"Raven, what is taking you so long?"

My grandmother's voice got me picking up the mirror in a rush. Seeing my father frozen hurts me in a way I'm not ready for, so I lock my eyes on the ground while sprinting past him.

"Sorry," I apologize with a grimace. "I was just shocked to see Lucy."

Surprise flickers in my grandmother's eyes. "He let you call him Lucy?"

I nod, and she smiles, satisfied with my answer.

"Why don't you head inside the portal, dear? I will be right with you as soon as I'm finished here."

"Okay..." I walk for the portal but stop myself from entering. "I wish you didn't have to take away his memories."

"It's for his safety."

"I know..." I mumble.

My grandmother seems troubled, and I notice color draining from her face as she glances at my father. "Removing memories from someone you love is never easy, and if you aren't careful, those memories will come rushing towards you."

My heart squeezes inside my chest, yet I press on without turning back. Then, quickly, I enter the portal and gasp when I turn into what reminds me of pixie dust.

I look down at my hand, blinking multiple times. I'm being shredded from existence, turning into minor pieces. First, my hands turn to dust, and then I'm sucked into a vortex.

I expect to travel through a tunnel or space; instead, I'm directly thrown into the other dimension. I scream as I fall headfirst onto soft fabric. Thankfully, I land without a scratch.

"Ouch! That hurt!" I curse, daring to open my eyes.

The trees of the forest have been replaced with banners, and I seem to be in a room with the ceiling so far away from me it's as if I've been teleported into a realm for giants. 

Luckily, I fell headfirst into something soft, and a gasp gets stuck in my throat when I push up on my arms—I'm lying on top of a guy!

He smells delicious, like some addicting shower gel. Honestly, I want to keep sniffing him, touch him everywhere, but I realize that would be freaky. Not to mention what perverted people do.

"Oh!" I talk, cheeks burning with embarrassment. "I'm sorry-..."

I forget what I was about to say mid-sentence. The guy grunts in response and lifts his head to glare at me, but I'm too busy staring down at what I'm touching.

Dear lord!

The angry guy is half-naked, wearing nothing more than a pair of black sweatpants over his sweaty, glistening skin!

He must have been working out before I hit him like a comet. Taut muscles covered by sweat contract under the palms of my hands, and I sit up, mortified about where I was touching mere moments ago.

"Did you try to kill me just now?" The guy is mumbling. "I swear you can't even workout at this school before weird shit happens... Now girls are falling from the sky..."

I'm too shocked to focus on his words. I've never touched a guy's naked skin before, and now I've felt up a carved eight-pack rippling with brawn without permission!

Wait!

Oh-my-god!

I'm a pervert!

My heart pounds—thought with all the adrenaline and nerves racing through me, it feels more like I'm taking direct punches to my chest.

"Where the fuck did you come from?" The guy is massaging his temples as if suffering from a headache.

"Uh..." My brain has chosen the best time to go on vacation.

The guy sits up, and I notice his hair is darker than black, longer and combed up, and his eyes are this rich shade of honeycomb—he is gorgeous.

He takes me in for a few seconds, entirely unphased. "Who are you?"

"I'm -... Uh..."

The hot guy with the killer abs looks at me like I've grown two heads.

There is a burst of sudden laughter inside my head. 'You're a real smooth talker.' Lucy sounds like he is having the time of his life. 'I can't believe how easy you lost your cool. Do men always have this effect on you?'

I glare down at my hands. "Shut up, Lucy!"

"And who are you talking to?" The hot guy sounds confused, and I lift my chin to look at him, gasping at him when he picks up Lucy's mirror.

Shock settles into his features as he looks at who must be Lucy, and then he drops the mirror—I catch it in the last second.

"Hey!" I glare at the guy, angry at him but relieved that I saved Lucy at the last minute. "Be careful; this thing is ancient!"

The guy stares at me. "Why do you keep a demon locked up inside a mirror? They are dangerous! What if it escapes?"

I roll my eyes. "Lucy can't escape without me speaking the words to release him; he is harmless right now."

"Harmless?" The guy snorts, and then his eyes widen with what looks like a sudden realization. "Wait a minute..." His gaze roams all over me. "Pale skin, raven hair, and a demon as a pet—you must be the principal's granddaughter!"

The principal? I thought my grandmother was an ordinary Herbologist teacher, someone who specialized in herbology. She loves nature and always kept strange fungi at home.

As if having read my private thoughts, Lucy clears his throat. 'Your grandmother needs to have a chat with you. Also, since you just saved my life, I owe to tell you that this guy right here stinks like a dog—he must be a werewolf.'

"I'm Raven Archibald," I tell him stoutly. "Margaret Broomer is my grandmother."

"So then I was right?" He smirks, and my heart does this somersault.

"I didn't know she was the principal," I admit. "Regardless, it's a pleasure to meet you." I reach out my hand for him to shake. "Who are you?"

He stares down at my hand with smoldering eyes and then lifts himself from the floor, brushing off his knees.

"I'm Blake Christian, and I don't shake hands with nerds that can't control their powers—I don't want to blow up like your school."

Lucy growls. 'It seems he knows about you already.'

I can tell Blake had meant to hurt me, humiliate me to the point of submission. But I'm not a coward.

I stand up and challenge his cruel smile with one of my own; this seems to confuse him.

"Oh, so you've heard about me already?" I nod my head without waiting for his answer. "Not bad, but you're mistaken about something."

"And what is that?"

There is a burning fire within me. "I wouldn't blow you up if you became my friend, Blake." I tap his chest with a smug smile, and what I'm hoping are treacherous eyes. "But I wouldn't hesitate to burn my enemy down to the ground, so think twice about making me your victim, okay?"

