If it is order that you value, then I will bring you nothing but chaos.

For those who love them villainous.

So no one could make him choose between his magic and his ability to sire children. What a loving relationship heβd fostered with that gift, turning his only daughter into a weapon designed to do the one thing he couldnβtβ¦ Find his sisterβs bones.

β
What happens when Iβm tired of fighting?β I asked, trying to ignore the pool of tears threatening to fall. Hoping the water from the shower would wash them away before he could notice. His face softened, his lips touching mine in a kiss that was so much more delicate than any other. βThen you let me do it for you.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
One thing was clear. I wanted to fuck Willow Madizza. Sheβd just have to be awake when I did it.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Iβd been born a legacy. I would die one as well.

Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Not everyone is fit to be a parent, and a lot of the ability to be a good mother comes from the desire to be.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Iβve known exactly what you are for quite some time, Witchling.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
I love you, Witchling. For everything you are and for everything you are not.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
I am merely a gift from your husband so that you can survive what comes next.

I was at Hollowβs Grove. My father couldnβt touch me. Couldnβt punish me when I disobeyed him on the weekends he brought me to his cabin.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
I hate you,β I muttered, pulling his hair harder. He chuckled, pressing his mouth to mine gently as I tossed my head back. βI donβt give a fuck about that. All that matters to me is how pretty youβll look writhing on my cock.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
I was no stranger to going into terrifying situations alone; in fact, it was where I found comfort. I could rely on myself, always. It was everyone else who constantly disappointed me. Every moment of every day, I stood alone when things got tough.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
If I catch you, then youβll give me the fight Iβve come to crave from you. If I catch you, we will go to war in the way our souls already knowβuntil my body recognizes every inch of your skin by touch. When I catch you, I will fuck you, and we both know youβll love every goddamn minute of it,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
You fight. Every moment of every day, you fight. Because that is who you are,β he whispered, dropping his forehead to mine. βWhat happens when Iβm tired of fighting?β I asked, trying to ignore the pool of tears threatening to fall. Hoping the water from the shower would wash them away before he could notice. His face softened, his lips touching mine in a kiss that was so much more delicate than any other. βThen you let me do it for you.

It's there to serve as a reminder," Gray said, his words both sympathy and accusation all at once. "That no matter how pretty the shell may be, we are all capable of great and terrible things."
"That sounds like it came from a fortune cookie," I said, turning my stare back at him.

Most of the witches of the Coven drew their power from nature. The Greens, like my mother, from the earth; the Whites from crystals; the Yellows from fire. But the Blacks had been different.

The fear of ignorant men is a powerful thing.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
A young girl who was terrified of the fact that she was facing the world alone. She didnβt think anyone would see it if she could only pretend to be unaffected, focusing on the shallow friendships sheβd formed without ever allowing those who could care about her to sink themselves deeper within her soul.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
One day, you will owe me a favor for this. You will give me anything I ask of you,β he said softly.

Desire did not equal love.

Wicked little witch,

β
Hecateβs maze marred my skin; the mark of my necromancer wife burned into my flesh like a brand. Willow swallowed, staring up at me as she floundered for words. βYouβre mine now, Willow Morningstar.

β
earth in her heart but fire in her blood.

Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
I belonged to the woodsβto the gardens and anywhere but here.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Touch her again, and I will tear your skull from your spine, Susannah,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Iβll always come for you, Witchling,β he said, holding my stare for a moment.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Where others might have wanted to control the fire in her veins, I only wanted to watch her learn how to embrace what it was to burn.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Willow needed to know that I was her only home. That her future started and ended with me. I would tolerate nothing less than an eternity with her by my side,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
No one else would have mattered to me at all; simply a means to an end to achieve what I wanted. Only Willow didnβt just matter. She was fucking everything.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Open your fucking mouth, Witchling. It isn't my blood you're going to drink this time,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
You know, it's okay to not be okay.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
You do not need to carry the weight of the world every time someone fucks you over. Sometimes, people just do shitty things.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Loving Willow and accepting that I wanted her to love me back would mean putting myself at risk of rejection all over again.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Grab the headboard and hold on tight, my love," he ordered, wrapping an arm around each of my thighs.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Unless you intend to gag me, youβre unlikely to be able to shut me up.β βYou would definitely be gagging, Witchling,β he growled, and the bolt that shot through me was one of shock.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Blood is power,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Willow might have fought our connection with everything she had when she was strong, but in her moments of vulnerability, she revealed exactly who she was beneath all the bravado. A young girl who was terrified of the fact that she was facing the world alone.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Then call me your queen of disappointment and I'll add that to the list of things I don't give a fuck about.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Somehow it felt like the perfect karma to me that the town was known for the people it had tried to rid itself of, the persecutors fading into history.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Seat belt boobs were hardly attractive.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
I wonβt let anything happen to you. Do you trust me?β βAbsolutely fucking not,β I said, my brow pinching when he laughed. βGood girl,β he said, tipping his head to the side.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
I love every side of you, Witchling. Even the parts that make you human.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
The next time we see each other, it will be you on your knees.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Youβre in love with me, Willow Hecate. Say it.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Sheβs life, but sheβs also death.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
You really are so fucking beautiful, even when you lie through your teeth.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Nothing here has any value without you. You're my home,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Even if my plan was to try to keep the violence to a minimum, I wasnβt known for my lack of impulsivity.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
I lay in the bed of the man who was meant to be my enemy,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
For her, I'd spend my life on my knees if she asked it of me.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
If my cock is my only redeeming quality,β I said, shoving her hair out of my way to wrap my fingers around the back of her neck. I used that grip to press her toward the ground, letting her turn her head in order to see her profile. I pinned her, holding her perfectly still as I shifted my hips and drew back. βThen I expect you to spend most of your time sitting on it, wife.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
From this moment until I release you, the only way you will be able to orgasm will be with me. My touch. My mouth. My cock. Your own touch will not satisfy you, nor will the touch of any other person. There is only me.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
The pain helped. It always brought me back to the present.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Do you, though? What you know is what is documented on paper, not what exists within her.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Do what you want with the rest of your witches, but the next time you touch her, I will rain Hell upon you.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
I wanted to tear his throat out. I wanted to tear his clothes off. The fact that I wasnβt even sure which one I wanted more terrified me.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Only a fool would dare to underestimate you, my love,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
I very much look forward to reminding you how much I hate you when I bury my cock between your thighs.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
He was beautiful and infuriatingβa disaster waiting to happen.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
I would not let my sex life determine my value.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Do you think any others will make you feel like this?β he asked,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
Beg.β βWhat?β I asked, my mouth going dry. He couldnβt be fucking serious. βBeg me to make you come. If you expect me to get on my knees for you, then youβd better be ready to ask me for it, Witchling,
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
You think I would allow anyone but me to touch you?
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
When have I ever hurt you? We both know Iβm far more likely to bend you over this desk and fuck you until you cannot breathe.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
I held her carefully, cautiously. I didnβt want to hurt her, even if the idea of seeing her skin covered in bites and bruises from more pleasurable endeavors did fill me with an odd warmth.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones, #1))
β
you cannot kill that which is already dead,

I knew we had the potential to destroy one another--to burn until there was nothing left except ash.

Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Children are a gift, and I would never force you to have them if you didn't want them. Not everyone is fit to be a parent, and a lot of the ability to be a good mother comes from the desire to be.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Iβd expected her to be lost to her anger, to fight back with panic and fury. Instead, sheβd met me with calm, lethal cunning. Sheβd behaved as a Queen, when Iβd still been expecting a girl.

You fight. Every moment of every day, you fight. Because that is who you are,

β
I hate that you made me love you,β I said, the desperate words coming out as the barest of whispers.

β
Harper L. Woods (The Cursed (Coven of Bones, #2))
β
Iβd grown knowing that one day, I would either have to kill my father or allow him to kill me.
β
β
Harper L. Woods (The Coven (Coven of Bones #1))
β
I know they donβt taste as good as witchlings,β he said, bringing my hand to his face. He bent it back, exposing my wrist as he placed it beneath his nose and inhaled my scent.

Why donβt you come outside and lie to me again, love?
