1 " I didn’t wait this long to find you just to watch you gamble your life away over another vampire. Be careful, Alexa. I’d hate to have to kill Sinclair to cure you of your recent bout of insanity. "
― Trina M. Lee , Death Wish (Alexa O'Brien, Huntress, #5)
2 " A monster is a monster, regardless of the face it wears or the name given to it. We were all monsters in our own way. It was tragic really. "
3 " We fight. We fuck. We forgive. It’s what we do, "
4 " I don’t trust the government. Monsters. Worse than we could ever be. "
5 " Wherever Sinclair is, he can take care of himself. You have more important things to do right now. Like stay alive.” With a shake of his dark head, Arys steered me inside with a hand on my waist. “You have this tendency to taunt death, my love. It’s frustrating. "
6 " Come on, Lex. How long can we all keep playing musical beds for before it blows up in our faces? Three is a crowd, and five is just getting downright nasty.” He made a face of disgust. “Not to mention however many lovers Arys has on the side that neither of us know about. "
7 " Arys raised his head to look at me. His expression took on an intensity that held me transfixed. “I’ve spent over a century knowing I’d likely never know you. I’ve been waiting for you for a hundred years. Being with you is surreal. We were created as one. The moments that bring jealousy and pain, they’re temporary. We are forever. "
8 " After shedding only as much clothing as required, I climbed onto his lap and rode him like I was running a race and the finish line was in sight. "
9 " You were always meant to be a monster. I just make you enjoy it. "
10 " I had a moment of clarity, and I wondered if my life would end in his hands. Maybe not today but one day. If our destiny was to destroy each other, that might only be fitting. "
11 " Anyone who fucks with you is going to be wearing their insides on the outside when I’m done with them. "
12 " She can’t be with both of us. Not in the long run. It will come down to you or me. Or possibly neither. Can you handle that? Do you even let yourself think about it? Or are you so lost in the fantasy of finally finding her that you’re blinded to reality? "
