Chapter 12

Leah diligently worked on perfecting her craft. She practiced light spells like those of lighting candles with her intention of bringing on a gentle breeze. She was even able to make it snow for a short while, but she was careful to keep it only to her relevant location. Leah had learned to pull on her earth element, as she focussed her intent on making a plant bloom out of only a tiny seed. She was also able to command the creeper in the greenhouse to extend itself and entwine itself around a stick planted firmly in the ground. Leah was learning fast and that pleased Amber. She, however, had a bad feeling that something ominous was about to happen, but she just couldn’t put her finger on what it was. “I am very proud of your progress so far,” beamed Amber as she sat having some herbal tea with Leah during her break, “but there is still much for you to master in order to keep yourself safe.” “I must admit that I’m really enjoying bonding with my different elements, Mom. Who kne

Chapter 13

Emerald couldn’t believe that she had stooped so low. How could she have been willing to turn to the dark arts to get what she wanted? It was something that she had never done before and something that she’d promised herself never to do. She sat in her office at her desk and contemplated her actions. She leaned onto her desk, resting on her elbows with her hands in the shape of a steeple, leaning her forehead on them. “What have I done,” she whispered to herself, “what have I become.” Emerald had never been a vengeful person. Yes, she’d kept tabs on Leah, but that was only intended to keep abreast as to how her powers were progressing. She’d never meant her any harm, but she also couldn’t allow her powers to become too strong. She needed both Abigail and Leah to be on equal footing. One should never be stronger than the other, should this happen then things could spiral out of control. Abigail entered the room and asked her mother if everything was ok. She’d never seen her look s

Chapter 14

Birchwood had many hidden gems. A small cafe called All Things Brunch and a flower shop called Dewdrop, just to name a few. Leah and Caleb met up at Dark Roast, the local coffee shop, where they liked to meet every now and then just to catch up on how the other one was doing. Leah took a slow walk to Dark Roast and arrived after Caleb, who had already booked a table for them to sit at. She entered the coffee shop, the welcoming smell of coffee assaulting her nostrils, and headed straight for their table. Caleb was busy looking at the menu and only noticed her arrival when he saw movement in his peripheral vision. “Hey, Leah, you took your sweet time getting here,” joked Caleb who loved to get a reaction out of her. “All good things come to those who wait,” teased Leah as she pulled out her chair and sat down. “What’s with the sunglasses?” Asked Caleb, “it's not that bright outside.” He noticed that Leah had been wearing them more often now. “It's to hide my different eyes,”

Chapter 15

Leah lay on her stomach on her bed. Her legs were bent at the knees and she slowly moved them up and down. Her grimoire lay open in front of her and her pens were spread out on the bed above it, as she wrote in her grimoire and adorned it with sigils and drawings. This was one of Leah’s happiest things to do and she spent a lot of time adding items to her grimoire. She hoped that it would one day be as full as her mom’s was. Leah was busy concentrating on an intricate drawing when her mom appeared at her door. “What are you up to?” Asked her mom, even though she knew what Leah was busy doing. “I’m working on my grimoire, Mom. I just love filling up the pages with spells and all things witchy.” Leah had a smile on her face that could light up a room. Amber loved the fact that Leah was spending so much time with her grimoire as it would one day become an extension of her, holding much power and guidance. “I’m happy to see that you are spending time bonding with your grimoire, but w

Chapter 16

Leah and Caleb entered Silver Stardust for their shift. Both were excited to see what the day would bring. As there were no customers in the store yet, Caleb went straight over to the werewolf section to see if any new books had been added. To his disappointment, there weren’t any. Amber noticed Caleb hovering in the section and went over to him. “I see that you’ve gone straight to your usual spot,” teased Amber, seeing the sadness on his face. “I have a new shipment of books arriving this afternoon. You can help me pack them out if you like and at the same time see if there is anything in there that will pique your interest.” Caleb’s eyes lit up and a huge smile crossed his dimpled cheeks. “I’d love to help. You know that I’m always on the hunt for any book on werewolves. Let’s hope there’s one in the box.” “Then it's settled then. I’ll let you know as soon as they get here.” Amber couldn’t help but smile at Caleb’s excitement. She knew how much it meant to him to be able to

