Bewitching Branch Novels & Stories

The river takes a breath. From the branches comes a whisper like rain. Lines glint, too bright for rope. Silver-thread and wolfsbane knots, the council’s witch-binding weave. It spreads fast, a falling curtain. Trish yanks me sideways. Lucian throws his shoulder into mine. Too late. The world narrows to mesh and light. A silver net drops from the trees.

The sun is bright today, but with the thick canopy overhead, only minimal light penetrates down to the ground. I quickly strip out of my clothes, hanging them on a nearby branch before shifting into my wolf form. Cautiously, I make my way around the trees, trying to pinpoint the location of the scent. A little distance away, right in the center of the cove, I can see that the underbrush has been trampled upon. I sniff at the spot, and once again, I’m uneasy about how familiar the scent seems. The scent is that of a Werewolf; I am certain of it.

I walk over, seeing that it is the size of a small branch and it must have come from the tree when he ripped it out of the ground. Shengis comes over to watch. “Girl no help.” I grab hold of the branch and begin to slowly pull it out. “I’m not just a girl, Shengis, I’m also a Guardian, and an Alpha werewolf. I may look small to you, but I’m stronger than you think.” When I pull the branch out of his hand, I can see both of their shock. They didn’t expect me to be able to do it. When Haijen starts to pull his hand back, I grab it, looking up at him.

No one knew about his magick, except Zach, his best friend. The coven of witches in Coven Groves was extinct, when the last real witch with pure magick, this Paula's grandmother, died and after that, there were mostly only wiccan people with soft magick, whose ancestors were real witches or wizards. Miranda Belize, the owner of the sweet tooth, was also from the wiccan line and she had soft magick, too. She was also an Earth witch, who made remedies with water and herbs. The librarian in their town, Mama Bora, was also someone with soft magick. Until Art. Art was the first one in decade with powerful pure magick.

Alpha Sebastian "Why is the newcomer talking to the witches?", i turn to my Beta, Thomas, as my eyes find her easily inside the big crowd. It's like my vision searches for her silhouette by default. Her brown hair flows freely on her shoulders as she bounces at the nearest candy stand, followed by her son Hektor and three more boys, i only assume are her sons too. She is talking vividly with Ethel, Rachel and Rosalind, three of the five witches from the Blue Moon Clan. Even amongst all that noise, i can hear her distinctive laughter. My chest is getting tight again, my head is lightly throbbing and my breath is growing heavy. What is wrong with me? What is this power this woman has on me and

A test of sorts. Ajax laughs in my head ‘you really think traveling to see a coven of witches will be fun’ ‘Hey you never know’, I replied. Maybe this chick is really hot and we can get our dick wet at least. ‘You know I want us to meet our mate, but until then who says we can’t have a little bit of fun’

They lay, whimpering, on the cold, damp ground, their crimson colored eyes rolled back in their sockets and froth foaming from their mouths. Merlin flicked her wrists and from out of nowhere, a low wind, whistled through the trees, moving closer to the flame-haired witch. Gathering momentum, the whistling rose steadily in pitch, as the gale came shrieking through the woods before surrounding Merlin. Her hair and clothes whipped around her and her eyes glowed green as her magical aura, grew and pulsated around her. Another flick of her wrists and the bodies of the injured werewolves were whisked away deep into the woods.

Samantha took a deep breath as she read: February 7 Today Lucien Blackwood, future Alpha on the Blackwood pack was born. The snow made it almost impossible for me to make the journey to be there to witness his birth. Thick blankets of snow cover the ground, deeper than I've seen since I was a girl. As Paul held the tiny newborn male the room began to spin and I had yet another vision. Fire, it began with fire and flames lashing out at me so real I thought I might burn. A forsaken heir will return bringing great conflict to the pack. The new Alpha will have to be wise, be just, and open to new beliefs. If he turns his back on this heir all will end in corruption and everything the pack has wo

It flowed across the ceiling like a glowing silver tide. The tree reacted instantly. Its branches shuddered. Its needles sparkled like frostbitten emeralds. The wolves all turned toward me slowly. Lucian whispered, “Aveline. What did you do.” “Nothing,” I said. “Yet.” Marek took one long breath. “Do not touch the tree.” I touched the tree. My fingertips brushed a branch. A spark of magic traveled under my skin. The magic I had infused into the decorations earlier surged through me, bright and eager. The tree pulsed with it.

"Damon, Arnette, you're coming with me." --- **THE WITCH'S SANCTUM** The sanctum of the Pack’s witch was an old, weathered cabin hidden deep within the forest, surrounded by towering trees and shrouded in an aura of ancient magic. The air was thick with the scent of herbs and incense, and the flickering candlelight cast dancing shadows across the walls, creating an atmosphere of otherworldly tension.
