“That is not the reaction I was trying to get, but I’ll take it,” he chuckled.
“It’s ‘head out of your ass’, not arm,” I said, calming down.
“Oh, that makes so much more sense.” He smiled at me.
“Yeah, so are you trying to tell me he will come around?” I hated feeling like I was a desperate woman.
“He will,” he said, with confidence. “I waited two hundred years and he finally came to his senses. I have a good feeling it might take less time than that for you.”
I rolled my eyes. “That makes me feel so much better, let’s just hope I’m alive when he comes around.”
I said it as a joke, but the moment it left my lips I regretted it.
“We will figure it out. I promise,” Lucien said, pulling me to him for a hug.
“Should we practice my magic or should we research the spell more?” I asked, pointing to the book I was reading.
Lucien set his hand on fire.
“Show off,” I said, rolling my eyes.
“How are you feeling with your fire?”
“I can’t set my hand on fire yet, but I feel more in control. Last night I felt anxious about it, but I've been working on calming myself down like you suggested.” I snapped my fingers trying to light a flame, but only managed a flicker instead of fire.
“It’s going to take you a while to figure it out, but once you do, it will be second nature.” Lucien snapped his fingers lighting candles that were a few tables away from us. “Do you want to practice?”
“I think I want to make a list of the items we need for the spell, maybe do more reading, but I think this could be the core of the spell. I’m missing some ingredients I need, but I’m going to talk to Mr. Potter about them.”
Lucien didn’t say anything as he continued to stroke my back. I knew he was wary about finding something, and I hated that I was getting his hopes up high.
“I think this is the right direction we need to go.” He finally spoke up.
“I’m optimistic about it too,” I said, leaning up. “Now about that night run, are you in your human form or wolf? And does it involve chasing?”
“One lap around and we will see if you’re up to being chased.” He pulled me towards him again until our chests were flushed. “It looked like you might have had fun with Zev. Does getting chased turn you on?”
“Did you watch us?” I was a little surprised.
“Maybe.” He shrugged. “Maybe I’ll tie you up and see how you like it.”
A challenge lit his eyes, and I was glad the sadness was no longer there.
“I’m thinking you’ll have to catch me to find out.” I got up, moving away from him slowly.
“Run, Kit Kat, unless you wanna be caught.” He stood up, licking his lips.
“Nah, why would I make it easy for you, you need to earn your catch.” I took off, hearing him growl.
Excitement coursed through me as I left the library. I needed this. We both did.

LUCIEN
Samhain is every witch’s favorite holiday. Our pack’s celebrations were always big. The nightly run was supposed to be run with our loved ones, since the veil between the living and the dead was almost non-existent.
Since we had been stuck here, we had never celebrated anything. The run we had planned tonight was enough to make me anxious, wondering if I would be able to feel my family even if just for a moment. I walked into our home, the smell of apple pie making my mouth water instantly.
