Epilogue
Gavin tried to pretend it was any other morning. Once he’d climbed out
of bed after the truly spectacular orgasm Atlas had given him, he
showered, ate a small breakfast—his stomach was too knotted for anything
else—and sat for meditation with Violet.
Meditation was one of the many things Violet and Fred had considered part
of his Magic 101 lessons. They’d assured him it would help him learn
control once the magic in his blood was unleashed.
He hoped so.
Ever since the night Charlotte was kidnapped and he’d seen Atlas, Lark,
and Pike use their power, vivid dreams had plagued him. In the dreams, he
was the mage and the searing thrill of magic flowing through him felt more
like a drug than a weapon. Sometimes the dreams left him feeling as sated
as an orgasm, and sometimes they wound him up so tight the only thing that
helped was putting on his running shoes and pounding the pavement for
miles.
Atlas usually joined him on mornings like that. He didn’t try to set the pace
—keeping a couple strides behind Gavin and letting him run however he
needed to.
He took a slow breath, trying to empty his mind and center himself. Still, it
plagued him. When the power was real and thrumming beneath his skin like
blood in his veins, how would he outrun it then?
“Are you ready, Gavin?” Violet appeared in front of him, standing in a
white slip dress with the ends of her purple hair dragging the floor.
He still sat on his meditation cushion, legs crossed and hands resting
loosely on his knees. Looking up, he met Violet’s gaze. “I’m ready.”
She held out a hand. He took it, letting her pull him up off the floor. Once
he was standing, she didn’t let go. Instead, she led him down the hall to the
round room with all the doors. He should have known that’s where the
ritual would take place, but the logistics of it hadn’t really been on his mind
—only the outcome.
Inside, the stone firepit in the middle of the room was already lit. Pike,
Lark, and Atlas stood on three sides of it, facing the fire. Violet walked
Gavin forward, pulling them to a stop on the empty side. She squeezed his
hand once and let go.
Looking up, Gavin found Atlas staring back at him. Atlas shot him a little
smile and a wink. Lark and Pike both offered him nods when he looked
their way.
“Gavin,” Violet said, voice somehow deeper than he’d ever heard it. “Are
you ready to begin?”
He swallowed hard, stealing himself. They hadn’t told him the exact ritual
steps, only that it was easy and the only thing he’d really have to do is
accept the power that already lived within him. “I’m ready.”
Across the pit from him, Atlas moved to stand beside Lark. At the same
time, Violet went to the opposite side to stand beside Pike, leaving Gavin on
his own and an empty space directly across from him.
