The Dark Mage's Assistant

He is a dark mage. Dangerous, calculating, rude. He is cold and won’t allow closeness. He hates me. Once, I barged into his life. Once, I violated his peace. Once, I filled his thoughts with myself. We can’t stand each other, but evil forces are closing in on the academy of magic—and the lives of hundreds of people depend on our cooperation. There is no choice. I will obey you, Professor Carter. I’ll try to make you love me.
