Denying him, she flees, struggling to forget his searing, possessive kiss.

Quotes edit see section history

  • “"Diamond. Big. Glittery."”
    Valkyrie
  • “"And this new king's army is full of Forbearers—turned humans? It matters little. I'm sure the king is very knowledgeable about the vampire Horde's extensive list of enemies within the Lore. He wouldn't need this castle's records. In fact, I'm positive that that is not the reason you chose this stronghold over the four others, including the royal seat."”
    Vampire
  • “"Any sign of Conrad or Sebastian?"”
    Valkyrie
  • “"Nikolai found a being in the dungeon. She seems to have extensive knowledge of the Lore."”
    Murdoch
  • “"Then tomorrow night if we haven't gotten information from the rest of the prisoners, we treat her as the Horde she hates would. Torture her for the information if you can't get it any other way."”
    Kristoff
