Closing her eyes, she shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.Once everything had focused, she turned to Bianca. “You’re so buying that dress. I won’t even take no for an answer.”Linking her arm with Bianca, together they walked away from Guy and Caleb.He’s not going to mate with her.Should she say something?“Why were they here?” Bianca asked.“I don’t know.”They purchased Bianca’s dress and made their way out onto the street.“You were going all witchy in there against Guy.”“I know. I know. I couldn’t control it.”She was so angry at Guy for not claiming her friend when he clearly needed to. Lucy hadn’t heard any tales of what happened to males if they didn’t claim their mates. What would happen to Guy if she took Bianca away?“You’re going to have to do better. It wouldn’t exactly be good if you appeared on the evening news.”Lucy nodded. Her parents had always told her to be careful about her powers. Most of the time, she chanted or meditated in order to stay calm, but

The following day, Lucy made her way back to the creek with her spellbook in hand. What was she supposed to call it? Her parents had surprised her last night with the book that had been with her when they found her. They had been worried about her having a book they didn’t understand, and if she was completely honest, she was terrified of using it. What if she couldn’t make the magic work? The only time she’d been successful was when her emotions had been crazy.Bianca was staying at home for the day, and she didn’t want her friend to be close in case some of the spells—or whatever the hell they were called—were dangerous.“This is crazy, Lucy. You’re going near a creek, deep in the forest, to learn some spells. Spells you don’t have a clue how they work, or even if you want them to work. Completely crazy.”She held the book against her chest and paused as she made her way out of the thick line of trees, looking toward the calming creek.Placing the book on the ground, she had to wond

“It is when you’ve got the whole pack to protect you. Before you consider leaving the pack, you need to really work on your magic. From what I saw with Patricia, your emotions play a part. You’ll get angry and your magic comes out. Waiting for your emotions isn’t good—not even for you—and when you’re in a battle, you don’t want to wait to get angry.”He couldn’t let her leave.“What do you suggest? I can’t stay here forever.”“Why not? Your family is here.”She snorted. “I can’t stay here. You’re all wolves, destined to be together. I’m going to have to find other witches—and whatever they call the men. There’s no chance of me ever finding something with someone.”Her cheeks heated, and her body betrayed her reaction.“What are you not saying?” he asked.“There’s no one here for me. You can screw half the pack, and no one looks my way. I didn’t have a prom date to prom, and I can’t date.”“You want to date?”“Yes!”She covered her face with her hands, and he noticed in the distance br

She tried to pull her hand away from him, but he wouldn’t let her go.“This is all part of being on a date.”“Holding hands?”“Yes, I’m an expert. You are not.”“Exactly how many women have you dated?”“Does that matter?”“Of course it does.” He smirked.“Come on, wise ass, how many women have you dated, and that doesn’t include women you’ve screwed.”“And what do you allow for an actual date?” he asked.“There has to have been dinner, talking, and maybe even dancing.” She rested her head against the chair. “That goes for you as well, Guy.”“What?”“How many women have you dated? No lying.”The car went silent, and she saw Bianca was no longer staring out of the window.“Well, I don’t hear you answering,” Lucy said.“Fine. We’ve not dated, okay?”Lucy chuckled. “Don’t try to tell me that you know more than I do. You’re a virgin here just like me.”“Yeah, but I’m only a virgin on the whole dating thing. I’ve got everything else covered.”Her cheeks heated as he pressed a kiss to her ha

Turning back to Lucy, he saw the wonderment dancing within her eyes, and truly wished he saw what she did.“You can see the power that binds them together?”She nodded.He looked at Lucy, wishing he knew what she was thinking. Reaching out, he stroked her cheek with the back of his fingers, touching her. He couldn’t stop. For so long he’d been watching her from afar, always wondering what it would be like to be close to her. Now he knew, and there was no turning back.“Are you having fun?” he asked.“I’m a little bored, but Bianca’s having a good time.”He wasn’t about to have Guy win this. Leaning close to her, he captured her lips, sliding his tongue into her mouth. She moaned, putting her hand on his chest, and pulling away.“What are you doing?”“We’re kissing.” He licked his lips. “It’s all part of the dating process.”“You know you’re strange, right?”“I’m a little strange? You can see auras. What does my aura say?”“You’re an ass.”He laughed.“And you want this ass.”“No, I do
