Cassie squeezed her hands together nervously as she sat in the dark boot at Lenny’s and waited for her date to show up. It was her first time saying yes to someone from the dating app, and she was bubbling with nerves. What if she doesn't like her? Or what if she isn't her type? Or what if someone at her school was playing a joke? After all, she had used her picture and name, so it could be plausible that someone would know who she was and catfish her. Cass, however, hoped she is wrong, prayed tonight would go smoothly. Instead of one of the many ways she believed it would go wrong. Feeling anxious, She checked her watch for the third time. She had arrived fifteen minutes early, and only ten minutes had passed, so her date wasn’t late. Still, she couldn’t calm her nerves. And it only got worse when the five minutes passed and then another ten. Her date was now ten minutes late; she looked at the barely visible door and fumes. She had not thought of the possib

  • His Witch, Her Alpha   Chapter 35

    Today, we celebrate the coming of age of our next alpha, my nephew Xavier. As I step down from this role, I can genuinely say I have complete confidence he will be a fantastic leader. It has been amazing leading all of you over the last six years, and although the circumstance which brought on my leadership was tragic. I am proud of what we have accomplished together. Xavier, as you take on this role, one that is your birthright, know we all support you, and I will be here if you ever need me. To the alpha.” A chorus rings saying to the alpha. I look around the two hundred plus members of our pack meeting while the guest arrives for the party. I nod at my uncle as he talks to the elders of the pack. I should go and talk to them, but my mind is only on one person right now, El. I miss her, but I’ll see her soon if uncle ever stops talking. “Xavier! Xavier!” “Huh?” I look up, confused as everyone looks at me. “Do you have anything you want to say?” He asks, but

    “Get away from her.” I snarl. Resisting the urge to rip his throat out. “Xavier. Happy birthday: I was just bringing El a drink. She looked a little lonely.”He says with an obvious smirk. “I already told you I’m fine. Eric.” She says as I pull her towards me. “If I ever see you near her again, I'll kill you. You know better than to approach another wolf's mate.” “She’s your mate?” He asks with his disingenuous smile. I scowl, ready to rip him apart, but El grabs my hand. “Yes.” She responds to him. “I’m his mate, so please respect that I'm not available. Whatever crush you had, let it end tonight.” “I see. Well, I’ll respect it, but you may never know what fate may have in store. See you around, Elina.” He winks at us before walking off. “I want to kill him.” I snarl. “We should." Silas agrees as he disappears from our sight. “Xavier, I’m fine. Just forget about him.” I exhale and turn to fa

    Eric 15 minutes ago I’m outside, looking at the moon away from the noise. I inhale the cool air as I try to think of my next move since Elina didn’t drink the champagne with the potion. I still have half of the bottle left, but I need to be certain she will drink it this time, or it will all be a waste. I hear the mating ceremony begin, but I know that won’t stop me once she consumes it. It may not be tonight, but eventually, she will give in to the potion and the dreams. I have been visiting her most nights since I replaced her necklace with a fake. She’s been resistant to my advances so far, so this potion is the best chance to get her back to the pack before my father’s birthday in two weeks. I inhale and frown as a distinct scent irritates my senses, Damon. “What are you doing? Aren’t you going to stop them?” He asks as he approaches me. I sigh and reluctantly peel my eyes away from

    I descend the stairs with my bag. It’s Monday, and after the events of Saturday night, I’m not looking forward to school. I don’t want to see Eric. I want to hide until my heart goes back to loving only Xavier, but I’m unsure if that will happen. I keep dreaming of Eric telling me I love him, and all those dreams feel so real that my emotions are a mess. I sigh and head into the kitchen to see dad sitting by the table feeding grandma. I haven’t gotten close to her since the incident, even though Raina says it is safe as long as I wear the necklace. Mom doesn’t want me to risk it, so dad has to take care of grandma with her gone. “Good morning, dad. Morning Gran.” He looks up with a smile, but grandma, of course, doesn’t respond. “Good morning, sweetie.” I make my way over to the fridge and grab myself some milk and cereal and sit down at the table. “Are you going to work?” I ask as I

    Seven years ago Elina stirred from her sleep as if an external force was pushing her to wake up. She opened her eyes slowly as a bright purple hue shine through her window. A purple moon? Today is the purple moon! Aunt Kat had told her about it in the past. She said Xavier got very sick during the purple moon.Aunt Kat had explained that because Xavier was born from two pureblood, his wolf was more dominant than other wolves. This usually isn’t a big deal, but the purple moon, the signified mating, always made him lose control, and this would continue until he found his mate. But until then, they had to lock him away in the basement until it passed. She didn’t understand much when they explained, and she doesn’t understand it now, but the thought of him being sick and alone hurt her heart.She had offered to stay with him, but Katerina told her it would be too dangerous if she did. Xavier could hurt her by accident, but Elina didn’t believe it. Xavier ha

    XavierTwo days later.I jump up out of bed, feeling the best I’ve felt in a week. I spent the last two days clearing my head, and now I’m ready to pick up everything I dropped. I know I’m not okay, and I still risk losing control, but uncle was right. I am the leader of this pack, and therefore, I must lead at all times, even when I am not at my best.I head to the desk and grab the folders. Reviewing the latest update on Titus. He’s been spotted twice. I know he’s after her grandmother, so he’ll be sticking around until he spots an opening. This means El-she may be in danger.“We have to protect her,” Silas says.“He can protect her,” I say, not quite meaning it, but wished I did.“She’s our mate.”“She’s not!”“Why don’t you fight for her?!”He growls.“I’m done talking about this.” I shut him out and head to the bathroom. I take a quick shower and get dressed. Then make my down the stairs just as Uncle Alavic is coming up.“Good to see you dressed an

    Cassie I skip through the spellbook for the fourth time as I try to find a potion to undo my mistake. I’ve been trying since I found out Eric is an incubus and probably the one that’s been haunting El’s dreams. I don’t know how to tell El, so I’ve been trying to cure her secretly. I have given her three cures in the form of drinks, and while she has drunk all three, she remains under his spell. The love potion he gave her enhanced by whatever he added seems incurable. He told me it would make it more effective, but I didn’t know it would make it possibly irreversible. How could I do that to my best friend? How could I easily betray her? And for what? Keira has barely spoken to me since that night, and when she does, she only brings up making more potions. Confirming what I knew but didn’t want to acknowledge. She never loved me. I was just a tool for her to use. I feel the tears coming but push that back. I don’t have time to be sad right now. I can cry when this is all over, and El

    Xavier It’s been a couple of hours since I saw El, and my lips are still tingling from our kiss. She still loves me that much is clear. She is probably confused, or maybe she’s scared of being the Luna, so she turned to him. Or maybe there is another reason. Whatever the reason, I’m going to find out and fix it. Because life without El barely has meaning. I need my little witch. Silas WhinesShe will be ours again. I smile again as I take a swing at the punching bag. I’ve been in the gym for a couple of hours trying to burn off some of the energy Silas has since seeing El. It seems she recharged him, so he’s been frantic.I punch the bag again and try to figure out what I will do next to win El back. So far, all I’ve learned is that she loves us both. While this isn’t ideal, I can use it to my advantage. The first thing I need to do is spend more time with her. I should ask her out on a date. We haven’t had an actual date since our memories and feeling return. I mean, we’ve saved each

    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?

    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

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.“

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
