“I could smell her terror as we stepped into the tub, and my wolf balked. He did not want to do this. He only knew she was terrified of what we were about to do, and there was no way to explain the logic behind it to him. I don’t often have to push him down until I can’t hear him at all, but I had to now, because I was having a hard time with it, too.”

“Either I’m gonna ease up and these assholes are gonna stand down, or I’m gonna lean in and snap your boy’s neck. I really don’t want to kill him, and I sure as shit don’t want to die in the middle of nowhere. But you have got to know, if I meet the boatman tonight, I am not crossing that river alone.”

“Her eyes… Honor’s eyes had been vacant for so long, Jake.  It was almost like she didn’t even live in her body anymore after what happened.  But that kick… it was like Heaven woke her up.  She woke us both up,” she shared in a watery voice.  “I can still hear Honor’s voice that night, Jake.  She said, ‘That’s our baby, Harmony.  She’s ours, not his.  We fought a band of demons for her, and they got their pounds of flesh from both of us in payment.  But Harmony, we got her.  She’s our reward.  She’s the prize we earned for surviving hell.  Don’t let the memory of a bad man take that miracle from both of us.  That baby you’re carrying is proof that there really is a Heaven.’.”
