I've hated you for the longest time, but I've loved you for longer." ~ Stefan #5 The Veil Series, Ties That Bind,

Get off that damn chair and pull yourself together. You're supposed to be an ageless creature of chaos and all I'm getting right now is sulking city boy.

Oh, I'd kill him - once I figured out how to summon my demon before he could pin her down again. He was so going on my revenge list.

Shit. We were practically married. The lack of sex proved it.

If I ever have to get that close to the Prince of Greed again, it'll be too fuckin' soon. And I ain't ever doin' that Star-Trek teleportation crap again, yah hear? I feel dirty .

You think this is funny?" I snorted. "You would. Your sense of humor is so dark, even the lesser demons don't get you.

Make a habit of inviting demons over?" "Yeah, actually. Wednesdays are movie nights. They bring the snacks.

The lust for chaos wrenched reason from my mind. She wanted the power I'd called before. She wanted to burn it all; to slice open the veil and summon the fires of hell to dance for her. She burned for it, and so did I." ~ Muse

He stood in my quaint kitchen, looking somewhere between intrigued and mildly bored, the picture of sophisticated elegance in his obscenely expensive suit. Cufflinks reflected the light while his eyes captured it. Immortal. Ageless. Infinite. So toxic, he should come with a danger-of-death warning sign.

He had no right to look so accommodating when I knew the sort of man he really was; the sort who sacrificed his own son in the name of science, the sort who used his daughter to entrap a Prince of Hell. I'd known demons more human than Adam Harper.

I had a long list of things that were best not to dwell on. Losing control, failing Dawn, eyeing up Mammon for violent and bloody demon sex, breaking Akil's nose, and how I wanted to rip Adam's spine from his flesh and beat him with it.

I'd never really done Christmas. The years I'd spent with Akil didn't count. The only religion he got behind was the worship of his own ego.

Oh to let go of it all ... The pain, the anguish, the shame and disgust ... Just let it all go. Embrace chaos.

How do you stop yourself from loving someone even when you know they're incapable of loving you back?

Tears are useless things; tiny droplets of salt infused water, insignificant and pitiful.

Here's to life in-the-black. May we wish it on our enemies. - Caleb

You have a job?"
"Do you think I just fucking run this ship so I can call myself captain and get laid?"
"Well, no. I thought you were a criminal.

Fighting demons is what I do; real, and those in my head.

I'm human, you're not. What are you?" "Royally fucked." The door closed with an abrupt click.

Cross my heart, and hope to die. Bake a demon in a pie.

They believed him out of control. What they didn't know - what nobody but me knew - was that he'd never been more in control. He knew exactly what he was doing. He was free.

Muse is not to be so easily dismissed. She is quite capable of turning your insides to ash before you can draw breath to apologize.

If he kept that up, I was going to ugly-cry all over his expensive coat.

I have not lived for millennia to be bested by a half-blood whore and her puppet prince." ~ Valenti

You were a crushed and broken thing, like a butterfly crumpled in the hand of a child.

When demons call you the Mother of Destruction, sh*t gets real. Muse.

There was only so much damage control I could do, and no amount of bull crap about escaped animals from the zoo was going to mask my very public display of power.

Fire is ever the optimist.

You are not yet grown. But you, little half-blood, will be magnificent.

One day you will have vengeance, little half-blood. You will stand upon a wasteland littered with your dead kin and you will be free.

We are enemies. Opposites. An immovable object and an unstoppable force.

What do you do when you're swimming with sharks? You make sure you're the biggest, most badass thing in the pool.

If she was anything like you, she'd have rained hell down on them all.

My sparkling personality? Razor-sharp wit? The great hair? Chicks dig the hair.

I'm just a wretched half-blood girl caught in a storm."
Akil tasted his wine and smiled. "Muse, you are the storm.

Speaking Akil's name around Stefan felt like throwing gasoline on a bushfire." ~ Muse

I curled my lip at the sight of sizzling human hair and skin clinging to my demon flesh. Damn, I'd have given anything to be back in Boston, sipping chai tea latte." ~ Muse, Ties That Bind, #5 The Veil Series.

I shook my head. Akil was right about one thing. Stefan would never understand. He spent his life killing demons. He had it simple. I'd spent my life among them. I might despise the majority of them, but I knew them. They were family. Twisted, bitter, dangerous, slippery, back-stabbing, but family all the same.

