I close my eyes and think about Amanda. I connect with my magic and teleport to where she is.
When I open my eyes, I see myself in the kitchen of the apartment, a few feet away from where I was just standing, the carton of eggs on the counter in front of me.
Sean blinks at me, his phone already at his ear.
I try again, already knowing I’m not going anywhere.
Dread fills me as I stare back at Sean when I open my eyes.
Goddess, give me strength.
We need to find Amanda.
Chapter thirty-five
Amanda
It’sdarkwhenIwake up, my mouth dry and my head pounding.Goddess, I feel awful. My body aches all over, and my headache is making it feel like the room is shaking all around me.
I close my eyes, rubbing at my head as if the touch might soothe away the pain.
It doesn’t, and I can’t understand why I feel so terrible.
Wolves aren’t susceptible to human illnesses, so I doubt I’m coming down with something.
The last time I felt this bad …
Oh, Artemis! It’s a magical hangover.
My eyes snap open, and I look down to confirm I’m fully dressed on top of my sheets, rather than under them. There’s an empty vial by my side and I remember I was working on a spell, before I spilled the contents over myself, because Aunt Maria called out to me.
She was coming into the room. I had to cast the spell on myself to get rid of the evidence.
After that, I’m not sure, but it looks like I had another spill.
That would do it.
I’ve never cast the same spell on myself in quick succession before, but I’ve experienced the tired achiness the comes with using too much magic, and this is what it feels like.
I put my spell making supplies away and get changed into pajamas.
By the time I’m ready for bed, I can barely keep my eyes open.
My thoughts drift to the truth spell I was making, and I’m not sure when I’ll get the chance to make it again. It’s the last day of school tomorrow, and it’s my last chance to find out how Jake really feels before the ceremony that will reveal his true mate, if he has one in this town.
One kiss, and I knew we were meant to be together.
We’re true mates, I can feel it.
I think he felt it, too.
I’m going to find out.
I don’t care what it takes.
