“Medra Pendragon was mine. And I was prepared to die before I let any harm come to her. It didn’t matter if she believed it. If she accepted it. It didn’t matter if she hated me. I’d believe it enough for both of us. She was mine and she always would be. My heart might have been black, my deeds as dark as night, but she was mine to protect, mine to keep safe, with everything I had to give. She thought she was trapped? I was the one trapped. Trapped with this feeling I couldn’t get away from. The need to possess her. To dominate her until she accepted me.”
― Briar Boleyn, On Wings of Blood

“I didn't need love. I didn't need to fall into it. I didn't need to find it at all. Not again. Never again.
Because love stories were enough. They were safe. They would never fail me.”
― Ashley Poston, A Novel Love Story

“You think I would not beg to run away with you? My duty may be to the king, but my heart, Pae, is wherever you are. It is in the palm of your hands, the pad of your thumb. So if you leave, I will follow. If you stay, I will bow. Because there has never been a moment when you did not own the only piece of me that mattered—loving you made me matter. And I ache to be full again.”
― Lauren Roberts, Fearless

“I am not so hollow when I am with you.”
― Caroline Peckham, Echo Fort
