One, Two Punch
“Try to calm down,” Melanie said to me as she stood, her hands up in front of her. I supposed she could tell I was about to come unhinged. Her eye was blue and swollen, her lip split. It looked painful. It looked… wrong. “I’m okay.”
“You don’t look okay!” I spat, not angry with her, of course, but angry with the monste

Mage of Wolves Uneasy Conversation
When I was done eating lunch, I sat outside for a few minutes, letting the autumn sun warm my face. I had two tasks to complete that day, and I didn’t want to do either one of them. But it was my responsibility, as the leader of this pack, to make sure all of my wolves were taken care of, and even if Melanie hadn’t been a pack member when Mr. Hudson put his hands on her, she was still my friend. There was no way in the world that I could possibly let this go.
Mage of Wolves Hudson On Notice
Ben drove me to Mr. Hudson’s house later that afternoon, when Melanie was pretty sure he’d be home. Tony had come by and got his belongings earlier, when the owner was not at the residence. But as Ben’s truck rocked and bumped along the rutted driveway, I could tell in my gut the old man was there now.I hadn’t brought my staff. I didn’t think
Mage of Wolves Things Change
The weekend was a whirlwind of getting everyone moved in and settled with at least a degree of privacy. Ben ended up moving into my room so that Joshua and Brice could share the dining room we’d turned into a bedroom. Tony moved into Raven’s room. I could tell he wasn’t ready for that, but Raven doesn’t like to take no for an answer. Melanie was camping out in the living room. I had a discussion with the contractors and asked them how much longer it would take for the addition to be ready and was told a couple more weeks. I wished I could just magic it into being done, but I wanted to make sure everything was done right, and there’s no guarantee that woul
Mage of Wolves Weird Lunch
“Well, this is awkward,” Brice joked as he pulled out the chair next to me at lunch. He was implying that it was weird that Ben was on one side of me and he was on the other, but there really wasn’t anything awkward about it. I laughed, and Ben greeted him. It wasn’t Ben who still had a problem with Brice--it was Sam. So when Starla came over to take the final vacant chair at our table, she was forced to sit between Brice and Melanie.
Mage of Wolves Additionally
Over the next several weeks, the addition to the house was completed, which was amazing. We’d added four more bedrooms, and all of them were larger than the original ones. Raven and Tony moved into one of them so they’d have more room, and more privacy, since the addition had better insulation than the older part of the house. Sam moved into one of the other three bedrooms. I figured that was so that, if Starla decided to move in with him at some point, he’d already be settled in a bigger room. That, and he probably didn’t want to have a room right next to mine anymore. Ben moved into the room he’d been sleeping in, the one that had been Grayson’s.
Mage of Wolves Light Up the Night
The plan was fairly simple. Our discussions were more on strategic teams and placement than how the attack would actually go since we were limited in our scope and the location. Essentially, we would go in early, before Verina had a chance to prepare for what we assumed would be a middle-of-the-night attack on us. Since Brice had been in her home and knew the layout, where they were likely to be gathered before Verina ordered the wolves out, we were banking on the element of surprise. I decided to take advantage of the early hour, so we set out at around 8:00, too e
Mage of Wolves Fight the Witch
Verina’s wolves fanned out on either side of her, all of them large, dark, with glowing red eyes, crouching down, ready to hurl themselves at my pack. My wolves were equally prepared, stooping low, finding their centers of gravity so they could launch off of the ground and meet any attack midair. Or be the first to strike.I expected Verina to make some sort of grand
Mage of Wolves Life or Death
It only took a few moments for me to regain my ability to move. Once my arms and legs were under my control again, I scrambled to my feet and took in the situation. It was Brice! He’d flung himself at Verina and knocked her down. Now, he was attacking her. She hadn’t seen him coming, so she was completely caught off-guard. But now that she had recovered from the shock of it, she was rearing back to strike. As I stood, pulling my staff to my hand, when sent him flying off of her.
