Attacked

He yelped and let go of her, falling to the ground. I didn’t have my powers ready in time to prevent it, but I did send a wave of what I hoped was healing light in his direction. Her flames didn’t last long as the white light left my hand and extinguished them. Sam fell to the ground in a heap. I wanted to see if he was okay, but I couldn’t at the moment. Verina was still coming my direction, Sam’s attempt at distracting her doing little to stop her.

Mage of Wolves Victory and Defeat
The pain from the wolf attacking me was overwhelming. My head was swimming as I tried to stay conscious. I’d never been in so much pain in my entire life. Thoughts of doing anything else, of trying to stand up or use my powers to help me, were far from the forefront of my mind as all I could think about was the excruciating pain of the bites and gashes from his claws.

“Grandma!” I cried, on my knees next to her. Already, my power pulsed through me as I gripped her hand and did what I could to try and revive her. There was blood all over her tattered red cloak. Her face was scratched deep, and her left arm was mauled so badly, it reminded me of a tube of hamburger from the market.

Everything that happened right after Grandma passed away was a blur. I remember Sam shifting into his human form and telling me not to worry, that the packs would take care of Grandma. Then, he was a wolf again, and he was taking me home on his back.Once we got to Grandma’s house, he was his human self again. By then, I was crying so hard, I was blinded by my

I felt like it should be raining. On TV, whenever someone dies, and there’s a funeral, everyone always wears black, and it’s raining. Even the umbrellas are black. People stand around a hole in the ground, weeping, as a coffin is slowly lowered inside. A priest crosses his chest, and everyone says amen.That’s not at all how Grandma’s funeral went.

I wanted to talk to Sam before I mentioned anything to my parents. Since my family had been served first, we were done eating while most of the other guests were still finishing up their lunches. Mom was conversing with some of Grandma’s friends, so I took the opportunity to sneak away.My pack was seated together at a table across the room. There were a few ot

I waited until we were back at Grandma’s house to tell my mom I had a solution to our problem. I told her I needed to talk to her, and we all went into the living room--Mom, Max, me, and Sam. Grayson didn’t need to be there. She’d just cause problems. Sam and I sat on the couch, about two feet apart. Mom sat in one of the extra chairs in the room, and Max sat down in Grandma’s knitting chair like it was no big deal. I cringed but didn’t say anything because I was trying to be as agreeable as possible. I wanted them to approve of my sugg

It seemed a little odd sitting on Ben’s swing with Sam, but that was the best place to sit in the yard and wait for Mom’s verdict, so that’s where we went. It wasn’t as if we were in a making out mood, anyway. The last thing I needed was Mom seeing us kissing and assuming that, if she granted Sam guardianship, he’d move in, and then we’d practically be married. It wouldn’t be like that. I wasn’t thinking he would never sleep over or anything like that, but I wasn’t getting married any time soon. Hell, I couldn’t even decide which of the three guys I wanted as my Alpha.

Max had to get back to work, but Mom stayed for a few days. I went with her to the school to meet the principal and sign the paperwork. Sam had to come, too, so that he could agree to be legally responsible for making sure I attended school and completed all of my work. The principal, Mr. Short, was nice enough to me, but he made it clear he thought Mom was making a mistake giving Sam any legal responsibility over me.

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
