“Maybe I could wish my way to completing one of my three promises instead.I need to find other amethysts like the ring you recovered, and I have this locator.”She pulled an engraved silver charm from inside her collar, the one she wore along with an enchantment that made her gold royal blood look human red.
He whistled low.“That’s a Nahualli-crafted charm.Made by a witch Senate heir, the best spellcaster in the world.”
“Don’t you hate the witch Senate?”
“I’m learning to be more selective in my down-with-the-authorities vibe.”
“Ah, your crush on one of their Legacy heirs is changing your mind about the horrible hags?”
“No.”He didn’t sound at all sure.“Anyway, that charm must’ve cost a fortune on the magic market.”
“It was a gift.”
“Another marriage proposal?Do you get to keep the engagement presents every time you say no?”
“It wasn’t like that.A witch gave it to me one night at a club.We’d just met.”
“Being a supermodel must be tough.”His sarcasm made the truth even worse.
“He ghosted me.”She whispered the impossibility.Daniel Perry had lefther.A supermodel.A princess.“I should’ve tossed the charm, but…I couldn’t.He said he hoped the spell would bring me more luck in finding my heart’s desire than it did him.He was so beautiful and broken.”
“How long’ve you been carrying his not-so-lucky charm around?”
“Two years.I couldn’t believe he was out on Halloween.For a witch, that’s bold.”
“Or stupid.For him to leave you, I’m betting on stupid.So are you going to try the locator spell or not?”
“Yes.”No matter how much she wanted to save it.“For the other amethysts.”
“Remember, it has to be what your heart desires.”
“Getting out of the blood vows is all I want.”She pricked her finger, touched her spelled-red-instead-of-goblin-princess-gold blood to the charm, and invoked the premade charm.
“Well, did it buzz or telepath you directions?”Diego crowded her.“What happened?”
“Nothing.Absolutely nothing.”Disappointment rolled through her one nonmagic wave at a time.
Diego’s phone rang.He sounded annoyed with the caller.In a flash, his expression changed from get-to-the-point crankiness to wide eyes and a tense jaw.“Vori, we need to go.”He jumped to his feet and ran for the stairs.
“What’s happening?”She followed as fast as she could in high-heeled boots.
“We need to rescue my Legacy love from a secret Senate prison.”
A jailbreak that would piss off the hideous hags?“I’m so in.”
