1 " but I’d made my promise a long time ago. Would I sacrifice myself for my sister if the moment came? Of course I would. I’d do it a thousand times over, if it meant saving her. I couldn’t ask to be the hero and change my mind if I didn’t like the consequences. That wasn’t how being a hero worked. And this was one hell of a redemption arc. "
― Bella Forrest , Harley Merlin and the Mortal Pact (Harley Merlin, #9)
2 " She’d turned my love to hate, but they were two sides of the same coin. "
3 " You made it, my love. You made it, and you’re alive, and you’re still breathing. So keep doing it.” He paused, choking on a sob. “Don’t leave me. I don’t want to do this without you.” “I… don’t think I have… a choice.” My voice was slurring, and my eyelids felt impossible to keep open. “I love you. "
4 " I got to see his beautiful face one last time, though his eyes were glittering with tears. He was desperate, but there was nothing anyone could do now. Love couldn’t save us. It didn’t have the power. "
5 " I pulled him closer, that tenderness giving way to sudden desperation. I didn’t care if people were watching. I’d almost lost him today, and he’d almost lost me. That was cause for a passionate kiss if ever there was one. "
6 " Taking a deep breath, I walked through the doorway and closed it behind me, shutting the door on everything I’d been up until that moment. This was the end of a long chapter, and I didn’t know if I was about to write the final page. "
7 " Meanwhile, Tatyana and Wade had knives from the kitchen, and Finch had a baseball bat. "
8 " If I care about what happens to them, then maybe that’s what friendship is. "
9 " Maybe I could be a hero, just once. Forgotten over time, but alive in the memories of those I loved. That would be enough. If I could just do that, I’d die a happy man. "
10 " What’s mine is yours, what’s yours is mine. We make this last stand as one, you and I, to ensure that our peace will never die. What’s yours is mine, what’s mine is yours. I have the blood, you have the power. Help us overcome in our final hour, "
11 " When you don’t love anyone or anything other than yourself—how could you ever hope to be anything but hated? "
