Chapter Ten

The idea had begun last night just before she’d been rendered comatose, and it grew during the day as a way to keep her mind off Wyatt Jackson’s careless father.

Now, she sat in the middle of Moira’s unkempt garden, digging at a particularly difficult weed, the temptation to use her magic to remove it killing her.

“So I hear there was more drama at school today?” Ben’s voice interrupted her thoughts.

Winnie turned, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her forearm, also blocking out the ugly-hot sun. “There was. Talk to Miss Marjorie. She can tell you all about it.” She turned her back to him once more, refusing to admire his beauty while she was wearing a pair of sweats that read “I Like Big Butts” on the seat of them.

He sat on the edge of the garden’s stone front. “Maybe I’d like to talk to you about it.”

“Maybe I’m busy, and nowhere in those stupid rules does it say I have to talk to you about anything.”

“But you were a witness to it. Firsthand. Lola tells me she saw Moira.”

Winnie’s heart clenched in that way that was becoming so familiar to her, her fingers tensing. “That was not Moira. I don’t know what kind of magic that wand has, but it was powerful, and I handed it over to BIC so she could speak to Wyatt’s father.”

“I don’t understand how a kid ended up with a wand so powerful.”

“Yeah. Good question, but something’s not right, Ben. I can feel it, and it worries me. Why would a warlock have a wand like that?” Typically, warlock wands weren’t as strong. They utilized other objects like pocket watches to facilitate their magic.

A wand was every witch’s accessory, almost as much as a purse or lip gloss. She missed hers a great deal after having it confiscated.

He leaned in to gaze into her eyes, putting his hand on hers to stop her from digging. “I agree it doesn’t make any sense. Wyatt’s newer to town. Moved here just before Mora died, so I don’t know much about him. His mother is out of the picture, maybe she left her wand behind?”

Winnie made a face at him, letting the warmth of his palm seep into her gloved hand. “What witch in her right mind leaves her wand behind, Ben? It’s not something you can replace.”

“You left yours behind at my place once.”

Because she didn’t think she was going to leave his place forever, and she’d forgotten it in the heat of passion, not with the intention of never coming back.

Winnie stiffened, pulling her hand from beneath his. “That was a different scenario altogether and you know it.” She tugged on the infernal weed harder, yanking as though it had become a representation of their new relationship—difficult.

“Maybe I should talk to Yaga? Find out a little about Wyatt and his dad?”

“Maybe you should.” And maybe you should move away from me so you can stop filling my head with your decadent scent of a man and your plethora of muscles?

“Anyway, thanks for saving Lola again.
