I walk through the hallways as I make my way to my first class; it’s English. Elina also takes this course, and although I don’t want to admit it, I’m looking forward to seeing her. I head into the class and scan the room, but she isn't there. I spot her friend Cassie sitting by the window, an empty chair beside her. Where is she? My mind begins to race with all the horrible possibilities.
“Mr.Ivanov, if you’ve located what you’re looking for, will you please have a seat.” Mrs.Carter, the English, pushes up her glasses as she looks at me.
Mrs. Carter's voice pulls me from my overthinking. I grunt then make my way to my seat, passing Keira on the way. She smiles at me, but my mind is only on Elina. Why isn't she in class? Is she more hurt than I thought?
“Mr. Ivanov….Xavier Ivanov.”
“Huh?”
“Xavier Ivanov, were you paying attention? Your essay on love, are you ready to read it?” Essay? Oh, we di

Elina I flip the pages of the tenth spell book today and groan as I once again find nothing useful. All locator spells need some possession of the person to be able to link to them. However, I have nothing of Katerina’s, and since Xavier hasn’t bothered to call or visit in the last two days, I can’t ask him even though I’m trying to help him locate his mother. He just brushed me off as if I was nothing to him, but from my memories, we really cared about each other. Even though it’s been a long time, why are my feelings coming back, but he’s still a cold-hearted wolf. Uh, let’s not think about him. If he can act like I don’t exist, then so can I.I’ll forget him and his stupid smirk and his stupid face. Ughhhhh, I scream in frustration. “Boys are so annoying,” I scream as I throw the book across the room. It stops mid-air and floats around for a bit before landing Iris. “That’s true. They do suck.” She agrees as she flips through the pages of the

Cassie Present Elina walks in holding a pile of boys' clothing and sighs as she takes a whiff of it. I furrow my brows, confused by the clothing and her actions. Ris and I exchange a quizzical look before we turn back to her. “What do you have there?” Ris asks before I can. “Xavier clothes.” She mumbles, her face still buried in it. “Why do you have Xavier stuff?” And more importantly. Why are you smelling it? I think to myself but do not dare say it. “He was just here...Ris; you said he checked in on me today. What did say?” “He wanted to know how you were; I guess he missed you at school.” Iris looks at Elina concern as she plops down on the ground while clutching Xavier’s shirt as if it was some treasure. Wait, she went outside to meet Eric. What happened to him? Did he tell her about Keira and me? “What about Eric?” I ask nervously, but I don’t think I have anything to worry about from

Elina My heart thumps in my chest as Xavier's lips touch mine. I should pull away; he’s annoying and confusing. One minute he hates me, and next, he’s trying to kiss me. I should reject him, but I can’t because I want to feel his lips against mine every time I look at him. I close my eyes, anticipating the moment his lips will crush down and mine. “Babe?” Her screeching voice comes crashing down. I pull back instantly as she walks up to us. What am I doing? He has a girlfriend. Even if I dislike her, I should respect their relationship regardless of Xavier and my past. “Kei..” He looks at her and then back at me as if he’s conflicted. “What are you doing? The movie’s about to start.” She replies sweetly while her eyes look like they could kill. I guess I would be mad too if I saw my boyfriend about to kiss someone. “Babe…” she calls again because Xavier is still holding on to my hand and looking at me. This time, however, he rel

Elina I wake up Monday a bit annoyed that I must go to school today. I spent the weekend after that horrible date, trying new locator spells to find Aunt Kat, but I still have no luck. I want to find her before his birthday party this weekend because maybe then... “Right, he’ll thank me for finding his mother and run off into the sunset with me.: I roll my eyes at my ridiculous thoughts. I should just find his mother because of who she was to me without ulterior motives. “Time to wake to pumpkin,” Dad knocks and calls from the door. “I’m up, dad! Seriously why do you and mom still think you have to wake me up for school? I am not a baby anymore.’ I snap at him, but I know I’m just taking out my frustration with Xavier on him. Dad opens the door and pops his head in, and smiles. I already told him I say Xavier at the movies, so he knows why I’m acting like this. “It’ll be okay, sweetie. I’m sure you two will.” “Dad, I don’t want to talk

Elina I spot Cassie in the back, but no Xavier. A little disappointed, I head over to join Cassie. “Where’s Iris?” I plop beside Cass, who has her head in a book. “Meeting Jackson in the supply closet.” “We are not calling him Jackson. That’s where I draw the line.” I scowl, almost sick. If I weren’t so hungry, the image of them kissing would have ruined my appetite. “She’s happy you can’t help who you fall for.” I roll my eyes, sinking my teeth in my burger. Just then, Iris walks up to us with a big grin on her face. “Hi, loves.” “Hmmm, how long was your make-out sessin?” She grins as she sits beside me. “It was awesome.” She reaches over and grabs a fry from my plate. I try to slap her hand but miss narrowly. “Isn’t that nice? Stop eating my food; if he’s banging you, the least he can do is feed you.” I mumble, stuffing a burger in my mouth. “Jealous much?” “I’m not jealous—it’s weird. I miss s

