Chapter Two Cassie wrung her hands together, questioning what she was doing here. She should never have listened to Hadrian when he turned up at the lab. She should have sent him away and never thought about the blood sample again. Her boss might not like her failing, but that was a much less dangerous option than sitting in wait for a man she didn't know if she could trust. Hadrian walked into the room with two other men in tow. Cassie's magic tingled in the very tips of her fingers, longing to get free. She was almost surprised she couldn't see her familiar already, this was normally a good indication that she was near. Not that she should be appearing. A witch's familiar was a private thing, and she'd only appear in front of Cassie, though legend said familiars also appeared in front
