21 " No stonger allies no greater friends no bigger fighters of honor could a king behould then these assembled afore me mine brothers mine blood "
― J.R. Ward , Lover Avenged (Black Dagger Brotherhood, #7)
22 " Destiny had a 518 area code..who knew." - Ehlena "
23 " Because sometimes the only thing that got you through hell was that you were in too deep to pull out. "
24 " John Matthew was her well of soul, as the symphaths called it,or her pyrocant, to the vampires. Her essential weakness. "
25 " Wrath was in a bad mood, and he knew this because the sound of the doggen waxing the wooden balustrade at the top of the main staircase was making him want to light the whole fucking mansion on fire. "
26 " But every once in a while, from out of the blue, someone reaches the quiet place where you spend your private time and changes the way you see yourself "
27 " Kind of like winning the fifty-meter ass-stroke in the Loserlympics "
28 " John took his fucking time in Xhex's shower , washing himself thoroughly not because he was dirty, but because he figured two could play at the whole whip-the-state-clean, what-happened-didn't-happen thing. "
29 " Sorry, you're on the ride now, and there's no getting off in the middle. "
30 " She did nothing to try to control the shakes that rattled her body,and didn't attempt to stop herself from crying. Tears left both of her eyes at the far corners,slipping out and flowing over her temples.Some landed in her ears. Some eased down her neck and were absorbed by the pillow.Others clouded her vision,as if they didn't want to leave home. "
31 " Man, some open doors were not welcoming, and that was so the case here—less hi-how’re-ya, more come-in-so-your-skin-can-be-used-to-make-a-super-hero-cape-for-one-of-Hannibal-Lecter’s-patients. "
32 " I was living with this sense that there was something going on, something important, but I didn't know what it was. It was like...I knew the secret was there, and it was a dark one, but I just couldn't reach it. Nearly drove me mad. "
33 " Even the powerful needed protection sometimes. "
34 " As she stood down below him on the street,it seemed impossible that she'd connected with him as she had,but then,the phone was virtual relating,one step up from being online.Both people were in their own environments,invisible to each other,only their voices mixing.It was false intimacy. "
35 " None of them knew that it wasn't because he was a nice guy; it was because he was one of them. The hard reality was that life had put them all where they didn't want to be, namely on their backs for people they didn't want to be fucking. "
36 " You’re one in a million, John Matthew, "
37 " Life is such a glorious trauma, is it not? - Wrath "
38 " Proprio non capisci, Ehlena?" Con delicatezza le accarezzò il polpaccio e le sollevò il piede, posandolo sulla propria coscia. Poi, slacciando le stringhe della misera ballerina di tela Keds, mormorò: "Qualunque cosa indossi... per me sarai sempre una regina. "
39 " The princess stood in the center of the cabin, her brilliant red robes and the rubies at her throat and her bloodred eyes all the color of hatred. With her stark hair twisted up off her neck, and her pale skin, and the live albino scorpions she wore as earring, she was an exquisite horror, a Kabuki doll constructed by an evil hand. And she was evil, her darkness coming to him in waves, emanating from the center of her chest even as nothing about her moved and her moonlike face remained unmarred by a frown. "
40 " symphaths treated everything like a chess match—right down to the moment they captured your king, turned your queen into a whore, and burned down your castles. "
