I wait for the night guard to finish his shift, feeling both annoyed and tired. When I first came to Mistfall Wilderness Camp, a punishment doled out by a judge because my stepmother, Dolores, had accused me of trying to murder her, I had every intention of escaping. I had also not known at that point that a lot of events had been engineered for me to end up at this camp: a camp which is actually a school for the supernatural, built on a series of islands on multiple combined lakes. That’s what I’ve been told at least, ever since my own abilities manifested.

We watch as Miss Baker turns around and walks to her desk. “So – so what are we looking for?” I question him. He has to tell me now so that I could help him look for it. “Okay so the myth we are looking for is most often called The moonlight wish” he says , already digging into shelves. “The moonlight wish?” I say to myself softly while placing my bag on the ground so I can start looking through the shelves content too. “Yeah , I will explain it to in greater detail when we find something about it – mainly it’s back story” he looks to me with a serious face. I am actually quite excited to learn about it , he is keeping me in suspense and it is stirring up my curiosity.

My dark shades and long overcoat do a good job of hiding my identity, shielding me from curious glances and unnecessary conversations. And thankfully, Nate—my wolf—has never complained. Deep down, I know he must have wanted something different. Wolves crave freedom. They crave the thrill of shifting and running through forests with wild abandon, feeling alive in a way humans rarely understand. Nate must have wanted that. But I never allow it. Somehow, I have never liked shifting. It is not because of the pain—although the first few times nearly tore me apart. Over the years, I have grown used to it. Pain, after all, becomes easier to endure when it is familiar.

I hesitated for a moment. Instead of signing my own name, I wrote Harper’s name. Noah, this would be my gift to you. It was also the first wish of yours.

I earned the scholarship to study with the highborns and elites. My fingers involuntarily moved to my lips. If they weren’t bruised and swollen, I never would have believed any of this was real. It still seemed like a dream. Noah, Cole and Hayes were well known for their flirtatious ways even with a mate. Was this what it was? Just another conquest added to their endless list? I bumped into a girl and all her books crashed on the floor.

Luke was standing at the door with a bouquet of fresh flowers in his hands, along with a round cake. I was stunned. I quickly tugged him out of the house and asked, "What are you doing here? I've got guests at home tonight. It's a little inconvenient right now." "I'm here to celebrate the new year with you. Look, I've even gotten you fresh flowers and your favorite cake!" Luke exclaimed. "Do you like it? I had to line up for over an hour for this." "Thanks," I said. "But it's really inconvenient for you to come today. How about if I treated you to lunch some other day?"

Because nothing says you're entering womanhood like a pair of sparkly rocks to put in your ears. The walk to the pawn shop was nothing, well if you count six blocks in one direction only to learn that you took a wrong turn and proceeded to head in the opposite direction, nothing. What's a little exercise for a spoiled former mafia princess who is used to being chauffeured around her whole life. My legs burn as the pawn shop sign blinks over my head.
