1 " I believe you’re not scared of commitment. I think you’re scared of committing to the wrong person. "
― Suzanne Wright , When He’s Dark (The Olympus Pride #1)
2 " Putting his mouth to her ear, he whispered something else in Russian. It gave her the chills in the best way. “What did that mean?” she asked. “You’re the person I want to spend the rest of my life trapping under the covers while I fart.” Bree stared at him. “If that’s not love, I don’t know what is. "
3 " It was just a game.” She nodded sagely. “And death is just a long nap. "
4 " Don’t you get it yet? I don’t have a single interest in living a life that doesn’t have you in it. "
5 " You should put her down before she bites you,” the wolf pup advised. “Or ask a vet to do it.” Emilia hissed. “Daddy, the mongrel’s saying I need to be put down again!” “So,” Alex cut in before the siblings could argue further. “What’ve you been up to while I was gone, Em?” “Driving my brother slowly insane.” “It’s good to have goals. "
6 " Alex let out a heavy breath. His uncle could demonstrate the ability to walk on water and Valentina would still call him useless purely because he didn’t work at her pace. "
7 " Okay, we need to make it clear right now how you should act when you feel like dishing out orders to me. Step one: Hesitate before you decide to throw your metaphorical dick around. Step two: Hesitate again, reminding yourself just how useless it would be to exert authority over me. Step three: repeat the first two steps at least once. If all else fails, go play Russian Roulette with a fully loaded pistol, because it’ll save me the trouble of shooting you in the face. "
8 " You’re the person I want to spend the rest of my life trapping under the covers while I fart. "
9 " If we’re ever on a malfunctioning airplane, I’ll totally help you put on your oxygen mask and life jacket before I put on my own.” Alex felt his mouth twitch. “Now that’s devotion right there. "
10 " Alex doubted any red-blooded male would blame him for that. "
11 " Alex had gone to check on her. He’d known from the sound of her sluggish heartbeat and shallow breathing that she was dying. "
12 " He took the necklace from the lion, moved behind her, and swept her hair aside. "
13 " They gave everything of themselves to their mate. Which sounded great. Until you considered just what it meant to be a wolverine’s anchor. They didn’t like being apart from their mate at all. They literally became their damn shadow—an unreasonably protective and uber-possessive shadow who’d adore every hair on their mate’s head while driving them insane. "
14 " Bree had not been put on this Earth to please. She also hadn’t been put on the Earth to own other people’s shit, "
15 " Feline omegas weren’t weak and low-ranked. They were an equal blend of dominant and submissive. And, for a reason no one could explain, they couldn’t be forced to submit by anyone—not even alphas. So, yeah, she could hold her own against dominant males just fine. "
16 " Why are we fighting?” “We’re not fighting. We’re arguing.” “How is that different?” “My claws are sheathed, and you’re not bleeding. But that can change fast. "
17 " She lightly grazed his jaw with her nails. “If we’re ever on a malfunctioning airplane, I’ll totally help you put on your oxygen mask and life jacket before I put on my own.” Alex felt his mouth twitch. “Now that’s devotion right there. "
18 " Honestly, just looking at him would push any woman’s “I need quality time with my vibrator” button. Yeah, there was a reason that batteries rarely lasted in Bree’s house. "
19 " Everyone needed an escape sometimes. Some used drugs or alcohol. She used books, and anyone who thought that was childish could go fuck themselves with a Tiki torch. "
20 " It wasn’t as if they went on killing sprees for fun. They didn’t bother you so long as you didn’t bother them. But if you pushed their buttons, they’d proceed to attack in a snarling, hissing, unholy display of pure fury—giving zero thought to whether their enemies were bigger, stronger, armed, or accompanied by backup. And what was wrong with that? "
