" -¿Sabes?, la primera vez que te vi, pensé: Nunca había visto algo tan hermoso y cautivador.
-¿Por qué me cuentas todo esto? -dije, abatida.
-Te vi, y enseguida quise estar cerca de ti. Quería conocerte como nadie te había conocido nunca. Te quería a ti, todo lo que tú eres. Y ese deseo casi me volvió loco. -Patch hizo una pausa e inhaló lenta, intensamente, como si quisiera respirar me. -Y ahora que te tengo, lo único que me asusta es que la vida me obligue a volver a revivir aquello: desearte sabiendo que mi deseo no puede cumplirse. Eres mía, ángel. Toda tu. Y no pienso permitir que nada lo cambie. "

" -No te merezco, Patch. Tú dirás lo que quieras, pero esa es la verdad.
-Es cierto, no me mereces. -Coincidió -Te mereces algo mejor. Pero ahora estás atada a mí, tendrás que aceptarlo. -Con un solo movimiento, Patch me acostó y se coloco encima de mi, mirándome desafiante con sus ojos negros -No tengo intención de dejarte marchar, date por avisada. Me da igual que sea otro hombre, tu madre o los poderes del infierno los que traten de separarnos: no pienso dejarte.
Parpadee, atónita, con las pestañas humedecidas por las lagrimas.
-No voy a permitir que nadie se interponga entre nosotros. Y menos la hechicería diabólica. Llevo el antídoto en el bolso. Me lo tomare ahora mismo. Patch? -y añadí sinceramente -Gracias... Por todo. No se lo que haría sin ti.
-Mejor -murmuro -Por que no voy a permitir que te me escapes. "

" I want to wake up with you every morning and fall asleep beside you each night,” Patch told me gravely. “I want to take care of you, cherish you, and love you in a way no other man ever could. I want to spoil you — every kiss, every touch, every thought, they all belong to you. I’ll make you happy. Every day, I’ll make you happy. "

" My Angel,
My greatest hope is that you never have to read this. Vee knows to give you this letter only if my feather is burned and I’m chained in hell or if Blakely develops a devilcraft prototype strong enough to kill me. When war between our races ignites, I don’t know what will become of our future. When I think about you and our plans. I feel a desperate aching. Never have I wanted things to turn out right as as I do now.
Before I leave this world, I need to make certain you know that all my love belongs to you. You are the same to me now as you were before you swore the Changeover Vow. You are mine. Always. I love the strength, courage, and gentleness of your soul. I love your body too. How could someone so sexy and perfect be mine? With you I have purpose-someone to love, cherish and protect.
There are secrets in my past that weigh on your mind. You've trusted me enough not to ask about them, and it's your faith that has made me a better man. I don’t want to leave you with anything hidden between us. I told you I was banished from heaven for falling in love with a human girl. The I way I explained it, I risked everything to be with her. I said those words because they simplified my motivations.
But they weren't the truth. The truth is I had become disenchanted with the archangels’s shifting goals and wanted to push back against them and their rules. That girl was an excuse to let go of an old way of living and accept a new journey that would eventually lead me to you. I believe in destiny, Angel. I believe every choice I've made has brought me closer to you. I looked for you for a very long time. I may have fallen from heaven but I fell for you.
I will do whatever it takes to make sure you win this war. Nephilim will come out on top. You’ll fulfill your vow to the Black Hand and be safe. This is my priority even if the cost is my life. I suspect this will make you angry. It may be hard to forgive me. I promised that we would be together at the end of this and you may resent me for the breaking that vow. I want you to know I did everything to keep my word. As I write this I am going over ever possibility that will see us through this. I hope I find a way. But if this choice I have to make comes down to your or me, I choose you.
I always have.
All my love,
Patch "

" I saw you, and I wanted to be close to you. I wanted you to let me in. I wanted to know you in a way no one else did. I wanted you, all of you. That wanting nearly drove me mad.” Patch paused, inhaling softly, as though breathing me in. “And now that I have you, the only thing that terrifies me is having to go back to that place. Having to want you all over again, with no hope of my desire ever being fulfilled. You’re mine, Angel. Every last piece of you. I won’t let anything change that. "

" Did you know, the first time I saw you, I thought: I’ve never seen anything more captivating and beautiful?”
“Why are you telling me this?” I said miserably.
“I saw you, and I wanted to be close to you. I wanted you to let me in. I wanted to know you in a way no one else did. I wanted you, all of you. That wanting nearly drove me mad.” Patch paused, inhaling softly, as though breathing me in. “And now that I have you, the only thing that terrifies me is having to go back to that place.
