Abilene Danvers is the twin sister to Caleb. The women in the covenant draw their magic from the four elements. The nature of their magic doesn't age them. The men in the covenant have a magic that will slowly drain their life if they overuse. O...
"So, do you really think your father will tell you anything useful?" Dakota questioned as Tyler parked his hummer in front of the old colony house.
"I don't know," Abilene responded as the four friends climbed out of the hummer and began walking the path to the front door, "Covenant issues, yes. Bonding, no."
"Well, you know I always have your back, but your dad scares the shit out of me so I'm gonna head downstairs," Dakota whispered as they entered the house. "I'm with her," Tyler decided before hurrying after Dakota.
"Traitors," Abilene hissed before turning to look at Reid, "Are you abandoning me too?"

"You mean when you were fornicating in the sacred circle," Gorman stated.
"Gorman!" "Seriously?" Both Abilene and Reid exclaimed at the same time.
Dropping her head into her hands Abilene massaged the headache that was forming, "We just want to try and ascertain our bonding will work," she said tiredly.
