Cressida's povThe morning assembly was chaos and the hall was packed and the noise was deafening.I stood with Raven beside me and Benita on my other side and Tasha leaning against the wall with her silver braids loose and her arms crossed. The wolves were restless and the energy was high and the anticipation was thick."What is happening?" I asked."I do not know," Raven said."Something is different.""Something is always different.""Same thing."Professor Eliana walked to the front of the hall and her wild red hair was bright and her smile was wide and her voice was loud."Students," she said. "Faculty. Wolves of Blackfrost Academy."The hall went quiet and the whispers faded and the silence was absolute."We have an announcement," she said. "A very important announcement."The wolves leaned forward and the tension was thick."The teachers are gone."The hall erupted and the noise was loud and the chaos was absolute."Gone?" someone shouted."Gone where?" another voice shouted."

Cressida's pov The summons came at dusk and the parchment was sealed with black wax and the emblem was unfamiliar.I stood in my quarters and the fire was crackling and the candles were flickering and the room was warm. Ember was curled on the bed and her purr was soft and steady. The parchment was in my hand and the words were clear and the message was urgent.Cressida Ashcroft,You are hereby summoned to attend the Gathering of the Covens. The assembly will take place at the Neutral Grounds at the rising of the moon. Your presence is required. Failure to attend will result in severe consequences.The Council of Covens.I read the words again and my blood went cold.The Gathering of the Covens. The witches were calling me. The witches were summoning me. The witches were demanding my presence.I looked at Ember and her amber eyes were watching me and her purr was steady."What do I do?" I asked.She meowed and I did not understand.The door opened and Lucian walked in and his face wa

Cressida's pov The morning was cold and the sky was gray and the snow was falling and the world was white.But I did not care.I was buzzing with energy and my heart was pounding and my hands were shaking and my smile was wide. The Harley was waiting and the engine was cold and the tires were full and the tank was full. The Falcon Thunderstrike gleamed in the pale light and the chrome sparkled and the leather was soft.I had not ridden in days and the need was building and the freedom was calling.Raven appeared in the doorway and her dark curls were wild and her eyes were bright and her voice was loud."Where are you going?" she asked."Out.""Out where?""Out. Anywhere. Everywhere.""Can I come?""No.""Why not?""Because this is my ride.""Your ride?""My ride. My Harley. My freedom."She crossed her arms and her voice was flat. "You are impossible.""I am determined.""Same thing."I laughed and the sound was bright and the joy was real.The Harley roared to life and the sound wa

Cressida's pov The room was warm and the fire was crackling and the candles were flickering and the world outside was cold.We were gathered on the floor with blankets and pillows and snacks and the laughter was bright and the joy was real. Raven was sprawled on the rug with her dark curls wild and her eyes bright and her voice loud. Benita was sitting cross-legged with her brown eyes soft and her smile warm and her hands wrapped around a cup of tea. Tasha was leaning against the bed with her silver braids loose and her arms crossed and her expression flat.I was in the middle of them and the frost was still there and the cold was still there and the fear was still there. But the warmth was there too. The warmth of the fire and the warmth of the friends and the warmth of being together.The blankets were soft and the pillows were plush and the snacks were endless. Raven had raided the kitchen and Benita had brought tea and Tasha had contributed nothing but her presence and her sharp

Lucian's povThe greenhouse was cold and the glass was frosted and the plants were dead and the world was silent.I had been pacing for hours and the floor was worn and my boots were loud and my hands were shaking. The frost was everywhere and the cold was everywhere and the fear was everywhere. But the anger was there too. The anger that had been building for weeks and the frustration that had been growing for months and the rage that was finally breaking free.Cressida was standing in the corner and her arms were crossed and her face was pale and her eyes were bright. She had been watching me pace and her silence was heavy and her presence was sharp."Say something," she said."Say what?""Say anything.""I do not know what to say.""You always know what to say.""Not this time."She stepped closer and her voice was sharp. "You have been avoiding me.""I have not been avoiding you.""You have.""I have not.""You have."I stopped pacing and turned to face her and my hands were shaki
