A witch with so much potential

NALEDI’S POV

One order. Two words.

That was all it took for the most pleasant scent of earth and flowers to fill my senses. So much so that I doubled back in shock. Another peculiar thing was that I could tell exactly where they were coming from.

Marcus.

It was all Marcus. His scent wrapped the air like a proud peacock and that's when I felt it. His essence. Earth. So much earth that it felt like I walked into the woods. Wild earthy scents mixed with the allure of beautiful sweet flowers.

“Your essence.” I gasped in a small voice, basking in its regal glory. “It’s beautiful.”

That was the only word I could manage.

“I never want you to hide your essence. It’s so intoxicating, and unforgettable. Does all witches have this kind of essence?” I asked, barely able to contain myself.

“Exactly why it needs to be hidden,” Caellm said and suddenly I felt his essence diminish.
