“The problem with wanting," he whispered, his mouth trailing along my jaw until it hovered over my lips, "is that it makes us weak.”

“He leaned against the window, and the gilded frame came into sharp focus. “Do you think it would be any different with your tracker beside you? With that Lantsov pup?â€�
“Yes,� I said simply.
“Because you would be the strong one?�
“Because they’re better men than you.�
“You might make me a better man.�
“And you might make me a monster.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

“Why waste my anger on you when the fault is mine? I should have anticipated another betrayal from you, one more mad grasp at some kind of childish ideal. But I seem to be a victim of my own wishes where you are concerned.â€� His expression hardened. “What have you come here for, Alina?â€�

I answered him honestly. “I wanted to see you.�

I caught the briefest glimpse of surprise before his face shuttered again. “There are two thrones on that dais. You could see me any time you liked.”

“It’s true,â€� I said softly. “You are stronger, wiser, infinite in experience.â€� I leaned forward and whispered, my lips brushing the shell of his ear. “But I am an apt pupil.”

“He’d wanted me to believe in his ruthlessness.
Then I remembered his words from so long ago: Make me your villain.”

“I’ve never understood this taste for ´Ç³Ù°ì²¹³ú²¹³Ù’s²â²¹. Is it because you thought you were one of them for so long?â€�
“I had a taste for you, once.â€� His head snapped up. He hadn’t expected that. Saints, it was satisfying.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Ruin and Rising

“I got used to seeing him waiting for me at the end of corridors, or sitting at the edge of my bed when I fell asleep at night. When he didn’t appear, I sometimes found myself looking for him or wondering why he hadn’t come, and that frightened me most of all.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

“Don’t worry, tracker. You’ll know when our deal is up...I’ll be certain you hear it when I make her scream.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Siege and Storm

“Why did you go to her?

Because with her he was human again.”

“I knew there was no bottom to the Darkling's pain. He would just keep falling and falling.”

“You begged me for clemency once," he called over the dead reaches of the Fold, over the hungry shrieks of the horrors he had made. "Is this your idea of mercy?"

Another bullet hit the sand, only inches from us. Yes, I thought as the power rose up inside me, the mercy you taught me.”

“The problem with wanting," he whispered, his mouth trailing along my jaw until it hovered over my lips, "is that it makes us weak." And then, at last, when I thought I couldn't bear it any longer, he brought his mouth down on mine.”

Surrender your fears. Surrender your strengths.

“I want you to know my name,â€� he said. “The name I was given, not the title I took for myself. Will you have it, Alina?â€�
I could feel the weight of Nikolai’s ring in my palm back at the Spinning Wheel. I didn’t have to stand here in the Darkling’s arms. I could vanish from his grip, slide back into consciousness and the safety of a stone room hidden in a mountaintop. But I didn’t want to go. Despite everything, I wanted this whispered confidence.
“Yes,� I breathed.
After a long moment, he said, “Aleksander.�
A little laugh escaped me. He arched a brow, a smile tugging at his lips. “What?�
“It’s just so � common.� Such an ordinary name, held by kings and peasants alike. I’d known two Aleksanders at Keramzin alone, three in the First Army. One of them had died on the Fold.
His smile deepened and he cocked his head to the side. It almost hurt to see him this way. “Will you say it?� he asked.
I hesitated, feeling danger crowd in on me.
“Aleksander,� I whispered.
His grin faded, and his gray eyes seemed to flicker.
“Again,� he said.

“My name is Aleksander Morozova, but I have had a hundred names and I have committed a thousand crimes. I am not sorry. I do not repent!”
― Leigh Bardugo, Rule of Wolves

“There are rumors that your Lantsov prince has been sighted.â€�
I drifted nearer, trying to keep my voice casual. “Where?�
He glanced up, his lips curling in a slight smile. “Do you like him?�
“Does it matter?�
“It’s harder when you like them. You mourn them more.”

“He slumped back in his chair. "Fine," he said with a weary shrug. "Make me your villain.”
― Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone

“Fine, make me your villain.”

“I took another step. He stilled. [...] I reached up and and cupped his cheek with my hand. THis time the flash of confusion on his face was impossible to miss. He held himself frozen, his only movement the steady rise and fall of his chest. Then, as if in concession, he let his eyes close.

"It's true," I said softly. "You are stronger, wiser, infinite in experience." I leaned forward and whispered "But I am an apt pupil.”

“Ravka non avrebbe mai accettato una regina Grisha.
Con Alina era stato diverso; lei era una Santa molto amata dal popolo, era il simbolo della speranza per il futuro. Ma per i cittadini comuni di Ravka Zoya sarebbe sempre stata la strega dai capelli corvini che governava le tempeste.
Pericolosa. Inaffidabile. Non avrebbero mai consegnato il loro prezioso figlio dorato a una ragazza nata dal fulmine, dal tuono e dal volgo.”
