    “Nesta had loved Cassian since she'd first laid eyes on him. Had loved him even when she did not want to, even when she had been swallowed by despair and fear and hatred.

    Cassian's throat tightened, and even from across the ring he could see Nesta's eyes gleaming with pride and pain.

    Emerie said, "Nothing can break us ."

    The world seemed to pause at the words. As if it had been following one path and now branched off in another direction. In a hundred years, a thousand, this moment would still be etched in his mind. That he would tell his children, his grandchildren, Right then and there. That was when it all changed.

    Azriel went wholly still, as if he, too, had felt the shift. As if he, too, were aware that far larger forces peered into that training ring as Gwyn moved.”

    “He froze, becoming stone still. As the hover climbed the hill to the palace, his shoulders sank, and he returned his gaze to the window. "She's my alpha," he murmured, with a haunting sadness in his voice.

    Alpha.

    Cress leaned forward, propping her elbows on her knees, "Like the star?"

    "What star?"

    She stiffened, instantly embarrassed, and scooted back from him again. "Oh. Um. In a constellation, the brightest star is called the alpha. I thought maybe you meant that she's...like...your brightest star." Looking away, she knotted her hands in her lap, aware that she was blushing furiously now and this beast of a man was about to realize what an over-romantic sap she was.

    But instead of sneering or laughing, Wolf sighed, "Yes," he said, his gaze climbing up to the full moon that had emerged in the blue evening sky. "Exactly like that.”

    Scarlet stiffened, heat rushing into her cheeks. He certainly wasn't insinuating . . .

    "Aaaaw," squealed Iko. "Did Wolf just say that he loves Scarlet? That's so cute!"

    Scarlet cringed. "He did not--that wasn't--" She balled her fists against her sides. "Can we get back to these soldiers that are being rounded up, please?"

    "Is she blushing? She sounds like she's blushing."

    "She's blushing," Thorne confirmed, shuffling the cards. "Actually, Wolf is also looking a little flustered--”

    “All right, Miss Cryptic. What's the new plan, then?"
    Glancing around the room, Cinder tipped up her chin. "It starts with kidnapping the groom."
    Iko's hand shot into the air.

    Marissa Meyer
    “Cress?"
    "It's beautiful out there."
    A hesitation, before, "Could you be more specific?"
    "The sky is gorgeous, intense blue color." She pressed her fingers to the glass and traced the wavy hills on the horizon.
    "Oh, good. You've really narrowed it down for me."
    "I'm sorry, it's just..." She tried to stamp down the rush of emotion. "I think we're in a desert."
    "Cactuses and tumbleweeds?"
    "No just a lot of sand. It's kind of orangish-gold, with hints of pink, and I can see tiny clouds of it floating above the ground, like...like smoke."
    "Piles up in lots of hills?"
    "Yes, exactly! And it's beautiful."
    Thorne snorted. "If this is how you feel about a desert, I can't wait until you see your first real tree. Your mind will explode.”
    Marissa Meyer , Cress
