Chapter Fifteen

“He’s going to die!” Tears poured down Valerie’s cheeks. “Every single day, he grows weaker and weaker.” It shouldn’t happen. A body shouldn’t be so frail. So weak.

Death shouldn’t take the young.

Genevieve gave a long sigh as she looked up from her book of spells. “Of course, he’s going to die, Val. He’s human.” She shrugged one elegant shoulder. Genevieve was always elegant. Always dressing as if she was the queen of the world and not the illegitimate daughter of a council witch. “Humans die. That’s their thing.”

“Death isn’t for Tomas. He’s only twenty-five. He’s young. He’s strong.”

“He is sick. One of those terrible human conditions that eats away at the body. I could see his weakness the first time you introduced him to me.” Genevieve closed her book. “I wondered why you were wasting yourself with him. He’s hardly your type.”

“He makes me laugh.” He had such a quick smile. And he loved her. “He can’t die. We can fix him.” She ran forward and grabbed her best friend’s hand. “I’m not strong enough do it on my own. But together, we can. We can do anything.”

Genevieve’s eyes flew wide. “We can’t heal a human!”

“Of course, we can! We’re the best witches on earth.”

“He’s a human. That’s forbidden! We can’t show magic to him.”

Valerie glanced away from her friend. Guilt flushed her cheeks.

“You’ve already shown him magic.” Genevieve’s voice was hushed.

He’d been so sick. He hadn’t been able to get out of bed. She’d wanted to make him smile. Tomas had such a great smile. So she’d made it snow in his room. He’d laughed and laughed.

Then he’d started coughing and hadn’t been able to stop.

“You’re going to get in trouble.” Now Genevieve was holding her hand, gripping it too tightly. “You’d better hope he dies before he can tell anyone!”

What? Valerie snatched her hand back. “He’s not going to die. We’re going to heal him!” She had plans. “And then we’re going to make him immortal. He’ll be able to stay with me forever.”

Genevieve shook her head. “You can’t do that.”

Why not? “I can’t let him die. That’s what I can’t do. I love him.”

“You don’t. You can’t love anyone, Val. We all know that’s your curse. The strongest magic, the coldest heart. That’s what everyone said when you were born. You think you love him, but you don’t. You pity him. And you’re just getting your emotions all confused. He’s going to die, and you’ll see. You’ll go right on living. You’ll probably be even more powerful. A witch’s magic grows with pain, and you—”

“I want you to help me!”

Genevieve drew herself up. Stood tall. “I am.”

No, she wasn’t. “Heal him. If we put our power together—”

“I won’t use magic on your mortal. He’s going to die.”

Frustration poured through her. “I won’t lose him!” She whirled for the door.

Only to find her path blocked by Devon. Valerie blinked. She hadn’t even heard him arrive. He must have used magic to slip into the room. Devon was strong, almost as strong as Genevieve.
