Horace’s lips curled up, a sadistic glint in his eye as he twisted the blade in his fingers. “I think I’ll start with the girl. I’ll make you watch as I carve her up and make her corpse dance like a puppet on a string. How would you enjoy ...more

Katie’s Quotes

“With knee-shattering force, my dragon breaks through the arch, shattering the silver beams, and lands right behind me, shaking the ground. I can feel the steam of her breath above my head.
The goddess' eyes widen. "You made a blood oath not to kill me."
"I never said anything about my dragon." I look up at my silver companion. "Eat."
The goddess can't even summon a flicker of power before my dragon swallows her and her thousand gems whole.”
― Alex Aster, Starside

“I pulled her closer, my breath warm against her ear. “You certain you want to entertain my wicked desires?” She looked up with eyes that threatened to take my soul. “Tell me them all.”

“For the first time in over a hundred years, rain befell upon Apollo. The sun hidden by thunderous clouds. Light slowly beginning to dissipate from the land. And as she walked toward the Golden Castle, she discarded her cloak. Letting the rain cover her in its smothering embrace, her tears mixing with the water from the heavens. The Apollons were no fools, they took the rain as a bad omen. For, they had unleashed the Bane of Apollo. Let Riaan have mercy on their souls.”

“She felt his rage and restraint warring against one another, then the male standing at her side snarled, pulling his lips back to reveal razor sharp teeth. But it wasn’t Rion who lunged for him, crashing into his full frame. Before she knew what she’d done, Arianna had the male pinned beneath her body, her hand at his throat, and her fangs bared. His eyes flew open wide and his hands released their grip on her arms, pulling back to open his palms in surrender. She couldn’t stop the growl in her voice. “Threaten him again and it will be the last threat you make.”

“Who did this to you?" I demand.
Stark lets out a low laugh, pushing me off him. He turns swiftly, trying to walk away again. But I snare his wrist, yanking him back around.
He thinks he's some tough, violent avenger.
Well, guess, what buddy? There are two of us.
I draw closer to him until he's forced to stare down at me, to see how serious I am, to read it in the pain in my eyes. Then I breathe deeply, his amber musk filling my senses and lending me strength.
When I speak, it's with all the depth of the darkness that thrives in my veins.
"Give me a name, and I'll erase it from the earth.”