Blake's jaw drops to the ground, and I snort at his calculating eyes, seeing me in a new light—my work here is done.

"Think about it, Blake." I turn around to leave Blake alone, satisfied by his reaction. "It would be a shame to blow up such a pretty little head."

Inside my skull, Lucy is laughing, whistling loudly. 'Watch out—the dog got a boner now!'

  • Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 59

    Finale Lucy The day Raven died, I lost a part of myself. My heart shattered to pieces seeing her turn into ashes, and when the wind took her away from me, I learned the true meaning of grief. There wasn't a piece left of Raven to bury, and neither was there a piece of her to save, no clothes or necklace. Raven's grandmother kept her things, which in my opinion, she didn't deserve, considering the way she treated her granddaughter at the end, but who listens to a demon? The school agreed her grandmother could take everything, while I was left with only the memory of my fantastic mate. Life is unfair. "Earth to Lucy—aren't you going to join us for a toast?" I turn around, smiling faintly at Blake. The guy is like a fine wine, only turning more handsome as he grows older. Eighteen years have passed since Raven sacrificed herself, but Blake doesn't look old. My lips form a pout. I wish I had gotten to see Raven grow older.

  • Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 58

    Raven Lilith is circling me like a vulture. "Do you consider yourself strong enough to take on a demon?" I narrow my eyes, focusing on her glowing hands. Her dark magic is oozing in the air and making my skin crawl. Lucy and I trained before we arrived, but I doubt I can defeat Lilith. Still, I got to try since there isn't a knight in shining armor to save me. I gather energy, making fire take over my hands as I follow the amused demon with wary eyes. "I've never tried fighting one before." "Well," Lilith smiles. "You better win this battle, Raven, or I will cast darkness upon this entire world. Demons will reign, and humans will be our slaves. But don't worry—I send you a postcard after I've killed you." I glare at the demon. "You talk too much." "Oh, excuse me—I didn't realize you were waiting for the fucking party to begin!" Lilith laughs and lunges at me. Her nails are long, and I try to step out of the way not to b

  • Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 57

    RavenLightning is crackling along my skin, zapping and engulfing my entire arm before I aim the gathered energy at the shadows approaching us. One of them looks like a giant fly—Beelzebub, and the other, animalistic one with three heads, must be Asmodeus.My eyes narrow. I've never seen Asmodeus in his proper form, but my bond with Lucy is so strong I somehow know it's him without even asking to confirm my suspicions.Asmodeus is horrendous, a creature with the middle face of an older man and a cow and sheep as the two others. His body is a lion, with multiple limbs of different creatures that don't seem to belong. I repress a shudder, disgusted by him.'It seems more people are coming over to play,' Lucy comments before his scales light up in red. 'Perhaps it's time to take my proper form for this fight. I need my A-game.'"You mean you're not at your strongest in the dragon one?" I ask, gasping in disbelief. "This is the battle of our life

  • Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 56

    Raven Lucy cries the moment the shark-like creature opens its jaw to dig its sharp teeth into his scales. Flying becomes challenging for the dragon, and we are all knocked off his back. "No-no-no!" I scream. "I don't know how to fly!" Hayden snorts a laugh. "Then you better learn!" "Stop joking and help me instead!" I yell at the smug bastard, who doesn't look bothered by the situation. His blonde hair is fanning around his head, and his expression is calm. "Well, if you insist." In the corner of my eye, I see Blake shape-shift into a wolf to land on his paws while Hayden grabs me. I'm pulled to his chest, but I'm done content yet. I glare at the vampire accusingly, causing Hayden to roll his eyes. "What a warm welcome..." Hayden mutters as we land on tall grass. I slip down his chest and turn around to witness Lucy screech at the monster whale. They are dwarfing the trees. "Where did that monster even come from?" I ask

  • Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 55

    Raven The clouds are grey and ominous underneath us. Lucy is in his dragon form, flying above them while our entire group is on his back, freezing in the harsh weather. Hayden is shuddering behind me, and I peek over my shoulder, smiling faintly at Blake's concerned expression. He is sitting behind the vampire, taller and broader, without a sign of suffering in the cold. I've heard werewolves are always warm, but it might be a rumor. Without meeting my eyes, Blake grumbles. "I didn't think vampires could freeze, and here you are, shivering like crazy." Blake glances down at Hayden, who pauses at his words. Hayden's arms are crossed over his chest, hands resting on his shoulders as he absorbs the other man. Shock is visible over his features like he never expected the grumpy werewolf to care about him. "I was born as a vampire, not one of those who turned—it is a tremendous difference. My heart is beating, there is blood pumping in my veins, an

  • Magic Academy: Finding My Mate   Chapter 54

    RavenI've spent two days trying to conjure ice. Lucy is an outstanding teacher, but we are running out of time. Perhaps I was never destined to control the element of water? Whatever. The four of us are heading for the Fae castle, the place where Daisy lives with her dying human mother, and we plan to stop her from summoning Lilith while the war is waging."I'm so sore," Hayden complains, leaning his head against Blake's shoulder.I glance up at the two, expecting Blake to move his arm, but to my surprise, he stays in place. A smile tugs at my lips. Hayden might not be Blake's mate chosen by the moon goddess, yet the two of them have gotten rather cozy after their training sessions."I can't believe you're the one complaining after throwing me around like I'm a rag doll—vampires are crazy strong.""I'm not any vampire," Hayden peers up at Blake with a confident smile playing over his lips. "I happen to be their charming prince."My in
