Andors View - Only on my third bottle of vodka, I was trying to drink away my insecurities. Ashina might reject our mate bond, and I was angry about it. There's no way I can live through a second rejection. I threw the empty vodka bottles at the wall. My heart was wallowing in self-pity. In the middle of transferring files, I caught the intoxicating scent of my mate. I tried to sound belligerent so I wouldn't have to deal with her anger. Then, I pretended to see apparitions that weren't there. I acted like I was talking to someone invisible. I pretended to pass out after whining about Ashina not loving me and me looking too hideous. I slammed my head down on the desk pretending to pass out. I didn't mean to cause my own injury when I hit my head on the desk. At this point, I expected Ashina to leave me alone in my misery, but she came over to me anyways. I peeked out to see why her footsteps were getting closer, then closed my eyes to not alert her. Ashina always surprises me, I

Cadma's point of view - "I love you, what is the big deal about a mate anyway? I bet the Gods and Goddesses put our names are in a Male jar and a Female, which the Gods pull the names out of. I can see a God say Look this name is Jack and that name is Jill. They are perfect together!" I watched Ashina break down in laughter at what I had said. She always thinks I am joking; I am not joking. I know how spunky she is, determined and stubborn. When she is stern her eyebrows knit together and then she is like a volcano boiling over. Akira laughs at my jokes; I mean really my jokes aren't the least bit funny. Through her laughter, Akira seems to have trouble replying, "Cadma, I'm pretty sure it's more than that. It's like the gods see us and somehow, they take a part of our soul with their wolf. A male and a female are created. This way, they are both the same soul, and only true love and perfection can be found when they are bonded. You're empty without that soulmate." Seeing Ashin

Margaret’s Point of View - I don't have enough patience to deal with this little brat. Using an old person's incontinence diaper, I'll dress her myself. Whenever she wants to act like a baby, I'll dress her up like one. I've got a binky in one hand and a T-shirt for an adult baby in the other. Glancing over at her, I watched that naked brat jump from the bed. I sneer, "NOT SO FAST!" and dress Ashina in the clothes I have. I added lace around the face of the baby's headwear. Ashina shrieks "STOP!" Then I growl at her, "Zip it!" Her mouth gets sealed with a zipper. Now there's no hassle. Until she gets dressed by herself and follows me around cleaning up the mess she made, she's my balloon. It's my control. Are you ready to go out into the forest with me so we can release those two idiots from the spell you put on them? "I'm going to drag you out like my own balloon if I don't get you to do that." Don't mess with me! I see Ashina's face turn red when she realizes she's stuck,

I know that I will be celebrating my birthday in a few days, so perhaps that is why I am so emotional right now. It feels as if my body chemistry is about to change once I turn eighteen. Something seems to be changing within me. It's hard for me to put into words what I'm feeling. Because I don't understand it myself, I get upset easily. I have tantrums like a child. Which is not my personality at all. The royal witch is preparing me for training, and I make sure to apologize to her. I learned she is not the witch of the Eastern Royal Kingdom; she is the ruler of all witches and warlocks worldwide. My mind is blown by the fact that she came specially to train me here. Since I rescued those two male idiots earlier in the day, I have yet to see either of them again, even though they both claim to be interested in me in a romantic sense. Honestly, I am glad they have made themselves invisible to me now, as it was becoming increasingly uncomfortable for me to see them. As crazy as the

Ashina - My mind suddenly dawned on me that I had another question to ask Margaret. I think I am going to refer to her as Lady Margaret from now on. My heart pounded and I jumped up, running after her into the pack house. The fact that she turned around slowly and raised her eyebrows at me when I approached, tells me she sensed my approach. Then I asked her, "Lady Margaret, could you please hold on a second, I have something to ask you." I watched her furrow her brows again as I said this to her. A few moments later, she unfurrowed her eyebrows and shook her head with a resignation unfurled look on her face. "In response to your highness's question, I would like to know what you plan on asking?" I watched as Margaret smirked at how she referenced me. Touché' I think to myself, she is actually sort of fun. "How would I use magic to turn those two jealous idiots into green jealous idiots? Only temporarily?" I see her smile just slightly; I think I would like to party with this
