Sitting down on the edge of the enormous bed, my emotions come to a head and a sob wracks my body. Tears burn at the corners of my eyes, and my chest and throat tighten as I try to hold it in. My life has changed so drastically in the last two months, and the cold reality is that it’s never going to be the same again.
Living a carefree life in Costa Rica waiting tables and picking up an acting job here and there could not be any different from where I now find myself. Trying to save the world from a criminal organization, going on life-threatening missions? Sebastian had gotten angry just seeing me kiss another demon… I can only imagine what he’ll do if he finds out I’m working undercover for the Raven Society to take him down.
But the part that scares me the most is this new magic. I’d thought I was cured of my demon side. It seems, however, that Tamsin’s treatment either didn’t work exactly as we’d hoped, or that it’s only temporary. She would lose her mind if she knew I’d started feeling like this. Part of me wishes I’d told her the night before I left, when I thought I saw flames in my eyes. I know, though, that she’d never have let me come here if she’d known.
I don’t know what any of it means. Will I eventually turn back into the horned and scaled atrocity that I’d been when the Night Guild first turned me into a hybrid? Or does this just mean my magic will be different forever?
A witch’s magic is her dearest friend, a part of her soul. The fact that mine now feels foreign to me breaks my heart and makes me feel more alone than I’ve ever felt in my life. Including when my parents died and Tamsin fled to New York. Even then I’d had my power, my constant companion.
What will happen to me? Will my magic lose all semblance of the witch I once was?
All I know for sure is that whatever’s happening to me, Sebastian amplifies it. Because it’s been growing stronger since the moment I laid eyes on him. It has to be the reason my desire for him is so strong. Like a raging forest fire. I crave him and his magic in a way I haven’t wanted anything before.
And if I can’t keep that craving under control, it may literally be the death of me.
