— BLOOD HEIR by ILONA ANDREWS

“You’ve changed,” Luther continued. “There are layers and layers of power wrapped around your core, but that core remains the same. I remember it from years ago when I first met you. You are still you.”

He had no idea what those words meant to me.

“Did I say something wrong?” he asked gently.

“I have lived through so many versions of me. I don’t even know who I am anymore.”

↳ “How do you want to go about this?” Robert asked me quietly.

“I can give it a shot,” Ascanio offered.

“Sit your ass down, Don Juanabe,” Derek said.

“Don Juanabe?” Ascanio pulled out his swords.

“Don Juan Wannabe,” Derek explained. “See, I shortened it. If you still don’t get it, I’ll write it down for you after the fight.”

“You’ve maxed out your wit quota for the night,” Ascanio said.

“I’m just getting started.”

“Be careful, you might sprain something in your brain.”

“Quiet,” I growled.

I wasn't alone. The realization filtered in through my drowsiness, triggering an internal alarm. I reached for magic and found nothing. The tech was up. Nobody should have been here. I had locked both doors behind me. I was absolutely sure. [...] Across from me, past the other side of the bath, Derek sat on the floor. [...] The old me had been erased forever. Derek would never recognize me. He would never know why my heart was trying to jump out of my chest. My heart. Right. I had to find calm. If he focused, he could hear my heartbeat. We'd been looking at each other in silence for five minutes. One of us had to say something. "It's you," I said. Brilliant opening. "It's me," he said.

“One time I was dying in a cage inside a palace that was flying over a magic jungle. And some idiot went in there, chased the palace down, fought his way through hundreds of rakshasas, and rescued me.” “I remember,” he said. “That’s when I realized you loved me,” I said. “I was in the cage and I heard you roar.”

You don't even know how much I love that Curran bought all the houses on their side of the street. And Derek moved in on one side of them and Barabas and Christopher on the other side. I love my little suburban shapshifter community
