Michael was already waiting by the library entrance when I got there, leaning against the brick wall scrolling th
~Lysander~Zane was checking my temperature.Again.For the third time today.I slapped his hand away. "I don't have a fever."
~Valeria~My father walked into the kitchen holding a book that looked older than the house.Not a good sign.Books that old usually meant bad news or complicated magic or both."We need to talk about the ring," he said, setting it

~Zane~Watching that pretty boy Michael drop Valeria off at home for the third time this week was going to give me a fucking bulge in my blood. I'd been sitting in my car across the street for the past ten minutes, pretending to check emails while actually plotting seventeen different ways to make
