21 " From the moment I saw you, I knew you were a bad idea "
― Ella Frank , Shiver
22 " For as long as I could remember, I had always been fighting urges that were even darker than the shadows I’d learned to lose myself in "
23 " But even though I hurt all over, it had been worth it. I’d never felt so alive "
24 " Would I have found someone under those purple lights, or even several someones? Or would I have been the odd man out, watching as everyone else’s fantasies came to life? Would I always be happy sitting on the sidelines instead of playing the game "
25 " To get to the top of the food chain, one had to be willing to fight for what was theirs. One had to have the drive and desire to take out any and all adversaries who stood in their way "
26 " How dare someone try to take what was mine. Try to touch it. Try to lure it from me "
27 " Because a King who is caught alone with a Wolfe and his pack is still merely a man "
28 " The secret to success is never to give a fuck about what anyone else says, because the truth is, they all want you to fail. They all want to get their hooks in you and rip you to shreds so you don’t stand a chance. I’d never give anyone that satisfaction "
29 " I like to control the situations I put myself in. I don’t bend or kneel for others. I find it much more satisfying when they do so for me. Business or…otherwise "
30 " I will do whatever’s necessary to protect what’s mine, and while you’re mine, that’s not up for negotiation "
31 " Fear is such an interesting emotion. One which echoes lust so nicely it’s always merged as one for me—and tonight is no different "
32 " Because that was what you did when you cared about someone, right? You told each other your secrets and trusted each other, and you didn’t give up on them because you hit a bump in the road "
33 " A face devoid of any emotion because the one I took the journey with no longer lived and walked beside me with the darkest secret a soul could house. That was what hell looked like "
34 " cheese-tastic grin "
35 " You look like someone who’s discovered a new species of human "
