No. It is far worse than that. And if all of this wasn't enough to deal with… I had eight men in my life. Yes. Eight.

I wasn't like the other witches in my father's coven. I had a chaotic storm growing inside of me, and the moment these mages stepped into the picture, it began to escape. The perfect image of my life was shattered.
