MagnusI screamed Astrid's name before reality struck my memory again. I shouldn't tell her it was me if I wanted to break free from the spell, so I held my breath after she had spun to give me a frown. From her expression, it was obvious she didn't want anything to do with the older man before her, and I was crippled to tell her it was me, Magnus.She had just confessed her feelings to Gaius, thinking it was me. I was contained by a mix of excitement and fear, the excitement that she finally confessed her feelings for me, but I was also afraid I might not be able to get my body and my life back if nobody found me in my desperation in the older man's skin.Meredith was not here, so I had to help myself. Astrid could have tried to help, but she didn't know I needed help. "Common Astrid. You should sense that something is off. He is not who he claims to be," I muttered under my breath.Gaius didn't want to be careless, so he tried as much to play safe with Astrid, "I care about you too,

MagnusI suddenly burst into laughter at how messed up everything seemed. In the space of a week and a half, my body had been stolen, I had found a new one, and now I was sitting in the library at the home of the alpha of the Silverwood pack, completely unrecognizable.I drummed my fingers methodically on top of the book I had plucked from the shelf before picking it up and flipping to the first page. "The Werewolf's Grimoire," I read out loud, then snapped my head up as I heard footsteps thumping down the hallway towards the door.For some reason, I bolted up from the seat and stood waiting for whoever it was to enter.I clenched and unclenched my fingers, hoping it wouldn't be Astrid's father or brother. I wasn't in the mood for a fight or explanation.The door flew open, and Astrid came rushing towards me at full speed, crashing into me before I had time to react."I'm so sorry," she sobbed against my chest, "Oh, but I should have known, I should have…""It's alright," I muttered w

MagnusTheo's nuptial joining was scheduled to be held at the large garden behind our main house, so it inevitably meant that the whole place would be teeming with activities for most of the day. This also meant I could come along as a guest without getting any strange stares from any member of the pack. Meredith had left before sunrise, so I just prepared and left with the hopes that she would show up at the venue much later."Do…Elliot!" Astrid called out as she rushed towards me, her hands spread out to hug me."Not too much now," I whispered into her hair, "we don't want to get any curious stares."She nodded and pulled back. "Gaius just left," she started, her words rushing out in hushed whispers. "He didn't tell me where he was going, but I followed his awful scent, and he's in the woods!""So, do we follow him?" I whispered back, and her head bobbed up and down anxiously."It'll be better to do whatever we have to there, where no one else might stumble into us.""Alright, wait,

MagnusThe room was prepared meticulously. In the center, a large pentagon was drawn on the floor with white chalk and intricate symbols etched at each point. Five black candles stood at the vertices, their flames flickering eerily. The air was thick with the scent of burning incense, a mix of sage and rosemary that filled the room with a heady, calming aroma.Meredith stood at the center of the pentagon, her presence commanding and serene. She wore a long, dark cloak; the hood pulled back to reveal her sharp, focused eyes. She gave me another nod, her eyes conveying both reassurance and urgency. We had no time to waste.The first time I saw Meredith, she seemed out of place amidst the crowd of werewolves. Her hair fell in soft waves around her shoulders, and her eyes—an ageless blue—seemed to see straight through me. Despite her delicate appearance, she emanated a quiet power that made even the most formidable members of our pack take notice.Meredith, a witch, is one of the few bein

MagnusI jolted awake, my breath ragged, chest heaving like a bellows. For a moment, the world around me was a blur of dim light and shadows. The pain was immense, searing through my veins as if my blood had been replaced with molten lead. Gradually, the room came into focus—the dusty wooden beams overhead, the flickering light of a nearly spent candle, and the cold stone floor beneath me. I was back, but something was terribly wrong.My hand trembled as I raised it to my forehead, trying to push away the disorientation. The last thing I remembered was Gaius, his malevolent presence inside my body, being forced out by Meredith's spell. A spell that should have saved me but had left me feeling as if a part of me had been torn away.My eyes landed on the body beside me. The older man's form—the borrowed older man's body—lay still and lifeless, his eyes open and empty. Despite the relief of seeing him gone, a deep sense of unease gnawed at my insides. The older man was gone already, but
