Little Shifter Gone
“Damn it, Brice! Just tell me who it is!” I shouted, throwing myself out of bed. I started to pull clothes out of my drawer like I was a normal person who needed to change clothes before I went to help, but then I remembered I’d have to change my shape to get there quickly anyway, and once I landed I could just change my clothes into anything I wanted to wear--like a long silver ball gown.
“It’s Mel,” he said. “It was crazy! It all happened so fast.”
“Wait--Melanie fell into a portal in the pink tree? By herself?”
He nodded. “We were going to go after her, but we couldn’t. Not all of us, of course, but Alec and me. And Ben. But the tree wouldn’t open up for us. So we are hoping with your magic you might be able to get it to cooperate. Maybe you can get her back without anyone having to go in there after her.”

Mage of Wolves I'd Like to Phone a Friend
I had no idea what to do about Melanie’s disappearance or the new revelation that there are apparently such a thing as wood nymphs, which I thought perhaps someone should’ve told me about prior to me being introduced to one. Standing there in the middle of the forest, in the middle of the night, on a school night, mind you, I was growing more and more frustrated by the second.I finally decided I needed help with this, so I materialized a cell phone and called Maggie. She was the only person I could think of who might be able to help me, and I figured it was the middle of the day in France so at least I wouldn’t be waking her up.She answered pretty quickly, probably recognizing that it had to be urgent for me to be calling her at that time. “Hi, Harlow. What’s going on?” she asked, a tinge of nervousness in her voice.
Mage of Wolves Harold
“Harlow, please be careful,” Sam said. “You are all emotionally worked up, and I am afraid you’re going to end up getting sucked into that tree the same way Mel did, and then what are we going to do?”I stepped away from him, rolling my eyes as I went. I just needed some space. “It’s fine, Sam. It’ll be fine. Maggie gave me some things to try, so I’m going to try them.”He shook his head but left me alone. I surveyed the rest of my pack. They were all patiently waiting, in their human forms, which told me that they were in support of me doing what I could to try and open this portal back up.I had never tried to change the color of something this way before. I figured it couldn’t be too difficult if Francis could do it, so I concentrated on the trunk
Mage of Wolves Threads
The portal was closed, but I didn’t know for how long. Part of me wanted the monster to just come right on through now so that I could deal with him and have it over with. But I knew I wasn’t anywhere near full strength at the moment, so I wouldn’t be able to defeat him that easily, and there was no one else around with the power to help stop him. Except for Francis and the hell if I was ever going to ask her to help me with anything ever again.“Melanie, how are you?” Joshua was asking as he sat on the ground with her, his arms around her.“I’m okay,” she said. “Just scared. And my leg is sore.” She was shaking, her hair messy, and sweat at her hairline. She was also covered in some sort of a light dusting of green powder. The green was the same pukish color as the wood nymph.
Mage of Wolves Worried
Keeping my eyes open at school the next day was almost as impossible as it had been to keep them open while Sam was taking me home. I was guzzling coffee by the gallon, and going to the bathroom every half an hour or so, which was annoying. At least none of my teachers refused to let me go.During Ms. Piper’s drama class, Brice and I struggled to work on our reenactment of the dragon fight and the rescuing of our friends from the evil mages. Brice wasn’t tired like me. Wolf shifters could survive on just a couple of hours a night. I was envious of him for that at the moment. But he was distracted. I’m pretty sure Brice should’ve been diagnosed with ADHD a long time ago. Maybe he wouldn’t still be in school a year after he should’ve graduated if he’d gotten some help focusing when he was younger. He’s super smart, but when he’s in a mood like this,
Mage of Wolves Full Threats
When people are angry, we say that they “march.” As in, “I was so angry, I marched right over to Francis Flamingo’s house and gave her what for!” Whatever that means. Well, I didn’t march over to her house, but I did change myself into a falcon and fly over there as fast as I could. This woman kept tampering with my life, and if she didn’t knock it off, I was going to make some permanent changes to hers. I wasn’t sure why she was even still here. Her daughter was gone. She didn’t need me anymore. Why didn’t she just move along? I transformed back into a human and pounded on the door. When she opened it, she didn’t look surprised at all to see that it was me. “Harlow. Delighted to see you as always. What brings me the pleasure?” She stood there with her arms folded, leaning against the door jamb like m
Mage of Wolves Remembering the Realm
I was fuming after my conversation with Francis. I flew back home, but I tried to take my time and calm down before I had to face my pack. They didn’t deserve to face my wrath, but they also didn’t need to know just how angry I was. I’ve had teachers who have bad things happen at home and bring that to class with them, and it’s never pleasant. I didn’t want to be like that.After I was pretty sure I was calm enough to pretend to be completely calm, I headed home and walked into the house with a smile on my face.A fake smile, but a smile nonetheless.I headed straight downstairs to talk to Melanie. I needed to know more about this realm. It certainly looked like the one I had seen in that dream right before I was awoken to find out that Melanie had been sucked into a portal, so I wanted
Mage of Wolves Getting Ready for Prom
I was a high school student by day and a wood nymph guardian at night. While I wasn’t actively hunting this bastard, I was guarding against him. Looking for him at every turn. For the next few weeks, my wolves and I spent hours at night checking to see if there was any indication that Harold had left the forest that Francis was in the process of claiming and spreading out either in the town or into our forest.I had a feeling I was going to need to do more to combat this monster than what I was doing, though. I mean, Francis had essentially told me to stay out of “her” woods, but it didn’t belong to her. It wasn’t her ancestral lands or anything. If that forest could give her energy and powers the way that mine could me, I didn’t think it was a good idea for her to be so powerful, but then, there wasn't a lot I could do to stop her and also focus on school.
Mage of Wolves Who's That?
The mood was light as we made our way to the prom. Everyone was laughing and joking around. My heart was a little heavy as I thought about Ben, but Sam’s good at making me laugh, so I was distracted.We were almost to the high school when something else occurred to me. “The last time we all went to a dance, it didn’t end up being a very good night.” I meant all of us except for Sam, of course.“It was a great night until Sam entered the picture,” Brice said with a teasing tone.“Don’t worry. I only have eyes for you tonight, Harlow Nightingale,” he said with a flirty wink in that voice he uses when he’s trying to be so charming that it’s funny.I couldn’t help but smile, but the feeling I had in my s
