Learning that my mom and Cree were mates was shocking. A wave of disorientation washed over me, leaving me feeling adrift. Why didn't he tell me this before? Why didn't she? The question echoed in the cavern of my mind, a hollow ache that refused to be silenced. It felt like a fundamental piece of my history had been withheld, a crucial puzzle piece kept hidden.Adapt and live with it. Cree’s words, heavy with the weight of his own experience, played over and over in my head, a melancholic mantra. Could I do that? Could I truly adapt and live with this gnawing pain, this unwanted connection to Echo, while trying to maintain a semblance of normalcy with Asher? The idea felt impossible, a tightrope walk over an abyss.There was a quiet, almost hesitant knock at the door, followed by my name, spoken softly, tentatively. Asher. He was here to take me to dinner. My heart gave a strange flutter, a mixture of apprehension and a desperate hope for distraction. I moved towards the full-length

I was counting down the minutes until classes were done. The relentless ticking of the clock in my mind echoed the pounding in my head. We'd been doing a lot more practical stuff all day, spells and potion mixing that required intense focus and energy, and I was on the verge of being utterly drained, my magic feeling like a thin, stretched cord. My morning had started off rocky with Damien insisting he'd accompany me to classes, his presence an immovable force. We ended up coming to a compromise: he could come, but he was to wait outside the door and follow at a discreet distance, his shadow a constant reminder. Asher even tried assuring him that he'd look out for me, his voice slightly strained, but Damien had made it explicitly clear that not only did he not believe Asher could protect me, but that he didn't particularly like him either. Yeah, it was awkward at best, a thick tension that permeated the air around us.Asher wasn't very pleased when he found out I'd told Damien he coul

You'd think that the weekend rolling around would be a good thing, right? A glorious stretch of unscheduled hours. Well, you'd be absolutely right. I was finally free from all the probing questions about me and Asher, all the awkward dodging of Echo, the constant gnawing ache of his presence. I was looking forward to a blissfully people-free two days, just me and my books, a sanctuary of quiet. Oh, and Damien, of course, my ever-present shadow.Too bad Melody and Lyric, those forces of nature, had other plans.Of course, they came knocking at my door at a very early 10 a.m., their insistent rapping echoing through the quiet of my room, waking me from a peaceful, much-needed sleep. Damien, ever the vigilant one, answered the door and, to my utter surprise, ushered them inside without even asking me. He’d been going on and on for days about not closing everybody off, about me needing my friends, blah blah blah, his voice a persistent drone. Lyric, with her usual boisterous energy, ran o

Trying to sleep was futile. My mind, a whirlwind of anxieties, raced a mile a minute, replaying Asher’s broken face, the pain in his bloodshot eyes. On top of that, I had to listen to the chainsaw sleeping on the other bed – Damien, his snores rattling the windows. The thought of Asher, of the anguish I’d caused, haunted me, preventing any hope of rest. I needed to talk to him, to make sure he was alright, despite everything. I looked across the room, which made no sense, seeing as I could hear his rhythmic, thundering snores. I lifted the covers, easing my socked feet onto the cold, hardwood floors. Only six tiptoes in, and I froze on the spot when the floorboards creaked beneath my weight, a loud groan in the silent room. Damien shifted on the bed, his snoring momentarily halting, and I held my breath, my heart pounding in my ears. The steady snore that followed had me breathing out in relief, a silent exhalation. I picked my steps carefully, each one a calculated risk, and my pulse

CREE"No, I think that should do it, Tilly. If I start posting guards around the school, the students will get more restless than they already are."I’d been on the phone for the past hour, meticulously going over the new security measures, and all I could think about was ripping into a nice, juicy steak. I was grateful for the assistance, but I was beginning to get offended that she didn't think I could take care of my own kid, my own pack."Yes, I remember you'll be here this weekend, and no, I will not be making arrangements for you to stay overnight." She could be so exhausting, her demands never ending. "You have a good nigh—"Alpha, you need to come quickly.Damien’s voice, raw with urgency, ripped through my mind."Tilly, get over here. It's Genesis."She was gone before I could even disconnect the call, her magical speed a blur. I didn't even bother to put my shoes back on, the sheer panic in Damien's mental cry was enough to have me clutching the band on my hand and transport
