"Have you lost your mind?" Josh's tone made her wince. With long, heavy strides he crossed the distance between them and stood right in front of her. His eyes looked at her with accusation. "How could you even think of doing this?"

Shaking her head, Eira stared at him with a gaping mouth which continued to bleed. "What do you mean?" Eira responded in an grave tone, her face puzzled.

"Don't act like you don't know. You're a witch! Have you forgotten that?"

She shook her head and raising her chin, answered, "No, Josh. I haven't. What does it have to do with me and Nate kissing?"

His lips quivered and brows descended, knitting closer. "It has everything to do with it. He's an abomination to nature. You can't be with him."

When Eira noticed her eyes welling up with tears, she held her head in her hand. "Are you even listening to what you're saying? He's your friend! How can you say that?"

Maybe not so much."The clock showed the time as midnight. But still she had heard n

    That night Eira tossed and turned in her bed but she never rested. The full moon looked down upon her from the sky outside through her open window. Its soothing light drove away the darkness from the room but as she regarded the celestial body, she thought of the werewolves. She wondered what they truly looked like in the transformed state. For some reason, she didn't believe the image she dreamed of to be real.She thought

    “Bella is not really looking for me, is she?” Eira asked as soon as they were far enough from Caleb.Damien shook his head, his eyes looking straight ahead. “No.”She smiled at him. “I’m surprised. You know her name and you keep referring to her as my red-haired friend. Anyways, where’s Dana?” “In the bathroom. Some problems with her dress,” He said flatly. Eira bobbed her and chewed her bottom lip. “Not that I needed your help, considering the fact that I was completely capable of doing a spell which I couldn’t do for obvious reasons…”Damien paused suddenly and she realised they were already inside. A slow song played and pairs danced to it in each other’s arms. “You were saying?” He asked, furrowing his brows. “Thank you,” Eira said and rolled her eyes. “You can let go now.”“What?” Eira nudged him with her free hand and asked, “Damien? What are you looking at?” She turned her eyes but found him staring intently at a wall.“Nothing,” He said, restless and his eyes finally met h

    "What was that?" Bella asked with widened eyes. "A vampire? Eira, I'm scared!" Her breathing turned ragged. Her arm instinctively reached and grabbed Eira's arm but the witch didn't allow herself to panic. "Bella, you should go." Eira advised her but she shook her head. "I'm not leaving you," She said. Eira felt her hand growing clammier and colder with each passing second. With Bella's arm still around her, she walked towards the origin of the screams. They started to fade until the night was silent except for the restless running feets outside. Panicked girls and boys ran out of the room in a hurry, not caring if they stepped on each other's dresses. Some were crying, a few screaming. There was absolute chaos and Eira looked for Damien's face in the crowd. Had he attacked someone? No, he couldn't. It was too risky a task even though he seemed to not care. Finally, Eira reached the bathroom, the door of which was partially open. She touched it slightly and let it open fully be

    "Are you enjoying yourself, Eira? Believe me it's only going to get worse."Dove raised one of her hands and conjured an apple out of thin air. It rested on her palm and Eira watched, struggling to get out of the ropes. She opened her mouth to whisper a spell but instead a loud groan left it when Dove pressed the apple between her palms. Her head pounded with an ache so terrible, her eyes started to water.

  • After The Night   Epilogue

    [JOSH]Even ten days after the massacre at the Black Hall, not a single soul involved that day could stop thinking about how all of it could've been prevented if only a few trustful, true words had been exchanged. The effect was seen on each one. Many lost their lives and many others people who they cared about. The signs of recovery however were blooming all around. People were forgiven for their bad deeds out of the kindness of the hearts of those who had been at the suffering end. Surprising to Josh, Eira had been strangely calm about having Raven in the mansion. The latter refused to return to the Black Hall and although she denied it, the warlock knew, deep inside she was mourning for Alexander. Nate—another surprise to him—had been chosen to represent the vampires in the supernatural coucil. The bloodsuckers had been oddly agreeable and united about peace—again another surprise for the warlock."Are you giving up already?" Josh asked when he saw Eira lazily throw the herbs in

Alexander barked at her before she could draw in a single breath.Raven stared into his eyes, her brows raised in confusion. "Is everything okay?"His jaws clenched together tighthly, making her frown. What had made him this angry in the morning?"How dare you betray me?" He shouted at her with a voice that made her flinch. "I raised you like my own daughter, took you in when the people who you shared blood with cursed and kicked you out and this is how you repay me?""I don't know what you mean?" She raised her head but even she could not miss the uncertainty in her own voice."Claudia, Nigel, Ben, Will. Is that enough or do I need to elaborate?"
