So it was settled. We leave for New Jersey as soon as possible, without delay. I didn't like the abrupt change of plans, but with the secret we were so desperately trying to hide and the new task Jake had bestowed on me recently, I had no complaints to say.

Jake told me earlier about the Stone Moon festival and how it works, including the veil used to cover it. At the festival, at least one witch or warlock should be present, to cast a veil unto the event, like a cloaking spell, to be hidden from the human eye.

The last festival, he had said, five years ago, there was an elderly witch that helped them with it and for the other previous ones. Sadly, she died and like Dan had told me, while I moved in, he and the Lycans really weren't that friendly with witches, and they wouldn't be able to find one in such a short notice. Which was why I came into the picture.

Jake had asked for me to anchor the festival as the cloaker, as the only witch they knew and trusted. I was overwhelmed when h

    I knew it. I could feel it in the air, in the cold welcome it gave us, in my bones. I knew that this time, it wouldn't be the same as the last.Memories flooded me, and I recalled the very moment I stepped into the Pack house, it was overwhelming. It felt like I was watching a slide of pictures unfurling in front of me. The laughter we shared, the friendship I made, the little conversations that we had... everything was replayed and it made me feel highly nostalgic, even when it hasn't been that long since I've been here.It was empty— well, save for the rest of us— although, it wouldn't be for long. Soon, this house would be crowded and any semblance of peace or serenity I had managed to get here would be broken and scattered into pieces, making me enjoy the little bit of silence I got. The silence wasn't that peaceful as I thought, a few minutes in. I found myself glancing at the triplets, occasionally locking gazes with them and looking away, quite as fast, to remove any form of c

    I walked towards the back, with long strides. Funnily and kinda strangely to me, I haven't been to the back of the mansion before, for some strange reason. I guess I didn't feel the need to, since all I needed was at the front of it anyway and I was too busy with my spells and fighting vampires to care. But this time, when I heard Jason was there, I got really curious. What was he doing? Was he just lounging around or was he mowing the grass, with his shirt off? I shook my head, to wipe away all silly thoughts. It was very unlikely for him to do that— they had a gardener after all and why would he do that randomly? There was no reason why. I guess I'll just have to find out myself.On reaching there, I froze in my step. The shocking blue that took up my vision was nearly blinding. But that wasn't all that took my attention. It was Jason, in all his majestic glory, threading water in his gigantic pool. I blinked once, not quite processing the sight in front of me. First of all, I never

    I nearly choked on my salad. “What?” I asked, still in disbelief, the moment I stopped myself from hacking out in coughs.“You heard right. It's in two days,” Dan chuckled heartily at my expression. I, on the other hand, couldn't see the reason for his amusement. What was so amusing to know that the coronation was in two days? Heck, I thought it was in a week or two, not in two days!I put down my fork and shot an accusing glare at the triplets, who were sitting beside me, digging into their meal nonchalantly, like it wasn't a big deal. We were all seated in for dinner, which my mom and I made. It was a huge spread and I couldn't complain, seeing how much I missed spending time with her. There was a variety of beef and barley soup, roast chicken, mashed potatoes and crackers, roasted asparagus, salad and finally, some homemade pizza. For dessert, we have some Swiss fondue, Neapolitan ice cream and cheesecake. We conversed amongst each other, lightly, sharing little bits of informati

    “Ash...leaves?” I frowned, the confusion bubbling within me was quite understandable. There was a whole rollercoaster of things I didn't know about and it was slamming down into me today.“I thought that all I needed to do was to cast a concealing spell over the festival, to prevent the eyes of others from prying in. So, what's the Ash leaves now?” I asked, not bothering to rid myself of the aggravation I felt inside. There was a whole lot of things that weren't in place and that stresses me.“I know you're confused, Cassandra. Just listen to me. I'll explain everything, okay? The ash leaves are a special type of vegetative part of the Ash flower that are very rare in the world.” Dan said, but I was insanely curious.“I haven't heard of that before and trust me, I know about my plants,” I said confidently, boasting of my knowledge of fauna. I was an earth witch. It's only proper for me to know about the source I was constantly drawing out my powers from, right?He chuckled a bit. “Yes,

    “My Lord, I have very important news,” a brave guard came in, his face taut, careful not to show his fear out to Damien, for fear that he would be devoured by him.“Yes? Out with it then,” Damien snapped impatiently, causing the guard to flinch, despite his resolve not to be afraid. Truth is, these days, Damien had become more irritable than ever and every slightest thing made him snap. The frustration was gnawing at his fingers, his restlessness was getting the best of him, with the fact that that brat’s coronation was in some days and he couldn't do anything yet. Still, there was excitement in him, even after his irritation. Cassandra was one of the things that got him excited and the forthcoming war.“The Lycan triplets are back, along with their people. The witch, Cassandra is also with them,” Damien straightened up in his seat, pleasure settling within him. It seems like he was getting what he wanted, sooner than he thought. Having Cassandra, so close, in the palm of his hand

