“I was going to have to come up with a rank for myself besides Alpha's mate. In the pack, I was just Mercy- but if ten more people called me the Alpha's mate, I was going to hit someone. It sounded like a chess move.”

“You’re a dead man,” Kyle said. “Warren doesn’t take kindly to people who hurt me.”

“No, really," I said. "Now that we know that Flores is really this nasty, fiery, superpowerful nothing-can-kill-me demon from hell, maybe we should consider just giving Christy to him?”

“The movie or the TV series?”
“The movie? Right. I had forgotten about the movie,” he said soberly. “It was better that way.”

“Death isn't a tragedy to God, only to those left behind.”

“Zack shook his head. "I am glad you aren't mine. You're going to be dead before you're forty."
