Wicca Academy Novels & Stories

“Shoot! That’s right. You said something about a Monday night class.” “The course catalog calls it “Studies in Local Ecology,’” she explains, offering me a glass of chardonnay. I nod my appreciation as she finds her seat and continues. “But it’s more like 'Witchcraft 101.' Some of us jokingly call it 'Wicca for Dummies.'" Antigone snorts. “Sorry,” she coughs, taking another swallow of chardonnay before attempting to eat another butter-sauteed chanterelle. Rainy pats her back in comfort.

Livia replied, their pace still marching in order. "Vampires and Demons? What about werewolves and witches?" Neah shot the question sharply, making Livia halt in her steps. From a distance, the guard followed them stealthily and Neah seemed to notice that. "Witches are in the academy and also werewolves but Lycans dominate there" Lucia replied " I know you must be wondering why witches and werewolves are there when it seems they're also enemies to us right?" Livia demanded and Neah nodded hastily.

"Well, it seems that our knowledge base is severely lacking in certain areas. Namely regarding daemons and magickal… creatures... I guess." "So?" Allen pouted, "What does any of that have to do with her?" "Well, as a hybrid, she's uniquely placed to offer insight and information on both daemons and their many variants as well as the knowledge she has on the varying types of witchcraft. Seeing as how the probability of Ada and Narcissa's little schemes being an isolated incident are extremely slim, as we discussed last night, I've already asked Lexi to consider taking a permanent spot here and constructing some sort of educational courses around her knowledge base." Adam explained patiently.

She quickly brushed the thought of it. " This is where you learned magic?" Mercedes asked, fascinated. " Yes. This is a safe space for witches like me. Young girls like them, who have nowhere to go, find a home in Vaugnorths. Here, they are taught the essence of magic and how to tap into their inner power and use it for good," Alexa explained to Mercedes as they walked in the hall. " That's a good thing. I'm sure these girls appreciate everything that is being done for them in this Academy," Mercedes says and smiles to herself.

"You weren't raised with us, weren't shown our ways. I understand this is crazy talk to you, but it's not. There are a few of our kind left in the world. True witches with power. We keep our craft a secret, and with good reason. You, sister, are one of us. You're part of a long bloodline that holds magick." "Uh-huh." If Kaida distracted them somehow, she might have enough time to get out the door. It would take eons to run back to the hotel and collect her things, but what was the alternative? Stay here and risk them possibly hurting her? They didn't seem violent, but whack was whack. And this was the very definition of insane. "Do I just wrinkle my nose and poof? Magic? Do we fly around on

"I understand your hesitation. But this opportunity won't come again. The Academy's resources are unmatched. If Maya's going to reach her full potential, this is how." "There are other ways to train her." "None as comprehensive. Alpha, you know what the Academy offers. You helped create it." She was right. The Academy provided training no single pack could match. Masters in combat, strategy, history, diplomacy. Resources gathered from packs worldwide. State-of-the-art facilities. Libraries containing centuries of werewolf knowledge. Combat arenas designed for advanced training. Mentors who'd trained some of the greatest Alphas in history. "The curriculum includes things we simply can't teach

Red dots indicating hidden Omega students. "This Academy has seven subjects. But there are three other academies running the same program. Northern Academy has five subjects. Western Academy has three. Eastern Academy had three but they were exposed last year at graduation." "What happened to them?" Chen asked. "One disappeared. Family took him, no one knows where. One was claimed by an Alpha family through legal channels. One is in government custody. Protective custody officially. But really detention." "Detention for what?" "Medical research. They're studying him. Testing. He hasn't been seen publicly since graduation."

“Leia Thornwood. We’ve been anticipating your arrival. I’m Claire Lester, Mistress of the Academy.” “Mistress,” I say, forcing my voice to remain steady. “Nice place you have here. Love the dark magic aesthetic. Very retro.” Claire lets out a soft, melodic laugh. “Victor told me you possessed a sharp tongue. It will serve you well here. As a Wolf Witch, you will be trained to harness the very darkness that your former pack fears and learn to use dark magic to become an elite protector of our kind.” She stops, her expression turning cool and businesslike. “But do not get too comfortable. The training is brutal, the mortality rate is a reality we do not hide, and your first session begins tomo

“What… what are you talking about?” The man turned to me, assessing me like one might a wild animal before deciding how best to break it. “A different punishment,” he said. “We’ll send you to the academy.” “What academy?” I asked. The Beta smiled. “Prescot Academy. The finest institute for our kind. It’s filled with shifters. Magic-wielders. Beasts in need of taming.” Even though I was a rogue, I knew Prescot Acedemy. Who didn’t? it was the most popular academy in the continent. It was prestigious and meant for the elite alone. Why they hell did they want to send me there>

I exit the dungeon without another word. Levi and Ariana join me in researching Wiccan history. “Witches can have a variety of magical powers in addition to the ability to cast spells,” Ariana says while reading a dusty leatherbound manuscript. “What kind of powers does it mention,” I ask. “All kinds! Elemental variances having to do with earth, fire, wind, and water, as well as telekinesis, freezing time, premonition, astral projection, um…oh my moon goddess…” Levi and I stare at her, waiting for her to continue.
