Cressida's pov

The 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.

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    Silence...silence... silence...

    Cressida's pov The dormitory room was cold and the fire had burned low and the candles were flickering and the shadows were long.I sat on the edge of my bed with my knees pulled to my chest and my arms wrapped around myself and my eyes fixed on the wall. The frost was still there and the cold was still there and the fear was still there. But the sadness was there too. The sadness that had been building for weeks and the loneliness that had been growing for months and the weight that was finally breaking me. The walls felt like they were closing in and the ceiling felt like it was pressing down and the air felt like it was too thin to breathe.I had been sitting here for hours and the tears had dried on my cheeks and the ache in my chest had settled into something dull and heavy. The message in the kitchen kept replaying in my mind and the words carved into the ice kept echoing in my skull.The winter is coming. And so are we.They were already inside. The witches were already inside

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Sparring Grounds

    Cressida's pov The training hall was vast and the ceilings were high and the walls were lined with weapons and the floor was marked with sparring circles.I had never been in this part of the academy before and the energy was different and the air was thick with the smell of sweat and steel and something electric. The torches burned bright and the shadows danced and the wolves were gathered in clusters. Their voices were low and their eyes were sharp and their anticipation was palpable. The frost was still there and the cold was still there and the fear was still there. But the fire was there too. The fire that burned in my chest and the fire that fueled my fight.Raven was beside me and her dark curls were wild and her eyes were bright and her voice was low."This is intense," she said."This is intense," I said."This is terrifying," Benita said."This is necessary," Tasha said."Same thing," we all said together.I looked at the sparring circles and the wolves who were already fig

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Elemental Theory Debate

    Cressida's pov The classroom was warm and the candles were bright and the air was thick with the smell of old parchment and ancient magic.I had been looking forward to this class all week and the anticipation was building and the excitement was growing and the nerves were real. Professor Verena stood at the front of the room with her silver hair gleaming and her robes flowing and her presence commanding. The symbols on the walls were glowing and the runes on the floor were pulsing and the constellations on the ceiling were shifting."Welcome back," she said. "Today, we will be putting theory into practice."The class murmured and the energy shifted and the curiosity grew."We will be working with the element of water. Each of you will attempt to manipulate a small amount of water using your magic. You will feel the flow. You will control the movement. You will become one with the element."She walked to the center of the room and her robes brushed the floor and her eyes scanned the

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Movie Night

    Cressida's pov The common room was dark and the fire was crackling and the candles were flickering and the blankets were piled high.I had never been to a movie night before and the anticipation was building and the excitement was growing and the joy was real. Raven had organized everything and her dark curls were wild and her eyes were bright and her voice was loud. Benita had brought the snacks and her brown eyes were soft and her smile was warm. Tasha had brought the attitude and her silver braids were loose and her arms were crossed and her expression was flat. The blankets were soft and the pillows were plush and the snacks were endless. Raven had raided the kitchen and Benita had brought tea and Tasha had contributed nothing but her presence and her sharp commentary.I was in the middle of it all and the frost was still there and the cold was still there and the fear was still there. But the warmth was there too. The warmth of the fire and the warmth of the friends and the wa

The desks were arranged in a semicircle and the windows were tall and the view was vast and the world outside was white and cold.I sat in the front row with my notebook open and my pen ready and my heart pounding. The frost was still there and the cold was still there and the fear was still there. But the curiosity was there too. The curiosity of what this class would bring and the curiosity of who would be in it and the curiosity of what I would learn.The door opened and Professor Verena walked in.She was tall and slender and her hair was silver and her eyes were bright and her presence was commanding.

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Dormitory Brawl

    Lucian's pov The corridors were crowded and the noise was loud and the energy was tense.I had been walking through the academy when I heard the shouting. It was coming from the boys' dormitory and the voices were sharp and the words were angry and the sounds of crashing furniture echoed off the walls. I quickened my pace and my boots were loud on the stone and my presence was heavy. The torches flickered and the tapestries moved and the wolves stepped aside when they saw me coming.Kade appeared at my side and his face was pale and his eyes were dark and his voice was low. He had been running and his breath was ragged and his hands were shaking."Alpha," he said. "We have a problem.""What kind of problem?""The kind that involves fists and furniture. The kind that involves blood and broken bones. The kind that involves the entire boys' dormitory."I rounded the corner and the scene was chaos.The common room was destroyed and the furniture was overturned and the windows were cracke
