141 " Nada vive para siempre. Cualquier cosa puede ser asesinada si te esfuerzas lo suficiente. "
― Jennifer L. Armentrout , A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire (Blood and Ash, #2)
142 " The way Casteel is with you—the teasing and trying to get a rise out of you—isn’t how he is with most.” “So, it’s an act?” “No, Casteel is just more…alive when he’s with you,” he said, and I— I thought my jaw might hit the sand. "
143 " —Podrías estar esperando el momento en que yo menos lo espere. Aunque para que lo sepas, siempre espero que hagas lo inesperado. "
144 " Suavemente, me quitó el cuchillo de la mano, colocándolo en el banco. Las líneas normalmente llamativas de su rostro parecían borrosas. —Y yo aquí pensando que haría esta gran entrada, rescatándote. No estoy seguro de que necesitaras ser rescatada. "
145 " It is done," Jasper said, rising. "You are husband and wife."They day turned to night...."This is an omen. A powerful one." Jasper shook his head in wonder. "A good one from the King of Gods." The unnatural clouds started to scatter, and sunlight broke through as Jasper smiled. "Nyktos, even asleep, approves of this union. "
146 " But he was the first thing I’d ever truly chosen for myself. "
147 " I didn’t offer Casteel a piece of me as we rode forward, joining the others. There was no reason to because what he didn’t know was that he already held too many of them. "
148 " The constant contact, the small touches here and there, made it all too easy to forget that we were pretending. "
149 " the truth is, you like my brand of insanity.” My blood pounded through me in a dizzying push. “I don’t like anything about you.” He laughed as his lips skimmed the side of my throat. “I love how you lie. "
150 " There is something so wrong with you!” “Probably, but you know what?” He lifted his head off the ground. “That’s the part you like the most. "
151 " Gold leaves above glimmered, and along the ground, flecks of gold spotted the moss and glistened from the bark, reminding me of the Blood Forest. "
152 " Pero cuando oyes demasiados susurros, empiezas a creer lo que esos susurros te dicen. "
153 " The vampry’s teeth shredded my skin, sinking into the flesh of my lower arm. "
154 " dark-skinned Atlantian told me. “If not, then the line that separates us from the vamprys would be much too thin. "
155 " My arm was on fire. The flames blazed through my body, so intense and all-consuming, I feared it would stop my heart. I was scared that it already had because I was burning alive, screaming as I pressed against the floor, trying to escape the pain, get away from what was happening, but it invaded every part of me. I could feel it—him drawing my blood into him, breaking off pieces of me with each swallow. It was nothing like when Casteel had bitten me. The pain did not ease. It didn’t go away. It ratcheted up with each passing heartbeat. "
156 " He moaned, biting harder, digging his bottom teeth into my skin. Just like a Craven. Just like before. Like that night when I was too small and too young to fight back, too helpless. "
157 " Biases were taught and learned. Maybe that wasn’t my fault, but that didn’t make it acceptable. "
158 " my gaze kept roaming back toward the white banners hanging on the walls of the dining hall, spaced six feet apart. In the center of each of them was an emblem embossed in gold, shaped like the sun and its rays. And at the center of the sun was a sword lying diagonally atop an arrow. I knew I was staring at the Atlantian Crest. "
159 " Shoulders slumping, I changed the subject. “Can I ask you something?” “I have a feeling if I said no, it wouldn’t stop you. "
160 " I pretended that we both aged, and that I was always reckless enough, brave enough to just let myself feel, to experience, to live without the past shadowing every choice I made, or the future looming over every decision. "
