Lucian's pov

I was mad as hell.

Not the kind of mad that made you punch walls or break things. This was deeper. Uglier. The kind of mad that settled into your bones and poisoned everything it touched. I hated this. Hated the way I had shouted at her. Hated the way she had looked at me; tears in her eyes, betrayal on her face. Hated the way Niko Volkov had stood there, watching and waiting.

Most of all, I hated myself.

Because I knew why I had shouted. Because I knew why my wolf was snarling. Be

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Jealous Alpha

    Cressida's pov The dining hall was loud and the candles were bright and the air smelled like roasted meat and fresh bread.I had not been here in days. Not since the fire. Not since Sha locked me in that burning room and stood outside laughing. The walls felt the same and the tables were the same and the faces were the same. But everything felt different. I felt different. And the wolves were looking at me like I was something they had not seen before.Raven was beside me and her dark curls were wild and her eyes were bright. Benita was on my other side and her brown eyes were soft and her smile was warm. Tasha was across from me and her silver braids were loose and her expression was unreadable."Everyone is staring," I said."Everyone is staring," Raven agreed."Why?""Because you survived a fire. Because you are the Alpha's girlfriend. Because you are the most interesting thing that has happened to this academy in years.""That is not reassuring.""It is honest."I picked up my fo

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Walk

    Lucian's pov The corridor was cold and the torches flickered and my boots echoed on the stone.I had been on patrol for hours and my body was tired and my mind was racing. The killer was still out there and the border was still vulnerable and the council was still breathing down my neck. But all I could think about was her. Cressida. The fire. The smoke. The way she had collapsed in my arms and the way her body had gone still.I needed to see her.I needed to hold her.I needed to know that she was real and alive and okay.The infirmary door was open and the candles were lit and the room was warm. She was sitting up in bed with her dark hair loose and her face pale and her eyes bright. Her friends were gathered around her and their voices were low and their faces were tired.She looked up when I walked in and her smile was like the sun."Lucian.""Cressida."I crossed the room and pulled her into my arms and held her tight. Her body was warm and her hands were shaking and her face pr

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The New Kind Of Normal

    Cressida's pov Something was different.I felt it the moment I woke up. The air was the same and the room was the same and the candles were the same. But my body was different. My skin was different. My magic was different. Everything was different and I did not know why.I sat up and the blanket fell to my waist and my hands were pale and my nails were blue. The frost was gone but the cold was still there. I could feel it. Waiting. Pulsing. Alive.I pressed my hand to my chest and my heart was pounding and my breath was shallow."Easy," Raven said.I looked up and she was sitting beside my bed and her dark curls were wild and her eyes were tired."Raven.""Hi.""How long was I out?""Three days."I stared at her and my voice was weak. "Three days?""Three days."I shook my head and my hair fell across my face. "I feel different.""Different how?""I do not know. Just different."Raven reached for my hand and her fingers were warm and her grip was firm. "You were in a fire. You almos

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    Chasing the killer

    Lucian's pov The morning came slow and the light was gray and Cressida was still sleeping.I had not left her side since she woke and I did not plan to leave anytime soon. The fire was out and Sha was locked up and the academy was quiet. But the killer was still out there and the border was still vulnerable and the council was still breathing down my neck.I sat beside her bed and watched her sleep. Her dark hair was spread across the pillow and her face was peaceful and her breathing was steady. The color had returned to her cheeks and the blue had faded from her lips. She looked alive. She looked whole. She looked like she was going to be okay.I reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Her skin was warm and her breath was soft and her hand was curled around the blanket."Sleep," I whispered. "Rest. I will be here when you wake."She did not stir.The door opened and Kade walked in.His face was pale and his eyes were dark and his jaw was tight. He crossed the room a

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    Waking up

    Cressida's povMy eyes opened and the world was wrong.The ceiling was white and the walls were stone and the air smelled like herbs and smoke and something that made my chest ache. I blinked and the light was too bright and my head was pounding and my body was heavy. My hands were cold and my feet were cold and my heart was pounding.I tried to sit up and my body screamed."Easy," a voice said. "Take it easy."I turned my head and Lucian was there. His face was pale and his eyes were red and his hands were shaking. He looked like he had not slept in days and his hair was a mess and his shirt was rumpled."Lucian.""I am here.""What happened?""The fire. The dressing room. Sha locked you in and set it on fire."I closed my eyes and the memories came. The flames and the smoke and the heat. The ice and the cold and the fear. The voices outside the door and the laughter and the words.Let me know if you'll survive the real fire.I opened my eyes and my voice was flat. "She tried to kill

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Ritual

    Lucian's pov The corridor was cold and the torches flickered and I could not stand still.I paced from one end of the hall to the other and my boots were loud on the stone and my hands were shaking and my chest was tight. The door to the infirmary was closed and the candles inside were bright and the voices were low. Madame Voss was in there with Cressida and she was performing the ritual and I was out here and I could not breathe.I pressed my hand to the door and the wood was cold and my fingers were shaking."Please," I whispered. "Please let her be okay."No one answered.I paced again and my wolf was restless and my curse was pulsing and my mind was racing. The ritual was dangerous. Voss had said it could kill her. But she was already dying. She was already slipping away and I could not let that happen.I thought about Cressida and her dark hair and her dark eyes and her smile that made my chest ache. I thought about the way she said my name and the way she held my hand and the

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    Finally, an apology

    Lucian's pov The corridor had never felt so long.Cressida's hand was still in mine, her fingers cold and trembling, but she didn't pull away. That was something. That was everything. I led her past the torches, past the tapestries, past the windows that overlooked the frozen gardens. I didn't kno

Every second of every hour of the day since Lucian had walked past me like I was a stranger. Like we h

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    Anything for her.

    Lucian's povThe day started badly and got worse from there.My wolf was restless, pacing beneath my skin, whining about something I couldn't hear. The curse pulsed in my chest like a second heartbeat.And somewhere in the academy, Cressida Ashcroft was probably doing something that would give me a

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    I can't pretend to burn

    Cressida's povI was starting to fit in.Not in the way I'd hoped. Back when I first arrived, all I wanted was to be invisible. Blend in. Keep my head down and my mouth shut. Let the wolves forget I even existed.That dream died the moment I sprouted ice wings and flash-froze a tower.So now I was
