School's Out Forever
Last Updated:
2021-06-21 02:42:40The next few weeks dragged on, and then it was time for our big day. Graduation. A day I’d been looking forward to for as long as I could remember. As much as I enjoyed school, I was ready for it to be over with. I was ready to close this chapter in my life and start a new one. Even though I still wasn’t completely clear about what was going to happen next, I knew I was ready to get on with it.
My parents were coming for the event of course. When they arrived at the house a few hours before we were due to arrive at the high school gym, where the ceremony would be held. My mom rushed up the porch steps before Max even managed to get the van in park, her arms open wide. It had been too long since we’d seen each other.
“There she is!” Mom gushed, wrapping me up in a tight hug. “Oh, how I’ve missed you!”

Mage of Wolves Graduation
I wanted to concentrate on all of the graduation speeches, but it was hard. I kept touching my earrings, twirling them in my ears, brushing my hair back behind my ears so that everyone could see them. They were a distraction, but so was the fact that I knew Sam was sitting in the bleachers with my parents. I wanted to turn my head and look at him, sitting there all handsome in his tie and suit pants.I kept my eyes focused on the dais in front of me, though. We were out on the football field that was never used for football because the town wasn’t big enough to have a team. I think they may have used it for soccer, and they used the track around the outside for the track team, but it probably shouldn’t have been called a football field. Nevertheless, the graduates were all sitting facing the stage, and the family members and guests were in the bleachers to our left. Eventually, all of the speec

Being out of school felt weird. I’d missed a lot of days of school that year, but knowing I never had to go back to high school, that I might never have to go back to a school building again to attend classes, seemed almost unbelievable to me.The night of graduation, I had spent alone in my bed, even though I wanted to be with Sam. My parents and Grayson were spending the night, and it just seemed weird to be sleeping with a guy while they were there. Especially since Sam wasn’t even my boyfriend.Saying goodbye to my parents the next morning was difficult. I wasn’t sure why it seemed so sad for them to be leaving this time any more than it was any other time, but I had to hold back tears when I hugged them goodbye. I hate crying because I think it makes me look weak, and I don’t like to look weak in front of my pack--or anyone else for

Joshua was ready to talk to me, to tell me what his big secret was. Of course, I wanted to hear, not just because I'm really nosy--which I am--but also because I wanted to be there for him. “Okay,” I said. “Where do you want to go?”“Let’s go back to your stump,” he suggested, running his palm along the back of his neck. I could tell that he didn’t want to tell me whatever it was that he was about to say.“You know, Joshua, if you’re not ready to talk, it’s okay,” I told him. “I know that you said this has something to do with what I just saw, but if it helps any, I have no idea what I was looking at.”Joshua turned and looked over his shoulder, smirking at me. “Just come on, Harlow,” he said, like he thought I was being

I didn’t need to stick around to hear the conversation between Brice and Joshua to know what they were going to talk about. I could tell by their faces what was happening, and even though I didn’t want to get my hopes up in case I was wrong, I had a pretty good feeling that it was going to all end up for the better.With a small smile on my face, I headed back to the house.I walked into the kitchen and heard sobbing coming from downstairs and wanted to beat my head against the kitchen wall. While I was ecstatic for what was likely happening between Joshua and Brice, it wasn’t good for everyone; it wasn’t good for Melanie.Walking briskly down the steps, I went to check on her. She had her face buried in a pillow on the couch, and Tony and Raven were with her. Raven was stroking her hair whil

It wasn’t difficult for me to find a new flight for Mel to take home, though it did cost quite a bit of money to reschedule her onto a flight that was leaving sooner, but hey, if that’s what made her happy, I was willing to do it. I still felt terrible for her.Tony and Raven offered to take her to the airport the next morning. I told her goodbye that night because I had a feeling I wouldn’t be able to drag myself out of bed and make coherent sentences in the morning. We’d both shed a few tears, but I knew I’d see her again soon enough. She intended to join us in Europe once the summer was over--if we were still there fighting Mage Grouse.I sort of hoped we wouldn’t be, though. I wanted this battle to be over quickly so I could reclaim my ancestral lands and then get on with my life. I was sure there would still be other bat
Last Updated : 2021-06-26Mage of Wolves More Than Friendly Skies
I am sure I’ve mentioned before how much I hate flying on planes. It’s sort of ironic that I don’t mind flying as a bird. At least this time I’d had some opportunities to get used to it, and also my whole pack was there with me to help me to stay calm.Not my whole pack, I guess. Mel wasn’t with us. But everyone else was. I was sitting in first class beside Sam. Ben wasn’t even where I could see him. I remembered what it had been like to fly to Paris for the first time. He’d done so much to keep me calm. This time, Sam was trying to make me laugh. Sam is usually hilarious, but I was still a little unnerved, so I only laughed at about half of them.“Don’t worry, Harlow. If we fall out of the sky, you’ll catch us,” Sam said, trying to pry my fingers off of the armrest after we had been in the air f

It was the middle of the day when we arrived in Paris, and I was exhausted. My internal clock was all thrown off. Even though I’d taken a really long nap on the plane, as I walked through the airport with my backpack carry on slung over my shoulder, I felt like I was walking in sand. The idea of turning myself into something small enough to ride in Sam’s pocket.He had my hand as we went to the baggage claim. We had a lot of luggage but not as many as we would have if we hadn’t planned on my ability to make new clothes or for us to buy them. I didn’t know how we would look in French fashions, but the idea of Sam wearing some of the clothes I saw on the French men we saw walking around the airport almost made me laugh. Not that all of them were dressed way different than Americans, but some of the more fashionable ones wore tight pants, or pants that were baggy at the top and tight a

Sam and I lay on our backs in the Cinderella room, the soft, blue comforter beneath us, staring up at the ceiling. It had exposed beams and came to a point far above our heads. I wasn’t sure how I felt about that. I remembered seeing those mice on Cinderella, after all. I could imagine a mouse running along up there and then falling on my face in the middle of the night. I thought about sealing up the ceiling, but then I figured I should probably just cast a spell to keep the mice away.“What are you thinking about, Harlow?” Sam asked me, the back of his hand brushing against mine.I didn’t want to tell him the truth, that I was thinking about how disgusting it would be if a mouse fell from the beams above us and landed on my face. “I’m thinking about… how nice this house is, and how I’m glad we’re al

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
