I considered setting the phone down as Mage Jaye went off on a tirade. She was clearly upset that I had not accomplished the task she’d assigned to me. She went on and on for about five minutes, shouting at me about how this was outrageous, that the Flamingos simply had to stay home, that she wasn’t about to let them visit Fionna in her current setting, and enough other things that I couldn’t have responded to even if she would’ve given me a few seconds to interject that it was doing me no good to hold the phone anyway. As it was, I had it away from my ear. She was so loud when she was angry. I had a feeling she might burst my eardrum.
Eventually, she paused, and at first, I thought she expected me to reply, but when she started up again, I realized she&rs

Mage of Wolves Christmas Eve
We did our best to concentrate on Christmas. It was hard when I had no idea what was going on with the Flamingos or with Mage Jaye and the School for Mages, but I was able to put all of that behind me and enjoy the holiday with my friends and my family.Sharing Christmas Eve with my parents, my sister, and both of our boyfriends was different. As we sat around the Christmas tree in their new, small apartment, I thought back to the year before, how I’d had no idea that that would be the last Christmas I spent in the home we’d lived in for so many years. If I had known that I wouldn’t be back there this year, maybe I would’ve savored the moments a little bit more. Maybe I would have paid a little bit more attention to the subtleties of our family, the way we interact with one another. The way Max brushes my mom’s hair over her shoulder and smiles at her. The way Gray’s eye

“Wake up, Harlow! It’s Christmas!”Brice’s voice sounded like a little kid as he shouted at me, right before a pillow knocked me in the head. I winced and opened my eyes. It didn’t hurt, but it was more than a little annoying. I couldn’t believe someone our age could be so excited about Christmas, but then I also remembered he said he’d never really had much of a Christmas before.I groaned and sat up. “Hit me again, and you’re gonna spend Christmas inside of the chimney,” I told him, but I was smiling. He was standing there in the matching Christmas pajamas we’d all gotten, red pants and a green top with little white candy canes all over them, with his hair all messed up like he’d actually been asleep for once, basically bouncing up and down with excitement. The room was barely even

“What is that?” I asked, staring at the piece of jewelry in the box Ben had open in front of my face. I couldn’t really process what was happening, at least, not the way my mind wanted to process it. From here, it looked like he was asking me to marry him. He had a ring box, he had a ring, he had an expectant look on his face…. I loved Ben--but I wasn’t sure I was ready for this yet.“It’s a ring,” he said, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.“Yeah, I know that,” I said, finally blinking after about a minute of not doing so. “I mean… what is it for?”“Oh, you put it on your finger,” he said, teasing me. “It’s jewelry, Harlow.”I cocked my head to t

When I was a little girl, I used to absolutely hate the day after Christmas. It seemed like the worst day of the year. All of the magic was gone, and we would have to wait a whole 365 days until it was Christmas again. The older I got, the less exciting Christmas became, and it didn’t really bother me that much anymore. It was just another day. However, the day after Christmas was hard for Brice since this had been the first year he’d actually gotten any presents or gotten to celebrate. He was mopey all day, even when Raven heated up the leftovers from the day before and set them out for us.“Brice, what’s the matter?” Melanie asked, biting into a piece of turkey. “You look so sad.”“I’m okay,” he said. “I just wish it was still Christmas, that’s all.”

“What’s the matter, Sam?” I asked, once I realized he really was standing in front of me, and it wasn’t just a part of the meditation I had been experiencing for the last few hours.Sam let out a loud sigh and sat down beneath a tree near where I was sitting on the stump I usually occupied whenever I was communicating with the forest. He shook his head slowly from side to side but didn’t say anything. I continued to stare at him, waiting.It took a long time before he finally opened his mouth. When he did, he was waxing philosophical, and I didn’t know what to make of any of it. “You ever think maybe this damn universe don’t know what it’s talking about? Like maybe all of this is just in our heads, and we aren’t really being controlled by anything?”

