I don’t need to go out to sea to find a monster; they exist on land. They hide under human skin and call themselves men.

No matter. I will kill anyone who questions my decision. Food is scarce in my land. I’ll turn kraken into dinner. I don’t care what any of them think. The fates made her me. She is my mate. There is nothing further to discuss.

I’ve dreamt of finding my mate since I was a cub, longed for it with every part of my being, because my mate would not hate me for having hair instead of a mantle. She would never leave or ignore me, or call me unworthy for my appearance. My mate would love me. She would pick me.

I have prayed to the Sea Goddess for my mate since I learned such a thing existed - a being created to be perfectly compatible in body, mind, and soul.

“My name is Shadow, but I can be your god tonight,”

“You are praying to gods that won’t hear you. You should pray to the one standing in front of you.”

“I’m a grown woman. Princess of Hell. I will not run from imaginary ghosts,”

“It’s time to bring my mate home. Even if I have to burn this whole gods forsaken city to the ground and drag his body through the ashes, I’m bringing him home.”

“You are the absolute love of my life, of my world, of every piece of me, Clara. I will come back to you. I will always come back to you.”

“With that, she stepped out of the room and I smiled, a soft lingering thought of my father. I felt that he was proud of me, and it gave me hope. I hadn’t and wouldn’t disappoint him.”

"Tonight, I don't want you to be quiet. I want to hear every sound out of your mouth. Every part of your body singing for me."

“The butterflies in my belly were fluttering south, waiting for him to take over me. It wasn't just a want anymore; it was a need. I needed him just as much as he needed me. Everything between us was real and from this point forward, there wouldn't be any stopping us.”

"You called me Evander in that beautiful head of yours. You are the only person that I ever wanted to call me by that name. Eros is my given name but Evander was chosen under the curse by me."

"You are my forever. The marking might have disappeared when we tied ourselves in marriage, but the promise never did."

"Every damn day I have missed you. I have craved you. And now that I've had you. I'll never let you go."

“You already know that I don't need blood to live, but I can crave it. And with you, I want every part of you. I want to taste you. I know that the moment I do, my desire for you will become infinite.” I looked into his green eyes that were laced in the most gorgeous shade of lavender and I whispered, “Then taste me.”

“I don't want to control you and I don't want to fight you.” He breathed in deeply before he whispered while his eyes continued to study my face. “The only thing I want is you. You. Not your title. Not your power. Not your influence. I want you.”

“Then, he walked toward me. With each step my heart beat faster. This was where it would change for us. There would be no more games. No more pretending.”

"Leo is still doing the same 'Madok' things, isn't he? Always trying to be the hero. Always trying to save everyone else. See, that's the difference between him and me." I felt his warm breath on the curve of my neck as he continued. "He would let you die to save everyone else in this gods’ damned world, and I would kill everyone to save you."

“It took this moment for me to truly understand what I had been trying to figure out for myself. Just like the curse, I was controlled, but in a sense maybe we all were. Controlled by our emotions. Controlled by our destinies. But there was something that we always forgot about. Our free will.”

The heat was no longer a soft burn. I was raging with intensity. I wanted this. I wanted him.

His eyes were darkened with his pupils dilated, but there was still a light glow of gold behind them as he declared his final request. “I need you, Clara. Every fiber of my being wants you. I know you are not mine to have, but I just...need a night with you. That’s all I need.”

“I thought the world around me went up in flames with that four-letter word. Eros. He was Eros. He was my true mate. He was the Fallen Angel.”

“There is such a goodness in you that I don’t know if you truly see.you are a walking ray of light and I want to be in that ray of light always. When I’m with you, I feel like I finally belong somewhere. I … I don’t have fae wings like everyone else and for the longest time I felt like I was an anomaly.”

“Drive it like you stole it, handsome.”

“I can do that. I’ve waited for you for hundreds of years. I can wait a little longer.”

“Spread your legs, let me see you,” he demands.”

“Psychical pain is one thing. Emotional suffering at the hands of loved ones? That is an entirely different beast.”

“Trauma leaves a mark on the soul. Psychically, one can heal rather quickly, but the soul takes much longer. People often forget that, and once the physical evidence is gone, it’s easy to forget the trauma even happened. Unless you know what to look for in the eyes.”

“You don’t pray to a god. You pray to me. You understand?”
