“He didn't say anything more, just waited for me to tell him what I'd been thinking. It was pure speculation, and I was opening myself up to ridicule by saying anything at all. I sat on the stool and realized that I had my loyalties, too.”

“She crawled on top of him, naked and warm and soft, smelling like a miracle that had saved him from a lifetime of aloneness.”

“Coffee or orange juice?”
“Water is fine.”
His eyebrows went up.
“Uh-oh,” Auriele said, but she was smiling.
Darryl was not. “Are you implying that my coffee is not the best in four counties? Or my fresh-squeezed orange juice is less than perfect?”

“Don’t fuss. I love you just as you are, Mercy. I don’t need to swallow you whole, I don’t need to be in your head at all times. I just need to know that you’re there.”

“I think I’ll just go take a shower,” I said.
It wasn’t until Samuel stiffened that I remembered I’d just come out of the shower. So much for playing normal.”

“I feel like I'm lost in an anime movie" I said, as Coyote picked the thing up. "One of the tentacle-monster ones." Most of them were X-rated and ended up with a lot of dead people.”

“Usually the people I do know are sufficient to spawn any number of nightmares without inventing any.”

“You okay now?" he asked.
"Okay."
He tightened his arms and lifted me off my feet. "Mercy?" he growled into my ear. I wrapped my legs around his waist. " Yeah", I said. "Me too.”

“I was going to have to come up with a rank for myself besides Alpha's mate. In the pack, I was just Mercy- but if ten more people called me the Alpha's mate, I was going to hit someone. It sounded like a chess move.”

“You’re a dead man,” Kyle said. “Warren doesn’t take kindly to people who hurt me.”

“No, really," I said. "Now that we know that Flores is really this nasty, fiery, superpowerful nothing-can-kill-me demon from hell, maybe we should consider just giving Christy to him?”

“I liked Lost in Space,” Stefan said.
“The movie or the TV series?”
“The movie? Right. I had forgotten about the movie,” he said soberly. “It was better that way.”

“Death isn't a tragedy to God, only to those left behind.”

“Zack shook his head. "I am glad you aren't mine. You're going to be dead before you're forty."
"No," rumbled my husband's soft deep voice from the hallway. "I'm going to be dead before she's forty.”

“He loved her beyond all reason and didn't expect her to love him back. He was just waiting for her to wise up.”

“I don't get mad, I get even.”

“We are none of us perfect, and… we learn to take these imperfections and make them only a small part of who we are”

“I thought you couldn't make it here until morning," I said.
"I hurried.”

“This world has need of song and sword.”

“But that is the dual gift of love, isn’t it? The joy of greeting and the sorrow of good-bye.”

“Some people will tell you werewolves can only shapechange under a full moon, but people also say there's no such things as ghosts.”

“You play games with people's lives.(…) You forget that they are fragile.”

“That is the freakiest thing that ever happened to me.” I nodded toward the mess. “And if you knew my life, you’d realize just how freaky that is.”

“Anna looked at Brother Wolf. ‘I’d like to see someone try to put a radio control collar on Charles. It might be fun to watch on YouTube.”

“I like what you've done to your face," Ben said, tapping his eye.”

“Almost-Sister, you picked a real catch.”
“It was I who caught her,” Adam said softly. “It took years.”

“You'd tell the world what your best friend wore to sleep if you thought it made a good enough story.”

“In this dream, I wasn’t a coyote shapeshifter trying to hold a werewolf, I was Coyote’s almost daughter, and I had all the strength of the world in my arms.”

“There was I thinking being a shifter had its upsides. Looks like I was wrong.”
