Chapter 15

A knock sounded on our door, and I looked up from my history book to check if Natasha was going to get it. Even though it was late, I wanted to read through the first chapter of all my texts before tomorrow’s classes, so I didn’t feel as behind going in for my traditional classes I’d missed for my assessment.

Natasha had her emerald headphones on, so I slid off my bed and went to see who our visitor was. When I opened the door, I stepped back. A tall, pale boy had his arm up, holding a plastic bag out at my eye level.

I cringed at the contents. Fingernail clippings. Gross.

“These are for Natasha.” He waved it, and I took the offending bag. He left without another word.

I closed the door and tossed the bag next to my roommate on her desk. She flinched and pulled off her headphones to glare at me. “Who are these from?”

“How many vampires do you have bringing you their nails?” I climbed back on my bed and resumed my reading position.

“A few.”

That wasn’t comforting. I didn’t like the idea of strangers’ body parts laying around our room. Even if it was just nails, hair, and venom. My human-raised brain had trouble adjusting.

“He was really tall, thin, and super pale.”

She rolled her eyes. “Jesper.”

At least Hannah and the guys warned me about the exchanges between the three species, or this would have been a much different conversation. “Are you working on a spell?”

Her gaze snapped to me. “What if I am?”

I wasn’t going to back down just because she was trying to intimidate me. It might be a stupid idea, but I was sick of quietly taking it when she tried to push me around.

“I was just curious. I haven’t seen one that uses any vampire contributions yet.”

Her eyes narrowed just slightly. “I’m helping a friend find their bonded. I’ve tried with hair, but it didn’t work. I’m trying nails this time.”

Bonded? Hannah’s mentioned that before, but it was also with so much other information that I never really paid attention.

“What’s a bonded?”

She turned in her chair, completely facing me. “You really have no idea what you’re doing here do you?”

I shrugged. “I’m here to learn about my abilities.”

She rolled her eyes. “I mean, you don’t understand our world.”

“It’s been one day. Cut me some slack.”

The corners of her lips flicked up for a nanosecond, almost like a smile, but stopped. I had to be wrong. No way was Natasha softening toward me.

“But your parents didn’t even tell you? About the bond?” she asked.

I shook my head. “They’re human. They don’t know anything about this world either.”

“Right.” She pulled her headphones from around her neck and sat them on the desk. “The bond is a magical connection between two supes. Sometimes we call those two people pairs. When a pair finds each other and forms the bond, it can amplify their abilities making them individually more powerful, as well as together.”

I’d read enough fantasy romance novels for this to make sense.
