Tessa’s POV“You aren’t even trying!” Esme said, folding her arms across her chest.“Yes, I am,” I whined. “This spell is complicated.”“It’s basic wind magic,” Esme said, rolling her eyes. “You conjured a whole twister not long ago I shall remind you. This is way simpler than that.”“I was under a lot of pressure,” I said through my teeth. “And how do you know if it’s simple or not? You are a fire witch.”She smirked.“It’s a spell. I can do any spell as can any witch. Just because I have fire shooting out of my fingertips, doesn’t mean I can’t do a wind spell.”I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. I had spent the last few hours practicing my magic and I felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere. I was beyond frustrated. I thought it would have been simple because like Esme
Joseph’s POVExhausted. That’s the only word I could describe myself after the day I had. I spent most of today with Bernard and Carter, trying to figure out what our game plan was for Eevee. They think it’s better if we wait until she makes a move, but it might end up being too late. The problem was, we weren’t sure what she was planning so there was no way to stop it.If without much training, Tessa is the Heavenly Heart and the strongest being to ever exist. But she was also pregnant and the thought of her being in constant danger terrifies me. After our meeting with Ruby and her mother and now knowing why Eevee came back from her trip early, I had a headache.“I’m just glad that Ruby is safe at the school,” Carter said, rubbing the bridge of his nose like he was fighting off a headache as well. “The last thing I need is to be worried about her constantly.”I nodded
Joseph’s POVTessa displayed out naked in front of me was the greatest thing I had ever seen in my entire life. My cock twitched to life at the feel of her before I undressed, but now it was impossibly large. It was so swollen that it was almost painful. Her body was smooth and curvy in all the right places; her breasts were pebbled, begging for me to touch them. Her core was pink and dripping wet, making my mouth water.She was all the food I needed, and she was all mine. How did I get so lucky to have such a woman for myself? If anyone dared to touch what was mine, I would rip them apart in a heartbeat.I stroked myself as I stared down at her gorgeous body; my own juices flowing out of me and gathering around my fingertips as I watched her wiggle and writhe on our bed, soaking her juices into our bedsheets and marking it as our territory.I rubbed my finger across my tip and licked my lips as I stared down at her gloriously naked
Tessa’s POVIt was moments like this that I wished Ruby could be here. I was also glad I wasn’t showing it yet because this dress would have looked awful with a baby bump. However, I was getting to know the girls in my coven a bit more, and some of them truly did know fashion.It was because of them that I was able to find this gorgeous dress for a decent price in the city. It was a red dress with straps that went around my neck and fitted around my form perfectly. It even made my center look small and my waist wider, giving me a perfect hourglass figure. It brought out my cleavage and made my breasts look a bit bigger as well.The girls did my makeup and my hair; both of which were my style and very tasteful. My hair was curled and danced around my features playfully and my makeup brought out all my best features.By the time I was dressed for the evening, I barely recognized myself in the mirror. I was still me, but I was br
Tessa’s POVWhat the hell was Penny doing here? And what did Megan mean when she introduced her as an old friend? I wasn’t aware that Megan knew my father’s wife. A blind rage coursed through me, and I found myself clenching my fists at my side.I couldn’t just expose her as a fraud in front of everybody, let alone my boss. I had to play nicely and pretend that I was just meeting her for the first time. So, I plastered a fake smile on my lips.“It’s nice to meet you too,” I said, hoping I didn’t sound too strained. “How did you two meet?”“We were sorority sisters,” Megan said, a wide smile on her red lips. “We have been friends since college. We lost touch for a while, but when she came to me a few weeks ago and asked me to lunch, I couldn’t invite her to my banquet.”My eyes never left Penny’s and her eyes never left mine. Something tr
Tessa’s POV“What do you mean she was taken, Mulligan?” I asked through my teeth, panic slamming into my chest. How could it be possible that someone was taken from the vampire academy? Don’t they have maximum security or something? I know it’s not a prison or anything, but they certainly treat it like it is.My eyes wandered over to see Joseph was on the stage. He was busy talking about his career and the next book he’s writing which is scheduled to be released in a couple of months. He already started to promote it and his fans are excited to read his next book.Everybody at the banquet was eager to ask him questions. He looked to be in his element despite keeping himself out of the public eye for so many years. I understood why he did it; he didn’t want people to know what he looked like so that changing his identity later in life would be easy. Joseph is immortal, which means he doesn’t age and
Tessa’s POV“Why would the headmaster be lying?” I asked as soon as Joseph hung up the phone.“That’s what I’d like to find out,” he said, his face void of emotions. I could tell he was thinking deeply about something, and my chest ached.I was worried for my best friend; if something happened to her because of me, I would never forgive myself. By the time we returned home, my anxiety was through the roof. Esme was in the basement with some others of our coven; over the course of these last couple of weeks, we turned our fully done basement into a magic room where we could practice magic and create potions without anyone spotting on the outside us or being suspicious. We also use the fenced-in backyard for our elemental magic training.The basement also doubled as an apartment where Bennet and Cole lived but it was big enough that we were able to turn half of it into a magic room. Joseph built a wall, separa
Tessa’s POV “The headmaster is corrupted; we’ve been interrogating him for hours and he won’t tell us where Ruby is. Carter is going ballistic,” Nathan said as we walked across the campus of the vampire academy.We were told they were interrogating him in the visiting section. Most of the campus was on lockdown while the investigation went underway. I never expected that the headmaster of this school could be corrupted and work with the enemy. My head was spinning with realization over the fact that we’ve been played.The enemy has been under our noses; watching every move we made, this entire time. I felt nauseated that Ruby fell victim because of our neglect. I just hoped we would find her before it was too late.I heard the screaming of a tortured man just as we walked into the visiting center. Bernard and a few guards were standing outside the main room with their arms folded across their chests. T
