When we sit back down , Tristan glances at my plate and rowns . ' What ? " I ask , defensive . ' You didn't take any meat .

" He points to his own plate - a mountain of bacon , ham , and sausage . All hree of them have loaded up on protein . ' I'm a vegetarian , " I say , cutting into my toast and eggs . ' Seriously ? " Siennan stares at me like I've grown a second head . She spears a sausage , biting into it with exaggerated relish . Yeah . Seriously . " Tristan just smirks . He picks up a strip of crispy bacon , snapping it in half . Snap . The sound is loud , violent , and delicious . Why is this such a big deal ? " I ask , annoyed .

Now that you've shifted , you're not going to last long on toast and beans , " Tristan says . " Our wolves need meat . It's not a lifestyle choice anymore . It's survival . " I want to argue , but the smell of that bacon is overwhelming . It's not just food ; it's fuel . I stare at his mouth as he chews , practically salivating . ' It's not natural for our kind to refuse meat , " Jax says quietly , studying me . " Not eating it will slowly kill us .

" " Are you sure you're not adopted ? " The question hangs in the air . My stomach drops . " If I was adopted , they would have told me , " I say . But the doubt is already there . Are they really my parents ? Did they lie ? [ ax shrugs . " You're a shifter . They're human . The math doesn't add up . " I don't want it to be true , but now that he's said it , I feel stupid . The mismatched eyes .

" Try it , " he dares . " You might like it . " stare at the meat . A large part of me yearns to pick it up , to tear into it . Do it , the voice from last night whispers in my head . Feed . Jo , I think back , gripping my fork . slide the plate away instead . What are we going to tell my parents ? " I ask . " And what about Cleo ? " The thought of lying to them makes my chest tighten .

But they're right - I can't go back like this . Not when I'm a ticking time bomb . The last thing I need is to wolf out and hurt someone I love . The witches are handling it , " Jax says , cutting straight to the chase . " They'll fabricate a cover story . You just need to lay low until they're done . " With Marking Me ? hapter 7 ' Okay . " I nod , resigned . " And in the meantime ?" ' Like I said , you're our responsibility now . " Jax leans back , " I take my role as Alpha seriously . Everyone under my watch is protected . You're safe here . I promise . " " Thanks .

" Instinctively , I look at Tristan . He's glowering at me . Just like he did at the party . " What ? " I snap , fed up with the mood swings . He nods at my plate . " You're not eating . " ' I'm not hungry . " ' You shifted for the first time last night . You slept in the woods . " He leans forward , staring me down with a challenge in his eyes . " You need fuel . " It's not a suggestion . It's an order . My stomach roars in response , betraying me . ' Fine , " I hiss . He nods , looking irritatingly pleased . " But I'm not touching the bacon .

" ' Outside , " Jax says the second forks are down . " Time to test your affinity . " ' Affinity ? " ' Earth magic , " he explains as he leads us into the backyard . " Shifters draw power from the earth . The stronger the wolf , the stronger the pull . " He points to the grass . " Sit . " I sit cross - legged , feeling ridiculous . Siennan stands nearby , arms crossed , that permanent smirk etched on her face . She's waiting for a show . Or a failure . Tristan stands nearby , stoic , unreadable . Chapter 7 Jax sits opposite me , creating a triangle with Tristan and Siennan flanking us .

" Close your eyes , " Jax instructs . " Connect with the earth . " I shut my eyes . I focus on the dirt , the grass , the roots . I wait for a spark . A vibration . Anything . But there's nothing . Just cold , hard ground . " Open your eyes , " Jax says softly . I look at Tristan first . Our eyes lock , and my breath hitches . But I remember Siennan is watching us like a hawk , so I tear my gaze away to Jax . He's holding a handful of dirt like it's something holy . " Cup your hands , " he says . I mirror him , creating a small bowl with my palms . He pours half the dirt into my hands .

It's gritty , cool . " Watch . " Jax pulls his hands back . The dirt in his palms begins to tremble . Then , it defies gravity . It rises two inches into the air , forming a perfect sphere . It swirls , particles dancing in a miniature storm . A faint green glow surrounds it , catching the sunlight - magic , raw and alive . My mouth parts in awe . " Your turn , " he says , letting the dirt drop back into his palm . " Levitate it . " " It's basic stuff , " Siennan scoffs , her voice dripping with boredom . I narrow my eyes at her , then look down at the pile of dirt in my hands .

It doesn't look magical . It looks like mud waiting to happen . Thin Takan Ainha's Obsessed With Marking Me ?! Chapter 7 Float , I think . Nothing . I push harder . I grit my teeth , willing the magic to flow . Move . " Connect with the earth below you , " Jax coaches . " Pull the energy up . Release it into your hands . " I try . I really do . I strain until a headache blooms behind my eyes . The dirt sits there . Mocking me . " Do you feel it ? " Jax asks . I frown , staring at the lifeless pile of dirt . " No , " I admit , unable to meet Siennan's eyes . I failed .

रे Jax lets the sphere of dirt drop from his hands . He dusts his palms off , casually signaling the end of the test . And the end of my potential . He eyes me up and down . Sizing me up . But this time , it's not with curiosity . It's with calculation . Like I'm a broken tool he needs to find a use for . ' Come inside , " he says . We sit back at the table . The silence is deafening . ' I'll place you with an Omega family , " Jax states , his tone purely business . " They'll find you work . Without magic , you can't train as a Guardian . Which means you serve .

" " You want me to be a servant ? " I ask , disbelief coloring my voice . ) ( 0 ) admin