    “What's wrong with you? What's on your mind, Jake?”The crunching noises he made from his sneakers stopped, along with his steps. His back was facing me, but he didn't say anything and I couldn't tell what expression he was making. It confused me and I wondered if he would lash out at me and pour out all his anger on me, from my decision to leave for my coven.Or maybe he will be like Jason and threaten to bring the whole world down if they don't accept us. But I couldn't assume. So I waited. I didn't make a sound and neither did he. We stayed in silence for a long while, before he finally spoke up.“I know you're planning on leaving— Uhm-Planning on...leaving us. Jason told us,” he started, his voice dry and croaky.My mouth parted slightly, not expecting him to start off the conversation like that, straight off the bat. I scratched my arm awkwardly, focusing my gaze on his broad back. “Yeah, I kinda gathered. I thought I told you guys before,” I chuckled nervously. He turned aroun

    My mouth was agape and my brain was literally fried. I couldn't and didn't know how to kick-start my body to function anymore as I tried to process who was in front of me. Not only was Jake lying down on the floor, knocked out cold, but the man who constantly was stalking me, pressuring me with the Kiss Rock and insane interactions also was finally in front of me, and I didn't know what to do or how to act. I haven't seen him before, to place a face to him, but I knew it was him. With the dark, long hair, the ominous aura around him, his smell, and the looming figure, it was no doubt that it was the mysterious stranger. However, now I could see his face properly and somehow, it sent chills down my spine and made me uncomfortable. His hawk-like features, his piercing, icy blue gaze, his raven hair, long and framing his face...he was very handsome, no question, but it was unsettling. Even with the little features I had managed to gather, I still couldn't...see him. His eyes, those i

    My hair whooshed to the side and my heart beat so loudly and erratically in my chest, I was very sure that the vampire would hear it. I gulped, trying to keep it under control, not wanting to entice the bloodsucker with any sudden movements or action.I could feel his presence behind me, yet, I couldn't bring myself to turn around. I didn't want to turn around. I read somewhere, that vampires could smell fear from a mile away and they craved it, they drew it in, like their source of livelihood and I didn't like that one bit, especially now that my fear was spiked up to the heavens.I felt him come closer to me, his proximity now was so startling, that I let out an involuntary gasp, mentally slapping myself as soon as I did. With his revelation and thoughts about me, I didn't want him to egg on any thoughts about me having similar feelings about him as well. And my fears proved to be right when I felt the vampire's fangs graze against my neck. My breath hitched in my throat and I slo

    ***Our honeymoon at the resort was nothing short of a paradise. It was wonderful being able to flaunt my husbands out to everyone without living in fear of what people would say anymore. There was the occasional criticism from strangers, but it’s nothing that I couldn’t handle, especially not with my six-foot and above husbands threatening to destroy anyone that antagonizes me on sight.Husbands. The title made me giggle.In a paranormal sense, they were my mates and we were bonded on a more spiritual level than what the basis of marriage was, but it made me happier to call them my husbands, especially since it’s not far from the truth either. They even went as far to give me rings, three of them, which I wore each day and alternated when I felt like it.I was genuinely happy. I loved my life now and I wished my joy would never end. We ate together each morning and went sightseeing, sometimes we would lounge on the beach, and at other times we would go to the mall to shop or to the

    It’s been months since the ordeal. Exactly three months since Jake and Jared regained their consciousness and opened their eyes from the coma. I sighed, watching the ocean crash against the shore in slow, rhythmical movements, enjoying the salty sea breeze. I had my mating ritual a week ago and currently we are on our honeymoon. I wouldn’t say that life had been easy on us, reaching up to this point, but I was just grateful that finally, I had my moment of peace and love. When the two of them woke up from their week-long torpor, they were happy, albeit, some of the Lycans took this as a chance to condemn us all. Apparently, the word that the four of us were in a relationship had spread like a wildfire, though we weren’t trying to hide it after the whole event. There was a huge amount of backlash and even when we explained to them that we were mates and even threw in the Red String of Fate theory to them, most of them ignored it and chose not to believe us. It was at that moment th

    “Gilda. Let’s not go into hasty decisions,” Jason started calmly as if her words didn’t affect him in the slightest. “You’re an adult and honestly I’m fine with any decision that you make and whatever you find is best for you. I will respect it nevertheless. But do not bring that child into the equation, okay? Leave your baby out of it,” he pointed to her stomach sternly, his eyes narrowed to slits.Her gaze went defensive once again. “What are you talking about—”“Like I said, I will respect your decision, but leave the baby out of it. The baby has to be born before you carry out any plans you have in mind. Because I don’t think Emery would appreciate you doing that to your child, when he was so excited to see them,” Jason said, with an air of finality in his voice. His face and voice were cold and cutting, but it was just exactly what Gilda needed. She didn’t want any pity remarks or sympathetic looks thrown her way, she needed the reality check and Jason gave it to her on a cold pl

