“I saw the ghosts at the cemetery earlier, felt them respond to you, bow to you like a queen... .” His fingers gripped my jaw firmer, his nose brushing mine. “And I’m on my knees with them.”
GADIES AND LENTLEMEN WE HAVE A PATHETICALLY DOWN BAD MAN ON OUR HANDS

THE HOSTAGE IS ROSIE/NINAS HUSBAND?

“Fuck. You. Bitch.”
Warwick moved, cutting in front of me, his hand choking the man, yanking him to his face.
“She is the only reason you are alive. I wanted to watch the hyenas tear into you—strip the flesh from your bones while you were still breathing. You are going to tell her whatever she needs to know, or I will be using your veins to floss your teeth. You know who I am, and the rumors... they’re all true.”
HEH

“If you think I wouldn’t choose your life over a fucking diary...” The blade dropped from his hand to the bed. He seized my thighs, lifting me off my feet, curling my legs around his waist. “Then you’re not fuckin’ getting it, princess. This world would be in shreds if anything happened to you.”
OH MY GODDDDDDDD SEDATE ME

“Opie stopped as he reached the door, his head tilting back, his brows pinching.
“Does the miracle need a little assistance reaching the door?”
“My greatness is in a tiny package.”
Chirp!
“Not that package! I’ll have you know I’ve been told by many it’s above normal for my size.”
Chirp.
“Okay, maybe not many, but plenty.”
Chirp.
“Okay, not plenty, but some.”
BAHAHAHAHAHA

“Have you seen Warwick?”
“You mean that big, bad, sexy wolfy?”
My cheek flinched. “I’m thinking we’re talking about the same person.”
“Like you don’t know, Fishy,” Opie scoffed, Bitzy copying his response. “Weren’t you the one screaming out, “‘Oooooohhh, Wolfy, what a colossal dick you have—’”
BAHAHAH

“Joy killer.” She hissed between her teeth with every step. “I could have gotten a free ride and spankings. The least you could do is offer up the same.”
“Sorry, I’m not carrying your ass.”
“Spankings?” Her brows went up in hope.
“Only if you’re good.”
“Dammit.”
BAHAHAHA

“Seeing Birdie, Scorpion, even Maddox and Wesley, I felt another puzzle piece click in. I didn’t know how it all fit together; I just felt in my bones. These people were meant to be in my life. I had known them for barely a day before we had to part, but it was already there. Like they were an extension of Andris. My true family in this fucked-up world.”
Awwww found family

“It’s not so simple,” I replied. “You don’t know the whole truth. Your dad—”
“I said shut up!” His finger pressed firmer on the trigger, making my body stiffen. He shoved me forward. “Move.”
“No, I don’t think she will.” A voice spoke from the other end of the alley, the charm in his voice twining around us like vines, twitching my lips in a smile. “I’d let her go if I were you.”
OH YEAAAAAA

OH FUCK CADENS HERE
