Deena stretched out her arms as her emerald eyes rolled back in her head. The ocean's waves are billowing as thunder and lightning fill the sky. I'm morphing at the same time. Deena begins to levitate, but I ram into her midsection, knocking her across the beach.

I hear Uncle Julius and Micah screaming in the distance, "Stop!" and "Don't do this!"

Quickly, Deena rises, and I'm in an invisible choke hold. While I'm fighting for my freedom, she stealthily walks my way. Once she's beside me, I break loose and open my mouth as wide as I can to decapitate her. Then I hear guns shooting.

It feels like fire is burning inside me. Someone's shot me with a silver bullet. Deena's smashed under my feet as I regenerate, but she says a word and I become paralyzed and fall to her side like a brick.

Sitting on top of me, Deena whispers, "Time to mate," then tries to have sex with me against my will. Her spell leaves, and I flip her over, but instantly she flings me off of her.

Another bullet hit me i

    I repeat, "A cure? How does it work?""It's not a potion or medicine. It's how you and Deena operate.""The cure is through witchcraft?" "No, it's deeper than that."Jude pauses and I say, "I'm listening."I tried to write it down but I'm sure I missed some key components. Maybe she'll reveal herself to you.""Who?""My mother.""As in your deceased mother?""No, my living mother. Of course, Ajay. What other mother do I have besides Mama and Eve."Sighing, my eyes daze past him. Gently, he grabs my chin and turns my head to face him, asking, "You don't want to help me?""I do, it's just I don't trust those supposedly helping from the other side. How do we know they are who they say they are?""Ajay, I know my mother.""I thought I knew mine, but then she turned into someone else."Watching me a moment, he says, "Funny you say that. Deena took me down her rabbit hole but my mother was there. She spoke but it was Deena's voice. Everything she had told me she contradicted in Deena's wor

    "Izzy, what are you going to say? Shouldn't we wait until he returns home? Or maybe he doesn't need to know? Eve said it wasn't his child, so we'll leave it as that.""Zora, Zee told us that family wasn't right!""Well, neither was Eve. So who can we trust?""So if there's any chance Jude is our grandson, you want to leave him in Lorain's and Ettore's care?""Of course not.""Well, what other option do I have?"Zora agrees, so I return Lorain's call. Lorain answers, "Hello, Isadore. I'm so glad you decided to call.""Why the change of heart, Lorain?""Jude needs to know his father.""Zee said you were pretty adamant that he wasn't the father.""I'm not afraid to admit I was wrong." Lorain sighs."How convenient," I sneered, but Zora caressed my arm. Calm, I informed her, "Zee will be home for another week."Lorain replies, "Zebedee doesn't have to be present. I doubt he wants to see me.""He'll be present. I won't allow it any other way.""I understand. Thanks for your kindness. See y

    Although Jude is in love with me and is willing to give up everything to be with me, things are different. It seems this is when we should've been intimate, but Jude slept on the couch and I went to bed. Unable to rest, I'm up as soon as the sun rises. Entering my living room, Jude was sitting up, deep in thought.I say, "Good morning. ""Morning.""Do you want breakfast?""Sure. Do you want me to cook or grab takeout?"I grin, "Finally, you're my guest. I'll cater to you."With a faint smile, he nodded. Upon returning with our breakfast, Jude had already called over a contractor to measure and fix my wall. The contractor says, "I'm who this complex uses exclusively, so I'll let the office know it's been paid in full by the owners. We'll start promptly on Saturday morning."Jude thanks him and then escorts him out. He leans against a dining chair as I empty the contents of the restaurant bag onto the kitchen table. "Smells good.""This is a Motown exclusive, so you've never had chi

    Jude says into my ear, "I'll be upstairs." Giving Ellie a nod, he walks past her. Watching until he's gone, I say, "Ellie, it's past midnight." "What does that mean? We do everything after midnight. What else is new?" She grimaces. Through a loud sigh, I asked, "What's up?" "Mitchell broke it off with Winnie." "Good," I snickered. "Not funny, Ajay. Winnie is devastated." "I hate hearing that, but what can I do? Winnie and I haven't been close for a minute." "Winnie loves you, Ajay. Have you forgotten she rushed over to rescue you a day ago!" Glancing up my stairs, I replied, "Well, I'm kind of busy, Ellie. I'm not alone, as you know." "I'll wait. This shouldn't take long." Perplexed, I grunted, "Huh? What are you doing?" "Jude leaves you quicker than it takes me to use the toilet. It'll be a waste of time and gas for me to leave just to return before I make it home." "It's different this time, Ellie."

