I want in," the boy said. "In on what?" "You're the Hunter. You're hunting the slavers. I want in." "And how would you know that?" If someone had opened their mouth, he would be really put out. Jack gave a one-shouldered shrug. "We overhead you and Declan talking." "Declan's study is soundproof." "Not to reanimated mice," Jack said."

When I got a bad grade in my old boarding school, Kate would make a trip to the school to chew me out. When I got homesick, I'd flunk a grade on purpose. Sometimes she came by herself. Sometimes with other people. Boy kind of people. Of whom I promised myself I wouldn't be thinking about, because they were idiots.

Something clicked in my brain. "I remember where I've seen you before. You're Curran's..."--lover, mistress, honey-bunny--"significant other." Dear God, what could the Beast Lord's concubine possibly want from me?"

I kept my hands firmly on the iron rail before me. Grabbing the weight bar and walloping the Beast Lord upside the head wouldn't be the best diplomatic move. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty." There. I was civil. It almost killed me. "Apology accepted." "Will there be anything else?"Your Arrogance."

You want me to go back into that house protected by a magic sticky note?" "Don't even start," I told him. "It's working. If it weren't working, you couldn't drag me into that place." "What did you write on here? 'Don't die'?" No, I wrote, 'Don't be an a-hole!" I headed for the house. "On yours or mine?" "On yours" "Well, in that case, your magic isn't working. I'm still an asshole."

We have to stop anyway. I don't want you to regret this later. And I don't want your head to explode." "Really? You're so good that my head would explode?" It took him a moment. His expression changed from intense to speculative. "It's a possibility. I'm not a doctor, but Doolittle says it could happen." "That's a lot of expectation to live up to." "I exceed expectations." So modest, too." --

In a perfect world, Joshua's vertically gifted murderer would've had himself a monologue before rampaging, during which he loudly and clearly would've announced his full name, occupation, religious preference, preferably with his god's country and time period of origin, his goals, dreams, and aspirations, and the location of his lair. But nobody had ever accused post-Shift Atlanta of being perfect.

"I'm going to be a dark horse, House Baylor's secret. I'll be the best assassin. A legend. They'll never see me coming." I would kill Kurt. I would strangle him with my bare hands."

I held my hand out. "Give me a grenade." Andrea pulled open her backpack and slid a grenade into my palm. "Wait until they start shooting the Jeep. Boom comes first, shrapnel flies second. Count to ten before you run in there. And don't blow the device up." "Yes, Mother. It's not my first time." "That's the thanks I get for trying to keep you alive, Your Highness."

I'm no poet. I'm a soldier. So, I'll just tell you the way it is, as clumsy as it sounds. When I first saw you, it was like being thrown from a shuttle before it touched the ground. I fell and when I landed, I felt it in every cell of my body. You disturbed me. You took away my inner peace. You left me drifting. I wanted you right there. Them as I learned more of you, I wanted you even more. You want me too. I've seen it in your eyes. You t..

He surveyed me, his eyes half closed, as if wondering if I were a delicious snack. I had an image of a massive dragon circling me slowly, eyes full of magic fixed on me as he moved, considering if he should bite me in half. "Dragons." Rogan snapped his fingers. Oh crap. "I wondered why I kept getting dragons around you." He leaned forward. His eyes lit up, turning back to their clear sky blue. "You think I'm a dragon." "Don't be ridiculous...
