Half-Blood (Covenant, #1) QUOTES

41 " Uff. Este era uno de esos momentos realmente maduros y raros en mi vida.
Mierda. ¿Dónde estaba Aiden para ver esto? "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

42 " —Límpiate un poco —me lanzó una sonrisa maliciosa—. No puedo tener a mi
pequeña «Apollyon en prácticas» hecha un desastre.
Cogí la toalla con fuerza.
—Si alguna vez vuelves a decir una estupidez así, te asfixiaré mientras duermes.
Levantó sus cejas doradas.
—Pequeña Álex, ¿estas sugiriendo que durmamos juntos? "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

43 " Desde la noche en que te vi en Georgia
has estado bajo mi piel. Te metiste dentro de mí, te convertiste en parte de mí. Nopuedo quitármelo. Está mal —Agapi mou, no puedo… —volvió a poner sus labios sobre los míos. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

44 " If I told you, what would it change? Fate is fate, you see.

Just like love is love. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

45 " —Los puros lo hacen, lo hacen siempre y no les pillan.
—Sé que hay algunos pura-sangre que rompen las reglas, pero lo hacen porque
no les importa lo que le ocurra a la otra persona, y a mí me importa lo que te
pase a ti —sus ojos buscaron los míos con intensidad—. Me preocupo por ti más
de lo que debería, y por eso no voy a ponerte en esa situación y poner en peligro
tu futuro. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

46 " You’re such a stalker, Seth. How long were you standing there?”
“I am not a stalker, and I was standing there long enough to realize you have no self-control and you’re unstable. I kind of like that about you—mainly because I find it entertaining. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

47 " —No quiero saber sobre el amor.
—Pero deberías, hija mía. Tienes que saber sobre el amor. Las cosas que la gente
haría por amor. Todas las verdades se acaban reduciendo al amor ¿verdad? De una
forma u otra lo hacen. Sabes, hay una diferencia entre amor y necesidad. A veces, lo
que sientes es inmediato y sin ton ni son —se sentó un poco más recta—. Dos personas
se miran desde el otro lado de una habitación o se rozan la piel. Sus almas reconocen a
esa persona como suya. No hace falta tiempo para adivinarlo. El alma siempre sabe…
si está bien o mal. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

48 " ¿Verte perder todo lo que te hacer ser tú? No podría soportarlo. No podría vivir viéndote
como al resto de los sirvientes. Tienes demasiada vida para eso, demasiada vida
que perder por mí. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

49 " —Tú… ¿llegaste a encontrar la paz?
Pasó sus dedos por la curva de mi mejilla. Fue un gesto tan rápido que supe
que Caleb no lo había visto.
—Sí, ahora sí. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

50 " —El primero… el primero es siempre el más poderoso —cerró los ojos, suspirando—.
Luego hay necesidad y destino. Ese es otro tipo. La necesidad se disfraza de
amor, pero la necesidad… la necesidad nunca es amor. Ten siempre cuidado de quien
te necesita. Siempre hay un querer tras una necesidad, sabes. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

51 " But you should, my child. You need to know about love.
The things people will do for love. Al truths come down to love, do they not? One way or another, they do. See, there is a difference between love and need. Sometimes, what you feel is immediate and without rhyme or reason.” She sat up a little straighter. “Two people see each across a room or their skin brushes. Their souls recognize the person as their own. It doesn't need time to figure it. The soul always knows… whether it’s right or wrong. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

52 " —¿Por qué sonríes si me has tirado?
Me ofreció la mano.
—Las cosas pequeñas son las que me hacen feliz. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

53 " Don’t you want to know about your truth, child? That is what’s important now. Don’t you want to know about love? About what is forbidden and what is fated?”...

“I don’t want to know about love.”

“But you should, my child. You need to know about love.
The things people wil do for love. All truths come down to love, do they not? One way or another, they do.
See, there is a difference between love and need. Sometimes, what you feel is immediate and without rhyme or reason... Two people see each across a room or their skin brushes. Their souls recognize the person as their own. It doesn’t need time to figure it. The soul always knows… whether it’s right or wrong...

