in. "There was a boy, before. I liked him so much but he didn’t really
like me and then one day he did. He liked me and everyone liked me and they
invited me to parties and they wanted to be my friend."
    "Magic."
    I looked up at him hurt. "Is that the only way you think
that would happen for me?"
    He shakes his head and looks down. "I know how it feels
for things to work out when you wish it."
    "Phillip?" My voice is small and shaky.
    He shakes his head. "There was another boy. I didn’t love
him. I hated him. He was a shifter. He was so mean to me so I just wished he
loved me and wanted me and couldn’t have me. I wished it out of spite. It was
horrid. Phillip hated me. He was so angry but I didn’t understand how I had
cast it. The boy suffered and Phillip thought I loved someone else, until Oliver
broke it. Well made Lillith break it. Oliver explained it to me. He said that
when a witch's magic is coming into them they cast when they wish for things
really hard and don’t know it. Now my body can feel the difference between
magic and just a daydream, but back then it couldn’t. Oliver was really nice to
me."
    I nod. "I did the same. I cast on a whole town of people.
My whole high school. I just wish it was real and I was back there and none of
the rest of this was happening."
    Tristan puts his hand over mine and frowns. "Kind of an
assy thing to say to your only brother."
    I snort. "I still want you to be there for me but I wish
everything else would just fix."
    He leans in and kisses my cheek, which feels super weird since
I'm naked in the tub. "If I die you have to swear you'll wipe Phillip's
mind and let him start fresh."
    My eyes dart at him. He nods. I search his beautiful eyes for
some kind of joke in it all. He smiles as if he is at peace with it.
    I shake my head. "No. Don’t talk like that. Please don’t
talk like that."
    My brother smiles. "I have fallen in love with him so
hard. It is enough for a lifetime. When he pursued me, oh it was amazing. It
was such a feeling to be sought after by a man like that. His love has been
more than anyone deserves. If I die you will save him O. You will make him
whole again and let him have a normal life and you will swear it to me."
    My eyes have filled with tears but I don’t know why. It's all
hypothetical. I nod. "I swear." My voice breaks. He stands.
"Alright. I will go make you some pancakes and sausages."
    I laugh. "Tell Annabelle I want some scrambled eggs to go
with it."
    He turns and laughs. "I will."
    He closes the door and I don’t know what to say or do but I
miss Oliver and I want him. I feel the magic that could force him to me
crawling around under my skin. I sigh and push it back.

    "These guys hate me." I lean in and whisper to Ari.
    She nods. "Me too. When they found out me and Lucas were
mated his uncle punched him in the face."
    We aren’t allowed to sit at the table where they discuss
Aleks's father. Instead we sit back against the wall in the huge log home.
    Aleks glances back at me, still smirking.
    "Why is everyone giving me that shitty grin?"
    Ari's face split. Her black eyes fill with humor, "What
grin?"
    I tilt my head. She grins at me, like everyone else has.
    I point. "That stupid grin."
    "Oh my god Aimes. They can all smell the sex on Aleks. He
reeks of it. They can smell the demon on you. They know you are a succubus like
demon. They can't help but smell the sex on you two and imagine the way you
suck from him while you're doing it."
    I grimace. "They can smell all that?" My face is
glowing red. I scowl at Aleks. He tries to look innocently at me.
    Ari fights the giggle bubbling from her lips. She covers her
face where the piercing in her mouth used to be and nods.
    I glare and purse my lips. "Great. Just great."
    "We don’t really want to get involved in this. It's
Rose's trouble, not a pack problem. What do you really expect us to do?"
    I'm tapping my feet listening to them. I want to
