The kiss broke through her despair like the sun breaking through stormclouds, and Magda moaned as she felt a sudden balance whip through her convulsing body. Instantly she knew that the way out was through him, through her mate, through her fate, her destiny.

Him.

His touch.

His strength.

His love.

“What happened, Maggie?” came Benson’s voice through the mist of the moment, and slowly Magda broke from the kiss as she remembered where they were, what was happening, what needed to happen . . . and what had happened: All those years ago in the Black Forest of Germany.

And so she talked, fast and furious, her memories pouring into speech that came out of her so fast she could barely breathe. She spoke of how she’d been that insecure girl, desperately looking for a source of strength, a way to fight back. And when she’d found it in her animal, they’d tried to kill her animal!

“And that’s when I somehow got access to this dark magic,” she said, blinking as she tried to remember the specific moment when it had happened. “But the magic was always dark. Nothing magical had ever happened before the experiments, when they tried to kill my animal and my fox made a deal with darkness. So I think you’re wrong about me being a natural born witch.”

“I’m rarely wrong,” said Benson, shaking his head, his voice sounding confident once more. “Yes, there are things I don’t know sometimes. But that’s not the same as being wrong.” He shook his head again, his eyes darting back and forth as if he was trying to think as fast as he could. “The Darkness can’t just give someone powers out of thin air. It has to be based on something. You know that better than anyone, Magda. Or Maggie. May I call you Maggie?”

Magda blinked, feeling the fox inside nod yes, like being called Maggie lessened its frenzy. She nodded, feeling Caleb’s warmth as he kept his arm tight around her waist, holding her close to his hard body. She frowned when she realized her hips were pressing against him, and then she gasped when she saw her curves were back. Maggie was back.

“Yes,” she finally said, thinking back to how Bart the Bear and Bis the Leopard had opened themselves up to her dark magic by recognizing the darkness within themselves. That hadn’t turned them into dark witches or wizards. It had simply built on whatever was already within them.

“The Darkness?” Caleb said, interrupting her thoughts. “You have a name for it?”

Benson shrugged. “You need to name something to gain power over it. Or at least to talk about it. The Darkness is as good a name as any.”

“And so what is the Darkness? A demon?” said Caleb. “The Devil himself? Aliens?”

Benson snorted. “Aliens? Don’t get me started on those assholes. That’s a whole different mess I have to deal with.”

Caleb’s eyes went wide as he cocked his head. But then Magda saw the twinkle in Benson’s eyes, and she burst
