Little Red Riding Witch The Witching Hour
[Rosalynd] I am surprised by how easy it is to fall into step with the coven leader as he walks with me on the streets of Arcata. Gideon shortens his stride to match my own, walking next to me, his closeness almost too familiar and intimate. "What do you know about our people?" "Our people?" "Witches. Regardless of what you might think, and regardless of that cruel remark I made in the bar, you are a witch and a very powerful one at that." Pretending that his question isn't ridiculous, I reply "Well, since I didn't grow up around anything but fake TV witches, I have no idea. The only experiences I have are cinemat
Little Red Riding Witch Rosemary and Rue
[Slone] I would hate her a bit if she was not my best friend and if she were not one of the kindest, most sensitive, loving people I have ever known. I want to be happy for her, but how can I when I see she is getting everything I ever wanted to be offered to her moments after being introduced to MY coven? I’ve spent the last two years studying, and practicing my craft, only to have little to no results. The coven has been generous with me and has continued to allow me to study with them, but I have never been allowed into their innermost circle. And Gideon. All night he has been watching her with hungry eyes. Not just lust, hunger. There
Little Red Riding Witch Grimm and Grimmer
[Rosalynd] When I closed the door behind me I felt surprisingly sober. Coven leader? Me? Did Gideon tell me that I have the potential to lead a coven? I’m not completely convinced I can trust him. There is something about him that doesn’t feel quite genuine. In many ways, his kindness and understanding are harder for me to understand and accept than his arrogance and contempt from before. The way he seemed to change personalities, like flipping a switch from harsh to caring, feels like a red flag for other behaviors. I will try to reserve judgment until I get to know him, and his coven better, but there is a tingle in the pit of my gut that is telling me to tread carefully, at least until I know more.
Little Red Riding Witch Can You Keep a Secret?
[Axel] “NOW!” Conner demands. “She wants this.” I need to get my wolf under control. But this isn’t going to happen in this car, not with her rose, jasmine, and sage scent blending with the equally powerful aromas of desire and fear, sending tingles down my spine as I fight the urge to hunt. Images of me chasing her as prey, satisfying my needs to rut and fill her with my seed as I mark her send electric tingles to all of my limbs. My vision is blinking red as I feel the points of my canines extending. I’ve been so careful not to touch her, to keep my distance. Even with my mate, the pull was never this strong. “Axel, I…” Her voice breaks my spell. Closing my eyes, I open the truck door and step out. “Let’s take a walk,” I laugh, trying to ease some of the tension. “I don’t know about you, but I need to stretch my legs.” She blinks at me, confused. “Can I ask you an honest question,” Rosalynd turns to me, keeping herself just a few steps away. “Anything,” I nod. “We are frie
Little Red Riding Witch Promise Me
[Rosalynd] He is stunning. I was not prepared to see the perfect curve of his bare ass, the rippling muscles of his legs, and his incredibly shaped, delightfully proportioned…shielding my eyes I turn away, hoping he doesn’t notice how embarrassed I am. “Um…Axel, I…” my voice is shaking. “I know I said I was ready for more of a relationship but this…” Something warm and slick rubs against the inside of my left wrist and I jump, not sure what I just felt. I feel warmth on my back as another body begins to pant loudly behind me. I turn around slowly. Standing before me is an unusually large, chestnut-colored wolf.
