Quote by Marion Blackwood

“Rage burns through me. And I decide, right there in the grass under the impassive night sky outside the Unseelie Court, that if I survive this, I am going to make sure that Draven never has to sacrifice himself ever again. Never has to submit to someone else’s whims ever again. I will take on the pain, I will take on the debt, I will take on whatever fate requires of me. Next time, I will be the one protecting him.”

“A knowing smile curves his lips as he slowly shakes his head at me. “God help you, little rebel.” I raise my eyebrows in question, fighting a smile as well. “And why is that?” “Because you’re mine now. Body, mind, heart, and soul. And I will never get enough of you.” Shifting my hand from his wing to the back of his neck, I yank his mouth down to mine in a possessive kiss. “Likewise, Shadow of Death.”

“I stare at him from across the table, drinking in the sight of that faint smile. He has spent far too little time smiling in his life. He deserves a life full of joy. A life full of adventure and freedom. Full of love. And by his god and mine, I will make sure he gets it. I will make sure he gets everything. That we get fucking everything.”

“I will cut your fucking heart out,” he snarls at me. “So that I never have to feel it again. So that I never have to feel like this again.” “Then do it!” I scream back at him. Yanking up my free hand, I grab his wrist. He jerks in surprise, but I keep my grip firmly around his wrist and use that to press his knife harder against my chest. My heart beats out of control as I hold his knife hand steady there, one simple push away from killing me. “Do it!” All the weeks of loss and pain and agony come crashing down on me at the same time as I scream up at Draven in defiance and challenge. “Cut it out! Rip my heart right out of my chest. It’s yours anyway, so do whatever the hell you want with it!”

“Not that the incredulous person doesn't believe in anything. It's just that he doesn't believe in everything. Or he believes in one thing at a time. He believes a second thing only if it somehow follows from the first thing. He is nearsighted and methodical, avoiding wide horizons. If two things don't fit, but you believe both of them, thinking that somewhere, hidden, there must be a third thing that connects them, that's credulity.”
