Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2) QUOTES

1 " He is the complete opposite of her, or maybe just a completion of her. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

2 " What about me?" I whisper. "Where do I belong?"
"With me," my mother and Galen say in unison. They exchange hard glares. Galen locks his jaw.
"I'm her mother," she tells Galen, her voice sharp. "Her place is with me."
"I want her for my mate," Galen says. The admission warms up the space between us with an impossible heat and I want to melt into him. His words, his declaration, cannot be unspoken. And now he's declared it to everyone who matters. It's out there in the open, hanging in the air. He wants me for his mate. Me. Him. Forever. "

3 " How apparent is it that I want to put Grom into a headlock until he goes to sleep, and yell at Mom for not loving Dad or caring that he's dead? "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

4 " Finally, Grom shakes his head. "She's a Half-Breed, Galen."
Mom's head snaps toward him. "She's my daughter," she says slowly. She pulls herself from his lap and stands over him, hands on hips. Oh, he's in serious shiznit now. And I can't help but feel elated about it."Are you saying my daughter's not good enough for your brother?"
Yeah, Grom, are you? Huh, huh are you?
Grom sighs, the triviality in his expression softening into something else. "Nalia, love-"
"Don't you 'Nalia, love' me." Mom crosses her arms "

5 " I can't believe our parents wanted more offspring after you," Rayna tells Grom. Even hoarse, she's still able to infuse her irritation in each forced word. "After birthing an idiot like you, I'd never think about having more- "

6 " Wait," I call to him. He stops. " I just wanted to say, I like your big fin. I think it's very sexy. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

7 " As soon as she releases me, Galen grabs my hand and I don't even have time to gasp before he snatches me to the surface and pulls me toward shore, only pausing to dislodge his pair of swimming trunks from under his favorite rock, where he had just moments before taken the time to hide them.
I know the routine and turn away so he can change, but it seems like no time before he hauls me onto the beach and drags me to the sand dunes in front of my house. "What are you doing?" I ask. His legs are longer than mine so for every two of his strides I have to take three, which feels a lot like running.
He stops us in between the dunes. "I'm doing something that is none of anyone else's business." Then he jerks me up against him and crushes his mouth on mine. And I see why he didn't want an audience for this kiss. I wouldn't want an audience for this kiss, either, especially if the audience included my mother. This is our first kiss after he announced that he wanted me for his mate. This kiss holds promises of things to come.
When he pulls away I feel drunk and excited and nervous and filled with a craving that I'm not sure can ever be satisfied. And Galen looks startled. "Maybe I shouldn't have done that," he says. "That makes it about fifty times harder to leave, I think. "

8 " He'd live on land and eat cheesecake for the rest of his life before that happened. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

9 " If Grom felt for Nalia the way
Galen does for Emma, then it must have felt
like a living death. Every single day.
He should know that I can’t allow a tiny
law to separate me from her. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

10 " Highness, I’ve heard your lovely sister plans to join us soon,” Jagen says from behind them. “What a happy reunion.”
Galen rolls his eyes before turning to face him. “You are correct, Jagen. Rayna has missed you. She loves that face you make
when you’re upset. She says it’s the best impression of a rockfish she’s ever seen.”
Jagen doesn’t like this. His lips curl into a snarl. “Go ahead, young prince. Have a laugh at my expense. I assure you it will be the last time.”
Toraf glides in front of Galen. “That sounds a lot like a threat. To my knowledge,threatening a Royal is still illegal.”
Galen grabs his shoulder. “It’s fine, Toraf. Let this squid release his ink. Ink will only last so long before it fades away in the current. When his protective cloud is gone, everyone will see what’s really going on here. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

11 " If something happens to her because of you, your death will be my priority. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

12 " Okay, Galen.”
“Galen, Emma,” Nalia calls from the dining
room, saving him from making a fool of
himself. “Everyone is here.”
Emma gives him a look that clearly says
“We’re so not done with this conversation.”
Then she turns and walks away. "

13 " He is about to lose his shirt altogether. Until Antonis’s voice booms from the doorway.
“Extract yourself from Prince Galen, Emma,” he says. “You two are not mated. This behavior is inappropriate for any Syrena, let alone a Royal.”
Galen feels like a fingerling again. “I apologize, Highness,” he says. It seems like all he does lately is apologize to the Poseidon king.
“It was my fault.”
Antonis gives him a reproving look. “I like you, young prince. But you well know the law. Do not disappoint me, Galen. My granddaughter
is deserving of a proper mating ceremony. "

14 " Actually, I won’t be visiting land,” Galen says. He turns to Emma.
“I’ll be living here. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

15 " Because it’s Galen’s SUV.
From where I stand, I can see him looking
at me from behind the wheel. His face is
stricken and tired and relieved and pained. I
want to want to want to believe the look in
his eyes right now. The look that clearly says
he’s found what he’s looking for, in more
ways than one. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

16 " I’m not going to tell you it’s not dangerous for you. It is. But if we don’t do something, the Royals will be sentenced
to the Ice Caverns. You’ll never see Galen or your mother again. I’ll never see Rayna again.”
“But you’re mated to Rayna. Doesn’t that make you a Royal, too?”
“Not a true Royal, that’s not how it works. They’re only talking about purebloods. Paca will be exempt, too. If they’re sentenced to the Caverns, we’ll both be free to choose different mates. But I don’t want another mate, Emma. I want Rayna. I always have. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

17 " My dad always told me that holding a grudge is like swallowing poison and expecting the other person to die. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

18 " I wonder how many tears the ocean has swallowed, how much of the ocean is actually made of tears. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

19 " Did you hear what I said? She's ex-Mob. Her gun probably eats guns like that for breakfast. "

― Anna Banks , Of Triton (The Syrena Legacy, #2)

20 " And then Grom says: "I'm already mated to Paca."
The realization slaps us each in a different way.
Me, with elation
Galen, with...I'm not sure. He hasn't moved
Mom, with horror.
Toraf, with open-mouth shock that makes him look a bit silly.
Rayna, with "You idiot," she spits. "We told you-"
Grom points at her in the universal watch-yo-self sign. "
