Tansies were often associated with hatred and disdain, while orange lilies represented pride and arrogance. Xavier couldn't help but wonder if Cathleen had a heart at all, or if it too had been tainted by these negative connotations.

An overwhelming sensation runs through my veins, as the dormant desire to monopolize someone stirs in me dangerously. I clench my fists hard, trying to win over my instincts. “Lorcan? What's wrong with you?” I hear Dylan’s voice that’s contoured with worry. “Open your eyes, Lorcan,” Orlo says, putting his hand on my clenched fist.

Her eyes grew wide and her lips began to move rapidly, like someone had changed the speed, making her mouth not match up with the words the voices were saying. “Crimson approaches and the redeemer is near.
