Moonlit Magic Chapter Fourteen
Rita The clatter of cutlery and student chatter filled the dining hall as Rita shuffled through the breakfast line, her movements sluggish. She barely registered the plate being handed to her until a cold finger tapped her wrist."Someone looks positively undead this morning," Zach purred, materializing beside her with unnatural speed. "And here I thought I was the vampire."Rita blinked slowly at him. "Are you stalking me now?"Zach placed a dramatic hand over his heart. "Merely concerned. Those shadows under your eyes could rival mine." His usual smirk faltered when she swayed slightly. "I'm serious, gorgeous. You look—""Like I haven't slept? Groundbreaking." Rita grabbed a coffee with both hands, the steam doing little to clear the fog in her mind. "Go bother someone else, Zach.""We can’t have you sick," he murmurs. When she glares, he adds with a hollow laugh: "Who’d laugh at my jokes?"Deidre appeared, her cornflower blue eyes narrowed to slits. "Shoo, fledgling. The adults ar
Moonlit Magic Chapter Thirteen
NathanNathan stood stiffly in front of his father’s mahogany desk, the scent of aged leather and ink thick in the air. The Manhattan skyline glittered through the floor-to-ceiling windows, but his father’s gaze was far sharper than any city lights."I’m hearing talk," his father said, voice low. "About you. About a witch."Nathan kept his expression neutral. "She’s a friend. And I’m taking witchcraft electives. My GPA is still perfect. I’m on track for business school."His father leaned forward, fingers steepled. "You think this is about grades?" A growl laced his words. "This is about focus. About duty."Nathan clenched his jaw."Witches have an allure, Nathan," his father continued, disdain dripping from the word. "A trick of magic. They weave spells without speaking them, pull men—and wolves—to their whims. You think your feelings are real? They’re not."Nathan’s pulse spiked. "You don’t know what you’re talking about.""I know more than you!" His father slammed a fist on the des
Moonlit Magic Chapter Twelve
Rita Rita adjusted the strap of her bag as she headed toward her dorm, the late afternoon sun casting long shadows across the courtyard. She was still riding the high of Gogo’s healing—her body light, her mind clear—when Derek fell into step beside her."You’re glowing," he remarked, his voice casual, but his eyes sharp. "That wasn’t just herbal tea that fixed you up."Rita tensed, Freda’s warning echoing in her mind. Information is power."Gogo’s remedies are strong," she said vaguely, keeping her pace even.Derek hummed, studying her sidelong. "Must be some powerful herbs. What did she use? Moonroot? Silverthorn?""A little of everything," Rita deflected, forcing a smile. "Witchcraft and home remedies, you know?"Derek’s gaze lingered, but he didn’t push further. "Well, I’m glad you’re feeling better. Library tonight? I found something you might like."Rita hesitated, then nodded. "Sure. After dinner."As they parted ways, she couldn’t shake the unease curling in her stomach.Natha
Moonlit Magic Chapter Eleven
Rita Rita’s head pounded as she trudged up the steps to her grandmother’s farmhouse. The weekend couldn’t have come soon enough—every bone in her body ached, her nose was raw from sneezing, and no amount of tea or human cold medicine had helped.Gogo took one look at her and tsked, her sharp eyes narrowing. "Sit," she commanded in Zulu, already moving toward her shelves of herbs.For the next hour, Rita watched in bleary fascination as her grandmother worked—crushing dried leaves with a mortar and pestle, boiling pungent roots, muttering under her breath. The kitchen smelled like earth and spice and something faintly electric.Finally, Gogo thrust a steaming cup into Rita’s hands. The liquid inside was murky and smelled like wet tree bark mixed with vinegar."Gogo, this is terrible," Rita groaned after the first sip, her face twisting.Her grandmother crossed her arms, one brow arched.Rita sighed and downed the rest, shuddering."Now," Gogo said, pointing to a bucket on the floor fi
Moonlit Magic Chapter Ten
Nathan Nathan clutched his phone, his father’s voice steady and grounding in his ear.“You are the future of this pack, Nathan. Your wolf may be restless, but your mind must remain clear.”The words were familiar—a mantra drilled into him since childhood. Duty. Control. Legacy.“I know, Dad,” Nathan murmured, his gaze drifting to the window, where the first light of dawn painted the sky.“Do you?” His father’s tone sharpened. “Because a wolf who forgets his purpose is no wolf at all.”Nathan exhaled, the weight of the words settling into his bones. “I won’t forget.”By the time he hung up, the restless energy that had plagued him for weeks had dulled to a quiet hum. His wolf, for once, was silent.Nathan strode into his leadership seminar with renewed focus. The lecture on pack dynamics and decision-making was second nature to him, and for the first time in weeks, his mind wasn’t wandering to Rita.Until she appeared in the hallway.“Hey,” she said, her smile like sunlight breaking t
Moonlit Magic Chapter Nine
Rita Two weeks of secret library sessions had sharpened Rita’s instincts—both magical and otherwise.Tonight, Derek’s questions had taken a strange turn."Ancestral magic is fascinating," he mused, flipping a page in a crumbling grimoire. "But imagine if you could channel the power of a living witch. Borrow their strength, amplify your own..."Rita’s fingers stilled on the book she was holding. "That sounds like blood magic."Derek waved a dismissive hand. "Not necessarily. There are other ways to form bonds between witches. Covens do it all the time.""Covens share power," Rita countered, careful to keep her voice neutral. "They don’t take it."Derek’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. "Semantics."A chill skittered down Rita’s spine. Freda’s warning echoed in her mind: "Male witches want power.""I should head out," she said abruptly, snapping the book shut. "It’s getting late."Derek didn’t try to stop her.The library’s main hall was eerily quiet. No Nathan at his usual table. No broa
