Three weeks into the semester, I had developed a routine.

Mornings began with coffee and textbook reading at the library. My roommates were three other girls who were okay, I guess.

Linda was an engineering major who stayed up past midnight, her desk lamp always the last one on.

Taylor, a med student, woke before everyone else, her alarm cutting through the room at 5 a.m. sharp.

And then there was Kira…

I still didn’t know what she studied, but she sang. A lot. Softly sometimes, like a h

    I walked out uncertain.All done? For now, I guess. Aunt, is it hard to meet with a witch?A witch?She looked at me, her eyes furrowed in a thoughtful expression.“Christy… why are you asking about witches?”I hesitated for a moment, then shrugged lightly. “It’s just something I came across in the library.” “A book?” she asked.I nodded. “About Moon Calling. It seems they perform better Moon Callings, they are more attuned to nature so they might have an explanation.”Her steps slowed just a little. “Oh,” she said quietly.I glanced at her. “Is it strange to want to talk to witches?”“No,” she replied, shaking her head. “Not strange. Just… not something people talk about often.”That only made me more curious.“So, is it hard to meet a witch?” I asked.She let out a small breath, like she was considering how to answer.“Not exactly hard,” she said. “But not very common either.”“So it’s possible?”She gave a small nod. “Yes. Graham might know one or two. And Adaira… her pack ha

    "Surprise!!!" I yelled opening the door with a flourish. "No surprise there, Christy. We see you nearly every week." Such dampening words. "Don't be a downer Nolan." My good cousin Andy still missed me at least. "I'm surprised Christy."Bending down a little, I patted her brown hair. "Thank you, Andy." She walked to my side and we walked together. "I didn't think you'd come this early. What happened?" "I wanted to surprise you." "Mom!" Nolan called out. I turned to her too "Aunt Leila." "Christy you're early today. But that's good. Very good. Remember I told you we have a werewolf community in Oslow here. Well, I forgot to mention that we have one of the biggest libraries on werewolves." "I'll introduce you to more werewolves in Oslow too. We have books on other supernatural beings too, vampires, witches, fae, elves, and so many other beings in their different realms. We are meeting today. Would you like to come?" "Yes thank you, Aunt." "Mom can we come too?" Al

Softly sometimes, like a hum under her breath, and other times loud enough to fill the entire room.I didn’t mind. She was good.It made the space feel… lively.I usually had breakfast at a diner or read at the library, absorbing information about memory formation, cognitive development, and the biological bases of behavior.Classes filled my afternoons. Introduction to Psychology on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Research Methods on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each lecture added new layers to my understanding, new questi

    I was too stunned to speak so I settled on a whisper. "I got in" "What?" Andy leaned forward. "What did you say?""I got in." Louder this time, my voice cracking on the words. "I got in!""You got in!" Andy shrieked, launching herself across the table so forcefully that we both nearly toppled over. Her arms wrapped around me, squeezing tight enough to bruise, and I didn't care because I was laughing and crying at the same time and nothing had ever felt so good."I knew you would," Alexis said, appearing beside us with a knowing smile. "Psychology suits you, Christy. You're a good listener."My aunt wiped tears from her eyes when I showed her the full email. My uncle clapped me on the shoulder and said, "Welcome to the next chapter of your life."That night, I called home."Mom, I'm going to study psychology."Her pause lasted only a heartbeat, but I felt it. "That's wonderful, honey. I'm so proud of you.""Thanks, Mom.""Your father and I always knew you'd find your path." There

    The week after meeting Rowan at the café, I made my decision.Psychology.Something about our conversation had unlocked a door I hadn't known was closed. The way he'd spoken about the mind, about emotions and motivations, had stirred something in me. Not excitement exactly, but curiosity. A quiet hunger to understand.And maybe, if I were being honest with myself, a desire to understand what had happened to me. Why Alec felt nothing? Why the bond had broken so completely on his end while remaining whole on mine.If I couldn't fix what was broken, perhaps I could at least learn why it had shattered.I submitted my application on a Tuesday morning, my finger hovering over the submit button for what felt like an eternity. The cursor blinked at me, patient and unaware of the war raging inside my chest. One click. That's all it would take. One click to set my future in motion, to commit to a path that felt equal parts terrifying and necessary.My wolf paced restlessly beneath my skin. She

    The sleep I had after all the fun was divine. Deep. Uninterrupted. When the dawn filtered through the curtains and warmed my face, I woke with something new settling inside me.Purpose.This weekend, I would decide what I wanted to study. No more drifting. No more postponing.I slipped out of bed and followed the familiar sounds of movement downstairs.“Aunt, Uncle, good morning,” I greeted, bowing slightly out of habit. My aunt’s smile was radiant. Werewolves didn’t usually struggle with mornings, but she embraced them like an old friend. “You look good this morning, Christy.”“Thank you, Aunt. Let me help with that.” I reached for the spices she had placed on the tray. She handed me a tray of plucked vegetables to chop instead. “Take this. Nolan’s got the spices covered.” As if summoned by name, Nolan walked in, sleeves already rolled up, unwrapping seasoning packets and peeling garlic cloves with practiced efficiency.Soon the kitchen filled with the rich scent of curry and
