Pack Warning
“What are we going to do about this guy?” Brice asked for all of us as the pack gathered downstairs. According to Melanie, Mage Jaye had finished her tea and told her that she was going to retire to her quarters as Mel was walking by. She said she looked pale and like she was about ready to be sick to her stomach.
“We are going to see what he wants,” I said with a simple shrug. “I mean, just because Jaye says he’s evil, that doesn’t mean anything, does it? She came all the way to Montana from Paris to punish me for not doing exactly what she said when she said to do it, so, really, I’m not sure I’m in a position to decide someone is evil just because she says so.”
“Yeah, but he’s related to that other Buzzard I told you about in the woods the other day, right?” Brice asked.

Mage of Wolves Nutty Warning
The last thing on earth I wanted to do was talk to Nuthatch--alone or otherwise. His beady little eyes bore down on me as I met him at the top of the stairs. I couldn’t guess what it was he wanted to tell me, but he seemed desperate, so I said, “Okay…” and followed him outside.He really did mean alone, too. I can’t remember ever having seen him move quite as quickly as he was at the moment, walking away from the house toward the forest. I was able to keep up with him, but it was more of a struggle than I’d like to admit. Since when am I not as fast as a middle-aged balding dude with thick glasses?Once he felt we were far enough away from the house to qualify as “alone,” he stopped abruptly and spun around to face me, making me pull up short to keep from running into him. I gave him a look, but he ignored me. &l
Mage of Wolves Pillow Talk
I went back to the house and went about getting my stuff ready for school the next day. Everyone else was either doing the same or watching TV, trying to chill out before school started up again. Sam was back over with Starla. I was jealous that he was the only one of us who didn’t have to worry about getting ready for school, but then, he’d definitely done his time.As I went about making sure I had everything I wanted to take for lunch the next day, I couldn’t help but go back over Nuthatch’s warning in my head. He had followed me back to the house and then gone upstairs to an area at the end of the hallway we’d sort of designated his space, even though it wasn’t even a room. I realized I needed more guest rooms and considered just magic-ing a few on, but I wanted to do it right. Besides, if Starla ended up not keeping the baby, or if Sam ended up tossing her out on he
Mage of Wolves Secrets
The sound of the school bell ringing was comforting in a way I couldn’t have ever thought it would be before, when we had to go to school. Now that we hadn’t been able to for a while, it was a reminder to me that it really is a privilege to be able to go to school and learn every day and not have to work or do something else less fun.A few new students joined us, a couple of guys and a girl, but as far as I could tell, none of them were mages. They seemed to be just regular human children, which was kind of cool because there weren’t a whole lot of them at our school. They were definitely better than the last new student we had show up, that was for certain.On my way to first period, I passed Mr. Short, the principal, in the hallway. He was whistling a happy song, a big smile on his face. That was my first clue that Fionna hadn’t come
Mage of Wolves Out of Sorts
Mage Jaye was waiting for me at the door when I got home from school. I was shocked to see her there. I was hoping she’d be busy doing something else--like gathering frog legs and puppy dog tails for her spells or something. But no… she was sitting on the front porch swing, waiting.I was slow to get out of the truck because of it. I just sat there. “Are you waiting for Ben to open the door for you?” Raven asked from the back seat.“Something like that.” I said.“Only if I can run off the witch on the porch before I open the door,” Ben replied. I looked at him, wide eyed. I’d never heard him call a mage a witch before, but in this case, it was the nicer of the -itch words he could’ve chosen. “It’ll be all right,” he to
Mage of Wolves It's Perfect!
For the rest of the week, I was torn between trying to concentrate on school and listening to Mage Jaye make her preparations at night. She was very focused on all of the things that needed to be done and spent a great deal of time on the phone talking to her staff members back in Europe. I didn’t have a lot of time to get involved in it because I had homework during the week, but I knew that weekend, I’d be up to my eyeballs in helping Mage Jaye figure out a way to move an entire school from one continent to another.Saturday morning, way earlier than I wanted to get up, I heard a sharp wrap on the bedroom door. Ben was awake already, which wasn’t surprising because he hardly sleeps compared to me, but I knew the summons wasn’t for him. I caught his eyes, and he shrugged. “Do you want me to get it? Tell her to go away for a few hours?”
Mage of Wolves Building On
“The new School for Mages?” I repeated, thinking that Mage Jaye had lost her mind this time for sure. “Mage Jaye, with all due respect, there’s simply not enough room right here for an entire school.” I was thinking about a building the size of the one that was in Paris right now, and there was no way a building even the size of just the school building itself, without even considering the other buildings, like the dorms, was going to fit in this clearing. The thought of Mage Jaye removing trees from my forest to make room for a building that didn’t even need to be here made me sick to my stomach. She’d clearly already decided that this was happening, and I had no idea how I could convince her otherwise.“It will fit,” she said, without even turning to look at me. I could see the side of her face and recognized that look of wonder she was wearing that s
Mage of Wolves Accusations
Concentrating on school was nearly impossible when I knew that as soon as I got home I was going to be expected to construct a huge new school building on the land behind my house. I was so afraid I was going to mess it up, and Mage Jaye was going to have a fit, assuming I’d done it on purpose. I was so distracted by my own thoughts of disappointing the head mage, I didn’t even hear what started the argument between Brice and Melanie during art class, one that Tony was desperately trying to end before Ms. Flynn came over, but by the time I realized something was going on, the teacher was already there.“What in the world is going on?” Ms. Flynn said in a harsh whisper. “This is an art room. People are trying to create!”“Sorry, Ms. Flynn,” Melanie said. “I didn’t mean to disturb anyone.”
Mage of Wolves School for Mage Jaye
At lunch, Brice didn’t sit with us. He sat with Starla. I thought it was weird that he was running to the person Melanie was accusing him of having an affair with, but that was just the sort of thing Brice wouldn’t let bother him. If Melanie wanted to say he was sleeping with Starla, he would tell her where to shove it and then do what he wanted.I didn’t get a chance to talk to Ben about it at lunch because Melanie was there, so I’d have to wait until after school to talk to him. During seventh period, drama class, I did get a chance to ask Brice if he was okay. All he said was yes and then sat with someone else. So… I had no idea if he was mad at me, too, or just didn’t want to talk about it. I couldn't blame him if he didn’t want to talk about it, but I was hoping he wasn’t mad at me. I was still thinking the whole thing had to be a misunderstanding. If t
