Fangs Quote by Sarah J. Maas
““She rounded the next landing, and there they were. Kaltain had been shoved up against the wall, the neck of that too-flimsy gown tugged to the side, her breast nearly out. There was such emptiness on her face—as if she weren’t even there at all. Vernon stood a few paces away. Elide clutched her linens so hard she thought she’d shred them. Wished she had those iron nails, for once. “Lady Kaltain,” she said to the young woman, barely a few years older than she. She did not expect her own rage. Did not expect herself to go on to say, “I was sent to find you, Lady. This way, please.” “Who sent for her?” Vernon demanded. Elide met his gaze. And did not bow her head. Not an inch. “The Wing Leader.” “The Wing Leader isn’t authorized to meet with her.” “And you are?” Elide set herself between them, though it would do no good should her uncle decide to use force. Vernon smiled. “I was wondering when you’d show your fangs, Elide. Or should I say your iron teeth?””
