Galen Quotes

“Keller couldn't form any words for a moment. Then she said, "Galen? When you choose a form, choose something gentle."

I thought you thought everybody had to be a fighter." He said.

Some people shouldnt have to be.”
― L.J. Smith, Witchlight

“What about me?" I whisper. "Where do I belong?"
"With me," my mother and Galen say in unison. They exchange hard glares. Galen locks his jaw.
"I'm her mother," she tells Galen, her voice sharp. "Her place is with me."
"I want her for my mate," Galen says. The admission warms up the space between us with an impossible heat and I want to melt into him. His words, his declaration, cannot be unspoken. And now he's declared it to everyone who matters. It's out there in the open, hanging in the air. He wants me for his mate. Me. Him. Forever.”
― Anna Banks, Of Triton

“Wait," I call to him. He stops. " I just wanted to say, I like your big fin. I think it's very sexy.”
― Anna Banks, Of Triton

“Emma, I will love you with every breath in my body and beyond my own death. I swear to be your shield, your protector, your worshipper. There is nothing I will deny you. I am yours”
― Anna Banks, Of Neptune

“As soon as she releases me, Galen grabs my hand and I don't even have time to gasp before he snatches me to the surface and pulls me toward shore, only pausing to dislodge his pair of swimming trunks from under his favorite rock, where he had just moments before taken the time to hide them.
I know the routine and turn away so he can change, but it seems like no time before he hauls me onto the beach and drags me to the sand dunes in front of my house. "What are you doing?" I ask. His legs are longer than mine so for every two of his strides I have to take three, which feels a lot like running.
He stops us in between the dunes. "I'm doing something that is none of anyone else's business." Then he jerks me up against him and crushes his mouth on mine. And I see why he didn't want an audience for this kiss. I wouldn't want an audience for this kiss, either, especially if the audience included my mother. This is our first kiss after he announced that he wanted me for his mate. This kiss holds promises of things to come.
When he pulls away I feel drunk and excited and nervous and filled with a craving that I'm not sure can ever be satisfied. And Galen looks startled. "Maybe I shouldn't have done that," he says. "That makes it about fifty times harder to leave, I think.”
― Anna Banks, Of Triton

“I want to help you," Oliver said.
"Why?" Galen looked up at him. "Because of Petunia?" Oliver was relieved that the prince didn't seem to be skeptical about his conviction. He simply looked like he wanted to know, and so did Heinrich, when Oliver dared to look at the other prince. Oliver was very aware that Heinrich had known his father. Had known him better than Oliver had, in fact.
"Because of her," Oliver said at last. "Even though I have only met her twice, really...I just..."
"I risked my life to save Rose after only speaking with her twice," Galen said with a small smile.”
― Jessica Day George, Princess of the Silver Woods

“Galen!" The crown princess flung herself into her husband's arms with a glad cry. The other princesses shrieked and threw themselves at their brother-in-law only a moment later.”
― Jessica Day George, Princess of the Silver Woods

“Er," Oliver said. "He talks even less than the one Lily married," the crone remarked to Walter. "Though when the mood strikes him, he asks just as many questions as Galem." "I'm sorry," Oliver said weakly. The old woman nodded. "You are forgiven," she pronounced in a queenly tones.”
― Jessica Day George, Princess of the Silver Woods

“Brother, if you feed the cats, they'll keep coming back. Please. I beg you. Stop.”
― Nely Cab, Creatura

“Forgive our gawking,” said a man with a vicious scar running down his face. “Galen is usually eating so much he has no time for speech.”

Laughter filled the hall, and Reaghan glanced over to find Galen shaking his head as he smiled.

“Eating?” she asked.

“Doona pay Malcolm a bit of attention,” Galen said, his gaze indifferent and his voice heavy with nonchalance. “He lies.”
― Donna Grant, Shadow Highlander

“Forceful little thing, aren’t you?”

“You have no idea. So we doing this or not?”

Those lush lips twitched. “Let me get this straight. We’re going to the bathroom, and I’m going to fuck you, and you don’t even care to know my name?”

“I’d actually prefer it if you’d keep your stupid mouth closed.” Oops. Her hatred was slipping out.

“Well, well. You might just be my soul mate.”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Passion

“Lily slumped, putting her shaking hands on his shoulders. "But you will, won't you?" Pansy's voice broke into a sob.
"Yes, Pan," Galen said quietly.
"I don't like that," Pansy said. Galen stood and put his arms around the fine-boned girl, while Rose continued to comfort Lily. Oliver looked away. It was such a private moment; he hated to intrude on it. Galen was beloved by all of the sisters, but the love between him and Rose was so clear and shining that it hurt to look at them, spending their last hours together caring for the other girls.”
― Jessica Day George, Princess of the Silver Woods

“Galen cupped her cheek with his uninjured hand, his thumb caressing the rise of satin-covered bone. She trembled, but didn’t pull away.”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Seduction

“Tell my father I was abducted by a lucius nymph and pulled to her lair." Styxx
"For the record, I resent being called a lucius nymph." Galen”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Styxx

“She pressed the blade’s tip into her palm and cut. Not as deeply as he had, but enough to ensure a successful exchange. Her blood welled, mingling with the droplets he’d left behind. He liked that, liked knowing some part of him was now inside her.

