Emily, there are enemies everywhere. We have to be on our guard, especially for the next couple of weeks._ Theo sighed unhappily. __his is going to be the longest fortnight of my life._ __hat__ saying something,_ I joked, __iven how long you__e lived._ __xactly,_ he said, without smiling.

I can also speak to small woodland creatures,_ he grins at me.

The most self-damaging words in the English language are: try, might, and if. These are words of uncertainty. Will you fail? That is possible. But continue doubting your abilities and you__l never succeed.

In a fight between a shifter and a witch, the shifter would often win__ut only if they could keep the witch from speaking, usually by severing the throat or tearing out the tongue. If the witch was powerful enough, and quick enough, physical size didn't matter. Catherine had heard of the horrible ways the witches could kill their victims. Cooking them alive from the inside out, restricting oxygen flow through the nasal and oral passages by creating a vacuum, drowning them with vapor pulled from the very air.It made fights between shifters look almost humane by comparison.

Brodie found herself frowning in confusion, the rugged handsome one was making no sense. __ut I just want to have sex with you_ no commitment, no sharing. If anything, I would prefer it if you didn__ talk at all, before, during, or after the act.

She__ been seconds away from kissing the man_ no, throttling him, for his sheer audacity._ __ou expect me to bat my eyes and thrust my tits into some hairy creature__ face and then run away like a giggling simpleton?___hey only have the one eye under all that hair, and their eyesight is notoriously bad, so you can probably just keep your_ tits where they are._

Turning her attention back to her Aunt she sighed softly._ ____ really like my security deposit back on this place, so if you do end up having to kill him_ well__abha laughed softly, patting her niece on the arm. __on__ worry, I__l do it outside.___ood.__ Devon sighed with relief. That was one less thing to worry about._ __s long as we__e on the same page.

Your head is incredibly hard_you__l be fine.___o much for bedside manner. You didn__ think about cushioning my fall before I hit the ground?___lease, would you jump in front of an oak tree to stop it falling?___ou__e comparing me to a falling tree?

Ridiculous! I couldn__ marry, mate, or whatever it entailed with Zane. He was a werewolf. With my assorted backgroundI was all for interracial relationships. Interspecies? _ The jury was still out on that possibility.

You can only fight what you are for so long. Eventually the hand that nature has dealt you will make you become what you were meant to be. You have no control over it.

She exhaled curtly. ____ a serryn. That__ all you see. I__ just something to be tortured, slain or sold off as a commodity. That__ hardly the most appealing of traits._ __ell your eyes that. Because you really shouldn__ look at me the way you do. No serryn has looked at me like that.

The rarity of what you hold is more powerful than you can imagine. It is a gift for humanity and the most lethal curse to the vampires.

Playing the martyr doesn__ suit you, Leila.___aybe not, but playing the complete and utter bastard clearly suits you.

I will not be threatened. Do you understand me?_ He leaned closer again, his lips less than a couple of inches from hers. __ow try saying it without trembling.

If he looks at me like that again Dottie will need a bucket and mop to get me back to my room.

For the first time in his centuries of life, doing the right thing didn__ seem like the right thing to do.

Nikolai had expected to have to fight the urge to torture the progeny of his father__ murderer, but he had never anticipated fighting the urge to fuck her.

God, fate was a sick, twisted bitch. Doomed. He was certainly and absolutely heading straight for the fiery pits of Hell, he realized, as he lusted for his sworn enemy, the vampire.
