Chapter 231

It was terrifying how easy it was to use my magic now.

Asingle thought woven with intention, entwined with a thread of energy, and reality itself bent beneath my hands.

Holly and I left the garage, walking through the kitchen and into the living room where everyone had gathered. Breyona was talking animatedly to Mason and Clara, while the two Vampire’s standing close by watched with interest. Dad and Asher had come back inside and were now sitting on the sofa still deep in conversation. 1

Without Rowena’s cursed amulet around my neck, it was all too easy.
