“Not consort, not wife. Feyre is High Lady of the Night Court. My equal in every way; she would wear my crown, sit on a throne beside mine. Never sidelined, never designated to breeding and parties and child rearing. My queen.”

“And he will never know what it is to look up at the night sky and wish.”

“You’re exquisite,” he breathed.”
