I fought to contain the magic, a towel wrapped around me, my hair dripping wet, magic dancing around us like glowbugs in the dead of summer, so thick you could barely see through them.

“This is…unexpected.” Zor noted drily as he batted specks of light away. “Do you have a plan for this?”

“You already know I do not.” I told him tartly, toweling my hair dry. “If I still had the collar, the iron would control my power, but right now…” I shrugged. “Right now, the magic wants to run rampant I have no idea how to contain this.”

I had been trying, but the magic slipped through my fingers like water. Zor was right, I had no plan and if he discovered what I’d done, the Shadow King would tear me apart to take this magic.

“I’ll find you iron.” Zorander scanned the room. “But binding the magic will only be a temporary fix. You’d still have to learn to control the magic yourself, because this will only grow stronger. You should have listened to Torin, she gave you that warning for a reason.”

“Does everyone else know? About Torin’s note?”

Why not give it to Tavion, then? Why bother giving me that kind of hope, like I was somehow special, instead of another pawn in this game?

“We all knew you weren’t supposed to try and touch the power. I suppose Torin wanted to make sure you got the message.” Zor leaned against the wall; arms crossed over his chest. “You’ve been here, what…a day? And none of us knew you were a…virgin.”

I snorted. “You thought I didn’t stand a chance at claiming the magic, did you?” Typical. They figured I had nothing of value to trade for power, so I was a safe enough bet.

I suppose the joke was on them.

Two spots of color bloomed in his face. “Did you tell Raziel…before you…?” His brow wrinkled when I shook my head, too humiliated to answer. I should have told Raziel everything, allowed him to make a choice. I’d wronged Raz badly. Wronged him in my rush to save myself, and I had to make this right, somehow.

“I suppose that’s good.” Zor nodded in approval. “It means you can keep a secret.”

I rolled my eyes. There was nothing good about this situation.

“I’ve seen your magic.” I said bluntly. “You can teach me how to control this, or how to hide it, right?”

“Perhaps. Though I have an invasion to plan.” Zor’s mouth tipped up into that cold, cynical smile. “I doubt I’ll be able to make the time. You might have to find someone else to babysit you, princess.” From the look on his face, I knew exactly who he had in mind.

“Raz will never speak to me again.”

I scowled. “You know, since Solok kidnapped me, only one person has helped me. My mother.” Zor’s eyebrows disappeared into his hair. “She told me to claim the magic, which is why I ignored Torin’s warnings.” I looked him up and down.

“The rest of you were determined to keep me weak.
