Chasing Magic
The Last Witch Coven Book 1
by Rachel Medhurst
Genre: Urban Fantasy, Paranormal Romance
An elemental witch with limited magic falls in love with a human. Standard really.
My story is a typical one. Girl meets boy, drama ensues, and the warlocks try to kill me. Okay, maybe not so typical. And yet, it’s on point. My whole life, I’ve been one of eight members left in the last witch coven. Cursed to continually revisit the earth until all eight of us unite with our soul match in one lifetime, we fight the warlocks in order to reawaken magic before the witches finally die out.
Antony is my hunky bodyguard, assigned to me by the last witch elder. When I’m kidnapped by the warlocks, he stops at nothing to find me, even though he’s in complete denial about our connection. Still, can’t blame a guy for freaking out when he finds out that he’s a witch, destined to be my soul match. Only time will tell if we’re able to fulfil our fate or will magic fade, along with my happiness?

EXCERPT
1
The dark descended as I
tripped over the paving slab, only just catching my balance. I hated being out
alone at night, but there was just something about walking around, unhindered
by those who had tried to trap me. It gave me a buzz.
My coven had tried to
warn me about being safe on the outside. The warlocks who promised to end our
existence were getting pretty close to winning. With only ten witches left in
the world, it wouldn’t take long for them to carry out their threat.
The scrape of
something on the ground behind me made me look over my shoulder. A shudder
travelled down my spine as the quiet street echoed every little sound. The
apartment I shared with a new friend was only a few roads away. Would I make it
in time?
If a warlock followed
me, I would have to get creative. As a witch, I was almost powerless. Yeah,
we’d been cursed a long time ago and there was barely any magic left, so the
reason for my existence was pretty clear. Bring magic back to earth or else the
witches would die out for good.
Fun, huh?
My footsteps sped up
when the meow of a cat made me jump, forcing adrenaline to pump through my
veins. Every single horror movie I’d ever watched flashed through my mind. And
yet, the fear was real.
“Please,” I muttered to myself. “Don’t prove them right.”
The footstep sounded
again. Propelling forward, I started to run, too terrified to stay cool. I
wasn’t the most athletic, which was an understatement, but I managed to bolt
down the street and into the next one within seconds.
Glancing over my
shoulder, I shuddered as my gaze tried to find a warlock lurking in the
shadows. There was nothing there, the streets were empty. Instead of slowing, I
pelted it the rest of the way back to my apartment, too scared to even stop for
fish and chips like I’d planned.
“Hey,” Kat, my flatmate, greeted me as I slammed the door shut
behind me. “What’s up?”
Shrugging, I smiled,
half dying as my breath huffed in and out. “Thought I heard someone behind me,
you know how it is.”
Kat was settled on the
sofa, remote in hand. “I hate when that happens.”
Unable to help myself,
I laughed as I waved a hand in dismissal and went into the bathroom, fully
intending to emerge myself in a hot bath for ten hours.
The bath filled
quickly, allowing me to submerge myself within minutes. Shivers easing, I
relaxed into the water and closed my eyes.
“Penny!”
The blurred vision of
Kat staring down at me made me jump. Pulling my head out of the water, I rubbed
a hand over my face. She gasped when bathwater streamed from my mouth, pouring
out of my lungs. My long brown hair stuck to my back, almost glued to my skin.
I whipped a strand away from my mouth as I sat up.
“What the hell? You looked dead. I thought you were dead…!”
I tried to cover my
nakedness, but Kat didn’t pay any attention.
“I can breathe underwater,” I said casually, climbing out of the
bath and wrapping a towel around myself.
“You can breathe underwater?”
EXCERPT 2
Something made my gaze
lift to the closed front door. A strong compulsion overtook me, so I followed
my instinct and ended up standing at the top of the townhouse steps, just
outside the door.
“How did you know I was here?”
Antony sat on the
bottom step, his arms resting on his thighs. I looked at the back of his head
as my heart played like a drumstick against my ribcage.
“I didn’t, something made me-”
He got up and spun
towards me. “I didn’t want to see you.”
I grabbed my chest as
pain exploded through me. “Then, why did you come?” I snapped back.
What was his problem?
Antony shook his head
and ran up the steps, stopping on the one just below me. I reached out and
rested my hand on his chest. His heartbeat was as rapid as mine, his muscular
frame unable to hide the thumping. He folded his fingers around mine and looked
into my eyes.
“You make me feel…” he whispered, tapping his chest with our
entwined hands.
“You make me-”
“Don’t.” He leant forward and rubbed his nose against mine. “When
I see you, a rush of emotion overtakes me, and I can’t even think.”
His lips were close to
mine. I wanted to lean forward and touch him with my tongue. It was a bizarre
urge, and yet, there it was. However, I couldn’t go round poking him with my
tongue, we had to talk.
“That’s how I feel, Antony. I want to date you. We can start
slow, work out this witch journey together.”
His eyes widened and
he started to pull back. Putting my arms around his neck, I tried to comfort
him. He took my hands and moved them away.
“This is crazy. It’s not real.”
“Why do you say that? Why are you fighting?”
Moving forward as he
backed down the steps, I halted when he put up a hand.
“Please don’t run from
me,” I whispered as his feet touched the pavement and he turned.
