A. F. H.’s Reviews > Mated to the Reaper > Status Update

“I was scared that my life would only bring her darkness, but my treasure made me see she needs me as much as I need her. My darkness is stronger than anything that tries to touch her.”

“Treasure. I hear his voice inside my head and my cheeks warm.
They’re all wrong. He isn’t darkness, and if that’s what it feels like, I’d let it eat my light alive. I’d give up the sun for him if that’s what it took for us to be together.”

“I dreamed of you,” she says as she reaches for me and I move on top of her. “I dreamed of my mate and finally being in his arms.”
“I didn’t dare dream of something so perfect,” I confess as I run my hands down her sides and to the edge of the dress. “I couldn’t have even dreamed of a woman so pure.”

“I wished for you to come take me away, but I never imagined I would feel like this. You’re my mate, aren’t you? That’s what this is.”
“Yes,” I say, and the one word rumbles in my chest.”

“Tell me where you sleep, my treasure. I want to look at you while you’re laid bare before me.”

“I know everything I’ve ever done in my life has led me to this point. She’s the one whose soul calls to me. Not because she’s dying, but because she’s my mate. She called to me from the other side of the world and I came running.”

“What’s it like to be surrounded by happiness twenty-four hours a day? Lonely. Seeing love radiate from mated couples only made me feel more alone in the world than when I was actually alone. To see what I’d never have.”
