Feels guilty because he was traveling when she was tortured to death68
Had no photographs of her, nor had any of the paintings he'd attempted ever done her justice. Only in his dreams did he see her120
She was so beautiful to Asil, even though he knew that others might not find her so120
Sarai had often thumped him soundly on the head for looking at other women, though she’d known he’d never stray. Now that she was gone, he seldom even looked. Flirting didn’t make him feel disloyal to his dead mate, but he’d found he missed that thump too badly165
He’d found her himself, days after she’d died. He’d taken her poor body and washed it clean. Had burned it with salt and holy water. Knowing who had killed her, he wanted there to be no way to raise her from the dead171
Kept Sarai's favorite shirt all these years and occasionally sleeps with it on his pillow171
She who taught him how to grow plants indoors174
Asil and his wife's mate bond had brought with it an unusual gift, empathy211
Some mated pairs could talk to each other mind to mind, but with Sarai it had always been emotion. Over the years, practice had allowed it to develop into something not so much different from telepathy255
For Sarai, Asil lived and died257
Asil about Bran: “A gift you have, someone who knows what needs to be done and will do it. You have a place to come home to, a safe place, because of him. I had to leave my Alpha to come here because he’d have let me rot in madness out of love. A weak love that betrays. If you knew what I feel, what Carter Wallace felt, you’d know what a blessing you have in Bran Cornick, who will kill those who need killing.”56
Asil thought to see Charles, the original lone wolf, caught with a foot in the trap of amor will amuse him for a while longer57
Asil came to Bran a month ago complaining about his dreams and asking Bran to put him out of his misery68
Asil came to Aspen Creek fifteen years ago to ask Bran to kill him. He settled for the promise of death instead-as soon as Bran determines he really is crazy110
Asil has no problem with Bran being his Alpha, but he has a problem with Charles being more dominant110
Digs at Charles and Charles ignores him; then he digs harder111
Wanted Anna to know that if she decided not to have Charles, she could pick Asil instead112
Disliked Charles almost as much as Leah did123
Sage, he knew, was beginning to suspect that his madness was feigned. Bran probably thought so, too, since he hadn’t just killed him, though Asil had requested it of him repeatedly—fifteen years of “not yet.”169
Supplied the bouquet and decorated the chapel with his roses for Charles and Anna's wedding293
Sage was seldom found too far from Asil if he was present93
Sage and Asil had something going on-something they'd been pretty private about140
Juste has a problem with Asil for not killing the Beast of Gévaudan151
Bran used Asil to deal with Wellesley most of the time155
Knew Sherwood Post before the witches got to him and took his leg and memory173
Kara was a favorite of Asil's171
Asil and Devon had once been very close250
Asil had liked and respected Devon, and goodness knew Asil didn't respect very many people on the planet. Bran. The mysterious amnesiac Sherwood Post. Anna couldn't think of anyone else offhand295
Asil had disappeared for a few days after finding Sage. When he returned, he had retreated to his roses and only come out when Kara went and got him305