The first… the first is always the most powerful... Then there is need and fate. That is a different type. Need covers itself with love, but need… need is never love. Always beware of the one who needs you. There is always a want behind a need."

Caleb let go of my arm and jabbed fiercely at the walkway behind us.

“Sometimes you wil mistake need for love. Be careful.

The road with need is never a fair one, never a good one.

Much like the road you must walk down. Beware of the one who needs. "

54 " Pero Aiden era un maldito pura-sangre.
Un maldito pura-sangre con unos dedos maravillosamente fuertes y una sonrisa
que… bueno, me hacía sentir como si tuviese un nido de mariposas en el estómago. Y
la forma en que me miraba —cómo sus ojos cambiaban de gris a plateado en un segundo—
me seguía emocionando todavía. Mi estúpido corazón me saltaba en el pecho. "

55 " He grabbed a towel off the shelf. After dampening it, he tossed it to me. “Clean yourself up.” He sent a devilish grin my way. “I can’t have my little Apol yon-in-training looking like a mess.”

My fingers clenched around the towel. “If you ever say something that stupid again, I wil smother you in your sleep.”

His golden brows rose. “Little Alex, are you suggesting that we sleep together?”

Stunned by how he came to that conclusion, I lowered the towel. “What? No!”

“Then how could you smother me in my sleep unless you were in bed with me?” He gave a sly grin. “Think about it.”

“Oh, shut up. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

56 " His hand slid up my back, leaving a trail of fire in its wake, and his lips moved across my cheek, stopping to hover above mine. I forgot how to breathe, and most importantly, how to think. He moved, ever so slightly, and his lips brushed across mine once, and then twice. It was such a soft, beautiful kiss, but when the kiss deepened, it wasn’t a shy one. This was one of dangerously pent-up need, a desire that’d been denied far too long. The kiss felt fierce, demanding, and soul burning. Aiden pulled me to him, pressing me right up against his body. And when he kissed me again, it left both of us breathless. Our hands tangled with each other’s bodies as we made it back to his bedroom. My hands found their way under his shirt and over the taut skin of his sides. We separated long enough for me to get the shirt off, and gods, each hard ripple was as breathtaking as I’d imagined. Easing me down on his bed, his hands glided from my face to my arms. Next his hand traveled over my stomach, then my hip, and under the hem of my dress. Somehow, the top of my dress ended up at my waist, and his mouth moved over my body. I melted into him, his kisses, and his touch. My fingers dug into the tight skin of his arms, and my insides were in tight coils. Every place our bodies touched, sparks flew. Aiden pulled his lips away from mine, and I made a sound of protest, but then his mouth trailed across my throat and to the base of my neck. My skin burned and my thoughts were on fire. His name was barely a whisper, but I felt his lips curve against my skin. "

57 " Did I get you in trouble today during practice?”

“No. I’m usual y easily distracted. So it was nothing new.”

Luke nudged me, grinning. “I can see why you are distracted. Too bad he’s a pure. I’d give my left butt cheek for a piece of that.”

“He likes girls.”

“So?” Luke laughed at my expression. “What’s he like?

He seems so quiet. Like you know he’d be good in—”

“Stop right there! "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

58 " The lines of his face were nearly perfect, the curve of his jaw strong, and he had the most expressive lips I’d ever seen. But it was those thundercloud eyes I found beautiful. No one had those eyes. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

59 " Miré alrededor a la gente que abarrotaba el enorme salón de la escuela. Era
como si todos los Guardias y Centinelas estuviesen allí, de pie bajo las estatuas de
las nueve musas. Las nueve olímpicas, hijas de Zeus y Mnemosine, o quien fuese
con la que se lió. ¿Quién lo sabía a ciencia cierta? El dios se movía bastante. "

― Jennifer L. Armentrout , Half-Blood (Covenant, #1)

60 " Caleb said something incoherent, cheeks flushing a ruddy color. I turned away from secondhand embarrassment and I couldn't even look to see Olivia's response. "
