Duke's laughter echoed through the room. I felt the ears twitching in annoyance.“It’s not funny.”“But you’re adorable,” he said.“You are,” Luke said with a grin. “For now, let’s clean up and try again. If they’ve disappeared by the end of the session, you’ll be free to go, but if not, we’ll have to make arrangements.”I huffed and let Duke carry the cauldron to the sink to wash before helping get more ingredients. This time, Luke measured it out with an eyedropper. We bottled the potion into glass bubbles that he stacked in a box on a shelf.Then, he grimaced. “No change. Looks like you’ll be staying at the Hecate containment barracks.”“What does that mean?”Luke grinned. “It means no one is going to start a riot at the sight of your ears.”Luke quickly gathered the tools and ingredients.

DavidAs I entered my office, Trent whistled at me and waved a sealed envelope with the Council's emblem over his head. I sighed and shook my head, already knowing what it was. "Not another one of these," I grumbled.Trent hummed. "I'm afraid so, David. Not sure what they’re summoning you for this time, but it’s definitely a summons."Ever since that mediation session, Liberation Front had been going full steam ahead with the smear campaigns against the twins. I clenched my fists. "Why can't they leave me alone? Don’t they have anything better to do?”“No, and they don’t really care if you do.” Trent shrugged. "I wish I could do say that wasn’t the case, but it is. They have… a vested interest in you, David.”I growled at that as I started to pace. “Now, they have a vested interest. And I’m still not sure why.”I glanced at the envelope. “I want to burn it,

DavidMy lips twitched. “We… assembled puzzles when I was sick.”I remember sniffling a lot but being so happy to have some of my father’s attention. It was the only kindness, the only softness, he ever showed me. “It’s… odd to think of him now and not feel… furious, I guess.”Trent pat me on the shoulder. “So often is it that we only find peace after our aggressors are dead. What are you thinking?”“These blocks need to be in a specific order.” I pushed the black wolf blocks to the bottom right since it seemed to be a corner. “It’s supposed to tell a story.”Amos hummed. “There’s something about the sea. The heart of the sea? The waves of the sea?”I scanned the door looking for something that looked like waves or water related, then, I saw the symbol of a shell. “To the east, the cove of shells… A treasure to th

LucyA few days had passed since the cat ears appeared, and to my relief, the cat ears were finally gone. Luke and I didn’t talk about his family after that, but I got to know how long he’d been working for the coven. Today was the first day I’d be leaving the barracks since the potion accident. As I stood in front of the mirror, I couldn’t help but smile. “I’ll miss them,” Luke said with a grin. “They were really adorable.”I stuck my tongue out at him. “I won’t.”Luke walked me to the campus’ main foyer and I headed to the human college campus. I was heading down the hallway when I saw Duke. He pouted a little as his eyes twinkled. "Lucy, I was really hoping it would last at least a little longer.”“That’s not funny.”Duke laughed again. “Don’t be such a sourpuss, Lucy. You were adorable and it was funny.”“On

PeterLucy looked a bit uncomfortable, but she smiled at me. I tried to figure out what the relationship between the three of them were, but I didn’t sense anything romantic going on. Luke seemed to be a little younger than me. Duke was about Lucy’s age, but there was a sibling sort of feeling coming from the two of them. My gaze swept over the two of them. I caught sight of the rings on their fingers.“Are you studying at the campus here?” I asked. Lucy nodded. “L-Luke is one of my professors.”“Ah,” I said. “A perfect place for a more involved lecture. The museum hosts classes on more specialized topics all the time that are free to students if you’re interested.”She blinked up at me with a little hope. “Oh?”I nodded. “There is a schedule with the front desk. It’s a first-come, first-serve basis, though.”“Are you an alum?” Luke as

LucySeeing Peter at the museum left me in a weird place. I appreciated learning more about the world, but his words, his presence, were still unsettling to me. I was glad to be back in just my human classes today. “Afternoon classes have been canceled.”I looked up at Sarah. “What?”She held up her phone and showed me the notification that there was some sort of construction happening that required the entire campus to be empty. “What a perfect way to start the weekend!” Amy cried. Her eyes practically glowed. “Let's go sign up for our first community service project with Helping Hands!"“Classes were canceled, and you want to do manual labor?” Sarah asked. She turned to Michelle. “Someone else be on my side for this.”Michelle smiled. "That sounds amazing, Amy. I’m in.”Sarah groaned. “Lucy?”“Will they take us?” I asked. &ldquo