I’m not sure how long I sat there staring at Sam with my mouth hanging open. I didn’t know how to respond to what he’d just said. I wasn’t sure there was a fitting response. A wave of emotions rolled through me. Confusion, followed by shock, followed by hurt, but by the end, after I’d had a few seconds to process, the feeling that settled in my gut was nothing but anger.“What?” I spat at him, shooting up from the stump so that I was standing in front of him. “What in the world are you talking about, Sam?” I demanded. “You think that Ben and I aren’t meant to be together?”“Jeeze, Harlow, calm down,” he said, shaking his head. He didn’t get up. He just sat there, shaking his head slowly like I was out of line. “I’m sorry to upset you, but, yeah, I don’t t

Ben was sitting on the couch watching the television with Joshua, downstairs, when I came in. He didn’t look perturbed at all, but then, it takes a lot to bother him--unless, of course, someone says the words, “Finch Twins.” I sat down next to him, and he took my hand, but he didn’t say anything until the show they were watching was over. Then, Joshua said he was going to go check on Melanie, leaving us alone.“What’s up?” Ben asked me, knowing there was something going on. I hesitated to tell him because I didn’t want to rat Sam out and make Ben mad if he really didn’t know, but I had the feeling he did know, and he was just waiting for me to tell him.“Do you know what’s going on with Sam?” I asked him.Ben nodded his head. “Don’t

Talking to Starla was the last thing on earth I wanted to do, but I knew it had to be done. I was the leader of the pack, after all, which meant it was my responsibility to make sure that all of the members were doing what they were supposed to do and being kind to one another. I could hardly justify letting Starla get away with the way she was treating Sam, even if they were in a relationship, and it was theoretically being nosy to bud my way into it. She had some questions to answer for me as her mage and Luna.I headed over to Sam and Starla’s house the next morning, having decided not to mess with it that night, after I’d spoken to Joshua about the situation with the baby. I wanted to sleep on it and see if my mind was any clearer in the morning. It wasn’t, but that just assured me that I needed to talk to Starla.I hoped Sam wasn&rs

