Magic Academy: Finding My Mate
Lucy's hands travel to the bracelets, where he lets them linger while his eyes seek contact with mine.
"Try to summon fire," Lucy says.
I snort. "I can't do that."
Lucy laughs. "Try."
Irritated beyond rationality, I decide to follow his command. I close my eyes to focus—it's a desperate attempt to find those threads of magic coursing through my veins. Finding them proves easy, but reaching for the magic makes me clench my jaw as my imaginary hands strive to touch that inner flame burning inside me.
A fierce grunt moves my lips, and then sparkles dance across my skin at the same time I open my eyes. The handcuffs shatter against the floor, and pieces scatter down the stairs.
