You’ve got a lot of responsibility now, Jace said to Julian. You’ll have to make sure Emma winds up with a guy who deserves her. Julian was strangely white-faced. Maybe he was feeling the effects of t...
Whither thou goest, I will go;Where thou diest, will I dieAnd there will I be buried:The Angel do so to me, and more also,If aught but death part thee and me.
I have not stopped loving her, nor my parabatai; love does not stop when someone dies.
Will closed his eyes. He could not hear Jem go, not anymore; he did not want to know the moment when he left and Will was alone, did now want to know when his first day as a Shawdowhunter without a pa...
We could— he started, then stopped, swallowed, and started again. We could become parabatai. He said it shyly, half-turning his face away from her, so that the shadows partially hid his expression. Th...
I love you so much, so incredibly much, he went on, and I forget when you're close to me, I forget who you are. I forget that you're Jem's. I'd have to be the worst sort of person to think what I'm th...
You don't have to do this for me, Emma was saying, softly but earnestly, in a voice Cristina had never heard her use before. I think I do, said Julian. I think I remember making a vow to that effect.'...
She soared above the ground, and he kept her tethered to the earth. Without him she would be lost among the clouds.
I thought you needed me, Jem said. There is a wall you have built about yourself, Will, and I have never asked you why. But no one should shoulder every burden alone. I thought you would let me inside...
Emma’s gaze went from Alec to Jace, curious. Do you worry about him? she asked Alec, surprising a laugh out of him. All the time, he said. Jace could get himself killed putting his pants on in the mor...
You swore to stay with me, he said. When we made our oath, as parabatai. Our souls are knit. We are one person, James.We are two people, said Jem. Two people with a covenant between us.Will knew he so...
Wherever we are, we are as one
A Mark that spoke of loss was still a Mark, a remembrance. You could not lose something you never had.
And you won’t leave me?No. Alec said. No, we won’t ever leave you. You know that.Never. Isabelle took his hand, the one Alec wasn’t holding, and pressed it fiercely. Lightwoods, all together. She whis...
And yet here he was, looking at Jem Carstairs, a boy so fragile-looking that he appeared to be made out of glass, with the hardness of his expression slowly dissolving into tentative uncertainty. You...
Magnus rolled onto his back and put his feet up on the arm of the sofa. What do you care if Alec’s miserable? What do I care? Jace said, so loudly that Chairman Meow rolled off the couch and landed on...
I should have known what you would do, Jem said in a low voice. I always know what you will do. I should have known you would put your hands into the fire.And I should have known you would throw that...
Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee - for whither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where...
I know about parabatai, said Magnus, an angry, dark undercurrent to his voice. I’ve known parabatai so close they were almost the same person; do you know what happens, when one of them dies, to the o...