Mage of Wolves Epilogue
There’s a comfy chair right next to the fireplace in the main living area of Brookstone. It has become my favorite place to sit. I can sit there for hours and do absolutely nothing but stare out the window at the beautiful forest and sparkling lake. It’s amazing to me to think how far I’ve come in just a year and a few months. I don’t just sit around and do nothing, though. I haven’t had to use my magic to fight off any other mages or shifters since we destroyed Grimly Grouse and his evil minions, but I do use my magic sometimes for other things, like producing presents for my friends or making mythical creatures to entertain us. Brookstone is as beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside. Part of that is the fact that we modernized it and redecorated a lot of the rooms. We wanted all of the modern conveniences we were used to, but we didn’t ruin the amb
Mage of Wolves The Big Bad Wolf
My plan had been pretty simple. I’d bust into Brookstone, make the other mages and any shifters that were there think that the house was on fire, and I’d run them out to where my pack mates were waiting to take them down.I had no idea one of my pack members had her own idea of what should happen then. I guess I should have. It isn’t as if she hasn’t shocked me enough times in the past for me to expect Fionna to do something… unexpected.The mages in Grimley’s pack came streaming out of the house. Most of them went out the front door because I’d started the alleged fire in the kitchen, which was in the back of the house, on the east side. Fionna, being the tricky mage that she is, had opened a portal right on the other side of the front door so that every single one of the mages who ran out that exit sprinted right int
Mage of Wolves Where There's Smoke, There's Probably Fire
I didn’t bother to get a ride back to Brookstone the next day. It was clear that no one wanted to drive out there anyway, and it wasn’t as if it was a necessity. We had other ways of getting there, after all.I volunteered to change my wolves into birds so they could fly with us, but all of them passed on that. They said they weren’t used to flying and were afraid they’d fall out of the sky or something. Like I’d let that happen. I’d rolled my eyes, but since most of the area around where we’d stayed the night before was woodsy and rural, we decided it would be okay for them to walk out into the woods and shift there. The rest of us would fly over.My wolves weren’t going to be entering the property until after I knew the situation in the house. Once I knew whether we were on the defensive or the offensive, I woul
Mage of Wolves Plans
It was difficult to get rooms with enough beds for all of us, but my wolves decided they could always shift into their wolf forms and sleep on the floor, and since most of them didn’t sleep much anyway, we went with that. I was definitely going to be sleeping that night, though. I was so tired, I could barely keep my eyes open to discuss the plan for the next day. Fighting mages is hard work--apparently.“So what is our plan for tomorrow?” Kaylee asked. We were gathered in the room she and I were sharing, all of us sitting on the beds, the floor, and the small sitting area. “I take it we’re going right back there since you wanted to stay so close, Harlow.”“Yeah, we need to go right back over there and take care of things once and for all,” I said. “We just need a plan that will get rid of Grimly Grouse as s
Mage of Wolves Splitting Hairs
With the ground shaking beneath our feet, the mages lifted themselves up into the air. I pulled up my wolves, too, but that didn’t help save my house. The thought of Grimly Grouse destroying my family home was enough to make me want to set his hair on fire.The ground was cracking beneath us now, some of them were at least a foot across. The idea of one of my people dropping inside of one of them was enough to make me want to fly everyone out of there and back to our rental right away.“Kaylee,” I shouted, wanting to try to fix the problem beneath us and keep my wolves out of danger. “Can you take over for me?”“You mean… float them?” she asked. “All of them?”“We can all help,” Liam said from the o
Mage of Wolves Winning or Losing?
Looking around at my mages, I tried to determine who I needed to help and who was okay on their own. Liam was taking on a large male mage with a nose ring and the appearance of horns coming out of his bald head. I assumed those were placed there by magic, and he didn’t really have horns growing out of his head, but it was difficult to know for sure. “Give it up, Harlow!” I heard Grimly shout from far behind the line of advance. “I have more reserves. You cannot win.” It was difficult for me to keep my eye on this brute that was about to knock Liam out and respond to the maniac in the back. I decided to ignore Grouse and concentrate on Liam’s predicament. I was fairly far away from the fight, and there were other engagements going on between me and Liam, but I couldn’t let that stop me. The devil guy with the horn
Mage of Wolves The Heat is On
The mages from Brookstone were slowly walking toward us, their long cloaks in a rainbow of colors not even moving from the wind they made, their steps were so even and slow. I stared at them for a long moment, trying to determine what the best thing to do was. A quick estimate told me that there were probably about thirty of them, which meant my team was outnumbered about five to one as mages went. The wolves would be able to help a little, but not much. They were mostly there to fight off any wolves that came our way, and Grimly Grouse had stopped using those, pulling out the big guns instead.We really only had two choices. We could stand there and fight and probably get annihilated because we were outnumbered so badly, or we could run away, regroup, and figure out when and how we should come back. I was really starting to lean toward Plan B, but when I looked at the faces of my packmates, I could tell t
Mage of Wolves Grimly Grouse At Last
I took advantage of the fearful flicker I’d seen in Grimley Grouse’s eyes and hit him with a bolt of power before he had much time to expect it. He got his hands up, but it wasn’t enough to completely deflect it. I ended up hitting him hard enough to knock him backward almost to the edge of the stream. The other mages around him took a few seconds to stare in shock before they remembered they had powers and could possibly do something to help him.They weren’t going to be able to help him, though. My mages were all ready, so before any of the red cloaked mages could hit me with their powers, mine had their hands up, shooting rays of light to counteract the ones directed at me. I watched the magic around me bend and shift, redirecting back the way it was coming. A few of the red mages were knocked off balance, but none of them went flying the way that Grouse did, probably because mos
Mage of Wolves Accidental Battle
I heard the first sounds of battle coming from my left, to the southwest of the house, but I couldn’t tell who it was that was caught up first by the wolves coming from Brookstone. I thought that Raven and Tony had been the furthest to the south, but I wasn’t certain. I decided I should fly over there and have a look. Of course, by the time I got over there, there was a good chance the rest of my wolves would be under attack as well since we’d seen the wolves shooting through the forest at an incredible rate spread out in a line. As I landed, I heard the sounds of battle echoing across the forest as Grimly Grouse’s wolves collided with mine. This wasn’t going to be pretty. I changed back into my mage form as soon as my feet touched the ground and immediately fired a
