Chapter 20
Samael cocks his head to one side, blinking at me, and I violently pull my blanket over my head when I spot a glimpse of his teeth. I'm so embarrassed! Why did I ask him to stay?
"Oh, no!" Samael is feigning confusion. I can hear the smile in his voice, and it makes me stop breathing. I hope staying hidden will save me from this awkward situation. "Wherever did she go?"
Suddenly, hands clamp down onto my shoulders, and I shriek, prompting laughter out of Samael.
"You know..." He pulls the blanket over my head, smiling when he finds me with a mad blush. Every second that his gaze stays on me, I feel shivers starting from my toes. Damn teenage nerves. "Hanging out with me isn't a good idea."
"Because you're my teacher?" I question.
Samael bites his lower lip, looks at me, and then opens his mouth to let out some steam. I find him incredibly sexy. "No, it's because I'm not a good person, Raven."
Hearing my name on his tongue feels so righ

Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 21
It's been two days since Lucy left me. I'm currently staring down at the empty mirror while Hayley talks about her dress for the Christmas ball. I understand it's rude to pretend I'm listening, but I miss Lucy. Excitement is buzzing in the entire atmosphere. People are laughing in the cafeteria. Girls are discussing their dresses; meanwhile, the guys are winking at the girls. I should join them and be happy, but it feels like the last piece of my heart shattered into breadcrumbs when Lucy left. I recognize he is a demon, but I thought of him as my home in a twisted way. He was the family I had left and the last connection to my mother. Hayden takes a seat by our table, throwing a bag of cookies in front of my eyes. "Since you ate the last cookies I made you so quickly, I baked you new ones this morning." Shivers wrack my body, and I'm suddenly overwhelmed by the memories of Lucy eating those cookies. My heart squeezes inside my chest. Tears wo
Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 22
After the rain has stopped pouring, I'm dragging my feet across the wet grass while keeping my gaze low. My jeans stick to my body like a second skin, and the leather jacket I'm wearing feels like a rag. I'm chilled to the bone but move a curl of black hair from my face and trek down a trail. The trees seem to dance with the silent wind, and then I hear voices—one belongs to my grandmother. Suspicions flash within me, and I scan my surroundings. My eyes settle for a thick oak tree, and I quickly hide behind it, pressing my back against the wet trunk. "Don't mention this to anyone!" My grandmother orders. "We don't want the students to be afraid when we have the Christmas ball coming up." I sneak a peek. My grandmother is walking in my direction, with two other teachers following her. They are transporting something on a stretcher—I suspect there is a dead body on it, but the black plastic draped over it prevents me from confirming this. One te
Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 23
I'm furious. We are in town trying to find me something to wear for the Christmas ball. Hayley is picking out dresses for me and bringing them to my changing booth. Hayley wants me to express grace and beauty, but I don't care about elegance—I want something dramatic Lucy will remember me by after I've burnt him to a crisp. "This will compliment your appearance, Raven. The color suits your hair and brings out the blue in your eyes." Hayley hands over a sapphire dress and smiles while I glare down at the fabric in my arms. I haven't slept. My dreams replay the day Lucy abandoned me—I see his face so many times a night my heart needs a break. "I will try it on." There is no motivation in my voice. My soul has fled my body and left me an empty shell. Hayley beams at me. "I will wait outside." I close the curtains and stare at myself in the mirror. My eyelids are swollen, and I can imagine what Lucy would have said if he sat on top of my s
Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 24
On the day of the Christmas ball, I wake up with an anxious pounding inside my chest. I sit up in my bed and hug my legs while glaring at the wall. It's my birthday—I should be excited, and instead, I'm terrified of the vision my grandmother had. I don't want to die. "But it's not like I can sit in my bed all day, either," I mumble to myself. I dress for breakfast. The mate-bond thing won't happen until later. I don't have to worry about looking into Blake or Hayden's eyes right now; the clock needs to hit eleven—the time I was born. Pouting, I pass the time by walking into the cafeteria. I pick out some sandwiches and eat them in silence. Hayley joins me, introduces me to her Fae friend Alina—it seems all Fae aren't bad. And then, we all eat together. Lucy is on my mind the entire day, along with thoughts and ideas on how life together with Hayden and Blake would be. Hayden would bake me cookies any time I asked for them. Meanwhile, sex with Blake wo
Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 25
"Mate," I repeat that word, standing proud as I gape up into Lucy's unreadable expression. "You're my mate."His eyes seem to dilate. I'm afraid when he parts his lips, but I know fear isn't real. It is a product of thoughts and worries I'm creating inside my mind. It's a choice, and I'm trying to be brave and not let that devastating emotion impede the thing I want—him."How is this even possible?" He closes his eyes as if to concentrate and think about the situation. His fingers reach to rub at his eyelids. "Demons aren't supposed to have mates."I peer up at his face, and this giddy emotion floats over me. It's strange thinking of Lucy and Samael as the same person. Lucy looked like a child inside of his mirror, and now here he stands as a grown-ass man.Lucy squints at me as I snicker."What do you find so funny?" He asks coldly.I smile. "It's just awkward. When you were only Lucy, I didn't think your grown-up form would look like
Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 26
Lucifer Raven rejected me, and now the room won't stop revolving. The presence of hostility in her eyes is unmistakable. Hayley, her friend, was murdered by my kind. But if I had let Raven stay inside the ballroom, then she would be the one lying on the floor. I understand her anger towards me. Raven believes we could have saved Hayley, but she doesn't realize that she can't defeat the demon who did this. Maybe I could, but I'm not a hero. I would choose to save Raven before anyone else inside this room. She is the only person who has ever been kind to me. I still remember when she called me her friend for the first time—I believe that was when she changed the future. It was when destiny tied our journeys together. I'm not a decent person. Demonic blood streaks in my veins, and I've done awful things, yet I don't want to reject her yet—I need to see if maybe there is a reason we are mates. "She is dead because of you!" Raven is holding
Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 27
RavenI'm standing inches away from Lucy's dragon form. Anger is still pulsating through me—I still believe Lucy did wrong by not telling me about his demon friends coming here. Yet, I also feel safe having a gigantic dragon as a bodyguard.I wouldn't want to share the same fate as Hayley. My heart is squeezing every second, and scenes of us laughing together are playing on replay inside my head. Hayley was like a sister to me, and these demons killed her.That knowledge makes me both angry and scared. Mad because she was too young to die and hadn't even met her mate and then frightened because I know what these people can do about anything.Lucy wouldn't betray me, right?I step closer to the dragon, hoping Lucy doesn't bear a grudge because I rejected him. Love might not bloom between us after what happened to Hayley. I'm too disappointed with him, hurt too, but I hope he doesn't hate me enough to let me die tonight."Lucifer, Lucife
Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 28
My head is pretty much in the clouds as I attempt to focus during class the next day. I'm supposed to be listening, learn how to craft potions with the other witches, but my mind keeps drifting off to Hayden. The poor guy cried himself to sleep and spent the night in my room without saying a word. When I woke up, Hayden was gone and had left a note that said: "My dad came to pick me up. I will spend some time with my family." I sigh and pretend I'm paying attention to class when Mrs. Phyllis glances at me. The delicate woman smiles upon seeing my attentive eyes. She then continues talking about different herbs to create love potions. New year's evening is coming up, but all my fellow witches want Valentine's day already. "It is hard to create a love potion, and in most cases, they don't work on the person drinking it—does anyone know why?" Mrs. Phyllis asks the class and looks around with her thick glasses. A witch, I think her name is Francesca, hold
