Make It Blue
While the rest of the pack was at home wrapping presents and listening to Christmas music, probably sipping hot chocolate and eating fresh sugar cookies, Ben was driving me over to Francis Flamingo’s house so I could put the mage in her place. The entire way there, my hands were in fists as I seethed with anger. It wasn’t just that she had been so brazen as to try and attempt to mark my home as her territory, which is a huge threat against my pack and my forest, it was a disrespectful insult against my family, particularly my grandma, and I just wasn’t going to stand for it.
Ben pulled his truck to a stop outside of her house, which was the same shade of sickening pink that she had colored our house with. As I reached for the door handle, his hand came down on my arm. “Are you sure you want to do this, Harlow?”

Mage of Wolves Wrap It Up
Ben didn’t say a word about the war I’d started with Francis Flamingo on the way home. Not that I’d struck the first blow, but I was sure he was thinking that what I’d done was unnecessary, and I should've left well enough alone. He might’ve been right. After all, she’d already shown she had no problem attacking my home. Who knew what might come next? If she was half as crazy as her daughter, it would be a problem. I hoped my threat of getting Fionna kicked out of the academy would be taken seriously, but with unstable people it is hard to know what they might be thinking.I answered a few questions about what I’d done when I got home, but most of the pack was preoccupied with present wrapping, so we concentrated on that. Melanie had the great idea of color-coding the gifts by family with different kinds of wrapping paper. Since we had enough varietie

“Who is that?” Melanie asked, obviously seeing my face and knowing there was something wrong. I clearly didn’t want to answer my ringing phone.I scowled and said, “It’s Mage Jaye.” Both Raven and Melanie made faces, their eyes popping out of their heads, as they backed toward the house. I didn’t blame them for not wanting to stick around and hear how this conversation was going to go.I answered the call, “Hello?” hoping I was wrong to be alarmed and the head of the council of mages was actually calling with some good news. Since I couldn’t even imagine what that might be, I didn’t hold my breath waiting for her to tell me everything was rosy.“Harlow,” she began, her tone wiping away even the faintest traces of hope I’d held out fo
Mage of Wolves Gone Mage
“What do you mean Fionna’s not there?” I asked, sinking down onto the porch in disbelief. I couldn’t understand how what Mage Jaye was telling me could possibly be right. The thought of Fionna on her own, wandering around the streets of Paris, causing all sorts of chaos and mischief, made my stomach tighten into a knot. I visualized the evening news reports with videos or her lighting people on fire or picking people up with her electrical storms. This was not good, not at all.Mage Jaye replied, “We couldn’t keep her here, Harlow. She was too dangerous to herself and others, so we sent her to a place where she’d be safe and where she might be able to get some of the training that she needs, once she starts to settle down.”I began to breathe a little easier now that I knew that Mage Jaye hadn’t lost Fionna.

“What’s going on?” Melanie asked me as I put my phone in the pocket of my blue jeans. “That was Jaye?”“Is Fionna all right?” Raven asked before I could answer the first question.“Fionna has been sent away from the School for Mages,” I told them. Both of them just stared at me with their mouths hanging open for a long time. That’s exactly how I felt. “Her parents are about to get on a plane and fly to France to see her, and she’s not there.”“She’s not even in the country?” Melanie asked.I shook my head. “Nope. She’s in Portugal.”“Wow,” Raven said, her hands on her hips. “Man, that Mage Jaye h
Mage of Wolves Freddy
It didn’t take long for Mr. Flamingo to turn around and see me. His face melted into a scowl. Obviously, he knew who I was. Not that there were probably too many people in town who would’ve rode into his yard on the back of a unicorn. I was down and walking toward him when he asked, “What the hell do you want now? Unless you’re here to fix our house….”Before he finished, I raised my hand and turned the house back into the bright pink color it had been before. Easy enough. He continued to glower at me, as if he hadn’t been expecting that at all. “Mr. Flamingo, I’ve been sent by Mage Jaye.” His expression didn’t change. I had to take that to mean he had no idea who Mage Jaye was. I cleared my throat. “Head of the Council of Mages.” He nodded, still glaring at me. “She wanted me to deliver a message to you and Mrs. Flamingo.
Mage of Wolves Angry Mage
“What do you mean Mr. and Mrs. Flamingo coming to Paris anyway?”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
Mage of Wolves Christmas, Christmas Time is Here!
“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
