I do my bit and that’s it but when it’s Alanna we barely cross paths” “So, she has?”. “I never said that”. “You didn’t need to but don’t worry I’m not going to say anything. She’ll land herself in it just like always”. “You being out here going to become a regular thing?”. He asked. I shrugged. “Do you ever feel like you don’t belong sometimes?”. “I’m the outsider Leah so what do you think?”. “I’m the outsider too remember.

The attraction I felt for Ruan was still there—a pulsing, living thing that made my blood hum whenever he was near.

“Really? Aren’t you doing the same to me? Exploiting me for your own needs? Why are you acting like you aren’t one of them?” “You don’t understand…they will use magic on you,” I still struggled. “Then let it be…if that means bringing back my memories then so be it.