    I returned home, not knowing who to trust. Jude's waiting for me on the couch. Head cocked to the side, he asks, "Everything good?"Afraid to give eye contact, I sat next to him. Now holding me, he kisses me. My eyes were closed, but when I opened them, his eyes were piercing through my soul. He said, "Tell me what's bothering you.""Where's Chris?""Why?""Jude, Chris is innocent!""Is he? Or are you longing for your soul mate?"Lowering my eyes, I stammered, "Don't do that, Jude. You know I love you. We have already discussed who Chris is to me.""You were nobody to Chris. He was using you to get to me. Via his dad's wishes. ... Are you sure I can trust you, Ajay?"Palms lifted, and I chided, "What? So Chris was doing what Mitchell did?""Pretty much.""If you knew this, why were you so angry with me? You almost exposed yourself to my entire neighborhood when you knew my relationship was a lie!""It wasn't a lie to you. You were falling for him.""Wow, you were jealous?"Huffy, he r

    We watched until everyone pulled off. The strength of Bruce left me bewildered. How could he be so composed and unbothered when he knows Jude probably did murder his son? Jude is in his own world. Until he was ready to speak, I said nothing. He says around six in the morning, "The contractors will be here soon. We should get dressed." "Are we safe, Jude?" "No. Bruce is Homeland Security. His access to our family secrets makes sense now. Nothing concerning him is by coincidence. I'm sure Mama left that knowledge with Deena. As much as I dread it, we need to be home." Knight Island is the least safe place for me. Not having a better suggestion, I nodded and followed him upstairs to shower. While they fixed my storm door, Jude and I strategized. I said, "I think us running will admit our guilt. We've been running since we met. Maybe we should stay put. Fleeing makes us look too suspicious." "Ajay, this isn't a crime series. Those with power will have you seized without proof in the

    I only took Ellie to Kleery Lake as an alibi. After I learned the spell that removes shape-shifting abilities, I didn't want to try it on Chiara first. The only way to become a werewolf was to befriend Chiara, learn how to become a werewolf, and then strip out her powers.Lucy was my guinea pig because she was the only other person in our coven who could turn into a creature.Everywhere Lucy went I was there, lurking. That's how I learned which nights she'd go to Kleery Lake. Once I had perfected the spell, I beat her to the lake and waited. And just like my vision, while Lucy stood on the embankment chanting, a giant mermaid arose from the lake.The giant mermaid turned into a black shadow and entered Lucy. Once inside her, Lucy dove into the water and jumped out a mermaid. Lucy was underneath the surface almost an hour before I got the courage to leave.When I learned we were looking for Jude, I went to Kleery Lake.

    Although Jude and I are on the radar, our justice system gives us time. This allows us to strategize and persuade Ellie to join forces with us.Thankfully, she got me a job at her workplace. I enter the mailroom and my coworker says, "Hey pretty lady. You look radiant today.""Thanks, Harold.""The golden highlights look good on you. Don't get me wrong, you look fabulous in black, but that color pops... Muah!"Cheesing, I replied, "Your flattery is always welcomed.""So how was your weekend?""Quite interesting, but I'm glad it's over.""Was Chris in town?" He pried."Uh, Chris? No. Chris and I decided to just be friends.""What? Yeah, he's definitely not worth your time. What man would agree to that?" He frowns."He's into his ministry, ya da, ya da.

    The same night I googled Dr. Houseman. He has a private practice across town. I schedule an appointment, but he's not available until next month. Uncomfortable going to anyone else, I keep the appointment and buy a home pregnancy test.My sweaty palms wet the box, while my trembling hand held the stick steady. I waited the instructed time, and it came back inconclusive. I run to the drugstore and purchase three more tests. They all yield the same result.Justine told me Delilah was discharged from the ICU and apologized to Zelma. Delilah told Zelma, "I've been consumed with Jude and finding his truth for so long that I haven't even lived. These days I grieve for Mama. She was so deep into this that there was no way she could walk away and live a normal life.I've had Eve only a few weeks, and I love her as my own. Mama loved Jude. She did what she thought was best.

    I left Floyd perplexed. Soon, I heard Jude questioning me about the short story Eve wrote about Samuel and his brother. Plopping onto my couch, I close my eyes and concentrate, hoping to remember anything significant.Suddenly, I recall Mr. Knight saying, "I hear my mother's singing in my head and whisper, "Dreamers? No, filthy dreamers. My bloodied fingers thumb through my Bible. Weak and dying, I circle the chapter at the top of the page. My shaky hand draws an arrow, and I write, This is his name."Immediately, I rushed and opened the small suitcase I had taken from the island. It has Jude's Bible inside. I remove it, go to the table of contents, and find the Book of Jude. Jude had circled the title in blood.As I stare at the encircled name, I realize that Samuel VII and Mr. Knight are the same. Samuel is the baby's father. The story instructed the Knight's lineage to name his son and the next Alpha, Jude.Soon I'm wondering why Samuel slaughtered his students. Did he hope to be k

