Chapter 37

She takes the secret to the grave.

Moments later Falcon barges through the door, disappearing through the dark corridor. Luckily, he doesn't see me and I wonder why the hell he's there in the first place, discussing my magic with Jorgen and Lucas.

Lucas' energy is strong and vibrant, dancing along the surface of my skin. He looks good wearing a white crispy shirt and he hasn't shaved this morning. It's a small detail, but I notice.
