“I loved her. Despite everything. Despite the lies, the betrayal, the hurt. Despite the Archbishop and Morgane le Blanc. Despite my own brothers. I don't know if she returned that love, and I didn't care. If she was destined to burn in Hell, I would burn with her.”

Shelby Mahurin,
Serpent & Dove
“I was no one's sacrifice. Not then. Not now. Not ever.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“There are some things that can't be changed with words. Some things have to be seen. They have to be felt.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“Why the fuck is everyone in this kingdom trying to murder my wife?” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from you.’” He trailed his fingers down my arm in slow, torturous strokes. My head fell back on his shoulder, my eyes fluttering closed, as his lips continued to move against my neck. “‘Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“Love makes fools of us all, darling.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“Our lives reflect our hearts.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“Death couldn't take him away from me. He was me. Our souls were bound.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“Maybe men can learn a thing or two from women.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“Where you go, I will go. Where you stay, I will stay.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“Such a love was not something of just the heart and mind. It wasn't something to be felt and eventually forgotten, to be touched without it in return touching you. No . . . this love was something else. Something irrevocable. It was something of the soul.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“You're to be my wife." Catching up to her in two strides, I reached out to grab her arm, but stopped short of touching her. "That means you'll obey me.""Does it?" She raised her brows, still grinning. " I suppose that means you'll honor and protect me, then? If we're adhering to the dusty old roles of your patriarchy?"I shortened my pace to match hers. "Yes."She clapped her hands together. "Excellent. At least this will be entertaining. I have many enemies.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“I-I've never seen anyone savor anything the way you do everything. You make me feel alive. Just being in your presence - it's addictive. You're addictive. It doesn't matter you're a witch. The way you see the world . . . I want to see it that way too. I want to be with you always, Lou. I never want to be parted from you again.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“I leaned back, studying her as she finished my bun. A bit of icing covered her lip. Her nose was still red from the cold, her hair wild and windblown. My little heathen.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“What you are now is not what you’ve always been, nor is it what you always will be. You are a snake. Shed your skin if it no longer serves you. Transform into something different. Something better.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Blood & Honey
“I like you, Ansel, but this had better be something good. Emilie and Alexandre just had a moment, and I swear if they don't kiss soon, I will literally die.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“Wicked are the ways of women—and especially a witch. Their guile knows no bounds.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“I never said it was your god. Your god hates women. We were an afterthought.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Serpent & Dove
“when a person brings you more hurt than happiness, you’re allowed to let them go.” ― Shelby Mahurin, Blood & Honey
