"I'm sure if it was connected to Sam and Sierra, they would be putting on a show just to see how crazy they could make it." My brother laughs and I'm thankful for the attention shift.

She sits next to Gentry and sets the book in between them. "Skylar, chere please. Your mates can stay, but need to keep their distance. We need to see what level of connection this fire has to you specifically before we bring them in." Gentry calls to me.
I squeeze Oliver's hand, he's reluctant to letgo. He's seen what magic can do, how sensitive I am to it and is probably more protective ofbecause of that. I slowly move toward them and sit in front of the grimoire. The fire immediately turns black with a purple tip. I can hear all the gasps around me, but like always with spell work I get lost in it and everyone else aroundis a blur. My wolf bristles at the color and energy coming off of the flames.
"It's a domination spell with an emphasis on control and staying hidden. This is designed specifically for you Little One. I wonder why it hasn't shown itself before now though? We have all sat in front of this fire for months, knowing about and feeling the magic and never feeling anything harmful, but now it is angry." Gentry doesn't look atwhile she talks, it's more like she is speaking to the fire confirming its feelings like you would with a child.
"Is it here to control the pack, or me, or the pack through me? How do we figure out what it's meant for specifically? Is it angry with us, with me, with whoever set it?" I ask, not taking my eyes off it either. "Those are all great questions that will take stto answer. But we will get our answers now that it wants to communicate." They both start humming and chanting something I don't understand, but the flames seem to slow down almost like they're getting sleepy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI want to touch it. I have since we cout of the vortex. I'm drawn to the fire now for sreason, but that makeshesitate too. Am I drawn to it because I can sense it's my element or because of scrazy spell from Adrielle trying to trap me? "Does Adrielle know about my connection to the fire? Is that why it's at the center of the pentagram? Or is that a common thing to place at the center?" "The pentagram is used for so many things, mostly protection. She has manipulated it to hold you here and control many members of your leadership. The everburning flis a rarity. Fire needs something of earth to consmaking it difficult to sustain. I thought it might have been attached to the former Alpha, but it is still burning. I do not believe it is attached to the former Luna, but that is something we will have to test eventually. But the fact that the flames turned black and purple on your approach tells us it is being used against its will." "You keep talking about the fire pit like it has a mind of its own, a personality." Mateo says from somewhere to my right. I forgot the rest of our friends were here with us. Search the Find Nøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"In a sense it does. This flwas set with the intention to help capture Skylar." The rumbling growlsremindhow behind hate hearing how much my mates but they need to get over that sentiment quickly. "But since she has begun releasing the spells that are holding your pack hostage, it wants to be set free too."
"Is the black part of the fla curse or protection? It means both right?" I ask, not wanting to get too off track. Magic is a rabbit hole none of us are ready for a crash course in.
"It does." Elena replies. "I think it was a curse to begin with, but it wants to protect. Remember magic is neither good or bad, it is the caster thatm makes it one or the other. In this case, the magic was set to curse your former Alpha and your pack, nothing more nothing less. But, somehow setting the rest of the pentagram free from the curse gave this flsomething akin to a personality and it wants to be set free."
