Queen of Shadows

“They tried to shoot my … Rowan through the heart.

And at long last, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius was home.

And the smell—of pine and snow … How had she never realized that Rowan’s scent was of Terrasen, of home?

She would have preferred a little more privacy, especially with Rowan, who kept looking at her in that way that made her want to combust. Sometimes when no one was watching, he’d sneak up behind her and nuzzle her neck or tug at her earlobe with his teeth, or just slide his arms around her and hold her against him, breathing her in.

We’ll face it together. To whatever end.

To Terrasen. To fight, not run.

To Aelin and Ren and Aedion

You light up the darkness.”

Until she was able to keep up with him, he’d added with a wicked grin.

Rowan didn’t so much as glance Aedion’s way before a wind snapped through the suite, slamming the bedroom door in Aedion’s face.

Point taken.
