Sabrina Max grows bolder as the minutes slip by, first letting his fingers rest lightly on my stockinged calf as I lay cuddled in his lap, then slowly drifting his hand higher to cup under my knee. And even if I know it’s fake – that Max is only attracted to Betty, a girl I made up to perfectly suit his tastes, not the real me – heat blooms in me anyway.My cheeks are nicely flushed by the time he starts to stroke his thumb idly up and down the back of my thigh, my heartbeat raised.“So, how are your studies going?” Max murmurs, taking the opportunity to glance down at my body – looking all the way down my dress to where it rides up scandalously high on my legs.“Oh, you don’t want to hear about my silly little books,” I whisper, laughing softly.He raises his eyes to mine again and I’m struck again by just how damn pretty they are –

Sabrina I hum lightly to myself as I thumb through the pages of Philomena’s book until I get to the page I want. It’s not an original manuscript – a photocopy, in fact – so it’s got all of my notes in the corners. And at the top there is a very pretty drawing of a very pretty little fish.My work, of course.“Okay, fishie,” I whisper, smiling and tracing a finger over the little guy’s pretty shape. “Time to be my bait.”I exhale, drawing my finger away from the page and concentrating, looking through Philomena’s writing again to find the hook she embedded in the piece that allows me to start the spell. I find it quickly – I’ve been practicing this spell for a long time and itching to use it – and begin to concentrate, allowing the magic to form in my mind according to the instructions my muse has laid out.While I let everyone at Max’s d

 Rhett I lean toward Max, pressing a hand to my chest, speaking slowly and seriously like I’m begging him to hear me. Which I am – even though we’ve been through this a thousand times. “I don’t date in this school, Max, because I’m a fucking Delta. The girls here are Celestials – they don’t even look at me.”“One – bullshit,” Max, says, holding up a finger at me in the same way I did to him a few minutes ago – something we’ve been doing since were kids. “I see girls looking at you all the time –““Looking is different than dating. You can look at someone without acknowledging its worth as a person.”Max takes a deep breath, I think seeing my point and working hard – again, as he usually does – to check his p

Sabrina  I lean against the stone wall in the shadow of the library doors, using one of the very expensive pieces of higher magic that my father bought for me as a child to pull darkness around me, letting me blend in here with the wall. The spell, ingrained in my body now, takes no effort or magic – controlled and run by the beating of my heart until I dismiss it just as easily.God, but higher magic is great.My wolf paces back and forth in my soul – not precisely anxious but…wary. Eager. Waiting. My eyes move to the little table I set up before the library doors.There’s not much on it, just a little saltine cracker resting on the wood. And above it, my other magical fish, which gleefully fileted and cooked itself upon my command. I’m very pleased with this little spell of Philomena’s – it’s brilliant, and so detailed. I mean, the fish is largely

Cosette “Give me that!” Sabrina growls, throwing herself to the ground next to me and snatching for my water bottle, knowing precisely what I intend to do with it.“No!” I cry, shoving her away, kicking her sharply in the thigh. She gasps, sprawling on her side for a moment as I turn back to the dying man whose body hitches and shakes, coming to the absolute end –I have to get to him now –I shift to my knees, crawling back to his side.“Cosy!” Sabrina screeches, getting up too, grabbing for me. “Don’t you dare –“I turn, whipping the water bottle out and splashing her in the face with it. She gasps, surprised more than anything, going still.“You move,” I snarl, pointing at her with the bottle. “One fucking inch, Sabrina – and I will turn that to acid &nd
