Piper

Pure panic settled into Piper’s soul as she pushed her legs harder than before. Everything ached but she couldn’t stop. The city hummed around her, but she avoided the crowds because exposing magic would only make things worse for her. She glanced around and saw two witches, one man and one woman, gaining some distance. Her panic grew as a cold sweat had her clothes clinging to her skin.

After everything she did for her coven, a few had turned on her. Making her the damn scape goat, thinking she’d be an easy target but no way in hell would Piper give in so easily. Turn this way. A voice filtered in, and she didn’t second guess it, turning down the alley way and pushed open the first set of doors.

Her feet hit something, sending her flying through the air. Her knees slammed into the ground. Magic pulsed through her body and out into the space around her. Pain shocked up her spine, but she was ready to shove it down and keep going until she lifted her head.

Four guys stood around a table, two were leaning forward as if they were caught in the middle of an argument. They all had casual clothes on them, standing tall and strong. So fucking hot. The words flitted through her mind, but she didn’t have time to focus on these attractive men.

Her hands pressed into the ground as the echo of footsteps caught her attention. The panic mixed with her magic, and she let out a scream before she realized what was happening. Before the witch trackers could reach her, a shimmer from a magic barrier rose between the door and all around in the walls. The door still hung open, but no one could get in or out right now.

Stupid move trapping yourself with these human men. She’d have to erase their memories after she gained control of her shredded magic.

All four guys ran toward her, worry filling their features. Each man was so freaking handsome, almost supernaturally attractive. Piper gulped realizing these men, weren’t human after all! She couldn’t believe her luck. But would they be helpful, or just wait for the barrier to disappear and then toss her ass out on the streets? She didn’t know, but she couldn’t get up. Her hands were stuck to the ground as magic continued to pulse from her body, draining her of energy and the will to keep her eyes open.

Help me, she managed to push out as her eyes locked with one of them, his brown eyes stared right through her and they flashed red for a hot second. Usually she was extra cautious of vampires but something about this one, calmed her. She didn’t have time nor much strength to examine what was happening to her around a vampire she didn’t know.

You need to breathe. The one who’s eyes just flashed red zipped in front of her and gently placed his hands on her face. He had to be a vampire with short, styled brown locks; even running over to her, there wasn’t a hair out of place. His cool touch settled some of her nerves, and she sucked in a few breaths.

But if she passed out, the barrier would fall and she’d be dragged back to the coven. The thought brought back the panic back in strong waves making her heart race like fluttering wings.

Her cursed magic was a threat to everyone magical, including the one holding her face.

What’s your name? His voice came out sturdy with hints of worry. A hint of an accent she couldn’t place gave her a slight pause. Maybe he is willing to help me out.

Piper. Piper Turner.

Piper eyed each of them, they seemed familiar, almost like a breath of fresh air. No, I’m being stupid. Why would they risk everything to help me? The thought sent a fresh wave of fear down her spine like an icy finger dragging against each bone. I’m probably going to die tonight. Her heart ached as more magic sunk into the ground.

I can help. One of the guys, the one with shaggy dark brown locks and a strong jaw line, placed his hand on her back and magic flowed from his fingers into her body, mixing with her own. With his skin against hers, she sensed his magic and something else under his human form. He leaned forward, and she locked her gaze with his piercing light brown eyes.

Her breath caught in her throat because staring into those eyes spoke to more than just wanting to be friendly and helpful. She almost saw a hint of desire resting behind the worry.

Now, Piper, you need to release; the barrier is up, and it won’t go away until we release it. His other hand grabbed her chin so she couldn’t look away. Tears streamed down her face because she didn’t know exactly what to do. She couldn’t hold these guys back if they turned on her, and she’d feel like a damn fool if she gave in and the guy was lying to her.

Her heart rate needs to slow, another guy growled, and Piper pulled her chin from the witchy shifter and focused on this one, sensing the dragon under the surface. He had super short hair, black in color, and wide shoulders. No doubt in her mind that there wasn’t an ounce of fat under his pristine clothes.

Then she looked at the final one, with long black hair that was just pressed down by his fingers. His blue eyes studied Piper, and he rubbed his hands against his hips. His tanned skin and eyes gave off a Hispanic vibe.

With a quick glance at all four men, she realized she was surrounded by a