TonyAs Matt and I arrived in Hecate City for our meeting with the coven leaders, my patience was already wearing thin. The city always had a way of grating on my nerves, and this visit seemed to be no exception. The curse that was still on me wasn’t letting up at all. With our father’s release date coming closer and closer, we couldn’t risk still being unable to shift when he got free.Our beta pulled up in front of the Hecate Coven’s capital hall. The scent of witches and their magic hung thickly in the air. I got out and Matt followed just behind me. We entered the building, hoping to get to someone who could lift our curses today. There was only one receptionist and I headed to her. She was a young woman who smiled as I approached.“We’re here to see the Hecate Elders.”She cocked an eyebrow and her smile turned condescending. She glanced at Matt and then back to me"Good morning. Do you have an appoi

MattI tried not to show how reluctant I was to start this chase as the car shrieked to a halt. Our beta looked at us through the rearview mirror. Our gazes locked for a moment before he looked away. I didn’t know exactly what that meant, but I bet that meant that he’d smelled her too. I had smelled her even before we walked into the coven building. It had been just a lingering scent. I had hoped that we weren’t driving closer to wherever she was in the city. It must be bad luck that she was still close enough to smell for Tony despite his restricted powers.I glanced at Tony. "Are you sure?"He nodded; his focus fixed on the direction the scent was coming from. "Positive. We need to find her now, while we have the chance. "“Tony, do you really think this is a good idea?”He turned on me. His eyes glinting and his expression pinched tight. I swallowed back the feeling of fear and met his gaze. It was just like deali

LucyMy heart was hammering. I knew before the car had pulled to a stop who was in the car. The vision of myself pressed up against a window in the Blue Moon Estate, dead-eyed, pregnant in nothing more than that white dress flashed through my mind. I heard the Moon Goddess’ voice and my stomach lurched. I couldn’t breathe. My heart raced, and a surge of panic threatened to overwhelm me. I tried my best to push it away, to push through it, but I couldn’t. Tony came around the side of the car. His eyes nearly glowing. His face flushed and pinched tight in anger. He reminded me of my adoptive father when he’s come home in his worse moods. I stumbled back until I felt someone behind me. I turned back and looked up at Duke. He wrapped his arms around me. “Take her to the greenhouse. Now,” David said. Duke pulled me away from the sidewalk and further away from the opening in the gate. I heard Tony growl as I struggled

LucyThe morning sun, a mischievous wink through the blinds, painted golden stripes across our bed. I snuggled deeper into the warmth of David's embrace, the rhythmic rise and fall of his chest a soothing lullaby. He slipped his hand across my lower back. The warmth of his bare skin against mine set a spark of pleasure through me. He rumbled low and content into my hair. “Wake up,” David rumbled. He kissed my head and twined a curl around his finger. “We have things to do.”“You shouldn’t have kept me up all night.”He chuckled. “You didn’t say that last night.”I nudged him. He dipped his head to nip my lips. “You know, if it’s too much, you can always tell me to slow down.”He’d been saying that for five years now, and I never found a reason to tell him to. He knew that. His eyes flickered between colors. I nipped his lower lip. “Give me a reason.”He smirked and rolled me onto my back. “To slow down or…”“To get up,” I said as he kissed

LucyI sat on the cold stone, watching her, but she didn’t move another muscle. I didn’t know how long it had been, but it didn’t matter. The spectral glow around her was starting to dim, and my mind was just too stressed to do too much thinking. The light of the ritual, the spell I’d used, the blood on my hands all flashed through my mind, and part of me wondered if it was all just a dream. I looked down at the stained and ruined gown. The armor was as pristine as ever, but most of the embroidered roses were torn or stained. This dress would never be white again, let alone whole. I flicked a piece of the long, gossamer fabric and shook my head. I really liked this dress.“Lucy!”I turned my head toward the sound of David’s voice, wrung out and relieved to hear him. He was rushing through the air towards me. He dropped down a few feet from me, looking so worried I could cry.I smiled at him as he dropped to his knees beside me and threw his arms around me,

LucyI sailed through the air, landing with a jarring thud within the ritual circle. With a trembling hand, I pushed myself up, my senses on high alert. A figure, cloaked in darkness, appeared in front of me. My blood ran cold. Selene."Well, well, Lucy," her voice, honeyed yet laced with venom, slithered into the darkness. "Thank you ever so much for making this easy at last.”I grit my teeth. I wouldn't go down without a fight. Straightening my shoulders, I met her gaze, my voice shaking but resolute. "You underestimate me.” “No, Lucy,” her voice dropped, and a cruel smile twisted her lips. "You underestimate me.” The chanting grew louder around me. I lunged for the necklace, my fingers grazing its cold surface before Selene snatched it away, a triumphant gleam in her eyes. But that touch, fleeting as it was, ignited something. I felt her pushing at my mind. I felt her shoving me back until I could see the forest from before, and we were fighting in a ci

