Quotes edit see section history

  • “The direct approach.That meant one of two things. Incredible stupidity, or immeasurable fearlessness.”
  • “Vampiric boredomwas a frightening thing to behold. A Vampire tended to cause a great deal of upheaval when notdistracted or amused.”
  • “It also opens the potential of pissingoff a few of the elitist purists all of our races seem to have, arrogant, prejudiced bastards that we are. It isbound to cause trouble.”
    Damien
  • “I am Princess of this court, but I amqueen of riding both sides of a fence.”
    Syreena
  • “They were the verydefinition of what the Demons called an Imprinting; what humans called a soul mate. A perfect match. Ameeting of life forces that transcended the limitations of the body.”
  • “Isn’t that an oxymoron? A Vampire not causing trouble?”
    Syreena
  • “There is one thing a Vampire of great age enjoys more than anything else in the world and that is to be deeply and delightfully surprised. You, sweetling, are a veritable bundle of surprises.”
    Damien
  • “Resent may be too strong a word, though. Resentment is for childhood. Adults are merelyfrustrated.”
    Syreena
  • “Everyone needs praises. And if you were a weakling, Syreena, you would earn my disgust, not my pity.I have a very low threshold for people who sit around crying, waiting for everyone else to save them.”
    Damien
  • “Great. Now she grows a will of her own, he thought heatedly.”
    Damien
  • “'There are rules in our society, taboos and laws and superstitions, and we have broken so many ofthem it makes me dizzy.''Blood loss makes you dizzy, Syreena. Breaking the rules scares you to death.'”
    Syreena and Damien
  • “I won’t be afraid of her…not after I rip the little bitch’s heart out.”
    Siena
  • “I am the longest-lived member of our species, Jas. In all that time, I have never seen a Vampire fall inlove, wed, or mate for life. I think I have figured out why.”
    Damien
  • “The time spent on a pursuit does not matter if it turns out to be a false path in the end. All you can do isseek backward until you pick up the true path and can follow it instead. It is an old hunter’s philosophy,sweetling.”
    Damien
  • “For a Vampire, the more dangerous the stakes, the more diverting and delightful the prizeof success was.Life was not worth living if you were not willing to risk it.”
  • “No. I am not saying I am in love with her. But I am going to find out if I can be.”
    Damien
  • “The latest? Yes. Merely? No, Syreena. By the nature of who you are, it could never be a mere thing.”
    Damien
  • “Tell me my options, Damien. Make it clear. Do not couch it in pretty words and elusive observations.Be straight with me. Tell me what you want from me—from us, if there is to be an us.”
    Syreena
  • “Iwant to learn why it is and how it is you have effected these changes inside me, both physically andspiritually. I wish to know how one such as myself, so nonchalant in emotion all of his life, can be somoved by a single little creature like you.”
    Damien
  • “Grow up, little girl. Until you do, do not torment me withyour teasing and empty pledges. Despite rumors to the contrary, even my heart is sensitive.”
    Damien
  • “Why is it that when you say Prince like that, I feel like a German shepherd?”
    Damien
  • “Because I have never been in the habit of sleeping in the presence of others. Call it a Vampiric trustissue.”
    Damien
  • “If the joining of a Lycanthrope and a Demon had beenincredibly difficult, Elijah figured that a union between a Lycanthrope and a Vampire would be damn nearimpossible.”
  • “What part of being covered in blood is supposed to make you unattractive to a Vampire?”
    Damien
  • “It is Beltane. And they are newly wed. Everyone gets a little…freer than usual onthis night.”
    Jasmine
