    “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."

    "Do you ever take those off?" he asked.
    "No."
    Kai tilted his head, peering at her as if he could see right through to the metal plate in her head..."I think you should go to the ball with me."
    She clutched her fingers..."Stars," she muttered. "Didn't you already asked me that?"
    "I'm hoping for a more favorable answer this time and I seem to be getting more desperate by the minute."
    "How charming."
    Kai's lips twitched. "Please?"
    "Why?"
    "Why not?"
    "I mean, why me?"

We’re going to overthrow Levana, and by the stars above, we are going to make Cinder a queen so she can pay us a lot of money from her royal coffers and we can all retire very rich and very alive, got it?"

    Winter started to clap. "Brilliant speech. Such gumption and bravado."

    "And yet strangely lacking in any sort of actual strategy," said Scarlet.

    "Oh, good, I'm glad you noticed that too," said Iko. "I was worried my processor might be glitching.”

So I'm sorry, your majesty, but you are coming with me, and you're just going to have to figure out whether or not you can trust me when we're not so pressed for time."
