1 " I am your shelter from the storm. I am your strength when you are weak. I am the fire that burns through your veins and heats you when you are in need. I am the one who will fill your womb and protect the children you give me. I am your light in the darkness and the one who guides your way when you are lost. I am the creature who will destroy worlds to keep you and will never allow you to fall. I am Lennox, beast to the High King of the Nine Realms and King of Norvalla. I am your mate, Aria Karnavious.” Leaning closer, locking eyes with mine, Lennox asked, “Who are you? "

2 " holding the illusion of love on her fucking sleeve. She was this wide-eyed, beautiful creature that looked at the Nine Realms with hope burning within her when there was none here to be found. This place would crush her dreams, stomp her fucking heart into the ground, and ruin the beauty that shined from within her soul before she’d ever make a dent in this hellhole. "
3 " For without that darkness, the world would have never discovered the beauty of the stars. We can only see some of the most beautiful things through the darkness of the night. No one understands that within the darkness, monsters can hide in plain sight, not having to pretend to be anything other than what they truly are. "
4 " You may be a queen only in name, but you will still be my Queen, Aria Hecate. "
5 " Pretty eyes can hide the largest lies. And yours are so beautiful, Aria. "
6 " You’re very smart for being a meat suit, Greer. "
7 " You’re honestly the most brilliant, stupid person I know, Peasant.” “Ouch, that coming from a suit of meat actually makes me give a fuck. No, wait. That wasn’t a fuck. It was indigestion from eating the last fuck I gave,” I snorted, and Greer chuckled. "
8 " I don’t know what it is about you, but my beast demands we claim you. That alone should terrify you because you’re wrong. My beast wants yours, and he thinks you’re the most perfect being he’s ever come across in his entire life. Lennox never acknowledged Liliana, and I wanted him to so badly that I ached with that need. You’re the only woman we have both wanted. What that means, I don’t know yet, but I want to discover it with you. I recognize it’s strange that my enemy is my perfect idea of a mate. That alone makes it impossible for me to believe you’re real. You’re too perfect, Aria. You are everything I want, and that seems too good to be true in a world of magic. "
9 " Do you know what the scariest creature in the world is, King Karnavious?” “No, what is it, wife?” “A woman who has nothing left to lose and chooses to build chaos since she is left in only ruins. "
