NOTE: This is the special edition print of Rise of a Queen. To find the ebook and audiobook, please look for the main edition. Nothing is fair in love. This is my kingdom. My territory. I own everything and control everyone, Aurora included. She shouldn't have barged into my world with no armour. She shouldn't have caught my attention with no warning. Alas, she did. Then she thought she could disappear. If a battle is what it'll take to protect and own her, I'll shed blood. Wars aren't fair, and neither am I. Rise of a Queen is the second part of a duet and is not standalone.

Rise of a Queen

Renata

well rr this for the 2nd time and imma say again, i was so obsessed with jonathanaurora and imma say again, i would let jonathan king do anything to me 

- "I…am...s-sorry..""S-so s-sorry... Don't…h-hurt me... Don't…"
"No one will hurt you anymore, Aurora. Not on my fucking watch."

- "Aurora is mine, and I'll bring chaos to the world to protect what's fucking mine."

- "What if I disappear?"
"Then I'll burn the world that forced you to disappear and resurrect you from its ashes." (...) "It's also about how I'll protect you from the world and yourself if I have to. It's about burning your obstacles so you can leave the shadows and shine like you were always meant to."

- "No. I don't mix business with pleasure."
"But you did with me."
"True, though I never considered you business."

- "It's so beautiful,"
"Indeed." My attention snaps back to Jonathan, and just like the other time in the park, he's not watching the view, he's watching me.
"Right," "You've probably seen this scenery like a thousand times."
"It feels like a first with you."

- "I never thought anyone would ever tell me that."
"I will every day if I have to until you believe it."

- "The world is at the tip of your fingers."
"It is not."
"It is now. I'll bring the world to its knees in front of you. All you have to do is ask."
"Why?" 
"Why what?"
"Why would you do that for me?"
"Because the world needs to bend the knee for my queen."

- "You don't have to protect me. Just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't protect myself."
"I'm not protecting you because you're a woman. I'm protecting you because you're my woman."

- "Being with Jonathan is like free-falling without a landing. It's finding oneself after years of being lost.
It's peace after a war. And it's all because of him. He called me his queen once, but what he doesn't know is that there's no king to my kingdom but him. It might be a small kingdom compared to his empire, but mine is more intimate, and he's the only person I would ever allow inside my bubble. He's the only person who's made me feel safe, even though the world is scared of him. My calculative tyrant and skilled lover."

- "Aurora barged into my life, wreaked havoc in my order, and disrupted my chessboard. At first, the moves she made were insignificant, but they kept escalating with time. By the time I noticed the changes, it was already too late to kick her out. Not that I would. If anything, I'm keeping her. All of her."

- "Yet she's the only woman who's fit to be the queen of my empire. With Aurora, it's...belonging. Yes, I believe that's the right word. She's the first person who's spoken to my soul without words. Which is weird as fuck since I always thought I lacked that a soul, that is. At first, I didn't understand how she brought out that part of me, but the more time I spend with her, the more certain I am that she's slowly but surely becoming an indispensable part of my life. The thought of living on without her punches a hole in my previously impenetrable chest."

- "When I grow up, can I marry him, too?"My sister ruffles my hair and whispers back, "If I'm not here, you have my permission."

- "And I'm glad I kept you, wild one. You flipped my world upside down and I enjoy every second of it. I don't only love you, I'm obsessed with everything about you, and I'll spend the rest of my life proving how much your presence means to me."

- "We're on Jonathan's private island for our wedding. The island he named Aurora right after he told me I was staying with him and that was final."

- "You're officially mine now, Mrs King."
"And you're mine, Mr King."
