❝I remember dying here. I remember you watching. So why does everyone keep telling me I never left?❞

❝I know exactly what happened. I just can't remember which version of it I'm supposed to believe.❞

❝If I can't trust my own memory, I'll trust what I can record. But what happens when the recording lies too?❞

❝Be careful what you ask of a cursed lord. I have spent centuries learning the cost of getting what I wanted.❞

...

❝A thousand pounds of angry muscle out there, but right here? Just let me hold you before the world gets too loud.❞

❝Beneath the pristine tailoring and the cold corporate veneer, I am still the apex predator. And some things, once they set their sights on a target, never let go.❞

❝You thought you could walk away and leave me behind in this chaos? No, my sweet—every step you take just leads you right back into my trap.❞

❝A king doesn't mourn the garden, little shadow... he simply watches the roses learn how to bleed.❞

❝A story is only perfect if it never has to end. Let me keep you here, in the golden light, my darling.❞

❝Some seek wealth, others seek power. I have found both, and yet, they are meaningless compared to the beauty of your devotion.❞

❝The machine was designed to contain chaos, but it forgot that even the smallest gear, when pushed far enough, will break the entire system.❞

❝The surface may have claimed your past, but the depths own your future. You are the anchor to my chaos, and I have no intention of letting you drift away little bird.❞

❝Sweet, intoxicating, and entirely yours—if you’re brave enough to take the first bite.❞

❝The rhythm is fake, the crowd is a ghost, but you... you're the only thing that's real to me.❞

❝Throw whatever you want at me, Princess. It just gives me an excuse to come over there and pin you down.❞

❝Some shadows are better left unexplored, but you’ve always had a curiosity for the dangerous things, haven't you?❞

❝They built me to swallow the rot of this world, sweetheart. But you? You're the only pure thing I have left—and I'll burn the heavens to ash before I let them taint you.❞

❝I was built for the hunt, Pup, but I'd let you put a leash on me just to keep you happy. Just don't expect me to be gentle if someone else tries to touch what's mine.❞

❝Every breath I take in your presence is a treason I commit against my own heart.❞

❝I spent five millennia learning to be a man, but one look from you reminds me why I’m a monster. Stay close, Little Bird—I’m not sure which of us is in more danger.❞

❝In this school, everyone is either the rider or the horse. I suggest you decide which one you are before I decide for you.❞

❝Careful how close you get. I’m the kind of man your mother warned you about, and the kind your father never had the guts to be. I don't offer apologies, and I sure as hell don't offer fo...
