Chapter 13

“So, let me get this straight. The Magical Council called the Watchers monitor all of the magic in the world, and they put the smack down on those abusing their powers or threatening to expose us?” I read from the paper in front of me and then looked up at Paul who sat across from me in the library.

Ian had to go do something mysterious in the basement level, so it left Paul to help me with the booth. We'd been going over the structure of the magical community for well over an hour, and I was ready to put a wand through my ear, into my brain, and wiggle it around a bit. Maybe then it would make sense.

“Not quite.” Paul winced. “The Watchers only monitor this area. There are different factions for each district.”

“And how many districts are there again?” I held my pen poised and ready to scribble down what he said.

“In the US? Thirteen, but that’s counting the ones who cover Alaska and Hawaii. Alaska's usually lumped in with Canada and Hawaii with Mexico.” He drew a picture of the district set up on my notepad, circling clusters of states as he explained.

“Why is Texas by itself?”

Paul grinned. “Because everything is bigger in Texas and that means the attitudes. Plus, most of the people are spread out, not to forget about the fairy colonies that take up a good part of it. They kind of need all the regulation they can get.”

“Fairy colonies? Hold up now.” I slammed my hands down on the table and leaned over it. “You’re saying fairies exist, and you are only telling me this now?”

Paul chuckled at my reaction. He reached up and tweaked my nose, making me scowl and sit back down my hand rubbing my nose. “If I had known you were so interested in mythical beings, I’d have mentioned it before. Most of us learned about them growing up.” He shrugged an apologetic smile. “I guess we just assumed you knew.”

Letting out an aggravated growl, I leaned back in my chair with my arms tight over my chest. “From now on let's just all assume Max knows nothing. Just call me John Snow and get it over with.”

Throwing his head back, Paul laughed loud enough we got shushed by the librarian. I couldn’t bother to feel contrite with how gorgeous he sounded doing it. I mean, give a girl some warning or at least a fresh pair of underwear afterward.

“Okay so ...” I cleared my throat and shifted in my seat, my thighs pressing together to subdue the throbbing there. “You think I should make the focus of my booth combining human and magical life together?”

“Yes.” Paul nodded, moving closer to the table. “You have been saying how you didn't know anything about our world until last year and now you're playing catchup. I mean, we have a twelve-year advantage on you. How do they expect you to catch up so fast?”

The way he said it made me depressed.
