Dinner is Served
I’d always wanted to see the Eiffel Tower. Seeing it all lit up at night was even better, especially with the wind gently blowing falling leaves from the late autumn trees across the lawn around the historic setting. It was breathtaking, something I’ll never forget.
We had time before our reservations at a famous restaurant near the tower to go up inside of the landmark. The lights were on by the time we reached the top, and all around the city, buildings were turning on their lights, creating little pinpricks of white against the backdrop of the coming night. For someone who has magic in her life on a daily basis, it takes a lot to impress me by saying something is magical, but in this case, I truly felt like that this was a magical experience.
Ben’s hand was warm in mine as we reached the top of the Eiffel Tower and stepped out on the

The next morning, we were awoken to a tapping on the door that was far too cheery for whatever time it was. I glanced at the clock on the nightstand as Ben got up to get the door, pulling his jeans on as he went, and realized it was almost 10:00. So it wasn’t that early, but it still felt far too early to be awoken.I couldn’t see Maggie’s face when he pulled the door open, but I could tell by her tone that she was surprised to see Ben, shirtless, at my door. “Well, good morning, Mr. Peterson,” she said as I struggled to pull on something more appropriate than Ben’s shirt, which is what I’d put on the night before right before I fell dead to the world. “Is Miss Nightingale… awake?” I wondered if she might say, “here,” as in, had we switched rooms or something, but I was dressed now and made my way over to the door, smoothing my hair a
Mage of Wolves Meeting with the Mage
The sound of Maggie’s heels echoed off of the marble floor as we followed her to Mage Jaye’s office. This was a different place than the one we’d been in the day before. I had a feeling it was just going to be the head mage and myself in a room alone, and my hands were shaking because of it. I hadn’t even brought my staff because they seemed to think it was odd, and I was pretty sure I didn’t need it in order to use my powers, but the forest had gifted it to me, so I felt a little odd walking into this meeting without it.We walked back to the offices Maggie had taken us to the day before, when we’d first arrived. The secretary, Daphne, was there, as she had been the day before. She greeted us warmly. “Hello, dearies!” she said to all three of us, hopping up to kiss Maggie’s cheek. “Mage Jaye is in her office and all ready for you, love.” Sh
Mage of Wolves Louvre it to Ben
“So… you’re sure you don’t want to do this?” Ben asked me as we walked along a sidewalk in one of the historic districts of Paris. We’d already explored a bunch of touristy sights, like the Arc de Triomphe and everything near the Eiffel Tower that we hadn’t gotten to see the day before. We were planning on going to the Louvre first, but I wanted to see some of the chateaus so we were casually walking around town, looking at whatever our feet took us past.He was asking about staying in Paris and going to school, as Mage Jaye had offered. “No, I’m sure I don’t want to do it,” I said, letting out a loud sigh. “I can’t even think about staying here with all of you so far away. It would never work for me.”He was holding my hand and squeezed it tightly in his grip. “I don&rsq
Mage of Wolves Presentation
I tried to focus on the empty seats. My rational mind told me that the auditorium wasn’t packed full. There were some seats that were empty, after all. But whenever I glanced around, all I could see was excited faces, faces with eyes, eyes that were looking at me. I sat in a chair next to the other council members on stage, a microphone in the center of the stage in front of us. The student body was filtering in, staff members directing them where to sit. I tried not to think about just how many of them there were, but the doors stayed open for so long, teenagers and college-aged kids filtering in, chatting quietly as they took the next available seat without skipping many, that I was beginning to think that there were more students who attended this school than I had originally realized.Ben was sitting in the front row next to Maggie. They were almost directly in front of me. I had no idea who the
Mage of Wolves Meeting the Student Council
Ben met me backstage. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed me on the cheek (I figured the only reason he didn’t seek out my lips was because all of the council members had followed us out now, and he didn’t want to embarrass me, not that it would have.) “That was great, Harlow,” he said. “The Clydesdale horse was amazing.”“Thanks,” I said with a smile. “I didn’t want to be an elephant again.”“It blows my mind that you can be anything you want to be,” he said, taking my hand. “I can’t wait until we get back home so you can be a wolf and come run around with us.”It hadn’t crossed my mind that that was something I might want to do, but seeing how happy the thought of it made him, it brought a smile to my face, to
Mage of Wolves Questions
“So… how did you find out you’re a mage?” Kayla asked me, her friendly smile making me feel slightly better despite the fact that my boyfriend was acting like he was ready to shift into his wolf form right here, dash across the table, and tear the blond, good looking, British, male mage across from me into a thousand pieces.“Well,” I began, “it took me a while to figure it all out. I mean… no one ever just came right out and told me. It was like a mystery I had to solve.”“Really?” Liam asked, his blue eyes wide. “That’s crazy!”“Yeah, all of us have known that we were mages since we were little children,” Lluvia said.I shrugged. “My father refused to accept what he
Mage of Wolves Love is in the Argument
“You’re telling me that you think Liam is the guy you saw in your vision, the night Verina died?” I asked Ben, once I could form words again. His confession of why he was so upset at Liam Finch, the member of the student council we’d just met with, still had me in shock.“Not just Verina,” Ben said, shaking his head as if I was an impetuous child who simply couldn’t grasp the concept he kept trying to present to me as the gospel truth. “I died that night, too, Harlow.”I stared at him for a second and then decided to put the second part of what he said on the back burner for now and concentrate on the first part of what he was saying. “You think that Liam is the person you saw me all smiley and happy with in your vision, right?” Ben nodded. “But… I definitely didn’t imprint on
Mage of Wolves Interruption
“Harlow? Ben?” Maggie’s voice filtered through the door, and I breathed a sigh of relief, even though she hadn’t picked the best time to interrupt us. At least it was her and not some blond Adonis from Britain come to prove me wrong about my imprinting testimony.I got up and opened the door. “Hi there!” Maggie said. She was smiling brightly, as if she hadn’t just heard us arguing, but I was pretty sure she had. The look in her eyes was slightly uncomfortable, like she thought we might launch into another disagreement right in front of her. “I just have the flight information for tomorrow for you.”She handed over an itinerary. I glanced at it and saw it was basically the reverse of what we’d done to get there. We’d be leaving around noon the next day. I also noticed that it said three passengers
