A soft moan escaped from the girl's mouth, the scent of which he had caught a whiff of earlier. It was an intoxicating aroma. "You know what you have to do here, right?" Beatrice chose not to answer. She turned her face away from the man who was still staring at her intensely, full of intimidation.

"Never disrespect me when I'm speaking."

“You don’t have to-” “Stop talking,” Braxton cut her off. Fair enough, Adira thought. When the silence fell over them again, Adira thought that was it.

The silence stretched out and Adira had taken Braxton’s quiet as his answer so she almost jumped when he spoke up again. “Just take my word for it. Aethelgarde may not be the best sometimes, but it looks like heaven compared to some of the other places out there.”

Erin raises her finger, ready to announce her own rules. "Spill," "As long as my father will never find your place, I'm safe." she said. Ajax wanted to smirk hearing her first deal because no one could discover his place. No one can except for those he gave permissions and creatures like them.

Although you owned the house, you can't just barge inside my chosen room. We should respect everyone's privacy."

Half the men follow the king that left, stating the very reason for not getting anything in return for the marriage, leaving only about half the men sitting before me. Twenty-five more to go. This game is about to get real dirty.

“Petty guy.” She skimmed the rules aloud: “Rule one — obey and respect, no matter what. Rule two — no dirty words. Rule three — don’t dare fall in love with me.” Avery burst into laughter. “Please, you should be more worried about yourself.” Kieran’s lips twitched into the faintest smirk. “We’ll see about that.” “Rule five — no interfering in each other’s personal lives. And the last one… every action comes with a reward or punishment, decided by you. Huh. Interesting.”

I wrinkled my nose in disgust. "I love how you hate people and civilization. My little land fairy, so pissed at the humans for building their big cities at the risk of your beautiful vegetation." "Well, they are ruining the earth with their blasted civilization," I said hotly. "C. Eh. Let me think-" "You have five seconds." "Hey! That wasn't in the rules." "Four, three-" "A canal boat ride!" I cried. "You can't add new rules in the middle of a game."

I did break so much of rules for him and I never regret that. And now when I see him, I feel proud that I broke those rules of my own.

He kept his hands open, palms down, like a person learning how to ask. “Rules for us,” I said. “Or rules for the world.” “Both,” he said. “Start with you.” “Fine,” I said, and surprised us both by not needing to think. “Rule one: No weaponizing. Not the pregnancy. Not Noah. Not our proximity. If there’s a choice between winning a headline and keeping a person, we keep the person.”

"It's my duty to help someone regardless of what race they came from. Don't bow your head to me, I'm not that great. I'm just a healer wolf." I was about to speak when she quickly stopped me. "Don't bow your head to anyone Lauren and don't you ever kneel in front of someone. No one in this world is that great for you to do those things. Show respect but don't do those things ."
