Meeting with the Mage
Last Updated:
2021-02-22 05:42:22The 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

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

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

“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

“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
Last Updated : 2021-02-24Mage 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

Maggie came into my room and sat on an armless chair in the corner while Ben and I sat on the bed. She’d closed the door behind her, which all seemed a little secretive to me, but I waited to hear what she had to say before I jumped to any conclusions.“Liam is a particularly odd fellow for a number of reasons,” she began.I cocked my head to the side to listen with interest. He hadn’t struck me as odd. Certainly not in the way that Sean had done so. “Why is that?”“Well, his father is a mage, and his mother is a shifter. He is the oldest of three children, so he’s a mage, but oddly enough, his brother and sister are both shifters.”Ben and I exchanged a glance. That was odd. “I thought only the oldest chi
Last Updated : 2021-02-24Mage of Wolves Twins
My mouth hung open for what seemed like five minutes after Maggie dropped her bombshell. Once I could move my head again, I turned and looked at Ben and saw a similar expression on his face. “Twins?” I repeated, looking back at Maggie. “Liam and Leo are identical twins?”“Yes,” she said with a nod. “And their sister is their triplet. It’s odd to have identical twins and a triplet, but then, for the second and third born children to be shifters…. Well, like I said, we have never heard of such a thing.”I was on the same page as her now, I thought. When she’d mentioned a mage and two shifters in the same family, I absolutely thought that was crazy odd but now that I understood that they weren’t just siblings but all kids that had come from the same womb at the same time made more sense to 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
