It was easy to hate him like this, when he was making sacrifices, because she could not look in his face and accept that she was about to lose him.

Ahhhnoooo whyyy I hate that he’s sacrificing himself but grey will find a way to save him

He leaned forward to kiss her. “I already have your name in my heart, Locke,” he said. “It would be the greatest honor to carry your banner.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to think about it?”
“No.”
A MANNNN

“Grey,” he sighed, her name the softest of exhalations. She felt the power of her pushing through the tether without her direction. She felt both in control and wildly out of it; both filled to the brim and needing more of him, as much of him as she could take, as soon as possible.”

This spicy scene I don’t mind 😏

He caught her, drawing her back against his chest. “No,” he said, leaning down to nip at her lower lip. “I’ve never been with someone I loved before.”
MARRY HIM ALREADY

He laughed, looking at her with a bizarre incredulity. “I always wanted you,” he said. “And I still can’t believe… that I have you. I think I do.”
AWWW

“I adore you,” he said, all in a rush. “No—no. Listen. I… I’m in love with you. I’ve been in love with you for years, maybe forever. Sometimes it’s all I can think about, and I can’t breathe because it’s so heavy on my chest that I… I might be holding it alone, the only thing about you I can’t be certain of. It’s agony, Grey, the not knowing.”

“And I have been trying to make you see me as more than your mage for six years now.”
She could not believe this. She could not understand the high color in his cheeks, the light in his eyes.
AHHHHH OMG KIERRRR

“If they take you, if you refuse to let them control you, they will make you bear an heir as soon as you’re able. One who will hand over all the power, who they can control—and then they’ll kill you anyway. I can’t save you. You have to save your power, Maryse—you have to save yourself.”

This is so sad…

Severin moved so quickly that Maryse missed it. One moment he was standing still with the girl at his arm; the next, his dagger was through her heart, and she was falling to her knees before him, shock clear on his face.
OMG WHAT THE FUCK

His hand found her hair, his fingers spearing through, thumb sweeping across her temple. Kier kissed her, properly kissed her as he never had before, and her heart ached with everything she would never have.
Maybe he did know.
AHHHH YESSS
