And Then There Were Four novel Chapter 371

One may have thought my mind was in the gutter, but it wasn't. I enjoyed Trixie's company even though she was energetic at times and often annoyed others around her. To me, I found it comforting to be around her.

Maybe the mate bond pulled me closer to her, or maybe it was just because she was a nice girl and our conversations were usually entertaining.

Taking a moment to consider what I offered her, she smiled, nodding her head with her hands clasped behind her back. "Sure, I mean, from what I heard, you suck at magic."

Laughter escaped me at her words, and though at one point in time I would have been pissed by what she said, I wasn't. She had a point, and in all honesty, my magic was nowhere as strong as my sisters.

"Well, maybe with your tutoring, I won't suck."

As we walked up the steps to the building Cassie and I stayed in, I carried on the same casual conversation I had with her before. From magic spells to summoning objects, she filled me in on everything going on and also what I was doing wrong.

"No, you're not supposed to do that. You need to take deep breaths before releasing…"

"Is that right?" I asked her as we stepped into my room. Her mischievous eyes rolled as she shoved me a little and began to let her eyes scan my room, taking in every inch of what I had around that gave way to who I was.

"You have so much stuff," she murmured, letting her fingers dance along the photos on the wall and the items on my dresser. Since being here, I had been able to get someone under Odin to acquire a few more things from my home, including family photos and sentimental items.

All things Cassie had no idea I had gotten, seeing as she was being a bitch to me.

"Yeah, I had someone collect some things for me from my house," I replied, averting my eyes due to the guilt slowly forming thinking about Cassie.

"Your sister doesn't have any photos or anything," Trixie murmured as she turned to me. "You had these brought recently?"
