Chapter 16
Rowan
Ibite my lip, trying to concentrate on the glowing orb hovering between my palms. Heathâs voice drones on about energy manipulation, but my mind wanders. Again.
âRowan? Are you with me?â Heathâs concerned tone snaps me back to reality.
âSorry, I justâ¦â I trail off, letting the orb dissipate. âCan we take a break?â
Heath nods, but he looks concerned, clearly impatient to keep going. As he steps away, memories of our training sessions flood back. The exhilaration of finally casting successful spells, the pride in Granâs eyes. But always, always, the nagging worry about Mia.
I slump against the wall, closing my eyes. Darickâs face swims into view for the umpteenth time. I shove the thought away, focusing instead on Mia. Itâs been so long since that cryptic text about her, and what have we actually done? Nothing.
Granâs words echo in my head: âThe coven leaders are working on it, dear. These things take time.â
Time. As if Mia has all the time in the world while sheâs being held captive by vampires.
I clench my fists, frustration bubbling up. We should be out there, searching. Doing something. Anything. Instead, Iâm here, learning to make pretty lights while my sister suffers.
And Darick⦠I canât shake these thoughts of him. The memory of his kiss in my dream sends an unwelcome shiver over my skin.
âDammit,â I mutter, pushing off the wall. âThis isnât enough.â
Heath turns back to me. âRowan? Whatâs not enough?â
âNothing,â I say with a tight smile. âIâm just tired, I guess. Could we take a break?â
âSure.â He gives a wide, toe-curling smile. At least, thatâs what I would have thought a couple of months back when I was still fighting off a giant crush on him. Now, heâs justâ¦sweet. Too sweet, if I think about it.
Not like Darick at all.
Stop thinking about Darick!
With a smile, I head to the door to my cottage and hold it open. Heath gathers his spell books and slips out, hesitating on the patio beyond the threshold.
âJust keep practicing,â he says. âAnd remember, there comes a responsibility with the power you now wield. Be careful with it.â
âAbsolutely.â I nod too much, a hand on the door.
âSoâ¦Iâll see you tomorrow?â He sounds eager.
âSure,â I say, already thinking up ways to bow out of it. I start to close the door. âGoodnight, Heath.â I shut it just as heâs about to say something, then lean against it.
âWhatâs got you looking so bleak?â Poppy peers out from a fruit bowl where sheâs been helping herself to a crisp apple.
I heave a sigh. âIâm just wishing everyone would take this more seriously,â I tell her. âI understand that I need to learn how to control my magic, but I feel like Iâm back in school.â
Iâm about to launch into another rant when my phone buzzes. Frowning, I fish it out of my pocket.
Unknown number.
âWhat is it?â Poppy asks, scampering closer.
I read the message aloud: âInfo on Mia. Nocturne Lounge. 9 pm. I will find you there.â
My heart races. âItâs got to be a trap,â I mutter.