Bent down and plucked the fae's sword free of the fleshy mess that had once been his hand. Mental note: Don't mess with the spiders.

We are not so different, and yet we are worlds apart. Ahkeel/Akil, The Veil Series prequel.

I should have known he'd be trouble as soon as he walked into my workshop, but I couldn't have known he'd be the death of me.

All because I wanted a hug. Jeez, what kind of attention-starved female am I?

Imagine the ability to let go of everything. To step back from the expectations of life, let it all slip through your fingers as though none of it mattered. Your doubts, your fears, your weaknesses, all of them falling like grains of sand into the wind. It feels like freedom, but it's an illusion.

Right. And I'm Mary Poppins. Wait while I get my umbrella, so I can beat you to death with it for never giving me a straight answer to anything. Cut the crap. Give it to me straight.

But if you cross me again Akil, so-help-me, I'll find a way to kill you this time."
His eyes lit up at the prospect, as though he'd accepted a challenge I didn't even know I'd laid down. "I'd expect nothing less."
Demons; only they can get a cheap thrill from a death threat.

We are their gods, their angels, their devils, and their dreams. We could rule them.

Ideas take root at the oddest moments. Some grow into novels, the weaker ones wither and die.

I considered how the princes were masters of manipulation and wondered if Ahkeel knew exactly how this would end and if I'd survive his game.

People are dying out there, and I'm not faring much better."

"Worrying about the demise of anonymous people won't bring them back."

Pursing my lips, I planted a hand on a hip. "How very demon of you."

"Thank you."

"That wasn't a compliment."

~ Muse & Akil

You have more control than I've given you credit for. I underestimated you, Muse. Yah think?

You realize, half-bloods are impossible. A human body shouldn't be able to contain an elemental demon. It's physically and mentally impossible. Something about how you and your demon are tied together goes beyond scientific explanation. You shouldn't exist. It's a wonder you're not a jabbering lunatic.

Besides, what is human consciousness if not a data stream? A means for human beings to harvest information and interpret the world around them?

This where you bring all your girls before you bury them in the woods?

I dragged my beaten body onto my feet, spat blood into the mangled dirt, and lifted my head to Mammon. "Do not let my human half beguile you." I echoed his words, almost to the letter.

Except when Kellan and Lucas sleep with Sydney, a woman Kellan has flirted with for weeks, things quickly spiral out of control. Because

Next time I'm taking down hellhounds for you, I'll remember to tone down the pretty.

You'd best teach me how to raise hell because we're going to need it.

I pity any man, demon or otherwise, foolish enough to believe he owns you.

If there are princes involved, you should stay out of their way." Jerry's smile softened his hard-as-nails persona. "I wish I could." I smiled my own half-hearted smile. "Maybe they should stay outta my way?" He chuckled, the sound of his laughter soft and delicious. "Maybe.

If you hurt Muse, I will hunt you down, use every rusted weapon I own, cut off your precious parts and feed them to the hellhounds. Ryder

Sometimes, when you sleep with the enemy, waking up is the hardest part." ~ Muse

I don't know if I can."

I splayed my hand on the bulkhead beside Fran's shoulder and looked her in those pretty green eyes. "It's easier if you don't think about it. Shut it away, think about something else. Drink, fuck, do what you gotta do. Bury it so damn deep, it can't touch you. And before long, you'll forget what you were worried about."

Her lips turned down at the corners. She closed her eyes and sighed. "Is that what you do?"

"It works." Or it had. Until recently. Until One somehow made me look at myself though her eyes. Now I had shit going on in my head, like not wanting to let her down. Not wanting to let any of them down. Like this life and my place in it might actually mean something. That kinda thinking would get a man killed.

~ Caleb

I was the proverbial child raised by wolves, only my wolves were demons. Wolves would have been kinder.

You're the half-sister of the full-blood demon, Valenti. The illegitimate child of Asmodeus - one of the Seven Princes of Hell. You were sold at birth as a plaything for lesser demons."
"A half-blood abomination," he snarled. "An embarrassment to demons everywhere. By all rights, you should be dead.

You are capable of great things, he said with conviction. If by great things, he meant complete destruction, then yes, it would seem so.

What were you keeping me for, if not to use against your enemies?" His gaze softened. "Once, yes. Now I find myself in the alarming situation of fearing I may lose you again and caring.

Typical Institute. Turn up in time to take the credit.

No demon could ever care enough to let go." ~ Muse
