Spellcastingclass was a lot more fun when you could use your magic. I went through the exercises with Zach and Matt, practicing turning water to ice to steam. The three of us all identified with fire, but we were responsible for demonstrating at least basic levels of working with the other elements.
I was amazed how quickly the magic came to me, though it wasn't any different than it was for Matt and Zach. I supposed I was finally using my magic correctly. Whatever the mating bond magic had done to me, it had an incredible impact on my magic. Though, I wasn't about to tell Matt and Zach the details.
They didn't mention it and I wondered if their mom left that part out so they would keep hitting on me. Which they did, relentlessly.
I kind of liked it.
"Very good, Ms. Winters," Professor Halifax said as she walked by our group. My cup of water had a massive inverted icicle sticking out of it after I successfully turned the water to ice.
"You think that's good," Matt said, "check this out." He threw the cup of water at Professor Halifax and froze it mid pour. The water hardened into a frozen splash before it could hit the professor. The ice fell to the ground, cracking into dozens of pieces.
"Impressive, Mr. Obscura," Professor Halifax said.
"Lucky, more like," Zach said.
The professor smirked, then turned away from us to visit another group.
"That was ballsy," I said. "What if you didn't freeze it in time?"
He shrugged. "Worth it if it impressed you."
"You're not going to give up, are you?" I asked.
"No way," he said. "When you give in, you'll get to experience just how incredible sex can be. You can't connect magic with a shifter the way you can with a mage."
My cheeks burned. He'd never given any sign that he knew I'd been with Ben, but now I knew. "I'm sure there are plenty of mages here who would happily take you up on the offer. Mages who weren't set up by your mom."
"Burn," Zach said.
"Class, please clean up your supplies before you go," Professor Halifax said just as the bell rang.
Quickly, we cleaned up everything and I grabbed my backpack and walked toward the door. Luka was standing in the hallway waiting for me.
"I was going to ask if you wanted to meet up later but I can see that you're busy," Matt said darkly.
I didn't get a chance to respond before he and his brother took off down the hall. I turned back to Luka. "That was weird."
"Not really," he said. "There's some bad blood between our families."
"Seriously?" I asked. "Why is everything in this world so fucking complicated?"
"It can't be that much different from the human world, can it?" Luka asked. "How was your first day back?"
"Having my magic back is so, so good," I said.
"I do miss you in the library," Luka said. "But I'm glad you got your magic back."
"At least we have gym together," he said, his voice heavy with sarcasm.
"Youhave gym. I have to meet my parole officer," I said.
"Lucky girl," he said.
"Right, so lucky." I honestly think I'd prefer gym to the conversation I was in for today.