Elina We arrive at Iris's house fifteen minutes later. Iris and Raina moved here together when I was in the 7th grade. They moved here alone. Raina, the older sister who worked and provided for her younger sibling. Iris said their parents died in a fire when she was ten and Raina was seventeen. They really don't like to go into the details about their parents' death so that little is all I know. Raina is the town herbalist and also owns a flower and coffee combination shop in town. “Are you sure we aren’t bothering her.?” I ask as we slip out of the car. “Why would be a bother?” I jump a little surprised at hearing Raina’s voice behind me. I turn around to face her, and sure enough, she approaches us with a bright smile on her face and a basket full of flowers. She’s always in their garden whenever I come over. “You look better, child. How have your dreams been?” “Incubus free thanks to you.” “That’s good enough for now; we still have

Eighteen plus years ago A tall man with a hard jaw, brown hair, and brown eyes walks into the council room with all the elders in the pack. He already knows what this meeting is about, and he’s pissed off they keep forcing this on him. “Why are we fucking here again? I told you I have no desire to sire an heir,” he barks at the elders. “Rivk, We must secure the future of the pack regardless of your personal feelings. You cannot be the alpha for ...” Rivk growls loud and violent for a minute, causing everyone to fall silent. “You are not getting younger already twp scores, yet you have made no effort to find our Luna.” Rivk looks at the woman at grits his teeth. “Luna, Luna! That’s all you lot think about. We have other things to worry about, like other packs entering our territory. Let’s find solutions to building our numbers and strength and stop worrying about who is in my bed.” “We are focused on the growth of the pac

Noime walks up to her with the snake wrapped around her hands. Isolde knows she’s in trouble, even if her body isn’t here. Noime could kill her without much effort. “I need a doctor!” She shouts, finally deciding the truth; well, a half-truth would be better than a lie. “You’ve been watching my house for two months because you need a doctor? I’m not a doctor; I’m a vet, and since you’re a witch though you lack some skills, you look capable enough to heal yourself.” Isolde arteries tighten; it feels as if something is pulling blood from her body—blood bending? How? Pain rips through her as it continues, but her face is relaxed when she looks at Noime. “You can tell me the truth, or I’ll bleed you dry. I promise to make it as painful as possible.” She smiles at her, and the pressure in Isolde’s left hand increases. She screams in pain as her blood tries to force itself out of her body. “Why are you here?” Noime repeats as Isolde writhes in pain. I

I remove my teeth from El’s neck and howl as our connection deepens. I feel everything she’s feeling: shock, confusion, love, and pain. It’s minor, but I hate that she is in pain because of me. I bit her before the full moon, and though it’s frowned upon, the effects are usually just mild pain and prolonged sleep. “AHHH.” El cries out, and simultaneously pain surges through me suddenly. I growl and shift back into my human form, pulling her into my arms. “El,” I call out to her, but her eyes are closed as her body shakes. I can feel the pain coursing through her. Silas claws against my being, trying to get out. Stop it, I command. There is nothing you can do. What’s wrong with her? “I don’t—-” “AHHHH,” she cries out again. “Troy!” “Yes, Alpha.” “Get Dr. Dyer, now!” Twenty minutes later, I’m pacing before the room as Dr. Dyer examines El. I can feel she is no longer in pain, but I can’t help from feeling like this is my fault. I shouldn’t have bitten her before it was time,

“What? Dad!” I shout, angrily. I was wondering why he wanted to see him so badly. Of course, he would make such a desperate request since he has no faith I can succeed him on my own.“Tess, this is for your own good.”“I’m not some charity case, Dad. I told you I could handle this on my own. I don’t need anyone and certainly not him!”I glare at Xavier, who is still in shock.“I don’t know how much longer I have. With his protection, I know you will be okay.” He reaches out to touch me but I turn away from him.“I don’t need his protection. I’m strong. Stronger than you think I am. I will—”“Wayne!” Xavier shouts followed by a large thud.I spin and find my father on the ground twisting in pain.“Dad!” I say as I run to his side.“What’s wrong with him? Is this related to his illness?”Xavier asks.“I don’t know he’s only ever coughed up a little blood before. Dad! What’s wrong?! Tell me what’s wrong?” He grits his teeth as blood leaks from the corner of his lips.“He needs a doctor—-Se

ElinaSilas stops and backs away slightly, but he keeps his guard up as he stands between me and the man. I look at the man who is still on the ground. His hair is a little shorter than it was a couple of days ago, but from the scar across his left eyebrow to his ocean blue eyes, and even the exhaustion he wears. I know it’s him. I watch as he rises to his feet slowly.“Are you alright?” I ask.He nods his head. “I am just a little sleep-deprived. I’m sorry if I scared you.” He takes a step toward me but stops in his track as Silas bares his teeth, warning him to stay back.“Silas, it’s okay. I think we can trust him.” I say.I do not know him, but I think if he wanted to hurt me, he wouldn’t have saved me from getting hit that day.“She’s right, Xavier. I am only here to talk. I will not hurt her.” The man says.I stare at him, stunned, as Silas growls at the mention of Xavier’s name. How does he know him? Who is he? Were my instincts wrong, and he was sent by Titus? I take two steps
His Witch, Her Alpha Goodbye and Hello
Elina.The morning passes by pretty quickly and soon enough; it was time for lunch. I stand on the staircase waiting for Xavier and the girls. I’m glad Cass and I are back on good terms. It was hard being mad at her. Even if it was only for a day.“Elina.” I spin as Eric comes walking up to me. I figure he would come back to school soon. I wondered how I would feel when I see him again. If I would be angry or feel betrayed. However, what I feel now is indifference. Perhaps because, unlike Cass, he was a stranger to me before all this. Plus, after being stabbed by my grandmother, nothing else really surprises me.“You’re not here to kidnap me again, are you?” I joke as he approaches me.Not getting the joke, his face grows stern. “I’m really sorry.”“Which part? Poising me with your blood or trying to resurrect my dead great-grandmother in my body?”“Both. El, I’m really sorry. About everything. I don’t know how to make it up to you, but I promise I will. On my mate’s honor. I will.”“

