Untamed Fate (Magic Side: Wolf Bound 2)

The bathroom was empty apart from the overflowing trashcans and paper

towels strewn across the ground.

I examined my reflection in the cracked mirror. My lower lip was swollen

told me that the answer was tangled up with the sorcerer, and until I

discovered who he was and hunted him down, I’d be shit out of luck.

My hands were shaking when I saw Zara and Sam down the hall. They
