Loretta bit her lip and took a deep breath before she peered into the keyhole and slid the pick into the narrow opening. "You will open for me," she murmured.

Loretta knows how to pick a lock faster than you can say "juvenile delinquent". But the sixteen year old's world spirals out of control fast after she breaks into an annex of the British Museum, accidentally unleashes an arrogant, immortal genie, and winds up trapped with him inside the lamp.

The Djinni & The Royal by N_D_Brooke

Ginger haired girl smiled. "Eight, how nice to meet you." Her grin turned devious. He was frozen. The girl, had tricked him? He looked from the girl to Seven, laying broken in the floor. She sauntered over to him, her hips swaying with an almost seductive air. Power emanated from her as she stood on tip-toe to whisper in his ear, her lips brushing his earlobe. "Catch me if you can." Then she giggled and was gone. _________________________________________ The Djinni is a powerful being, capable of granting most any wish, for a price of course. You Angels are the guardians of humanity, dedicated to stopping magic, at the cost of anyone in the way. Known by only a number, they spend most of their lives dedicated to their cause. What happens when a naive girl wishes to be a princess and isn't happy when reality slaps her in the face? An angel with a dangerous obsession; an ex slave now one of the most powerful forces on Earth; and a lost girl who sold her soul for a delusion. -Updates Tuesdays and Thursdays- -MATURE THEMES- ® 2018 All Rights Reserved
