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
The first thing we do is drop Cas off at the forest so he can run around with the other Howlers. Then Sebastian and I start making our way to the Coven’s mansion, where my family’s apartment is. Our mansion is unique. It’s vast and constantly expanding. It’s also odd with staircases that lead to nowhere, windows that never see light, strange paintings, and doors that open to nothing. Shadows swirl around the walls. The mansion is designed this way to confuse spirits that may make their way to the coven’s realm. It doesn’t happen often, but a few have snuck through before. We have reapers to handle those spirits. “This is your coven’s realm?” Sebastian questions as we make our way through the winding hallways. “Yes,” I reply nervously. Shit, what if he already hates it. “It seems interesting so far. This mansion alone is pretty fascinating. Is there a pattern to figuring out where to go because if not, how the hell do you figure out this maze?”I giggle. “I can’t believe you caught
We’ve been in the coven’s realm for almost a week now. Ever’s family is fantastic. They have welcomed me into their family, and for once, it’s nice to feel like I actually have a family. Ever and her brother are hilarious with their interactions. They love busting on each other, but they also care deeply about one another. Part of me wishes I had that type of relationship with Levi. Still, I know our family is very different from hers. It’s good her family is so different from mine. I also love the coven’s realm. Everly gave me a tour, and I could honestly enjoy living here. It’s right up my alley with weird vibes, gothic and victorian style, the training ground is impressive, and I’ve used it with Ever. Her brother, cousin, and Dad even joined us. Seeing Ever in her wolf form, which I learned is named Stella, was impressive. Stella is a fierce animal, but Kai’s wolf, on the hand, is intimidating as fuck. I was sure to stay clear of Shade. I knew he wouldn't hurt me, but fuck, tha
Things went so much better than expected with visiting Death. I can’t believe he wants us to help him run the underworld. Well, help Dad run the underworld. It’s no secret that Death has been grooming Dad to take over for him. Dad’s been resistant to the idea of fully taking over for Death. Secretly Dad enjoys running the underworld. He might not have liked it at first, but he likes it now. I think the reason he doesn’t want to fully take over full time is he would have to live there, and there is no way Mom would ever be comfortable in the underworld. Maybe there is a solution to that problem. After all, Dad can teleport using the shadows, but there has to be an easier way. Hopefully, Dad figures it out because I’m not raising my family in the underworld. Working there is one thing, but living there is something else entirely. That’s all in the future. Right now, we are saying goodbye to my family before we head back to the academy. Sebastian and I are eager to get this mission ov
I hated that I fell right into Levi’s trap. That asshole wanted me to transform. Ever protected me, but I hated that I couldn’t help her. I couldn’t fight alongside her. I was stuck being protected by her shadows while she struggled. I knew she was strong, and I could watch her through the shadows as she dodged Levi. She is skilled, but I could tell Levi was provoking Stella. Ever was trying to get Mina to break her cast, but the damn bitch wouldn’t give up. She held on longer than either of us thought as the cast was destroying her body. Mina would have rather died than dropped the cast. Levi was doing everything he could to distract Ever from her cast, but her resolve was stronger. However, the physical attacks were provoking Stella to shift. Ever did her best to control Stella, but in the end, Stella won and shifted, which caused Ever to drop her shadow barrier. The Moment the crystal ball's red light touched me, I knew it was over. Zane showed up at the last minute, so I at lea
