THE DEAL

Magnus

 

I paced back and forth in the cramped hideout, my mind racing with thoughts.

 

I needed to get out of this body quickly and get Gaius out of Maple Dome. It has been days since I have been trapped in this body, and I don't even know the kind of things he would have done.

 

I stopped by Maple Dome last night, hoping to see anything unusual, but everything seemed normal. No one suspected Gaius, not even Astrid.

 

I still felt the weird pull from yesterday when I had seen her; it was almost like an invisible string dragging me towards her. Could this man be her mate?

 

Meredith burst in, breaking me out of my thoughts. "You know pacing back and forth won't help you get to your body faster."

 

"I'm sick of doing nothing." I groaned. " I have been here for days doing nothing while Gaius has control of my body, doing God knows what."
