❛ We are three distrustful acquaintances who happen to share a bloodline. ❜ ❛ You don’t suppose they’ve found a way to kill him once and for all, do you? ❜ ❛ I’ll either stop them, or I’ll help them. Depending on my mood. ❜ ❛ I cannot be killed. I am immortal. . ❜ ❛ I will always protect you. You have my word on that. ❜ ❛ What do you care about the witches? ❜ ❛ You would dare threaten an original? ❜ ❛ I was expecting to see some sort of supernatural miracle baby bump. ❜ ❛ You hardly know him… and yet you miss him. ❜ ❛ What is it about my brother that always inspires such instant admiration? ❜ ❛ I cannot believe you disposed of those vampires without me. ❜ ❛ Was I supposed to leave them in them in the front yard to rot? ❜ ❛ It’s called compulsion. It’s a neat bit of vampire trickery. ❜ ❛ The world is an awful place. Best to meet it on its own terms. ❜ ❛ They want to be good. Something makes them bad. ❜ ❛ You get a daylight ring when you get invited into the inner circle? ❜ ❛ You do not want to end up on the wrong side of me. ❜ ❛ The kind of damage a werewolf might do, only there was no full moon. ❜ ❛ So, enlighten me. What did you mean when you said you had to die? ❜ ❛ You’ll keep your promise about my mother’s spell book? ❜ ❛ Those Orphan Annie vampires are my family, and this city is my home. ❜ ❛ So this is what you do the first time we’re back together as a family? Vampire Book Club? ❜ ❛ I’d deal with the devil himself just to see you suffer. ❜ ❛ I’m a gay club kid who died and came back as a vampire. ❜ ❛ Forgive me. Thought you were in danger. It appears I was mistaken. ❜ ❛ A coven of psycho witches want to sacrifice me in a blood ritual. ❜ ❛ What makes you think I’m afraid to die? ❜ ❛ So you’re having weird, retro sex dreams. Get over it. I’m staying. ❜ ❛ It is ironic discussing free will with a mind-controlling vampire. ❜ ❛ Is there anyone who isn’t plotting your downfall? ❜ ❛ I have conspired against my own blood and I doubt even your God could save me. ❜ ❛ You compelled her to go out with me, didn’t you? ❜ ❛ Do you have any idea how rare love is? In a thousand years I have found it but twice. ❜ ❛ Kill the demon today, face the devil tomorrow. ❜ ❛ Young, old, dead or alive, witches are a pain in the ass. ❜ ❛ Is this what it’s come to, making moves against your own blood? ❜ ❛ I’m going to find the witch who did this and then I’m going to do what I do best. ❜ ❛ If there’s a war going on, I want to be on the winning side. ❜ ❛ You’ve poisoned me with a kiss?!? At least you haven’t lost your sense of irony. ❜ ❛ Are we skipping the part where you beg for mercy? For forgiveness? ❜ ❛ Hey, am I taking orders from you now or are we in this together? ❜ ❛ One little spell then we can finally be together for real, what are you waiting for? ❜ ❛ They took my home, my people, everything. I can’t just run away. ❜ ❛ You know, you’ve come a long way, little wolf. ❜ ❛ I woke up in the church and all I felt was this hunger. ❜ ❛ A warrior fights for what they believe in. A warrior fights for his family. ❜ ❛ I kept you from becoming a beast for as long as I possibly could. ❜ ❛ As a devout feminist, I refuse to say that you hit like a girl. ❜ ❛ Am I crazy, or did he just do his version of a nice thing? ❜ ❛ I am your only family. And there is no greater strength than family. ❜ ❛ Don’t be stupid. I’m offering you eternal life. ❜ ❛ We will sleep for a century and wake with a power unlike any that’s ever been seen. ❜ ❛ Being Alpha’s an honor, you know. It’s one you have to earn every day. ❜ ❛ We are a macabre echo of a family, and I take all the blame for that. ❜ ❛ You just wouldn’t be you if you didn’t have a knife, would you? ❜ ❛ And does this monster have complicated feelings for you? ❜ ❛ Okay, fair enough, pick a fight, call me out! ❜ ❛ What do you feel like you owe these people? ❜ ❛ Do you mind? I’m trying to reverse a very complicated sacrifice spell. ❜ ❛ I leave you with the burden of a truth that no one will believe. ❜ ❛ Tell me, darling, how did they respond to your overtures? ❜ ❛ If you truly thought me weak, you would snatch this weapon from my hand. ❜ ❛ I wanted to rip my own heart out every time I woke so I couldn’t feel. ❜ ❛ We came here to honor the alliance between us. ❜ ❛ You know why I’m sitting here day drinking in the corner all by lonesome? ❜ ❛ I’m pretty much done and through with the vamps, wolves, and witches of this town. ❜ ❛ It’s not safe being out this late. You never know who you’ll run into. ❜ ❛ I’ll explain everything. Just say you believe me. ❜ ❛ It’s been a thousand years. How is this possible? ❜ ❛ I know that we’re in a cemetery and I happen to be terminal…. ❜ ❛ Spread the word and do arrive early enough to clean yourself up. ❜ ❛ You have disgraced this family for the last time. ❜ ❛ You talk about family; family this, family that. ❜ ❛ I haven’t earned the right to share your secrets, have I? ❜ ❛ You’re my blood. And I need you… I need you by my side. ❜ ❛ Oh, you’re angry, are you? ❜ ❛ I’ve been here a thousand years! I was building that dagger to protect myself against you! ❜ ❛ I got a family who didn’t care if I lived or if I died. ❜ ❛ This house, though charming, is completely falling apart. ❜ ❛ I know this wedding can work. We can bring our little girl home. ❜ ❛ You absolutely will not believe the week I’ve had. ❜ ❛ Fine. Go. You’ll be back. The prodigal son always returns home. ❜ ❛ Family are not just people who coddle you, who grant you your every whim. ❜ ❛ I will step in front of a moving truck before I let your mother take over my body. ❜ ❛ Not the first time that’s been done by a member of this family. ❜ ❛ I woke up with puncture wounds all up and down my spine! ❜ ❛ If what you say is true, then death is far too delicate a fate for her. ❜ ❛ Heh, you think I’m gonna break her little heart? ❜ ❛ I have a unique ability. Because I’m a hybrid. ❜ ❛ Except that every werewolf in town is trying to kill me. ❜ ❛ We need to get out of here… Are you gonna help me, or what? ❜ ❛ Your pack? Last I checked, your pack was blindly following me. ❜ ❛ First, I’m going to kick your ass. Then, I’m going to take my pack back. ❜ ❛ We’re so going to hell for this. ❜ ❛ Remind me to teach you how to send a text message. ❜ ❛ A thousand years estranged, and you choose to walk in silence? ❜ ❛ Kind of hard to rest with a thousand-year-old psycho in the next bed. ❜ ❛ You waited for me, so I’ll do the same for you. But, our people need their alpha. ❜ ❛ Is this rash a side effect of the witchy acid trip he’s on? ❜ ❛ You declared war when you came after my family. ❜ ❛ You’re outnumbered. Are you going to beg for your miserable life? ❜
