[Apple]"You're a virgin."Something in his eyes changes as he takes a step back, his face becoming a blank mask. "Did I do something wrong?" feeling naked and vulnerable, I fold my legs into my chest, trying to cover myself as best I can with the sheets of the bed. "Oh Apple, you deserve so much better than me to be your first." He kisses my brow like I'm a child and slides out of bed. "You sleep here, I..." he looks outside. "I need to go for a run." Without a backward glance, he strides across the room, and walks out, leaving me alone confused and feeling rejected. "He doesn't want a virgin," I sigh, thinking back to Zion and how he cheated on me with my sister because of the very same problem. "I guess I'll always be one then."Everything feels heavier without him here. I need him to hold me and tell me it is okay, but he can't even be in the same room as me now that he knows the truth.Why does my lack of experience drive men away? I thought Zion and I were waiting for the p

[Apple]"Congratulations...?"Why did her eyes shine for a moment? What is going on here?Nervously, I step back. "Apple," Hazel looks around. "We'll talk after." She gives Hawthorne a look and he nods, his expression still hard but his eyes strangely soft, like his face can't decide what it wants to feel. "It's a good thing, trust me," Hazel winks, and then leads the way into class.Looking back, I suddenly find comfort in Rudy being only a few steps away. Whatever Hazel has to say is going to change everything. I can feel it.The problem is, there have been so many changes in my life recently that I can't handle another. I'm already overwhelmed. "Let's just get through today and worry about everything else later," I try to pep myself up as I enter the classroom.Today is a lab day, and I'm excited to see how my seedlings are doing. We planted peas in various soils to see how they'd grow, or not, depending on the environment. The professor is already speaking by the time I take m

[Sylvester]I know the Board of Directors is trying to tell me something important, but I can't focus. My thoughts keep shifting back to last night, the way she felt, the way she tasted, and the way she called out my name as I brought her release with my fingers and my tongue.My sweet, perfect, Apple. I need to see her. Why did I push her away?"So as we were saying, we need to meet your Luna immediately. Waiting until the end of the month is no longer good enough." Beta-emeritus Clancy Greystone announces briskly. "And if she doesn't meet our standard, you have no choice. It's Alexis. Do you understand what we are saying?"I want to answer back with something flippant, but I hold my tongue. I need to see Apple. I don't have time to fight him."Of course, Beta Clancy," I remember my manners, giving a deep bow. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have important work to do, running our pack. I'm sure you understand."I'm given the details of the time and place to bring Apple, but I don't even

[Apple]This has to be a trick or a hallucination because none of this makes sense. Hazel’s words cannot be true. I can’t be a witch. Or a half-witch, or part-witch, or whatever.“I grew up in Pleasant Valley, California.” I remind her as I turn my head from side to side watching as my hair emits amber sparks, my skin glows and my eyes shine beacon bright. “A HUMAN ONLY community. They have hex-blockades and supe detectors installed in the roads leading into town," my voice is growing louder and as I blush in frustration, my skin's hue slowly blooming to match the flowers in my hair. "How can I be a witch if I grew up in a place like that?" "Witches are good at hiding." Hazel shrugs. "And I bet your mother or father tied your powers down so tightly they thought they'd never escape." She grimaced. "Probably even put a compulsion or two on you to keep you a virgin. That way your powers wouldn't manifest until you were ready." Hazel then explains that if my powers were locked as she s

[Apple]"Sly," the sound of the door closing behind me tells me we are alone. I hold my breath. He steps forward, closing the distance between us, and pulls me into his arms holding me tightly as he breathes in my scent."I needed to see you," he says against my hair. "I'm so glad I found you." "You left me alone," a sob breaks free, muffled by his chest as I bury my face in his embrace, craving his touch and scent as much as any wolf. "You don't need me. You don't even want me."He holds me even tighter as I cry, clutching his jacket. "I know this relationship is just pretend to you, that you never promised me anything, but I can't help how my heart feels," I try to explain, my words moving quickly. "I can't give my body without my heart, Sly. When I offered myself and approached you, it was with everything, and I know you can't love me back, but I thought it wouldn't matter.""But I was wrong," I confess. "I want you to want me too. To have you reject me broke me.""I didn't reject

[Sylvester]When I finally come back to myself, I realize that Apple is gone. Taking a deep breath, fall to my knees and inhale what is left of her scent. She couldn't have gotten far. I wasn't out of it that long, was I?Her friend, Hazel, looks shocked and hurt. "How could you do that?" she starts to shout, her fingertips glowing with light. Of course, she's a witch. That makes so much sense. A witch hiding another witch. I wonder if she gave Apple tips on how to seduce a wolf."She showed you who she really is and you took her heart and stomped on it." She snarls, disgusted. "I thought you actually cared for her, but it turns out you didn't deserve her after all." "She lied to me," I gasp, my heart aching as I feel that all too familiar burn of betrayal. "No, she didn't, you stupid mutt," Apple's friend snaps, glaring at me with golden glowing eyes. "She had no idea of her true identity. Apple's mother never told her and blocked her abilities away so tightly that she'd never find

[Apple]It has been a week since Thorne hid me away in this witches' cavern, a home for lost souls, looking for safety. They call this place Haven. It means a place to feel safe and at home. For witches like myself, witches hiding from wolves, we need a place like this to keep our hearts, bodies, and minds safe. I've been asked to gather supplies from the border chamber by the neighborhood leader. Thorne had originally agreed to come with me, but he's been too busy working with the witch council on something so "top secret" that he isn't permitted to say anything to me about it. All I know is that he spends his days in close council with the Grand Coven Mistress herself and that many in the high coven have come to depend on him. I'm proud of my friend, and what he has accomplished, but I know it isn't what he needs from me. What he craves. "Can't you feel it," he demanded last night as he pulled me into his arms. "The zing is there, Apple. If you just open your heart, you'll feel i

[Apple]My attackers quiver, their legs shaking as their eyes widen. One pisses himself as the wolf takes a step forward. Neither of them moves, frozen in place, unable to react beyond unintelligible whimpers. Snapping forward the wolf's maw opens wide, his teeth dripping with saliva.He can't mean to kill them? Can he? What if someone found out? I take a step forward.The wolf's head swivels, and his eyes, black from pupil to sclera, turn enough for me to see that the wolf has taken over completely. If there is a man inside, he's not there. All that is left is the beast. I place a hand on his shoulder. I've only seen this wolf once before, but I'd know him anywhere. "Sly. Please, come back to me." Sniffing my chest he growls and then turns back to the men. He can smell them on me and he doesn't like it. He takes another step forward, snapping his teeth, spit flying from his muzzle. "Rufus, you don't need to do this!" I beg, although part of me wonders why I'm trying to defend th
