101 " I have never been swept off my feet by a woman before. And she has done it twice in one day. I wonder, my dear Maxine, if I have left you as perplexed and intrigued? I do very much hope so. I will have you come to me in the end. I think I will have you willingly kneel to me. "

102 " We’re going to be late to dinner.” “Does it look like I care? Say it, Cora.” She sighed. He was impossible. “I love you, Simon Waite.” One of these days, she was going to learn not to try to predict what Simon was going to do next. Because he laughed. "

103 " She had felt the abyss that dwelled in him, and she had not turned away in revulsion. She had looked up at him with such compassion that he knew he must have her. The war—this city and his new empire—was now secondary among his goals. You will be mine, Maxine Parker. "
104 " Maxine Parker’s life ended with the sound of a knock on her front door. "
105 " Her words had cut him to the quick. He did not doubt her claim to hear the whispers of the souls around her. She had spoken to him the truth of his nature that he had never heard aloud. But it was not anger he felt at such a revelation that she had paid him. It was hope. "
106 " Really, I’m not sure how your gender gets anything done. It isn’t even the tits that are the problem—yes, fine, they’re distracting—it’s the damnable lack of pockets that is the real issue here.” Bella looked down at herself and picked up the folds of her skirt and dropped them in frustration. “Is this a manner of repression I have been previously unaware of? That if we let you wear comfortable clothing that serves any functional purpose, you might revolt?” Maxine rolled over to lie on her back, watching the false huntress complain. “It’s quite possible.

107 " Vampires, archdemons, fae, haunted circuses, ghostly magicians—I have a villain for you. "
108 " You poor mortal women are supposed to keep your bodies locked in a cage, but your heart is free to the first person who asks for it. And if you don’t grant it to them, it is you who are supposed to feel grief? How are you the villain here?” He sighed. “Your race is evil to make you feel such a way. "
109 " Spirits whispered often to Maxine, and she always listened. They had successfully guided her through her life up until this point, and she would never refuse their counsel. She had some part to play in what had befallen her city. She believed in fate without question. "
110 " She shifted, tilting her head to the side, her hand tangling into the hair at the back of his neck. She welcomed what used to terrify her so greatly. She would happily share herself with him. She let her eyes drift shut as his teeth scraped her skin. His sharp fangs descended in hunger, but not before he whispered to her in adoration. “I love you, my immortal soul. "
111 " Perhaps not that all choices were immutable, but that some were inevitable, like death. "
112 " Death came for all, no matter the choices that were made. "
113 " And every day she commanded Vlad to return to her. And every day he defied her. Each day she lay curled at his side, her fingers twisted into the lapel of his suitcoat. And every day he defied her. Until the day he did not. "
114 " She was not a psychic in the truest form of the word. She could not see the future. She could only see the present and past—often in rather excruciating detail—and it was easy enough to see the strings of where she stood and predict the next thread that was to fall in the loom. "
115 " The older man reached a hand to her. She hesitated for a moment before meeting him, taking a moment to ensure that she still wore her gloves. It was a reflexive action. "
116 " My name is Alfonzo. Alfonzo Van Helsing. And I am hoping we might speak with you. "
117 " Snarling, he threw on his clothing. They were in a precarious scenario, and now was not the time to go wandering off on her own! She should know the danger they were in! No, she has no reason to know. She’s still a child here. And now I’m going to ruin my nice coat! "

119 " A woman can never change a man’s nature, Abigail. Never. Not by any power, not by any measure of love or lust. In the end, I failed and had many a bruise for my trouble. "
