Darius Acrux Quotes

“There is only her”
― Susanne Valenti, Fated Throne

“You’re not the funny one. Just try and stick in your snarky, bitchy lane, yeah? It suits you better.”
I opened my mouth to protest that, but Darius turned and punched him in the arm before I could. “Don’t tell her she can’t be funny, dickhead,” he warned like my own personal dark knight.
“Well tell me this, Darius,” Seth said seriously, looking him square in the eye. “Did. You. Laugh?”
― Caroline Peckham, Heartless Sky

“She hated me. And I hated her.
Simple.”
― Caroline Peckham, The Reckoning

“One taste of her and I'd be addicted. And I couldn't afford that no matter how tempting a sin she might have been.”
― Caroline Peckham, The Awakening as Told by the Boys

“Fine, but don’t go putting ‘here lies a saint’ on my tombstone. Make sure it’s honest. Like, ‘here lies an absolute legend’.”
― Caroline Peckham, Heartless Sky

“I got you these.” I flipped open the satchel again, offering him the book on gemstones first and Orion’s jaw went slack as he took the book from my hand, turning it over gently like it was the most precious thing in the world.
“Oh my stars,” he gasped, grabbing the bag from me and rifling through the books with a youthful smile on his face. I snorted a laugh as Darius gave me a pointed look, realising I’d just lost myself fifty auras, but the look on Orion’s face was definitely worth it.
“I’m afraid Highspell had some of your other ones burned,” I said with a frown and I immediately regretted saying that as Orion looked like I’d just told him I’d murdered his puppy.
“Burned them?” he rasped and I nodded, offering him an apologetic look as he hugged the bag of books to his chest like he didn’t want them to hear what had happened to their friends.
“Sorry, man.” Darius rested a hand to Orion’s shoulder and he growled.
“I’ll murder that fake-faced witch,” he snarled, his fangs on show as he held onto his books even tighter and I was pretty sure he was making that promise to them. Dude would definitely kill in revenge for those books.”

“There is only her”
― Susanne Valenti, Fated Throne

“I could practically see the hatred forming within those big green eyes of hers. And despite the fact that that should have been exactly what I wanted from her, I couldn't help but feel like I'd just fucked up somehow. Like I'd failed at something without even knowing what it was.”
― Caroline Peckham, The Awakening as Told by the Boys

“She pressed her face to my chest and my heart leapt a little as she leaned into me like I was someone who could protect her.”
― Caroline Peckham, The Reckoning

“She wasn’t just a girl though. Not to me. She was the one girl I shouldn’t want, the one I couldn’t have, the one I didn’t need. And yet I did. And everything in my life could be damaged so badly by that need that I’d fought it tooth and claw up until this point. But apparently I was about to let the moon call me out on my bullshit. Because deep down I knew that every time I pushed her, every time I hurt her, each time she snapped at me and got back up, she’d been chipping away at my resolve a little more, breaking down my walls a little more. And even though I knew that all the things I’d done to her had only pushed her away from me, they’d each drawn me in a little closer every time.”
― Caroline Peckham, The Reckoning

“She had to know that it had broken me to watch my father push her into that pit. It had felt like carving into my own heart with a rusty knife and offering up a piece of my soul for him.”
― Caroline Peckham, Shadow Princess

“When we were together I felt so connected to her, like our souls were trying to tear their way free of our flesh to press against each other. It wasn’t just good, it was completely overwhelming, I swear I can still feel the imprint of her skin against mine and taste her kisses on my lips…”
― Caroline Peckhamham

― Caroline Peckham, Shadow Princess

“Do you have any idea how much I want her? How much it feels like I need her sometimes? It’s like she’s burrowed her way beneath my flesh and taken root in the depths of my soul. I hunger for her and ache for her and for the briefest moment, it felt like maybe she felt the same. Like all the anger and hatred between us had just been covering up everything else we desired. Like just maybe I could have something good like that, something pure and honest and just… mine.”
― Caroline Peckham, Shadow Princess