Little Red Riding Witch Moving Day
[Rosalynd] These last two days have left me with a lot to process. First, I had to mentally wrap my brain around my mother and her betrayal. I guess we never had much of a relationship, and she has always been about herself and her comfort, but sleeping with my boyfriend was a new low. I’m not 100% convinced that she didn’t mean for me to find out the way she was going about it. I think she gets some kind of twisted pleasure out of my pain. No, maybe not. That would mean she cared about ANYTHING related to me, and my history with her. While I was in the woods, she called me 5 times, left 3 voice mails, and 10 text messages. After listening to the first message, I decided to delete the rest. I’m thinking it might be time I got a new phone number. I have zero interest in speaking to her ever again. I’m going to need a very good therapist to help me work through the emotional garbage a lifetime of knowing her has dumped on me. Next, there is the issue about me being a witch, if I
Little Red Riding Witch Broken Compass
[Axel] “You have no idea what you are talking about,” this elf, Evander, chuckles. He then laughs, deep and resonant like a large copper bell. “I am not an...elf.” “LIAR!!” Conner howls, snapping his jaw, “We are not letting him near our mate! He smells disgusting!” He did smell disgusting. All Fae do. Like a patchouli-covered pine tree fucked a fireplace--too much ashes and spice. His scent is burning my synapses. My lungs are closing up as I struggle to swallow air that isn't perfumed with his funk. If he isn’
Little Red Riding Witch The End of The Road
[Rosalynd] "WATCH OUT!!!" I scream Axel stomps on the brakes and my body flies forward, my outstretched hands keeping me from slamming into the dashboard. The headlights of the car reflect off the surface of a solid stone wall that is far taller than the truck, at least twelve feet high, wrapping around this entire section of forest. It seems to go on forever in each direction. “What the fuck!” Axel screams as he jumps out of the truck to inspect any damage. I can hear him pat the hood, and kick the tires, but I don’t hear any cursing as he circles the truck, so I think everything is probably fine. Closing my eyes, I rub the back of my neck

Little Red Riding Witch See You Next Time
[Rosalynd] I’d like to say this is a happily ever after, and I guess in some ways it is. Girl meets boy. The boy turns out to be a wolf. The girl meets another boy, who is a witch, and then another boy who happens to be a leprechaun. They all fall in love and have a lovely life full of magic and love. But fairy tales only seem simple on the outside. And our story is still beginning. Evander has been busier than ever ruling his kingdom. He spends as much time as he can here, but Tara is calling. Soon, he may need to stay there for longer. I’ll miss having him with me every day, but I understand. And It’s not like I can’t be there with him. It’s just a simple flip of a coin. Axel has taken his new duties as Guardian of the Forest very seriously. His new abilities from his time as the void have made him useful when it comes to detecting warlock mischief. Yes, we are still dealing with the warlocks, as before, but with their leader gone, they are a lot less powerful. Gideon has resum
Little Red Riding Witch New Opportunities
[Evander] I’m not sure what Rosalynd is going to think when she sees this. I hope she takes it well. It’s been two months since our daughters were born and sometimes her emotions overtake her. “My Love,” I call out as I cross the threshold of our home in the woods. Today is Rosalynd’s day with me, and I can’t wait to come back to her from my dealings with the new council, even if I have some difficult news to share. My “surprise” is hidden in the satchel lying across my chest. She’s become such an intuitive witch since the babies were born that it is almost impossible to keep anything from her. She’ll likely sense the contents or see a vision or some other trick of the universe that will reveal everything before I open my mouth to tell her. Sometimes I wonder why any of us boys even bother to try. “Back here!” She responds from the kitchen, her voice strained with effort as if trying to lift something heavy. The kitchen is the last room I’d expect to find her in and prob
Little Red Riding Witch And Babies Make Family
[Rosalynd] The chaotic hubbub that my announcement created would be comical if it weren’t happening to me. Thankfully we didn’t have to worry about much, we already had a room set up for the birth. One of the advantages of being married into a family as magical as mine, I have no shortage of highly capable hands to help me in this new adventure. This birth will be a bit more exceptional for a few reasons. Firstly, I am not entirely a wolf or even a simple hybrid. We have no idea how being part chimera is going to change things. Second, I am carrying two children fathered by two men. None of us know how the DNA was passed or what to expect. Will they be witches, leprechauns, wolves, or something else? The only thing we know for certain is that they will NOT be human. Nor will their powers be weak. They are the children born of deities and avatars, crafted from the flesh of some of the most powerfully magical beings on Earth and in Faerie. Thankfully, the Eel River pack already h
Little Red Riding Witch Now and Forever