Chapter 17

Abigail sat at her desk, deep in thought as she wrote in her grimoire. Notes of all of her experiences since becoming a fully-fledged witch. Each training session was carefully jotted down. Without meaning to, she started thinking about the girl in the scrying bowl. The girl who looked just like her, but for subtle differences. Green eyes instead of blue, straight hair instead of her wavy locks. She knew deep down in her heart that the girl staring back at her wasn’t herself, but how could that be? Her mother had assured her that it was her. But had she lied? Was she perhaps covering up something? Abigail closed her eyes, trying to make sense of it all. Coming up short. She was so caught up in her own thoughts that she didn’t even notice the papers swirling above her grimoire. Without knowing it she had used her powers and caused her papers to rise up from her desk. Her powers were growing stronger by the day now and she was alarmed to see the floating papers when she opened up her

Chapter 9

Leah had no idea just how powerful it could be for a Raven to be following her. She was also unaware that Silden had targeted her mother, something that Amber would keep to herself. Leah was still angered by the fact that her one eye had turned blue, something she knew she’d never get over. Something that didn’t make her feel special at all. A change that jaded the remembrance of her wonderful ceremony. Amber knew that the first thing that she needed to teach Leah would be to protect herself against the attack of another witch. Amber could tell that Silden wasn’t extremely powerful, but Leah was an open target who needed to be shown how to do protection spells to keep her from harm. “Your first lesson starts tomorrow,” said Amber as she walked Caleb and Leah home. “We need to get started on harnessing your powers sooner rather than later. There is no time to be wasted for you are now an open target and need to learn to protect yourself against other witches.” Amber didn’t want to fr

Chapter 18

Caleb had learned much from Seth. His lessons were invaluable and rigorous. They had spent much time sparing in both their human and wolf forms.When it came time for Seth to leave, he promised to be there for Caleb, should he have any more questions or need further assistance with his training. Caleb trusted Seth and remembered his warning to be hyper-aware of any other wolves prowling around him. One of his training sessions taught him how to sense the smell of another wolf, so he was aware of what to look out for.Caleb was sad to see Seth go, and Leah could tell as they walked together to their shift at the store.“Seth has been so helpful and vital to my learning about being a wolf,” mentioned Caleb, as he looked down as they walked. “I’m almost afraid to walk this walk alone.”“You’ll be fine. Just remember all that he has taught you and everything else will come naturally.” Leah was trying her best to cheer Caleb up but knew that he still had doubts about his ability to go thi

Chapter 19

Amber’s concern for both Caleb and Leah forced her to reach out to Seth. A foreboding feeling nagged in the back of her mind. Seth answered his phone on the second ring, seeing Amber’s number on the caller ID caused him to act quickly, fearing that something was wrong. “Hi, Amber,” answered Seth, a questioning tone to his voice. “Hi, Seth. Sorry for disturbing you but we have a situation on our hands that needs our urgent attention.” Seth could hear from Amber’s voice that something was amiss and his heart rate increased. “What has happened? Is everything ok with Caleb?” Seth knew that Amber would only call if it was something important to do with Caleb. She had promised him to keep an eye out for any danger. “A stranger from another pack has been following him around. He said that it’s the same man from the clearing when you two were training.” Amber almost shook as she spoke. “Yes, I remember him. I warned Caleb to stay away from him. Has something happened?” Amber could hear

Chapter 20

Leah’s concern for Caleb grew by the day. Knowing that he was in danger almost killed her. If only she could find a way of protecting him. Some sort of spell to keep him safe. Leah spent hours pouring over her and her mom’s grimoires, looking for answers. “Is there something more that I can do for Caleb?” She asked her mom as she joined her at the dining room table. “There is surely some sort of spell that we can use for protection.” Amber agreed with Leah and immediately pulled out the special grimoire, the one from the cabinet. Unbeknownst to Leah, Amber had also been searching for some way of protecting both her and Caleb. Leah’s eyes shone in wonderment when she saw the open grimoire. It was even more magnificent than she thought it would be. She could feel the power thrumming through the pages as her mother paged one after the next. Leah would have given anything to just touch it, but she had been warned by her mom and she would never go against her wishes. “I might have fou
