We could run away. I’d stay with you.
This is only about love.
Her attitude? You mean Efron enjoys spiteful bitchiness...
I’ve always welcomed war, but when the last battle ends, what life is left for a warrior?
He leaned toward me, murmuring, “I think one-on-one sounds better, don’t you?” His teeth gently caught my earlobe. All my muscles turned to liquid. I dropped the stirring rod and grabbed the edge of the table so I wouldn’t collapse.
I’m too honest to be positive.
He no longer needed me to be his protector, but he still wanted me.
Despair threatened to drag me down, but I fought it back, clinging to a single, flickering thought. Shay loves me. He would risk everything to find his way back to my side and set me free. Because that’s what love is, isn’t it? It has to be.
Why couldn’t I have puppy love? I only seem to have “I can’t decide if I want to rip your throat out or kiss you” love. Ugh.

He is Monroe’s son.” I pointed at Ren. “And he’s your best hope to win this war.” “He’s what?” Shay’s voice was dead quiet. I’m what?” Ren kept his own voice to a whisper, but the look he’d thrown me was a bit alarmed.
Abandon hope, all ye who enter here.
I didn’t know where love would lead me, but my pack would always be at my side. More than anything else, that was what mattered.
