I’m more than twisted. I’m the worst kind of vampire… But you’re the one who’s craving me, so what does that make you?

You can only fight what you are for so long. Eventually the hand that nature has dealt you will make you become what you were meant to be. You have no control over it.

Playing the martyr doesn’t suit you, Leila.’‘Maybe not, but playing the complete and utter bastard clearly suits you.

I will not be threatened. Do you understand me?’ He leaned closer again, his lips less than a couple of inches from hers. ‘Now try saying it without trembling.

She exhaled curtly. ‘I’m a serryn. That’s all you see. I’m just something to be tortured, slain or sold off as a commodity. That’s hardly the most appealing of traits.’ ‘Tell your eyes that. Because you really shouldn’t look at me the way you do. No serryn has looked at me like that.

I’m not punishing you.’ ‘No?’ ‘No. You’d know if I was. Trust me.

The rarity of what you hold is more powerful than you can imagine. It is a gift for humanity and the most lethal curse to the vampires.

Strong isn't about not being afraid, Caitlin. It's about facing what you're scared of.

You need me, Kane. Maybe even more than I need you.

Last warning. I don't play nice.

I'm already inside your head. And your body's most definitely next.

There's only so much temptation a vampire can take.

You upped the ante with the wrong vampire, Caitlin.

What are you most scared of, Caitlin? What I can do to you, or how I make you feel?

You breathe too fast to be convincing,' he goaded.'You don't breathe enough to judge me.

We die, you die. You die, we survive. I think there’s a pecking order in that, don’t you?

I took that mint because I wanted to. I wanted to remember who I was. I wanted to remember my family. Most of all, I wanted to remember you. I wanted to remember what we are together, and how we got to that point. I wanted you to know I remember all of those precious moments. And if I don’t make it through this, I wanted to go knowing I love you. I wanted you to know I remember why I love you.
