Elina My heart pounds in my chest as I run through the dark woods illuminated only by the red moonlight. Dread fills my heart as we get closer and closer to Xavier’s home. Are they under attack? Who would attack them? I wonder, but I already have a sinking feeling in my stomach what today will be. I arrive through the clearing out of breath as Xavier and his younger self runs into an invisible barrier. Young Xavier growls loud as he tries to run into it, but he bounces back. A witches barrier, I note, these are used generally for witch meetings and counsels. Only witches can get in and out with ease. “Xavier, stop!” Young Elina screams, running to his side after his second attempt sends him flying into the woods. “Don’t touch me,” he shouts, brushing her off. “I’m trying to help. You can’t get through because it’s a witch's barrier; you need a witch to enter, so please take my hand.”She reaches out to him; he looks at her hand for a mo

Elina Fifteen minutes ago   “Hi, Elina” I look up at my younger self, her eyes pure white. I stare at her, confused. Why am I here? Can she see me? “You can see me?” “I did just say hi to you, so that would mean...” I frown; who is this little girl giving attitude? I mean, she’s me, but... “ you don’t have to be smart, “ I mumble. “You’re acting like it’s normal talking to yourself.” “I’m sure you’ve seen stranger things.” “Well yeah…wait, could you see me back there? Did you bring me here?” “I was the one who showed you the memory, and yes, I brought you here. The young version of yourself, however, was not me.” “Then who are you? Why are you people playing in my head?” I reply, frustrated and annoyed with everyone who thinks my mind is their own personal playground. “I am you; we are one.” I furrow my brows. “You said you weren’t the young me from the vision.” “I am

“We three were always the best of friends because we were all only a year apart, your father the eldest at sixteen at the time, I was fifteen, and Titus was fourteen. We use to do everything together, fishing, hunting running, and although we were all boys, we all accepted that your father would be the next Alpha of our pack. Our family, therefore, was a peaceful one until Titus brought Katerina home one day. The moment she met, your father fell in love, and as you know, in our pack, the Alpha mate isn’t chosen by faith but by his heart. They chose each other, but Titus was already in love with her. He never forgave your parents for what he thought was a betrayal by both.” I listen intently as he recalls the past. So that is what he meant when he said he came from what was his back in Elina’s mind, “The first red moon, the year you were born. He attacked, but he was alone, and your father bested him quickly. We had forgotten about his hatred, so we weren’t on guard and I was

  Elina I flip the pages of the tenth spell book today and groan as I once again find nothing useful. All locator spells need some possession of the person to be able to link to them. However, I have nothing of Katerina’s, and since Xavier hasn’t bothered to call or visit in the last two days, I can’t ask him even though I’m trying to help him locate his mother. He just brushed me off as if I was nothing to him, but from my memories, we really cared about each other. Even though it’s been a long time, why are my feelings coming back, but he’s still a cold-hearted wolf. Uh, let’s not think about him. If he can act like I don’t exist, then so can I.I’ll forget him and his stupid smirk and his stupid face. Ughhhhh, I scream in frustration. “Boys are so annoying,” I scream as I throw the book across the room. It stops mid-air and floats around for a bit before landing Iris. “That’s true. They do suck.” She agrees as she flips through the pages of the

  Elina My heart thumps in my chest as Xavier's lips touch mine. I should pull away; he’s annoying and confusing. One minute he hates me, and next, he’s trying to kiss me. I should reject him, but I can’t because I want to feel his lips against mine every time I look at him. I close my eyes, anticipating the moment his lips will crush down and mine. “Babe?” Her screeching voice comes crashing down. I pull back instantly as she walks up to us. What am I doing? He has a girlfriend. Even if I dislike her, I should respect their relationship regardless of Xavier and my past. “Kei..” He looks at her and then back at me as if he’s conflicted. “What are you doing? The movie’s about to start.” She replies sweetly while her eyes look like they could kill. I guess I would be mad too if I saw my boyfriend about to kiss someone. “Babe…” she calls again because Xavier is still holding on to my hand and looking at me. This time, however, he rel