MattMy vision pulsed and flickered, a strobe light of pain blurring the edges of reality. Tony rained blows down on me, slashing with claws. Each hit chipped away at my resolve and my control, leaving behind a raw desperation to end this quickly. My armor protected me from most of the damage, but still. He was always the stronger of the two of us. I thought it was just because he was the older of the two of us, but this was different. I thought for sure he was going to bite off my head. Then, a flash of golden light arced through the air, and a spear lanced past my shoulder, catching Tony square in the chest. I turned back to see Ginevra hovering in the air. Her golden dress glowed as she passed me with a glowing winge spreading from her back. What the absolute fuck?Tony staggered, falling to the ground, and Dad darted forward, encasing Tony in a shimmering web of light. The wave turned to chains. He thrashed and howled, straining against the magical bonds, but t

LucyPeter's breath hitched, rasping, and shallow, then deepened into a cough that wracked his battered body. His eyelids fluttered, eyelids so pale they were almost luminous in the dim torchlight. He struggled to get up, leaning on his Spear and on Michelle. The light pulsing through the Spear rippled over his skin. He let out a soft sigh and stumbled a little. “Peter?”“I... It’s gone.”“What?” Michelle gasped as his hair started to change, losing the gray color and growing dark. His face turned younger until I was sure that he was all of twenty-something. He grew a bit taller, too, bigger until his shirt strained against his chest and his buttons popped. He flushed. “Well… that’s not…” He cleared his throat as Michelle smiled up at him. “So this is what you looked like in your youth?”He scoffed. “I’m much younger than you think.”He grunted, pressing a hand to his side. “Wish the Spear would heal the wound, though.”I winced. “Sorry… it’s a

PeterMy feet pounded a frantic rhythm against the uneven earth, branches whipping at my face, thorns tearing at my clothes. How long had I been running? How much further did I have to go? I didn’t know, and it didn’t matter so long as I got there. My lungs burned, legs screaming in protest, but still I ran. The trail of blood behind me and the patchwork of wounds across my body, chunks of missing and regrowing flesh, weren’t my concern right now. The creature—the wolf was after me, and unlike before, it didn’t seem willing to back off or slow down. It was going to kill me, and what happened after that was anyone’s guess. Behind me, the guttural snarl of the wolf echoed through the trees. Too close to be comfortable. Too close to make sense. This was too much like that dream, but worse. So much worse. The sky was a kaleidoscope of images I could barely make out. They flashed in the sky and in my vision, making it hard to see. I saw Lucy. I saw Michelle. The long

LucyAdrenaline surging, I grabbed Michelle and pulled her after me deeper into the inky depths of the tunnel.“Quick!”She panted. “What’s going on? Peter—”“He’s possessed,” I said. “Just keep running for now!”I saw my Allison up ahead, leading me down another tunnel. Behind us, I heard Peter's guttural snarls, the rhythmic thud of his feet echoed eerily in the confined space. We had to lose him and the other one quickly, but we didn’t seem to be putting enough distance between us. Panic coiled in my gut, urging me to run faster and push my body beyond its limits. Michelle kept up relatively well. We twisted and turned, navigating the treacherous path by torchlight and the spectral murmurs of White Moon's fallen. But the passage seemed to twist back on itself. When we were back at the forked path, the faint light that had been illuminating the tunnel went out, plunging us into darkness.Michelle shuddered. She drew closer to me and tightened her grip on m

LucyI was back in that house with that couple that adopted me. I felt the floorboards creaking as I went downstairs. I saw the men in suits. I shrieked, turning. Not again. I couldn’t be back here. Where was David? How had I gotten back here? I looked down. I wasn’t… wearing the dress or the armor. I had no daggers. My hair was just as uncombed and dry as it had been then. When I looked in the mirror, the skinny young woman who had barely had anything more than ramen and school lunch stared back at me. My stomach lurched. The door opened, and I turned to run, knowing what was about to happen. I dug my heels in as dark shadows pulled me towards the door. I felt myself being lifted onto someone’s shoulders. I fought and kicked, but all my training and all my strength were gone. I saw the calendar on the wall, but the date was different. It wasn’t my birthday. It was the day of the Crescent Moon Festival. I screamed, grabbing anything I could manage. Then, Sele

DavidOren's head arced through the firelit air, landed, and rolled. His body dropped to the ground, still spurting blood. Then, all hell broke loose.The shimmering barrier around the Ball faltered, rippling like a pond, before collapsing entirely. Hunters poured into the arena, their snarls blending with everyone's shocked gasps. “Defensive measures, now!” I yelled, my voice carrying over the sound of the attack. A group of dragon shifters took to the sky as my blade clashed with the first hunter. How had they gotten through the barrier? I saw a flicker of a ghost and growled. “Selene!” I shoved the hunter back, slicing through him before sending out a shockwave of air. She’d been behind this, and maybe she’d been planning this for years, using the werewolf virus to spy on the preparations. It would make sense to try and get rid of me. I was the direct descendant of Fenris. More than that, it was their movements. Each and every one of them moved e
