How to Hate Someone
Last Updated:
2021-06-03 03:00:05I had to figure out who this new blonde girl was. She was driving me crazy. Every time I turned around, there she was, smiling at me like a freaking Jack-o-lantern. As soon as I had a chance, I pulled Raven aside. “What is up with you, Harlow?” she asked me. “You’re so intense tonight!”
“That girl that Ben’s been dancing with, the blonde. Who is she?” I was glaring at her as I spoke, and she had the audacity to smile right at me.
“I have no idea,” Raven said. ‘Why do you care? It’s not like they’re dating.”
“No, I don’t care that she’s with Ben. I mean, I do, but that’s not why I’m asking. She keeps giving me this creepy grin, and I think there’s something weird about her, that’s all.”<

I let go of Sam and went off with Raven so that she could tell me what was going on with the creepy blonde girl. I hope that’s what she needed to talk to me about, anyway. If it was something else, I was probably going to regret asking. “What’s going on?” I asked her.“Okay, so that girl’s name is Hannah. She hardly speaks, and she said that she’s new. That’s like all she’d say. It’s so weird. I asked Ben about her, and he said that she’d come with Jimmy. So I asked Jimmy about her, and he said that she didn’t come with him. He thought she’d come with Ben. So I told Ben that, and he just sort of shrugged it off, but I think there’s something… creepy about her.”“Right?” I said. “That’s exactly what I said! Weird.” The last girl I met wh

“What the actual hell?” I asked, squinting across the room to look at this Hannah chick’s mouth. I looked around for one of my packmates to see if they were seeing what I was seeing, too, but there was no one nearby. “Damn it. Where are my friends when I need them?” They were all over by the table where we’d been sitting, chatting it up while I was staring at some sort of a fang-toothed interloper who couldn’t stop grinning at me.I turned back to look at Hannah, but whatever I saw before was gone. This just wasn’t right. I had to be able to trust my eyes, and my eyes told me she had some really sharp teeth a minute ago. So what happened to them?I found myself walking across the dance floor on my way to speak to her when suddenly Sam was in front of me. I almost ran into him but was glad I didn’t because I

The dance floor at the prom erupted in screams and running as Jimmy staggered around with his hand pressed to his neck. Hannah, the girl who had just bitten the bejesus out of him, was still standing where she’d been when the incident had occurred, with bright crimson blood running down her chin.She had bit the hell out of that poor guy.I got up out of my seat, flying over the crowd, and landed in front of her. “What the hell are you?” I demanded. She was still smiling, but rather than just the two fangs I’d seen earlier, she had a whole mouth full of razor sharp teeth. They were long and pointy and there seemed to be more than one row of them. If Jaws the shark could fit in a ballgown, this is what his mouth would look like.Hannah did not answer me, but slowly, she began to change f

Prom night had not gone as expected. Just as the night of the homecoming dance had not gone as planned. Thankfully, this was the last dance we would have in high school, so maybe there would be less opportunities for craziness to ensue.Somehow, I doubted that, though. Craziness seemed to follow me wherever I went.After the wood nymph/vampire girl attacked Jimmy, and I made sure that he was fine, we got the blood cleaned up off of the floor, and debated what to do next.The chaperones had all scattered when the kids did, so there wasn’t anyone left in the gym other than my pack and a few of Jimmy’s friends who hadn’t run off and abandoned him. I was exhausted so I went over to the table where we had been sitting earlier and collapsed in one of the chairs.

It was quiet in the limo on the way home. None of us knew what to say about anything that had happened that night. I had blood on my clothes. Ben did, too, but he didn’t ride back with us. He’d shifted as soon as he got off school property, and Joshua brought his suit home.We had six weeks of school left. Graduation was coming up. I’d already applied at my online school of choice and been accepted. But I couldn’t help thinking about how this wood nymph business had the possibility of interrupting all of that.I was planning on going to Europe over the summer, too, to try to win back my ancestral homes. I just didn’t know how I’d have time to do that if I had to keep fighting monsters in my back yard.My thoughts just kept returning to how in the world did we get rid o

Sam never backs down from a challenge. I’d asked him to show me that he loved me, so that’s exactly what he did. He scooped me up off of the couch and carried me up the two flights of stairs from the movie room in the basement to my bedroom. Once we were in my room with the door closed, he laid me down on the bed and kissed me in a way that made my toes curl. I began to peel his suit off of him, pulling his jacket off first and then losing his tie. I broke away from his mouth long enough to take his tie off of him, and then his mouth was on mine again, our tongues tangled together. My fingers fumbled with the buttons of his shirt as his hand slipped beneath my shirt. I managed to get his buttons undone and tugged his shirt out of his pants as his mouth went to my neck. I traced the defined muscles of his pecs down to his abdomen as he pulled my shirt off over

The next morning, I woke up with Sam’s arm still around me. That was a rarity. Most of the time, whenever I fell asleep with Sam, he’d be gone by the time I woke up. The fact that he’d stayed with me all night spoke to me almost as much as the fact that he’d carried me up to my bed and made love to me when I’d asked him to show me that he loved me.I rolled over and met his gaze. “Good morning,” he said, brushing my hair off of my forehead. “How did you sleep?”“Good,” I told him, smiling up at him. “Did you sleep?”He nodded. “A little bit. Mostly, I watched you sleep.”That might’ve sounded creepy coming from anyone else, but it made me smile at him. I leaned up and kissed h

“Hi, Jimmy,” I said, keeping my distance from him. “How are you feeling?”“Better now that you’re here,” he said with a broad smile. “It’s time to go home.”“Yep,” I said. “I heard you the first time. And where, exactly, is that, Jimmy? Where’s this home you keep speaking of?”“You know.” His eyes focused somewhere across the room, a vague expression on his face. “Where the rainbows live.”He had to be talking about that other realm, the one I’d dreamt about, the one that Melanie had been temporarily sucked into by Harold. “That’s not your home, Jimmy. You are already home. This is your home,” I told him.

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
