That heavy perfume on first meetings to disorient people raised a flag 👀

In real life, I have this bad habit of telling myself not to judge people, then it turns out I should have absolutely listened to that judgement 🫠 First chapter that mentioned Fergus I knew he was an amalgamation of epic red flags, but decided to not comment because "we're not judging a character in a story we've barely started". Guess I can delete that inner doubt as pertains to fictional characters too 😅. Good grief, the man is a nightmare

I have a feeling Evelyn knew exactly what she was doing when she handed him that stack of files. And I dunno, but I felt like the scars on her husband were a hint that he may have been turned, which I'm sure is going to send a very interesting cascade of thoughts through Austin 🤭

Good grief, those cocoon sound incredibly creepy and very potentially dangerous. I'm stressed out for the guys 🫣

I'm glad they're walking into that ship together 🤞🏼.

Oh, I'm most certainly not judging you! I love the story & I also get the time dualation thingie, but it just seems that with these two, when they cut each other, those cuts are extra deep. They say a lot of hurtful things to each other that I'd personally put in my "there is no comming back from this" pile 🤭. I get that they live in a cruel world, I just suppose that I'd hoped that they'd be treating each other better by now 🤷🏽‍♀️. I'm any case, I'm obviously going to continue avidly reading ❤️

My heart really breaks for Ghor & I truly wish a lack of education would stop being pushed in his face, as if it were a choice he made. He was kidnapped, had his litter mates taken away and was sent to that god forsaken jail that he survived. The kid literally raised himself and stayed alive for two hundred years of hell. I love Aethan, but he really needs to get the hell off of his high horse. And yeah, Ghor is an animal with animal instincts that he doesn't fully understand or control because he wasn't raised by felids. Aethan is so horrified by his attraction that he's used cruelty, a few times now, to push Ghor away. Not particularly empathetic of the empath. The sadist title is a bit of a projection imo. Love them both, but also need them to do better 🤞🏼

The word sadist comes from Marquis de Sade. You should read about him

Not to be crass, but as a woman I understand Rebecca, and had I been in her shoes, I would've delivered the same man to the doctor...reality and that truth are just that, no matter how ugly they may be.

Hmm, that's funny because I do trust Dom. I trust him to do what's right for Skold, but not necessarily what Skold may deem appropriate at the time. Clandestine, we'll see. But since the universe wants the gentlemen together, who am I to argue 🤭. But I'm not gonna be shocked if Dom pisses Skold off at some point. It'd be amusing to read about Skold having to be apologetic for being wrong afterwards, lols. I'm sure he'd perish if he were to apologise to anyone

I've been wondering for two or three chapters now about the lover that Skold had. The one that caused his father to castrate him. I wonder what became of him, because I find it hard to beleive that Kane would mutilate his own son yet leave his lover unscathed...

It's funny, but I was certain he hadn't killed her somehow, because of his hesitation. Let's see how it goes

It's seems wierd to write, but with Skold, I understand why some writers in the past have used the term 'beautifully broken'. As humans, with our short lives, abuse almost always takes a permanent toll. Not that it hasn't for Skold, but his long life has given him the opportunity to overcome that brokeness, inasmuch as one can really. But back to reality, sleeping in the snow is a hard no 🤭

Hmm, so Skold's memories were taken from him because he raised an army of the dead, durring a time, it seems, that there was an abundance of corpses and a decided lack of living bodies to fight Paladin? I get death magic being forbidden, but surely exceptions should have been made when the stopped the Paladin Wars which were the cause of the black death that almost destroyed all life on the planet? I don't trust that that's the only reason why his memories were taken, in the same way that I don't trust the king. I don't think that the universe would send him such a slow burning blight had his actions not earned it for him. We shall see

Comming to the realisation that another consciousness has hitched a ride in your mind is absolutely mindbending. Omg
