-Elias Grayson:
I could feel every fiber of my being screaming in protest the second Aurelian said those words. Congratulations, you're owned by Aurelian Salvatore. I hated him.
Hated the arrogance, the sassy tone, the way that smirk of his made my blood boil and my stomach twist at the same time. I wanted—no, needed—to punch him, to shove him into the wall, to make him understand that no one, not even a witch with centuries of power, could just come into my house and own my husband or me.