    Beep. Beep. Beep. The heart monitor beside the hospital beds beeped simultaneously, both soothing and disturbing at the same time. It pained me to see them lying motionless on the beds, but at the same time, I felt a sense of relief, just knowing that they were alive. It was good enough for me. The high-pitched electronic sound was my only hope in the dark. It was the anchor that was keeping me afloat. Without those two shrill sounds, I don’t know what I would do…It has been a week since the war. A week since we buried Dan, Emery and the rest of the people that died in the war. Surely enough, the whole community was thrown into a frenzy. Wails and tears everywhere for their loved ones and families, all the lycans were thrown into despair and devastation. I was still numb from the whole thing. I couldn’t even process that Dan and the others were gone, it all still felt imaginary, like a sick nightmare that I was ready to wake up from. To top it all off, Jake and Jared are in a coma

    Jason’s words rang through my head like a siren and I stared at him in disbelief. I couldn’t believe my ears. I couldn’t believe that he would say that and give me up so easily. I looked at Jared and Jake, seeing their faces contorted in pain and agony, that I could also feel from the throbbing of my heart. They were slowly dying. If they don’t get those chains off of them soon, they will die. As disappointed and hurt as I was, listening to Jason’s negotiation, I understood that it was the best alternative.Damien looked surprised, yet at the same time he looked morbidly pleased with the turn out, as if he was expecting Jason to surrender in the first place. “Well, it’s up to you Cassandra. Do you agree to be with me in return for the release of your lovers, or if you want, I could kill them all right in front of you. Choose your pick,” he grinned at me, like he was telling a joke only he knew. I was disgusted.I looked at Jason once again, my chest heavy laden and heartbroken as I tu

    Jason instantly turned to the man, giving him his full attention, but I, on the other hand, was finding it hard to keep my blush down. Was Jason just about to say that he loved me? I shook my head and tried to focus on the conversation in front of me. Now wasn’t the time.“…the helicopter is here to pick you up sir,” the Lycan said and that snagged me out of the previous thoughts I was having. “Good. Tell the pilot that I’ll be there soon,” Jason ordered, dismissing the man before turning to me. My stomach churned a bit and I had an idea of what he was about to say next. “Cassandra…I know you may not like this, but I would have to ask you to sit this one out—”“No,” I folded my arms across my chest and flared up at him. I can’t believe that he would tell me something like that. He opened his mouth to insist again, but I shut him down faster than he would have liked. He frowned this time, keeping his expression stern, though I knew that he wasn’t really annoyed with me, he just wante

    Damien folded his arms, looking nonchalant and unscathed in the face of the catastrophe all around him. Blood spilled and splattered everywhere, guts and internal juice as well and the smell of smoke and ash with each breath he took. He barely made moves to kill anyone, watching as his men sliced, cut down and were also cut down by their opponents.Any onlooker who was watching Damien would see and notice his calm demeanor, but on the inside, Damien was fuming. One would think that he would be happy from all the chaos caused by him and the upper hand he had against the Lycans, but they would be wrong. He was in a rageful fit.It had been hours since he arrived in the Lycan Territory and began killing his way into the heart of it all. It had also been hours since he got feedback that Cassandra wasn’t even in the Territory at the moment, that she had been long gone since, even before the war started, so there was no chance of chasing after her even if he wanted to. He had tried to pry t

    “What?!” Jason growled, the sound reverberating through my bones and it was not in the soothing way I was used to. He was pissed. The veins by the sides of his temple grew prominent the angrier he got, bulging in time with the ones around his arms and muscles. On any other day, I would have taken the time to admire them, but now wasn’t the right time to. My eyes sought his pleadingly, however, he was too far gone in his anger to even see me. “Do you know how risky and dangerous it was, keeping this secret from us?! I can’t fucking believe that you knew this for so long, yet you kept it from us! What the fuck were you thinking?! Do you know if the warlock had bad intentions towards you? Or what…do you really think that you can go toe to toe with him? Cassandra, I know that you are strong, I have seen your abilities and I don’t doubt your strength in any way or form. But I’ve seen his powers first hand and I’m very sure he could overpower you if he wanted to. That’s not even the point

    Swoosh. My head felt like jelly as something akin to a rush of wind passed through my brain, leaving me lightheaded. Behind my eyelids, light in circular rings passed through them like a hypnotic wave, forcing me in it, as if trapping me and truly, that’s how I felt. The bed underneath me disappeared and though I felt stable, it seemed like I was floating on air. Even Jason that was in front of me had disappeared, leaving a trail of pixel-like splatters in his place. It was confusing, yet I couldn’t break my focus.Soon, the white light was replaced with multiple films of images swirling all around me. I frowned, wondering they were and what they could mean to me, when a sudden sense of nostalgia and deja vu hit me like a truck. I realized that in these moving images all around, each of them held a picture of me or rather, a memory of me. The ones where I was happy, the moments when I was sad, ones when I was angry, each of them were all inarguably me. It was bizarre, but then everyt
