couldn’t. That frightened me. “You just don’t give up,” I mumbled.
    His jaw set. “Not when it comes to you. We are connected, whether you admit it or not. Our magic links us. Together, our power is endless.”
    It was the mention of o ur combined magic that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I wasn’t a power-hungry whore. Just the opposite. I didn’t want the kind of power I had at my fingertips. The things I could do scared the bejesus out of me. I thought that Lukas understood that. “Too much power isn’t necessarily a good thing,” I replied, feeling like the moment we had shared was gone.
    And then I got the dimple treatment. “But it can’t hurt, not if it can protect you. I heard what happened to you.”
    I arched a brow. There was no way he could have found what I am.
    “You were attacked by another witch,” he supplied, filling in the blank.
    “Oh right. That.” I shrugged.
    “ That is a big deal. You need to be able to defend yourself.” His movements got animated, becoming passionate about his opinions.
    Great. Now he sounded like Gavin. “It’s on my to -do-list,” I replied.
    He took my hand. “Let me help.”
    I angled my head, unsure. If he returned to my daytime life, it was sure to cause a ripple in the calm between Gavin and me. On the flip side, I didn’t want to hurt Lukas’s feelings either. Ugh, the dilemma that was my life. “Fine. But absolutely, positively, no fighting with Gavin.” Now I just had to get the same pledge from Gavin.
    Thick lashes framed his eyes on a face that looked younger than he was. “You drive a hard bargain, but if it means seeing you, then deal.”
    I could only hope this didn’t come back to bite me in the ass later.
    I woke up just a few minutes before my alarm blared through the room. Lunar was stretched out beside me, purring and watching me thoughtfully. Groaning, I flung my arms out on the bed beside me.
    What am I going to do?
    I took a breath, squinting from the glare of sun cutting through the curtains. Seeing Lukas hadn’t gone as I planned, not that I really had a plan. To think I thought I had it all figured out, sort of. Gavin was the one my heart chose, but according to Morgana, that meant Lukas would destroy me.
    This sucked.
    How could I choose?
    I was starting to wonder if Morgana was screwing with me. Maybe there wasn’t a prophecy attached to my powers. Maybe she wasn’t trying to help me at all. In my gut, I didn’t really believe that. Morgana was many things—including powerful, thorny, and a diva. I felt as if I were losing my ability to trust. Doubts seeped into my mind, scrambling my choices.
    One was my soul mate, the other my destroyer.
    No pressure.
    Yesterday , I had been so sure that Gavin was the one. Today, I wasn’t sure of anything, least of all my ability to make life-altering decisions.
    My stomach sank.
    Dragging myself out of bed, I showered and tossed on a pair of jeans and a cardigan. I dried my hair most of the way and threw it up into a messy bun. Lacking the energy for anything else, I forwent makeup. Dreamscaping, whether or not I was driving the boat, was exhausting. My body didn’t get the deep sleep it needed while I was participating in dream sharing.
    A quick glance in the mirror revealed that I needed to expend a little bit of magic and do something about the dark lines under my eyes. Thank God I had finally learned a spell or two to make myself look less like a haggard witch.
    Hardy-har.

 
     
    Chapter 5
     
    I was sitting in the lunchroom at one of the round tables with Sophie, Austin, and Tori, picking at the bread on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Somehow we ended up on the topics of palm reading, fortunetelling, and tarot cards. I think it was Sophie’s fault, but once the idea was brought up, Tori latched onto it.
    “I’ve always wanted to go,” Tori said, waving her fork in the air. A piece of macaroni dive-bombed the floor.
    “I heard about this lady just
