“I'm afraid of never being allowed to feel what I do.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“I can’t keep pretending that I don’t want this â€� that I don’t want you. I can’t. Not after what happened to you. It thoughtâ€� I thought I’d lost you, Alex, forever. And I would’ve lost everything. You are my everything.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“That simple act stole my breath, my heart. But even as he pulled away, I realized that he couldn't steal something he already had.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Because I love you, we share each other’s problems. When we fight, we fight together. I’m going to be by your side no matter what, whether you like it or not. That’s what love is, Alex. You never have to face anything alone again. And I get what you’re saying. I don’t agree with it, but I will support you in any way I can.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“I know what's happened," Apollo said after a few seconds. My brows furrowed. "What are you talking about?" He nodded at the board. My gaze dropped to the game and I nearly passed out. He'd spelled SEX and AIDEN with those stupid little squares.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“How are you feeling?"
I leaned away from him. "Gross."
Aiden frowned. "Gross?"
"I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face in days. Don't come near me."
He laughed. "Alex, come on."
"Seriously, I'm gross." I put my hand over my mouth.
Ignoring my protests, he leaned over and brushed my string hair back. "You're as beautiful as always, Alex."
I stared at him. He must not get out much.”

“Don't look at me like I've kicked a baby pegasus into the street.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Gods, it was a messed up day when I was the voice of reason.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Aiden had slipped under my skin, wrapped himself around my heart and embedded himself into my bones.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Yeah, I'm great. Nothing like witnessing a death match between gods when I'm trying to get some Cheetos. -Deacon”

“Sometimes you have to know when to let hope go.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“May I ask why you’re passing notes to Aiden?â€� He eyed the letter like it was a bomb.
“It’s a love note. I’m asking him to circle ‘yesâ€� or ‘noâ€� if he likes me.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Hot or not, there went my tenuous grip on my temper. 'I don't need you looking out for what's best for me, Aiden. I'm not a child!'

His eyes narrowed. 'I of all people know you're not a child, Alex. And I sure as hell didn't treat you like one last night.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“The Guards in front of the dais turned and froze. Then they scattered like roaches.
Apollo moved up the aisle. “Yeah, that’s what I thought.�
“I will find you! We’re connected. We are one!� Seth was still screaming.
His gaze fell to the god. He sneered. “You want to fight me now, in your
true form?�
“I will fight you in any form, you little punk-ass brat.�
Seth laughed. “You can’t kill me.�
“But I can beat the living snot out of you.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“She's Awakening,' Aiden said, voice tight.
'But the blood...' I heard Marcus move closer. 'Why is she bleeding?'
I eased onto my side. 'I'm being tattooed by a giant, mother fu-' Another strangled scream cut of my words as a different type of pain settled in, moving under my skin. It was like lighting racing through my veins, frying every nerve ending.
'This is... wow,' Deacon said, and I pried my eyes open. There was a whole audience by the door.
'Get them out of here!' I screamed, jackknifing on the floor. 'Gods, this sucks!'
'Whoa,' I heard Deacon murmur. 'This is like watching a chick give birth or something.'
'Oh my gods, I'm going to kill him.' I could feel the beads of blood breaking out under my jeans. 'I'm going to punch him-'
'Everyone leave,' Aiden ground out. 'This isn't a godsdamn show.'
'And I think he's like the father,' Luke said.
Aiden rose to his feet. 'Get. Out.”

“You’ll have a piece of my heart â€� all of it, really. Forever.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“I couldn't be dead. I hadn't even brushed my teeth, for crying out loud”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“You're too strong to ever lose yourself. I believe that. Why can't you?”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“My last conscious thought was of my biggest mistake- not the boy beside me, but the one i could never have.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Aidenâ€� I can’t see anything.â€�
“That’s the point.�
“Well, thanks, Captain Obvious.� I reached out blindly, but only felt air. “What do you expect me to do in here?� As soon as the question left my mouth, I was assaulted with totally inappropriate images of all the things we could do in here.
“We fight.�
Well that blew.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Just so you know, I get incredibly bored quite easily and you will be forced to be my source of entertainment. You'll kind of be like my own personal jester."
I flipped him off.
"Well that wasn't funny at all.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Letting my heart instead of my hormones decide when to do it made what Aiden and I'd done special. And when we passed each other throughout the day, the looks we stole suddenly meant more. Everything meant more, because we both were risking it all and neither of us regretted that.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“The alien in my uncle hand obviously taken full control. Soon, it would claw its way out of his stomach and tap dance across my bed”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Whispers followed me down the hall. Ignoring them was harder than I´d imagined. Every Cell in my body demanded that I confront them. And do what? Jump on them like a crazy spider monkey and take them all out? Yah, not going to win me any fans.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“A second later, there was a knock on my door and a booming voice. 'Alexandria?'
Seth stilled above me, panting. 'You have got to be freaking kidding me.'
Leon knocked again. [...] 'Lucian is requesting your presence immediately.' Another gap of silence followed. 'He is also requesting to see you, Seth.'
Seth frowned as the gleam in his eyes faded. 'How in the world does he know I'm in here?'
'Leon...just knows.' I pushed at him weakly. 'Get off.'
'I was trying to.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Throwing a sub at the Apollyon probably wasn't something that should be done in public. But I couldn't help it; I laughed.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“You think I don't know?' I heard Seth say in a smug, knowing way. 'That I didn't know this entire time I've been gone?'
'Know what?' Aiden sounded surprisingly calm.
Seth laughed softly. 'She may be here with you, right now, but that's just a moment in time in the big scheme of things. And all moments end, Aiden. Yours will, too.'
I wanted to throw open the door and tell Seth to shut up.
'Sounds like something on the back of a twisted Hallmark card,' replied Aiden.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“Oh, dear gods, this was turning into a boy fight.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“He doesn't really know, Alex. He thinks he's in control, but he's not. Don't... don't believe everything you hear. There's still hope.”
― Jennifer L. Armentrout, Deity

“A fine shiver coursed over my skin. “Seth?â€� “Yeah?â€� “You were in my dream.â€� One amber-colored eye opened. “Please tell me we were naked.â€� I rolled my eyes. “You’re such a perv.â€� He sighed mournfully as he wiggled closer. “I’ll take that as a no.â€� “You’d be correct.â€� Unable to fall back to sleep, I started chewing on my lip. So many worries surfaced at once that my brain spun.”
