Warmth spilled into my chest, like I'd just gotten away with playing with fire. I wanted to do it again. Was this how people became addicts?
"There are three sides to every story. Mine, yours and the truth."
"A flash of anger had pulsed in my chest from my cousin's disrespect, and, oddly enough, burned even hotter at the fact he was threatening the Sweet Abelli. The annoying feeling rushed over me that only I could threaten her- so I fucking shot him and watched the blood splatter against Elena's white dress."
"We have not met," I said firmly.
He cocked a brow in a cavalier way. "You sure? Here I was under the impression you had me all figured out."
My heart fluttered so fast it couldn't be healthy. I had no idea what to say because he was right. This interaction wasn't doing anything to prove he wasn't who I thought he was all along, however.
He smothered an absent hand down his tie. "Do you know what assuming gets you?"
"killed?" I breathed.
"smart girl." the words were deep and soft.
🖤(*giggling)
"A warm rush of recognition ran down my spine as I met his heavy gaze.
Light brown eyes, the color of whiskey on ice, and thick, dark lashes."
(I love eyes description 🖤🤎)
"Then you consider them my guests.
I do not ask permission of you-of anyone- to bring guests into my own home."
"Xaden--" Ulices starts.
"or did you forget that this is my house?" Xaden tilts his head to the side and stares at them in the same way Sgaeyl studies prey.
"My life is tethered to Violet's, so if you want me in that fucking chair, you'll accept her."
Ulices's skin blotches while I feel the blood rushed from mine.
His chair.The empty one. He's the seventh.
Holy shit. I knew this was his house, of course, but it never really registered. This is all Xaden's. No noble has claimed the duchy of Aretia-. They all think the land is ruined, or worse - cursed. It's all his.
"What have you done?" Carr shouts, running for us, his wispy hair flying in all directions as he lifts his hands. "You'll end us all, over who? People you've never met? I won't allow it!"
"Bodhi!" Xaden orders as Carr reaches Third Wing.
Fire erupts from Carr's hands, streaming toward the dais, and my stomach drops.
Time seems to slow as Bodhi steps forward and twists his hand like he's turning a dial.
The fire dies, extinguishing like it was never there and leaving Carr staring at his hands.
"You taught us well, Professor," Bodhi says, holding his hand in place. "Maybe a little too well."
Damn.
"He can counter signets," Xaden tells me.
Well that's fucking terrifying.
فاصلہ دیو ہوتا ہے۔ سارے تعلق کھا جاتا ہے۔ پیار کا، دل کا، دوستی کا، رشتوں کا۔

"You want to know something true? Something real? I love you. I'm in love with you. I have been since the night the snow fell in your hair and you kissed me for the first time. I'm grateful my life is tied to yours because it means I won't have to face a day without you in it. My heart only beats as long as yours does, and when you die, I'll meet Malek at your side. It's a damned good thing that you love me, too, because you're stuck with me in this life and every other that could possibly follow."
🖤
"You'll lose everything you've worked for." My voice breaks. "Because of me."
"Then I'll have everything I need.I will happily watch Aretia burn to the fucking ground again if it means you live."
"You don't mean that." He loves his home. He's done everything to protect his home.
"I do. I'm sorry if you expect me to do the noble thing. I warned you. I'm not sweet or soft or kind, and you fell anyway. This is what you get, Violet- me. The good, the bad, the unforgivable. All of it. I am yours."
"you came." I stumble forward, and Dain is smart enough to let me go.
Xaden catches me, shadows grasping his sword as he splays his hand over my back and cradles me against his chest with a light touch, like he's afraid I might break.
"There's no where I existence you could go that I wouldn't find you, remember?"
he drops his lips to the dirty, frayed, blood-spattered remains of my braid and kisses the top of my head."
🖤
I wrap the fingers of my unbroken hand around the familiar hilt as Dain draws the sword at his side, holding it at Nora's throat when she lunges into the cell. "Let us pass, and you'll live."
"I make no such promises." The low, menacing threat weakens my knees a second before a hand with a dagger reaches around Nora's throat, slicing without hesitation.
She falls, a torrent of blood flowing from the gaping wound in her neck.
I look up into the wrath of Dunne in the form of gold-flexed onyx eyes."
(He's finally here 🖤)
"Violence, remember it's the body that's fragile. you're unbreakable."

کسی انسان کو ماپنے کا پیمانہ اس کی شکل، ہنر یا اس کے پاس موجود نعمتیں نہیں ہوتی۔
انسان کا پیمانہ ہے اس کا کردار۔۔۔اس کی ایمانداری۔۔۔اس کی دانائی۔۔۔
اس کی وفا۔۔۔
اس کی محبت۔۔۔
سچی دوستی۔۔۔
اور یہی ہے انسان کی میراث۔

تلاش میں سحر بار بار گزری ہے
haunted by myself
having haunting emptiness
as a scary effect
of this drug withdrawal.
سلام اس پر کہ جس نے بے کسوں کی دستگیری کی
سلام اس پر کہ جس نے بادشاہی میں فقیری کی
سلام اس پر کہ جس کے گھر میں نہ چاندی تھی نہ سونا تھا
سلام اس پر کہ ٹوٹا بوریا جس کا بچھونا تھا
سلام اے آمنہ کے لال، اے محبوبِ سبحانی
سلام اے موجودات، فخر نوع انسانی
تیری صورت، تیری سیرت، تیرا نقشہ، تیرا جلوہ
تبسّم، گفتگو، بندہ نوازی، خلقتِ شانی
تیرا در ہو، میرا سر ہو، میرا دل ہو، تیرا در ہو
تمنا اتنی سی ہے مگر تمہید تھی لانی
🖤🌸
شر سے بچنے کے لئے شر پسندوں سے دور رہنا پڑتا ہے۔
وقت کی پگڈنڈی پہ رک کر، میں نے لمحوں کو پھسلتے دیکھا ہے۔
