21 " I’d rather be sobbing with sorrow, screaming in fear, laughing until I was breathless or riding the very edge of a high than just keeping to the middle path. "
― Caroline Peckham , Shadow Princess (Zodiac Academy, #4)
22 " If you can’t handle the idea of me meeting other people, maybe even hooking up with them, then we can just call time on this thing between us. Because I’m not ever going to put my life on hold for a man. Especially one who doesn’t think I’m good enough to make the cut long term. "
23 " So I won’t let you ignore me, Roxy,” he snarled. “I’ll have your attention even if I have to take it without your permission.” “Why?” I demanded. “Why not just go after someone else?” “Because we don’t get to choose our obsessions. And you’re mine. "
24 " His muscles bulged from the workout, the Phoenix and Dragon tattoos which danced with each other on his back gleaming with sweat. "
25 " He’s never done anything like that to me,” I protested. Apart from that time he drove me up a mountain and I half thought he was going to kill me. But he didn’t, so... "
26 " Please,” she whispered, her hands curling around me. “Make the Heirs stop. "
27 " I don’t want you on your knees. I want you fighting me and hating me and fucking me like you mean it. You’re Roxanya Vega and you weren’t built to bow to anyone,” he growled passionately. “You want me to hate you?” I asked in surprise. "
28 " My Lady Petunia set her gaze on a rather virile Siren and he fell prey to her amorous adventures.” Angelica spat out a mouthful of coffee as a bark of laughter fell from my lips. “Did you just call your vagina Lady Petunia?” I choked. Darcy covered her mouth to hold back her laughter and Sofia was actually crying real tears. “Alas I did. And she’s a real predator when she sets her gaze on a tempting piece of banana drama,” Geraldine admitted. "
29 " Diego straightened in his chair, his gaze sharpening as he stared at me, his lips parting like he’d noticed the dark magic which came alive with my anger. "
30 " Stellae de zodiaci, accipere virtutem meam: da mihi virtutem quoque partum a ponte inter mundos! "
31 " Post velamentum autem amo ducere. Tolle eas Solaria, tolle eas in domum suam. Detrahet me in eos! "
32 " You will soon realise that all plans are futile. The only ones that matter are written in the stars. "
33 " The thing I feared most in life was boredom. I didn’t want to live an easy life, I wanted to blaze through an adventurous one and I’d choose to burn out entirely before I’d let myself whither in emptiness. "
34 " I’m calling my lawyers and getting them to take every fucking photo of her dressed like that off of the internet,” Darius growled. “She clearly took part in that shoot and must have signed off on the use of those photos,” I replied with a frown. "
35 " I came because all I want is to be free. And fear shackles you just as easily as chains if you let it. So do your worst…or don’t. I can’t control what you choose to do, but I can choose what I do. "
36 " He turned to face me, grinning as he ran a hand into his blonde curls and I backed up with a smile. "
37 " Professor Nox as he strode towards us through the thin crowd. His shirt was off, revealing a myriad of tattoos all over his flesh and his giant, black wings were tucked tight to his back. "
38 " I would never bow to him, but he could have me on my knees. "
39 " We’d never asked for this destiny, never wanted this power or a throne or to be pitted against the Heirs. But it was ours all the same. We’d been born to rule over this kingdom and the strength of our father and love of our mother ran through our veins. We were the most powerful Order of Fae that had been seen in a thousand years. We were the first Fae to possess all four Elements in living memory. "
