Savage Bonds (The Bonds that Tie, #2)

“My gifts are more of a curse than anything else.”

Oli really struggles with the physical toll of her powers. It feels like she is drowning in her own skin while trying to protect everyone else.

“I want to break every bone in your body and then kiss the pain away.”

Gabe losing his cool during the training sessions shows how much he hates the distance between them. His anger is just a messy shield for his fear.

“I’ve been waiting for you my entire life, Oli.”

Atlas is the only one who truly gets the weight of her silence. He waits for her instead of demanding she catch up.

“You’re a Draven now. We take care of our own.”

North is still so rigid and cold. It makes it even harder to see him slowly start to crumble when she gets hurt.
