“You don’t fucking know anything about me,” I snarl, tilting my chin up in defiance. Jake chuckles, dropping his head. Our mouths are mere inches apart, and my breathing stops. “Yes, I do, Stefany,” he murmurs, each word making his breath dance across the flesh of my lips. “And I know all the right buttons to press like no one else.” I exhale a shaky breath and laugh. “Baby, you couldn’t find the buttons even if you had a roadmap or stopped and asked for directions.”

“You don’t get it just like you don’t get yourself. Sometimes the simple beauty of a woman is more powerful than anything. It doesn’t need to be a massive painting, it doesn’t need to be filled with a lot of things going on in the canvas space, and it doesn’t need a lot of fancy art techniques. It’s just her. Her beauty. Her in her raw form with those intangible attributes that drove men crazy. Those intangible qualities that could topple kings. Those made Leonardo paint her. Those are still bringing people here to look at her and ponder over. It’s real love. An unfiltered and non-romanticized version. It’s real because it doesn’t need to be anything more. Just like you don’t need to be anything more. You’ve got those intangible qualities to bring millions of people to visit a museum to see you every year. You in your raw form have that power. People don’t forget someone like that. They’re etched into your bones and molded into your core.”

“You don't get it. They gave me beauty and song, and then I was left in the woods to grow up for sixteen years before being handed over to you. I don't know anything about ruling. I don't even really know what taxes are. I was in the woods in the real world. In the dreamworld, I hid like a mouse and then organized balls and parties.”

“You don't get time.
You create time.”
“You don't get to ask questions,' I said, and he looked up at me, exhaustion and pain lining his face, my blood shining on his lips. Part of me hated the words, for acting like this while he was wounded, but I didn't care. 'You only get to answer them. And nothing more.'
Wariness flooded his eyes, but he nodded, biting off another mouthful of the weed and chewing.
I stared down at him, the half-Illyrian warrior who was my soul-bonded partner.
'How long have you know that I'm your mate?'
Rhys stilled. The entire world stilled.
He swallowed. 'Feyre.'
'How long have you know that I'm your mate.'
'You... You ensnared the Suriel?' How he'd pieced it together, I didn't give a shit.
'I said you don't get to ask questions.'
I thought something like panic might have flashed over his features. He chewed again on the plant- as if it instantly helped, as if he knew that he wanted to be at his full strength to face this, face me. Colour was already blooming on his cheeks, perhaps from whatever healing was in my blood.
'I suspected for a while,' Rhys said, swallowing once more. 'I knew for certain when Amarantha was killing you. And when we stood on the balcony Under the Mountain- right after we were freed, I felt it snap into place between us. I think when you were Made, it... it heightened the smell of the bond. I looked at you then and the strength of it hit me like a blow.'
He'd gone wide-eyed, had stumbled back as if shocked- terrified. And had vanished.
That had been over half a year ago.
My blood pounded in my ears. 'When were you going to tell me?'
'Feyre.'
'When were you going to tell me?'
'I don't know. I wanted to yesterday. Or whenever you'd noticed that it wasn't just a bargain between us. I hoped you might realise when I took you to bed, and-'
'Do the others know?'
'Amren and Mor do. Azriel and Cassian suspect.'
My face burned. They knew- they- 'Why didn't you tell me?'
'You were in love with him; you were going to marry him. And then you... you were enduring everything and it didn't feel right to tell you.'
'I deserved to know.'
'The other night you told me you wanted a distraction, you wanted fun. Not a mating bond. And not to someone like me- a mess.' So the words I'd spat after the Court of Nightmares had haunted him.
'You promised- you promised no secrets, no games. You promised.'
Something in my chest was caving in on itself. Some part of me I'd thought long gone.
'I know I did,' Rhys said, the glow returning to his face. 'You think I didn't want to tell you? You think I liked hearing you wanted me only for amusement and release? You think it didn't drive me out of my mind so completely that those bastards shot me out of the sky because I was too busy wondering if I should just tell you, or wait- or maybe take whatever pieces that you offered me and be happy with it? Or that maybe I should let you go so you don't have a lifetime of assassins and High Lords hunting you down for being with me?'
'I don't want to hear this. I don't want to hear you explain how you assumed that you knew best, that I couldn't handle it-'
'I didn't do that-'
'I don't want to hear you tell me that you decided I was to be kept in the dark while you friends knew, while you all decided what was right for me-'
'Feyre-'
'Take me back to the Illyrian camp. Now.'
He was panting in great, rattling gulps. 'Please.'
But I stormed to him and grabbed his hand. 'Take me back now.'
And I saw the pain and sorrow in his eyes. Saw it and didn't care, not as that thing in my chest was twisting and breaking. Not as my heart- my heart- ached, so viciously that I realised it'd somehow been repaired in these past few months. Repaired by him.
And now it hurt.
Rhys saw all that and more on my face, and I saw nothing but agony in his as he rallied his strength, and, grunting in pain, winnowed us into the Illyrian camp.”

“You don’t get to come and go when it’s best for you. You appreciate when it’s rough, when it’s easy and when it just doesn’t make sense. You strive. You work. You love. You learn.”
“You don’t get to decide what you’re worth because you obviously don’t know. You don’t get to decide that anymore because you have no fucking idea that you’re worth everything. What do you think this is? A joke? A decision I made for the hell of it? It’s not. It’s not destiny, Ox. You’re not bound by this. Not yet. There’s a choice. There is always a choice. My wolf chose you. I chose you. And if you don’t choose me, then that’s your choice and I will walk out of here knowing you got to choose your own path. But I swear to god, if you choose me, I will make sure that you know the weight of your worth every day for the rest of our lives because that’s what this is. I am going to be a fucking Alpha one day, and there is no one I’d rather have by my side than you. It’s you, Ox. For me, it’s always been you.” So I said, “Okay, Joe.” I looked up at him. His wolf was close to the surface. And he said, “Okay?” I said, “Okay. Okay. I don’t know if I see the things you do.” “I know.” “And I don’t know if I’ll be good enough.” “I know you will,” he said, eyes flashing orange. “But I promised you. I said it will always be you and me.” His face stuttered a bit, and he said, “You did. You promised me. You promised.”

“You don’t get to make my decisions for me. It’s my life and only I know what I need and what I’m willing to go through. I don’t want to live without you. I felt that once.

“You don’t get to say it’s not a big thing. This is a big fucking thing, okay? This was supposed to be—this is mine. I’m supposed to decide when and where and who knows and how I want to say it.” Suddenly, my throat gets thick. “So, yeah, you took that from me.”

“You don't give an inch, do you?'
My eyes licked coldly up his body.
'Do you? Or is an inch all you have to offer?'
Petty. Stupid. I didn't even know why I said it, except that when he let out a low laugh, I found it oddly satisfying.
'Sleep well,' he said. 'I hope that knife under your pillow doesn't give you a crick in your neck.”
