[Evander] She looks so charming when she's confused. “Wha...t on earth just happened?" She stares up at me, not taking my arm. "I neutralized a threat," I answered simply as we continued on our way downhill. "It's a good thing too, they almost had you in the back of that van. It would have been much harder to kick their asses if they had started to drive away." "I guess...." she still seems unsure. “I'd love to show you my favorite breakfast spot," I beam at her. "I know you're new to town and..."

[Gideon]  Axel has been pacing the kitchen since Evander went chasing after Rosalynd. It's sweet, but also mildly annoying. The wolf looks ready to bite one of us if we even approach him, and he is making the others anxious as they attempt to eat Marigold's delicious pancakes. "Can we make him leave," Juniper whispers under her breath. "He's kinda creeping me out." "No offense, Coven Leader," Jasper chimes in, "but I agree with my sister on this one." "Friends, we need to give our distraught friend a little grace and...

[Axel]I’m trying to remain calm as I wait for Rosalynd to descend those stairs. We need to get her out of Arcata, quickly, before a new batch of goons are sent to take her away. But I also need to just get away with her. I’ve missed her and my need to be with her, to kiss her, to roll around in her scent is so overpowering, it takes all of the little bit of willpower I have left to not race into that house and bang on the door. “How long does it take to say goodbye?” I murmur under my breath as I scroll through my phone messages. I’ve been away from home too long. I know my father is holding everything together while I take care of this business, but I hate leaving Rafe for this long. Since his mom left both of us, we are each other’s whole world. I have yet to introd

[Rosalynd] “I’m not a wolf,” I argue. “My wolf, Conner, disagrees,” Axel counters. “He says he’s seen her, your wolf. He also says she is beautiful, by the way.” He blushes. “I think we are both eager to meet her.” “Don’t you think if I had a wolf all this time I would have known about it?” I suggest. “I mean, your wolf has a whole personality of his own. I would have noticed if a part of me was arguing with me as much as Conner argues with you.” Axel's face goes blank in a way I have r

[Slone] I can hear them talking in the other room. The coven. They are talking about Rosalynd. Of course, they are. Why would they even take a moment to care about me? I guess I should be grateful that they finally let me step inside the coven house. After working for them for two years, gathering their supplies, and providing Gideon with energy using my body and my heart, only to find out that I am “not magical enough” to be a full coven member. My ability to see auras confirms that I’m at least part witch, but the blood is “so thin” that I can not even complete the manifestation spell. That’s why I was so excited when I did the spell for Rosalynd and it worked! My first thought was that maybe they were wrong, that maybe after they met Rosie they would see that I was the one who had power after all.
