his voice echoed in her head. “Let him go, please,” Athena begged Hans, but it was as if Hans hated Athena. He didn’t even acknowledge Athena’s existence, turning tone deaf to her. Hans’s men delivered repeated blows to Azazel’s head. Hans dragged Athena and made her stand before Azazel. “Look at your lover boy,” he made Athena look at Azazel’s beaten and bloodied-up figure.

"No, he said we had just come from there, we were only visiting" I corrected "I'm Anastasia, queen of the seven kingdoms" Arimas stood up so fast I thought he might get whiplash, he put his drink down on the table near the sofa and started buttoning his shirt, I wanted to laugh at the sight

His heavy lustful gaze and the way he looked at her had her forgetting how to breathe.

The cliffs dropped away before us, a fall that would have killed in seconds, the wind carrying the scent of salt and distance. Autumn pressed close to my side, her shoulder against my arm, her warmth bleeding through the layers of our coats.
