villain mustache to twirl as it fucks up people's well laid plans.”
― Dakota Wilde, Hell House: A Kildale Academy Novel

“Growing up in their house had fucked with my head. They tried to stifle who I am. They tried to snuff out my light and put me in a box so they could tolerate me. But I stood here, shining brighter, despite their attempts to mold me into someone I wasn't. I am a force to be reckoned with, and I refuse to shrink myself for others who would want me to be anyone but myself.”
― Dakota Wilde, Queens of Hell House

“I'd fucked this up before, and she still chose to forgive me and give me another chance. One I wasn't going to toss away. It's what I loved about her the most. The ability to see the good in people, which means that my feud with Emmet would have to come to an end if she was still willing to have his ass around. I'd do whatever she wanted. Whatever would keep this look of happiness on her face.”
― Dakota Wilde, Reign of Hell House

“Our interaction did nothing to quell this crush I've held in secret. Instead, it's inflamed the ember of my feelings into a blazing inferno. I'd been telling myself that she didn't care for me, to move on from the idea of ever getting a chance to be with her. I swallow hard, still sensing a whisper of her touch on my skin. She does care to know more about me, and that knowledge, that hope has me believing that just maybe she won't shy away from me. She might be the one who could handle all of me, like no one else has ever been able to.”
― Dakota Wilde, Reign of Hell House

“For the ones whose trauma made them want to build walls of concrete around themselves, just to feel the smallest bit safer. The ones whose anxiety takes the wheel and plunges their bodies into a state that only medication can touch. The ones who weren’t believed when they voiced their truth, and who were met with mockery while tears still stained their cheeks. For those who were told to just get over it. Smile. It can’t be that bad. For those whose souls have been irrevocably changed by what they’ve survived. This is for you.”
― Dakota Wilde, Truth or Dare

“I know you don't fucking trust me, but I've already clawed my way out of Hell, princess. I'll gladly plunge back into its fiery depths for you. I'll give you whatever you fucking want, just ask for it and it's yours." I promise her. She drives me mad, but I mean every word. If she asked me to jump off a cliff right now, I'd fucking do it.”
― Dakota Wilde, Queens of Hell House

“Fuck no, I just want to keep you filled up with a part of me. Crotch goblin free." The thought does spark something in me though of a future with her. One day, maybe if that's what she wants. I'd raise a whole liter of crotch goblins with her if that's what she wanted. Or a hoard of emus. Or maybe she just wants to fill our home up with books. Whatever her heart desires, I want to give that to her, happily.”
― Dakota Wilde, Reign of Hell House

“I want them in a way that makes me feel feral and unhinged. I used to feel guilty over wanting multiple men, but I refuse to apologize for it anymore. It's what feels right, and I'm not going to spend one more minute feeling bad about that. These men of mine don't seem to mind that I need all three of them. They each give me something I desperately need in their own ways. Lukas might have been first, but I care just as deeply for Graham and Sloan as I do him. They've sliced my heart into three equal pieces, claiming a portion for themselves.”
― Dakota Wilde, Reign of Hell House

“If I cannot move heaven, I will raise hell. -Virgil”
― Dakota Wilde, Reign of Hell House

“The guy is too good at hiding his true feelings, and I hate how effortlessly good looking he is after all that he's done. If I were ever in charge of making a world, I would make the people's outsides match their insides, so at least you couldn't be blinded by a cute face and some hot as fuck abs.”
― Dakota Wilde, Queens of Hell House

“Anything." I breathe out, realizing I mean that. She could probably ask me for the moon and my dumb ass would try and get it for her. Anything to keep her looking at me like that.”
― Dakota Wilde, Hell House
