Lucian's pov

My boots pounded against the stone floor. My wounds screamed so loud and my side burned. But then again, I didn't care. Nothing mattered except getting back to her.

  • 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

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Kitchen Chaos

The frost was still there and the cold was still there and the fear was still there. But the joy was there too. The joy of creating something and the joy of being with friends and the joy of forgetting. The warmth of the ovens seeped into my bones and the laughter of my friends filled the air and for a moment everything felt almost normal.Raven was beside me and her dark curls were wild and her face was covered in flour and her voice was bright.

She was decorating cookies with intense focus and her creations were beautiful. Tasha was

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Sparring Match

    Lucian's pov The training yard was cold and the snow was packed and the torches were burning and the wolves were watching.I stood at the center of the circle with my blade in my hand and my chest heaving and my eyes sharp. The frost was still there and the cold was still there and the fear was still there. But the focus was there too. The focus that came from the fight and the rhythm and the burn. My breath fogged in the cold air and the torchlight flickered across the packed snow and the shadows danced along the stone walls.Kade was across from me and his blade was drawn and his eyes were steady. He had been sparring with me for hours and he was not holding back and I was grateful for it. His chest was heaving and his brow was slick with sweat and his grip on his blade was white-knuckled."Ready?" he asked."Ready."He lunged and I moved and the steel clashed and the sparks flew. The sound echoed off the walls and the wolves cheered and the energy was electric. The impact vibrated

  • The Alpha's Secret Witch    The Breaking Point

The anger that had been building for weeks and the frustration that had been growing for months and the rage that was finally breaking free.Cressida was standing in the corner and her arms were crossed and her face was pale and her eyes were bright. She had been watching me pace and her silence was heavy and her presence was sharp."Say something," she said."Say what?""Say anything.""I do not know what to say.""You always know what to say.""Not this time."She stepped closer and her voice was sharp. "You have been avoiding me.""I have not been avoiding you.""You have.""I have not.""You have."I stopped pacing and turned to face her and my hands were shaki

    Cressida's pov The bathroom was warm and the steam was thick and the water was hot and the world outside was cold.I had been soaking for what felt like hours and the heat was seeping into my bones and the tension was easing from my shoulders and the fear was fading from my chest. The frost was still there and the cold was still there and the magic was still there. But the water was warm and the steam was thick and the peace was deep.My hair was wet and it clung to my neck and my shoulders and my skin was flushed from the heat. The water was clear and the bubbles were soft and the scent of lavender and something sweet filled the air.

Almost free.The door opened and I did not hear it.I heard nothing except the water and the steam and the silence. My eyes were closed and my head was back a

    Cressida's pov The room was warm and the fire was crackling and the candles were flickering and the world outside was cold.We were gathered on the floor with blankets and pillows and snacks and the laughter was bright and the joy was real. Raven was sprawled on the rug with her dark curls wild and her eyes bright and her voice loud. Benita was sitting cross-legged with her brown eyes soft and her smile warm and her hands wrapped around a cup of tea. Tasha was leaning against the bed with her silver braids loose and her arms crossed and her expression flat.I was in the middle of them 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 warmth of being together.The blankets were soft and the pillows were plush and the snacks were endless.
