The first one I found on my computer is from Alpha Night. One of the teasers we were given prior to publication: "Show me your jagged edges and your fractured pieces, your obsession and your need. Show me you."

Then there are the two I found in Last Guard when I was reading it:

"All her life she'd had to fight and fight. Every role, every position, she'd won it through a white-knuckled combat of a kind that left no physical bruises."
- Payal Rao.

"'Because our people like to forget things. Apparently, we believe ignoring and forgetting is as good as actually fixing problems.'" - Payal


From Wolf Rain, of course, there is the one about Alexi being a big wolfy chicken!! (I can't find the exact quote just yet though, so I'm not sure of the exact wording.)

Now to go hunt for more!

Okay, now I've got the words "big wolfy chicken" running on continous loop in my head! It's all your fault Ashwini. 😂

from Silver Silence:

“Are you asking me to kidnap your granddaughter?”“Let’s call it an enforced move out of the field of danger.”
~
Valentin tried to think like a cat again. Sneaky. After all, Lucas Hunter had a Psy mate. If a leopard could do it, a bear could do it better.
~

from Ocean Light:

“Who said anything about Edison and Armand?” Seraphina made a puzzled face. “We’re talking about Bedison and Laymond.”
~
“I don’t think anyone’s ever described me as smirky before,”
~
“Cooking is how you show care, affection, love,” he murmured as he took his seat. “I want to speak your language.”
~
” He held Bowen’s gaze. “We must both answer to our mates.” The faintest hint of a smile. “You are a braver man than I if you attempt to take them both on.”
~

from Ain't No Party Like a Bear Party

“Party is party.”
No more bear thing had ever been said.
~

from Wolf Rain

“You know they all live in a big puppy pit, right?” She shuddered. “Poking their noses into each other’s business like it’s a full-time job.”
~

from Alpha Night

“There’s no debt in friendship.”
~
I am the knight to your queen.
~

from Last Guard

He’d once put out a sign saying: I don’t want visitors.
It had been replaced by a sign that read: We’re not visitors. We’re bears.
~

from Rebel Hard

Welcome to the Nightmare of Awkwardness
~
“Girls like guys who read.”
~

from Archangel's Sun

“The rest of the Cadre are sending me the Hummingbird!” It came out a disbelieving shout.
~
This was going to be an unmitigated disaster.
~
A treasure of angelkind.
More like a jackhammer drilling into his brain.

I rarely post, so my apologies if this has already gone through five times. Can’t tell if it’s in a queue for approval or if it vanished into the ether. Sorry Ashwini!

“I’ll be cunning and stealthy in my vengeance, and I’ll find you when you believe yourself safe. Then I’ll cut off your head and put that head in a dark cavern where no one can hear you scream, and I’ll come back every so often to chop off any parts that have regenerated.” - Archangel’s Sun

From Archangel's Prophecy:

You must live, Elena-mine. I would rather die with you than walk into eternity without you by my side.

Raphael would give Elena anything on this earth, but he would not promise to be whole should she fall.

"I will undo the universe for you." Tear it to pieces, leave it as broken as his heart would be if he didn't have Elena.

"No power is worth you, Elena-mine. I would give up immortality for a single mortal lifetime with you."


From Archangel's War:

He'd given her a piece of his heart, but only so she could make it hers.

"No matter who or what I become, I will always be yours."


From Archangel's Sun:

Sharine had become his sun, the star around which he revolved.

"I've missed you [...] You've made a hole in my heart and it causes me pain when you aren't there to fill it."

From Love Hard
Jake, dear, are you checking your uncle's car? Can you come look at Great-auntie's in the next week? It's making a strange noise and it scares me. Meow-Trixi Pussy

Wow! Love all of everyone's quotes so much. Thank you for sharing.

Archangel's Light: "Our memories make us. Even the darkest of them all.
—Archangel Raphael "


A Madness of Sunshine: A single slip and she would've gone tumbling. Anahara did not want her headstone to read "Death by Stupidity."

A Madness of Sunshine: "I can work with San Diego." Her wings unfolded inside her as the rain hit her own face, and with the cold droplets came a surge of music, pure and rising in a crescendo. Her art had never been a creature of sunlight.

Quiet in Her Bones: and all I could think was that maybe it HAD been me. Maybe the reason I was spiraling into the abyss was because it had always been me. I was the monster I'd been chasing . . . the monster I needed to kill.

So sorry for breaking the rule.💧 "No more than one or two line long."
