"Alix! Reggy!" Adalyn's voice came from outside the great hall entrance. She had been waiting for us alongside Lenda and the pack.Adrika and Ace looked ready to jump into battle, while the rest of the group wore different expressions ranging from fear, and worry to horror.When we got to the Hall entrance, two things happened at once. The scorpion-wolves arrived and a swirling dark hole appeared before us, a red figure flew from within it before it closed back.We all stared at the figure in shock. It was a tall woman with wild red hair and flawless skin but when she turned to face us, I gasped. Her face was a reflection of mine. The only difference between us was our eyes. My eyes were gray whereas hers were all black, with no whites. A dark witch."What the hell?" Alix muttered."Hello daughter," the dark witch greeted in a voice that sounded sweet as honey but spiced with venom. I frowned and stepped back, Alix moved to stand in front of me and his sister was clinging to my arm

"Your magic is a part of you as I'm sure you would know by now. You don't need to think too hard about it. Now, what I want you to do is create monsters in your head, including every quality you want them to have, then summon them into being." Karissa teaching me magic with patience wasn't something I had expected. It was scaring me because it could mean that she planned to keep me here for a long time. We had been practicing magic for three days now outside the building where I was being held captive and I still couldn't create monsters like I had done before In school subconsciously. Even with that, she did not hurt me or get angry at me. And that terrified me.I had decided to do as she wanted, only because I intended to use it against her. For everything she did, she would pay."Do you need a whistle to begin or do you want to continue staring at me?" Karissa asked sarcastically with her eyebrow raised.Taking in deep breaths, I attempted to do as she instructed. I wasn't an ima

"That's it, girl. I guess I was wrong. We will keep up the training and see if you can wield the other two elements, which are the most powerful of the four." Karissa told me, both of us staring at my handiwork. A bubble of water was floating before us in a huge circle. Floating around it were pieces of earth. I had successfully and surprisingly controlled earth and water handily, but not fire and air after three days of intense training. It was still more than I had thought I was capable of, so I was happy. I wasn't an anomaly after all. I've spent a total of seven days with Karissa and learned a lot more than I had in all my years at the coven community. But I had a question I needed an answer to, so I asked. "Why did you bind my powers to only unlock after my sixteenth birthday?"She took her gaze from my magic to me. Her black eyes seemed to reach deep into my soul. "So you wouldn't be overwhelmed by your powers. Having such great powers at a young age could have affected you, p

"Mister Wilkins was right. Karissa would be back." Alix growled, his hand fisted.I had narrated every detail to them, whereas I had purposely kept out some parts of the truth while narrating everything to the principal. I didn't tell him about my vampire, demon, and witch heritage. I wasn't ready to divulge the truth to the world just yet.Adalyn and Alix had been stunned and speechless when I told them about my demon side. After we tried to guess how a person could have demon genes in them to no avail, we dropped the subject.Adalyn looked very worried, "If Karissa planned to take over the three worlds, then we have to stop her. But I worry about something, what if she could achieve her goal without you? Could that be why she stole that artifact from the school?"Alix cussed under his breath, drawing my attention to him. That was a first. But fuck, if Adalyn was right, then we were in trouble. But there were loopholes in that theory."Why then did she go through all that length to k

"My roommate was called back home after Karissa's attack. His parents withdrew him from the school for his safety. So we have the room to ourselves," Alix explained when we sneaked into his dorm room. Everywhere was completely quiet now but the lights were still on. I had three hours to canoodle and be naughty.I grinned up at Alix when he quietly shut the door. His eyes sparkled with interest at what I was up to. "Well then, Mr. Alix, I guess we have to make good use of this wonderful opportunity and spend less time talking."He chuckled softly but groaned in pleasure when I caressed his chest. Encouraged by his reaction, I traced my hand with my lips but stopped. Frustrated by the clothing barrier, I unbuttoned his cotton shirt and slipped it down his arms which immediately wrapped themselves around my waist.Moving back a little from his arms, I unzipped his pants and dropped them, revealing striped black and white boxers. The huge bulge in his boxers made me satisfied and grinne