[Axel] Things have been different since we returned home. It has been months, and even though everything seems to have settled back to “normal,” there is no denying that things will never be quite the same again. Since the night I agreed to let the Void take over my body, I hear voices in my head. Sometimes I see things that others cannot see, even Rosie, our own personal goddess. I am myself, but I am also something else. Even Connor has been affected. After that night in the bunker, his coat had gone completely black, and his eyes glowed with the hot blue fire of the stars. He insists that he is an unchanged wolf, just better looking, but I would be a fool not to be disturbed by the changes. But today, I promised to put all of that aside for the sake of having one, perfect moment. “Are you ready,” Evander smiles from the doorway. His navy blue tie matches the color of my formal suit. Seeing me struggle with my own tie, he walks into the room and takes over for me. “Cousin
Little Red Riding Witch The White Sword
[Evander] I can feel the moment that Rosie gives into the Void. It feels like a cold chisel cracking into my heart, seeking to break the ties that bind me to her, that bind all three of us to her, leaving only the darkness within. Axel thinks that by welcoming the void in, he is getting his opportunity to be with her forever. But he isn't. The void does not need his soul once the darkness completes its work. As she kisses Axel, sealing their union, I know that even with the Universe’s blessing shining within me, I understand that If I do not act swiftly, we may all be tied to the void forever. Or worse, we could lose her to it. “We claimed her first and that bond cannot be broken so easily,” the Universe speaks to me, through me, filling me with the knowledge of what it sees as it fills my body, taking command. Reaching deep within myself, I can feel the truth of those words. The void tried to break us, but it failed. All three of us are still tied to her with shining cords o
Little Red Riding Witch The Gray Shield
[Gideon] His voice is like a cancer, rotting my soul from the inside out. Vincent. I thought I was free of him when he took Esther south when he left our coven behind. “You can never be free of me,” he laughs in my head. “We were never truly apart. Once you merge a soul with another, you are always connected. I was your coven leader. I will always be your coven leader.” “Not if I kill you,” I promise aloud, my body struggling against the magical restraints that Evander placed on me. His cackling laughter fades into the background. He is done with me for now. I can rest and regain my strength so that I can fight him off again next time. Unlike Slone, there is nothing that he can offer me that I want, so there is no way for him to find entry into the deepest parts of my soul. With Rosie and Evander in my life, I have more than I deserve. I wake up in darkness. The room is cold, colder than I expected it to be. It is like all the warmth vacated the room through every little cr
Little Red Riding Witch Dreams and Nightmares
[Rosalynd] I lie there frozen as I watch the black of his eyes expand to overcome the sclera. Wide and unblinking, they stare into my own and I find myself falling into them, losing all sense of where I am. My body is present in the here and now, but my mind and soul have moved on to someplace so vast that galaxies are formed and die around me as I watch. And I remember. I remember being pulled to a place like this once before, at the moment of my almost death, when I had to make a decision. And I stand in that darkness now, the room gone, only darkness remaining. A man steps forward. Whereas before the void had no shape, now that it has a form to inhabit, he takes the shape that has become familiar and comfortable and wears my fiancé's face as he waits for me to come to him. He is still dressed for a wedding, but the clothing doesn't seem out of place here. In his natural element, the void incarnate looks regal, his body radiating power in dark waves of energy. "Do you remember me
Little Red Riding Witch Dark Wedding
[Evander] By the time I reached his location, it was already too late. Axel fell through the opening in the sky, hungry arms grabbing him and drawing him in. It was as if the void itself took him. I have been flitting through the shadows, looking for a trace of him. Wherever he was taken does not lie within the shadow roads. My best guess is that he is somewhere inside one of these buildings. My worst guess is that he is somewhere I cannot follow, deep in the void itself, unable to reach any of us or call out for help. “If you are listening, Universe, we could use your help.” The universe never answers, at least not with words, but my instincts are telling me to head toward the smaller of the two buildings. I cannot blink beyond the walls without knowing what is on the other side. Which means I need to get close enough, undetected, to see where I might land. And then I need to search and keep going until I find him. Until I can find both of them. Because I am not leav
Little Red Riding Witch Not Quite Right
[Rosalynd] The creature wearing the face of my mate walks towards me. He is dressed for a wedding. Top hat, tailcoat, white gloves, and a silk cravat and dress shirt all in varying shades of black and gray, like fog at midnight. His chestnut-colored hair has been slicked back and put into a ponytail, a ribbon of black silk tying it back. None of this feels right. It isn’t Axel’s style. Even at our true wedding, I would more likely expect him to wear designer cowboy boots and a pair of dark denim. But that isn’t the part of him that bothers me the most. It was his eyes. Black as slate, cold and dark, they are the opposite of those warm, honey-brown orbs that stole my heart all those months ago. “What are you?” I hiss, struggling against my bonds. "And where is Axel? Where is my mate?" He places a gentle hand on my cheek, making a shushing sound as he tries to soothe me. “He's still here, watching you, protecting you. Even now, he fights to be by your side," his fingers re