IrisI awake to the heavy feeling of his hand across my body. I groan as I remove it and sit up, staring down at his sleeping face. Why did I let him sleep here last night? I am done with him. This relationship is pointless. He won’t choose me as his mate, and that is something that will never change. I need to move on. I have my whole life ahead of me. College next fall away from this town and him. That’s what I need: a fresh start, but this town was supposed to be Raina’s and I fresh start. A change to forget the horrible memory of our parent’s death, but now she’s off chasing ghosts and I’m in love with my teacher.My eyes drift to him sleeping peacefully and I can’t help thinking of all the times we fell asleep in each other arms. I hate to admit it, but I miss him. His smile, his touch, the feel of his skin against mine. I raise my hand, suddenly feeling the urge to touch him, when his eyes snap open. My hand pauses mid-air.“You act cold, but I know you miss me.” He says as he g

I walk out of the shower and head into my room. I towel dry my hair and pull on shorts and a t-shirt, then sit on the bed. After leaving Uncle Alavic, I spent the day training, determined to get better. I need to be stronger now that he’s leaving in two days. I need to become the leader he wants me to be.My phone buzzes and I grab it, hoping it’s Elina. I’ve been calling her all day, but she’s been ignoring me.I flip it over and see a text message from KeiraWe need to talk. Why would I need to talk to her? I frown and throw my phone down, depressed that it isn’t El. I sigh. I guess I’ll have to wait until school tomorrow to talk to her. Right now, I should try to get some rest. I pull back the covers and slip under, turning off the lamp. I close my eyes and try to sleep, but all I can think about is Uncle leaving and if I’m ready to be the Alpha without him guiding me? I toss and turn for hours until I give up and sit up in the bed. I need to clear my head. Maybe going for a run w

XavierTwenty minutes ago“Elina!” I shout as she falls to the ground.I rush to her side and pull her into my arms.“Elina!” I shake her, but she won’t budge. Her eyes are closed, and there is a small trickle of blood coming from one nostril.‘Mate’ Silas whines as he scratches to break free. I grit my teeth and push him back.“Stop it. You can’t help her.” He whimpers as I scoop El up in my arms.“Don’t worry, she will be fine.” I turn to head to the door when Noime shouts.“Mom!” I spin as Dad’s wolf is thrown across the room. He crashes into the wall and falls to the ground.“Dad!” I shout as I hurry to his side, with El still in my arms.“Mom!” she shouts. I spin as El's grandmother rises from the ground.“Mom!”Boom! A large burst of power erupts from her, pushing Noime and me back and shattering every glass in the room. I duck, shielding myself and El, who suddenly starts panting.“El,” I call as her breathing gets heavier.‘What’s wrong with her?’ Silas asks as I watch her che

ElinaI keep my grip on Xavier as he steers the bike down the road. My thoughts return to the man who had just saved me. His exhausted eyes were ablaze with rage. I’m not sure what he meant when he said he’d see me again. I’m hoping he’s not another enemy to contend with. Titus and his pack will be hard enough to deal with.“If he then we will face him together,” Xavier says through our mindlink.It still feels weird when his voice pops into my head, but it also makes me feel closer to him. I wrap my arms around him and lay my head on his back.“Together,” I murmur, closing my eyes for a brief rest.“El,” The sound of Xavier’s voice stirs me from sleep. I slowly open my eyes and realize we’re not moving anymore. I release Xavier and sit lean back, realizing we’re in Cass’ driveway.“You fell asleep. I guess we got a little rest after last night.” He says as he gently massages my hands that are still wrapped around him. I lean forward and press my face against his back, inhaling him.“

XavierI rub my temples as I listen to the reports of the latest news about what’s happening in our territory. I’ve been in this meeting since 10 and now it’s around noon and I’m ready for this to end. I glance down at the ring on my finger and smile. Maybe I should escape to El's room. I’m sure it would be more fun than this.“What are we going to do about the rogues?” Gris, one of the elders, asks, pulling me from my thoughts.“What rogues?” I glance up at my uncle, confused.“We had some rogues move in on the river in the last week.”“Why didn’t I know about this?”“You were.” He pauses. “I should have informed you, alpha. We’ve been monitoring them while you were—away. They seem harmless.” He says
