Fear Quote by Sherrilyn Kenyon
““Strange how he felt no fear, what with his assured damnation looming. And he should. You’d think what given the sins of his past and all the things he’d done in this life, they’d be haunting him now. Yet all Paden felt was an untoward kind of peace with it all. This was the way of it. He’d known this day would come for him—sooner, rather than later—the heartbeat he’d accepted his destiny by taking up his mother’s sword and embracing the blood that flowed within him.””