    Paige offers to go with me to see Mrs. Freer. I decided it was best to go alone. Walking on campus was strange. It seems like eons ago this was where I spent most of my time. Upon entering the administration building, I see familiar faces. Some greet me while others walk by, oblivious to who I am. I exit the elevator on our floor and see Mrs. Freer talking with two coworkers.Seeing me, she does a double-take. Quickly, she ends her conversation and heads toward me. "Ms. Vernon. This is a bewildering surprise.""Hi, Mrs. Freer. My name's Mrs. Knight now, and yes, I'm sure seeing me is surprising.""Mrs. Knight, wow. Well, congratulations. Now, may I know why you're here?""I need to speak with a professor, preferably one knowledgeable in astronomy.""Professor Floyd was a friend of Phyllis's. She asked for the same help right before she passed.""Mrs. Freer, it's terrible what happened to Phyllis. I'll admit, I was pretty heartless in the past, but I'm a new person. If possible, I'd a

    I decide to wait in the car and let Justine handle everything. Once Zelma opens the door, she sees me. Instantly, she gripes, "What is she doing here?"Justine says, "She needs our help, Zelma.""From the moment I first helped her, it's been nothing but tragedy for those I love. You promised me you wouldn't go to Knight Island.""If we hadn't gone, Ajay would've been stranded there.""I don't care!" Zelma shouts."We're not like that, Zelma." Justine sighs.As much as it hurts, Zelma is right. Since the moment I stepped on Knight Island, it's been nothing but devastation and death. Once we get to their home, I retrieve my suitcase and leave. I tell Justine, "I promise I'll be in touch."Before I exit, Zelma stops me, saying, "I don't hate you, Ajay.

    I'm hiding in what's left of this burned cabin when I hear voices. Realizing they're women, I rush out into the open. I see a woman running, and two chasing her. Then I hear, "Shellie, stop running!"I see Justine and cry out, "Justine! Over here!""Ajay? Is that you?" Justine shouts.Immediately, Shellie stops and runs toward me. Dottie and Justine come to me as well. They all stood staring my way, speechless. Slowly, Justine reaches to touch me and asks, "Are you okay?"The only thing I could do was cry. All three of them huddle around me. These strange sounds in the distance make Dottie say, "I think we need to go.""Are you alone? Where's Jude?" Justine asks."I'm alone, and Dottie's right. We need to leave."They have food and liquor on their boat. All three care for me until I'm no longer trembling from fear. We're miles away from the island when Justine asks, "Do you want to talk about it?"How do I explain this? Honestly, I don't know what happened myself. Coughing to clear my

    Zelma doesn't know. I've been looking for Ajay forever. After I learned she practiced witchcraft, I told Zelma. Zelma warned me, "Knight Island was demonic. We just didn't know it. Dad was privy to some information but tragically learned it wasn't just superstition and ghost stories."I'd called Ajay but she never called back. Then, I decided to wait for her in the library's occult section. Afraid other students would see me and think I was a witch, I started asking about her instead.The student aid at the desk knew who she was. He told me, "Ajay is great. I haven't seen her in a minute, but sometimes she'd go to the coffee shop down the street."Cafe Sheol made me look more sketchy than sitting in the library. Only the barista and I are present. I go to the counter, order a tall latte, and ask, "Hi Cecily, I'm Justine. Do you remember a girl named Ajay being a customer?"Before I can describe her, Cecily answers, "Of course. I love Ajay.

As I gaze out into the stars, I think, I wish someone loved me.The Michaels have four foster children. All four of us are girls. We're all around the same age. I climb out of bed to use the toilet and overhear my foster parents discussing how one of the girls has been adopted.I hurry back to my room, crying. Now, staring into the night sky again, I whisper, "Please let someone love me." The following morning, Aunt Irene adopted me.It's my senior year of high school. My boyfriend, Benjamin, and I ditch prom and drive to the marina. We sneak in and lie in someone's boat. Lying beside each other, we gaze up into the sky, and he asks, "Do you think anyone's truly out there?"I answer, "Look how beautiful and vast the sky is.

    After weeks of sailing, we find nothing. We return to Brazil, and Jude says, "Let's just go home."The closer we get to Knight Island, the more uneasy I feel. Early morning, we leave Florida. Soon, the island appears, but it's no longer the paradise I knew. It's burning wasteland. Wide-eyed, I look at Jude, but he's expressionless. I stammer, "W-What happened?"Knight Island looks exactly like the island I spent a night alone on. Had I swam all the way here and then returned to another location near Columbia? Our boat hits a rock behind this burned-down villa. Jude anchors our boat and then stretches out his hand. Nervous, I lightly place my palm in his. He helps me to shore. Once he releases me, I stare into his eyes.Exhaling, he pans across the island, saying, "They would've told my secret. I start to panic, but a still voice calmly says, "Agree with him."Through a shaky voice, I say, "You're right, babe."Jude cuts his eyes at me and says, "Come here. I'll carry you."He lifts

Each innocent face intently gazes at Mrs. Dotson, anticipating her reading.She looks up and sees me standing in her doorway. Her eyes light up, and she says, "Kind day to you, Mr. Knight. Is there something that you need?""I'm celebrating my birthday. I hoped to leave a tad earlier.