He reached out, clasped her hand against his, her wound against his. At the moment of contact, he felt a pop inside him, a tear on his soul, and though he’d never done anything like this before, he knew the vow had just made a place for itself inside him.”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Seduction

“Emma, we don't have to kiss. She already knows I want to sleep with you.”
― Anna Banks

“And I wanted to put my fist through your pretty, pampered face." Galen
"As I recall, you did. And then you kicked me in the ass and sent me sprawling, pampered face first, into a pile of horseshit." Styxx
"And you said not a word about it to anyone. You got up, took your training sword, and faced me as if you landed in a bed of poppies. All the while, shit dripping down you."Galen”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Styxx

“Galen punched his brother hard. "You bastard! You married and din't tell me?"
Bathymaas moved to blast him. Aricle stopped her. "I'ts alright my lady. That's his normal reaction."
"He needs to find another." Bathymaas
"How could you have not told me? I'm your brother! Your twin! When did you marry?" Galen
"While you were all gone." Aricles
"Have you any idea the shit storm you are about to unleash?" Caleb
"It's why I backed down from the fighting. I didn't want anyone hurt. Least of all Bathymaas." Aricles
Malphas growled. "Now I want to punch you. . . . But I understand." He rubbed his gold necklace that never left him. "The heart wants what it wants, and nothing will deny it. But damn . . ." He turned his glare to Bathymaas. "Damn."
"So what does this mean?" Monokles
"The gods will attack her for this. Openly. Those who hate her will say that she can no longer perform her duties because she's been corrupted by the thouch of a mortal. And they will be after Aricles with everything they have." Caleb
"I still don't trust him. He bowed out when we needed him the most." Phelix
"To protect his wife." Haides reminded Phelix. "Right or wrong, I doubt there's a one of us who wouldn't do whatever he had to to keep his woman safe." Haides
"he's right, there's nothing I wouldn't do to protect my wife and her honor." Monokles
Galen hugged Bathymaas and then his brother. "I hate you." galen
"I hate you too." Aricles
Bathymaas scowled. "We don't mean it, my lady. Rather, it's our way of saying that we're still mad, but are willing to forgive." Aricles
"Mortals are so strange." Bathymaas”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dark Bites

“Have I lost Emma entirely? Did I throw away everything I ever wanted with one
disagreement?”
― Anna Banks, Of Neptune

“is it just me or does it seem like the gods have a vendetta against us?" Hector
"They want us dead" Aricles
"Ah, good. I'm not the only one who's noticed. And here I thought it was just me." Hector
"It is disconcerting, isn't it? And battle isn't all I thought it'd be." Galen
"Is that remorse I hear?" Aricles
"It's remorse. I keep going back to that day on the farm when they came to recruit us. Do you remember what you said to me while we packed?" Galen
"Not to forget your cloak?" Aricles
"You told me that battle wouldn't be the same as the war games I' played. That the day would come when I'd grow tired of walking through blood-saturated fields." Galen
"And has that day come brother?" Aricles
Galen nodded.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Dark Bites

“Dinner doesn't start without me.”
― Cayla Kluver, Sacrifice

“Nothing and no one had ever belonged to him and only him—except Legion. Not that she would do anything necessary to save him, nor would he do anything necessary to save her. But. Yeah, there was always a but with him. He had been her first lover—and he wanted to be her last.”
― Gena Showalter, The Darkest Seduction

“If Grom felt for Nalia the way
Galen does for Emma, then it must have felt
like a living death. Every single day.
He should know that I can’t allow a tiny
law to separate me from her.”
― Anna Banks, Of Triton

“Highness, I’ve heard your lovely sister plans to join us soon,” Jagen says from behind them. “What a happy reunion.”
Galen rolls his eyes before turning to face him. “You are correct, Jagen. Rayna has missed you. She loves that face you make
when you’re upset. She says it’s the best impression of a rockfish she’s ever seen.”
Jagen doesn’t like this. His lips curl into a snarl. “Go ahead, young prince. Have a laugh at my expense. I assure you it will be the last time.”
Toraf glides in front of Galen. “That sounds a lot like a threat. To my knowledge,threatening a Royal is still illegal.”
Galen grabs his shoulder. “It’s fine, Toraf. Let this squid release his ink. Ink will only last so long before it fades away in the current. When his protective cloud is gone, everyone will see what’s really going on here.”
― Anna Banks, Of Triton

“If something happens to her because of you, your death will be my priority.”
― Anna Banks, Of Triton

“When nature gave all the animals their organs for conception, it equipped those organs with a special facility for creating pleasure, and the soul with a ‘marvellous and indescribable desire to make use of them.”
