My nerves jump around as Levi gives his opening speech. Sebastian squeezes my hand, reassuring me. He’s slowly coming around to our soulmate bond. He’s at least more open to it, and right now, he is being a good soulmate. He’s encouraging me, and I know he is right. I can do this. At least I’m not doing this on my own. I’m doing a duet with my soulmate, and that is exciting. We get to show off together as I make my debut. We take our places, and the music starts. I keep my focus on Sebastian and drown out everyone else. I focus on him because it soothes my nerves. I pretend I’m with him rehearsing, and there aren’t hundreds of people watching us. We nailed our first performance, and I feel like I could do the second one with no problem. I quickly get changed into a new costume while the others do their songs. Sebastian and I try to look out for spirits, but being backstage, we struggle to see them. However, we both can sense them. There are at least fifty spirits here watching the
After Dad and the rest of the family leave, I head back to my room. I need a shower and to clean off all the makeup and hairspray. Sebastian heads to his room. I wish we weren’t going our own ways, but that’s how it’s always been. I don’t know if Sebastian is ready for the full effects of a relationship. I’m just glad he got along with my family and that we have been getting more physical. With any luck, we will have sex soon, and we can complete our soulmate bond by marking one another. I don’t want to push my luck, though. Sebastian is someone who clearly has never been in a relationship before, which means all the girls before me were just fuck buddies. I can live with that. Before I shower, I toss Cas a bone, so he has something to occupy him. He’s getting big, and soon, he will need to be taken out more often. When I return home, I will let him run around the woods with the other Howlers. With how fast he is growing, I’m not sure my room is big enough for him anymore. Hopefully
Opening my eyes, I realize I’m not in my room. There’s also someone in bed with me. Everly’s black and grey hair is sprawled over my arm and chest. I smile as I brush her wild hair from her face, so I can admire her. She’s beautiful, and she is mine. Last night was the best sex I’ve ever had and the most fun. I didn’t have to hold back with her. Usually, I have to hold back, afraid I’ll hurt whoever I’m with. However, I didn’t have to hold back with Everly, and I wasn’t scared of hurting her. She took everything I had to give like a good girl. I can’t believe I accepted the bond, and I’m willing to complete our soulmate bond. Maybe love doesn’t have to be toxic? Perhaps I’m lucky enough to have found someone who loves me for me and who can love me back. I hated watching my father pine for my mother while she went into another man's arms. A man who didn’t really love her. She neglected the man who did truly love her. I always feared love because of my parents' toxic love, but now I r
My suspicions about my brother being smitten with the lycan girl have been confirmed. Their performance was on fire, and their chemistry was clear beyond acting. I also noticed they have been spending more time together. In fact, they spent the entire day after the show together. I never thought I’d see the day that a girl would become more than a fuck toy for Sebastian. He’s always used girls for sex. At least with me, I tried to date them so they wouldn't feel used. Sebastian has never let a girl get close to him before, so I’m surprised he’s let the lycan girl get close. I’ll admit there is something about her. I was originally going to make her my next conquest and push Mina to the side. After all, we aren’t really dating. We are using each other. I’m using her for her magic to have revenge on my brother. Mina is using me to help gain her own revenge on her family because I can shoot her to stardom. Many of our students have gone off to do big and great things with their musical
I leave Levi’s office with unease. I don’t like that he confronted me about Everly so quickly. I expected it at some point, but not so soon, which means he’s been watching us. Did he agree to give Everly the role to see how I would react? I know I haven’t been great with hiding my interest in her, so was pushing us together for the concert a test?I don’t like it. I don’t like it one bit. I was so focused on Levi’s endgame with the spirits. I didn’t think he would be spying on Everly and me, let alone purposely push us together. No wonder he didn’t argue with Mr. Granger and me wanting to give Everly the part for the duet with me. He was fucking testing me, and I fell right into it. Everly and I tried to be discreet. I also tried to hide how I felt about her from the outside world, but I guess I wasn’t as good as I thought I was. Everly managed to bring down all my defenses without me realizing it. Levi took advantage of the situation. Damn him. I need to stop underestimating him. L
Death has summoned me. I hate when he summons me like a fucking servant, but I’m used to it by now. Besides, I need to give him the monthly reports since Cade isn’t fucking capable. He’s only gotten worse lately, and I don’t know what to fucking do about it since the asshole won’t talk to anyone. It’s getting to a point where coven members are noticing his absence. Rupert is far too young to take over, and I don’t think the kid wants to. Everly would be old enough to take over, but I’m not about to cut short her free time to make her the leader because my brother can’t handle his shit. Besides, she has her plate full with an important mission. Only my daughter would take on a simple mission, only for it to turn out to be something serious. Ever hasn’t given me many reports the progress she and Sebastian are making. Granted, it’s only been about a week since the concert, but I thought she would have told me something other than she and Sebastian completed the soulmate bond. I’m happ
I just got done training with Kai and his wolf, Shade. The two are a deadly pair. Everly might look like me and dress like me, but she is definitely her father's daughter, at least when it comes to her magic. Kai is strong with his magic, but he chooses to have a balance between his hybrid abilities where Ever tends to favor her witch side. Kai and Shade are a great team. Shade is an all black wolf and is fierce. If he wasn’t my son’s wolf, I’d be intimidated. Stella is a similar coat to Sasha and is honestly a giant puppy, although she has a tough side. Sasha is only a giant puppy when she is with Zane. Other than that, she is a vicious wolf. I can’t believe I’m about to pop soon. I’m ready for it. I forget how rough it is right before delivery. Everything is swollen, my back hurts, and I feel like there is a giant beach ball attached to me. I certainly didn’t think I would be having a third kid so late after my other two. Not that it matters. I’m still young and immortal. I didn’
Tonight is the night of our dreaded triple date. When Sebastian told me last week what Levi was trying to pull, I wasn’t happy. I was delighted to finally tell Avia and Zela that Sebastian and I are a couple. It feels wonderful to tell people that we are together. I was tired of hiding, but I understand why Sebastian was hesitant to make our relationship public. He was afraid of what Levi would do. Sebastian worries that Levi is going to use me against him. Sebastian was safer when I wasn’t around because now I’m his weakness. A weakness his enemy can use against him. It sucks, and it makes us both concerned. Levi already tried to get us alone, but Sebastian was able to counter him, this time at least. We have to be careful. We both are walking on eggshells around the academy. After tonight, we leave to head to the coven’s realm. My Mom is expecting my little sister any day now. She’s going a little earlier than expected, which is a good thing because Sebastian and I get a little br
