The witch among wolves: Cursed to crave you The Fallout
Cressida's povThe academy woke up angry the next morning.I felt it the moment I stepped out of Lucian's quarters. The corridors were crowded and the whispers were loud and the stares were sharp. Wolves turned away when I walked past and their voices dropped and their eyes followed me. The dining hall was worse. Every table was full and every face was turned toward me when I walked in.I kept my head up and my shoulders straight and my breathing steady.Raven was already at our usual table with Benita and Tasha. Her face was pale and her eyes were tired and her hands were wrapped around a cup of tea. Benita looked like she had not slept. Tasha was filing her nails and her expression was unreadable."Sit down," Raven said.I sat."You look terrible," Tasha said."I feel terrible.""The whole academy is talking about you.""I know.""Sha is telling everyone that you threatened her. That you used magic on her. That you are dangerous."I looked at Tasha and her silver eyes were sharp."S
The witch among wolves: Cursed to crave you The Breaking Point
Lucian's pov The council meeting was already a disaster before Tasha walked through the door.Elder Marlow had been speaking for twenty minutes and her voice was sharp and her patience was gone. Elder Thorn sat beside her with his broad face carved from stone. Elder Whitmore adjusted his spectacles and stared at me like I was a problem he had been trying to solve for weeks. Marcus Voss stood by the window and his arms were crossed and his jaw was tight."The border is not secure," Elder Marlow said. "The killer is still free. And your wolves are dying.""My wolves are doing everything they can.""Everything they can is not enough."I kept my voice steady. "Then tell me what you want me to do.""We want you to accept our help.""I do not need your help.""You need something. Because whatever you are doing is not working."The door opened and Tasha walked in. She did not knock and she did not apologize and she did not acknowledge the elders. Her silver braids were loose and her arms we
The witch among wolves: Cursed to crave you Crazy day
Note.This chapter is meant to be before "The confrontation"Cressida's pov The ride back to the academy was faster than the ride out.The dark swallowed the road and the headlights cut through the snow and the wind bit at my cheeks. Lucian was pressed against my back and his arms were around my waist and his chin was on my shoulder. He was warm and solid and his heartbeat was steady against my spine.I did not want to go back.The academy meant council meetings and border patrols and whispers in the corridors. It meant Sha and her sharp smiles and her cold eyes. It meant the killer and the bodies and the weight of everything pressing down on us.But the road meant freedom. The road meant the wind in my hair and the engine under my hands and the world falling away behind me. The road meant Lucian holding on like he trusted me to keep him safe.We reached the gates and the guards waved us through. Their faces were curious but they did not ask questions. No one asked questions when the
The witch among wolves: Cursed to crave you The Confrontation
Cressida's pov The dining hall was crowded and loud and I should have known better than to come here alone.Raven had a headache and Benita was studying and Tasha was somewhere in the library filing her nails and pretending to read. Ember was asleep in Lucian's quarters and Lucian was in a meeting with the council and I was hungry and tired of waiting. So I walked to the dining hall by myself and I got my food and I sat at an empty table near the window.The whispers started immediately.Not loud. Just soft and sharp and cutting. The kind of whispers that were meant to be overheard.There she is.The Alpha's pet.I heard she threatened Sha.I heard she bewitched him.I kept my eyes on my plate and my shoulders straight and my breathing steady. The food tasted like nothing and my hands were shaking and I pushed the food around with my fork and did not eat.The whispers stopped.The hall went quiet.I looked up.Sha Konstantinou was standing at the end of my table with her honey blonde
The witch among wolves: Cursed to crave you Crazy girl that he loves
Lucian's povI was in the office and the patrol reports were spread across my desk and my head was pounding like mad.The killer was still out there and the council was still pushing and the border was still vulnerable. Kade had left an hour ago and I had been staring at the same map for forty five minutes and nothing was making sense.Then I heard the engine.It was loud and low and rumbling and it did not belong anywhere near the academy. Wolves did not ride motorcycles. Not as a rule. The noise bothered their senses and the speed made them nervous and the machines themselves were too fragile for the mountain roads.But I knew that sound.I stood and walked to the window and looked down at the courtyard. Cressida was there and her dark hair was loose and her jacket was black and her boots were scuffed. She was sitting on her Harley. The Falcon Thunderstrike. The bike I had pulled from the wreckage and repaired without her knowing. The bike she had kissed like it was a lover.She was
The witch among wolves: Cursed to crave you The Alpha Gets Teased
Lucian's pov The training yard was loud and the wolves were restless and I could not focus.Kade had been watching me for forty five minutes and his expression was somewhere between amused and concerned. I had run the same drill three times and my head was not in it and my wolf was distracted and every time I closed my eyes I saw her face."You are useless today," Kade said."I am fine.""You are staring at the wall.""I am thinking.""You are thinking about her."I did not answer because he was right.Kade sheathed his blade and crossed his arms and leaned against the fence. "The whole academy knows, you know. About you and Cressida. About the kiss in the corridor."My jaw tightened. "The whole academy?""The whole academy." His voice was dry. "Wolves talk. Especially when the Alpha does something romantic in plain view of half the student body.""It was not romantic.""You kissed her hand. Then you kissed her mouth. Then you stood in the middle of the corridor and stared at each ot
