‘What the hell Claire?’‘What’s wrong, Boo-boo?’ she says and tries to cup my face. I lean back, avoiding her touch.‘You can’t just kiss me like that.’‘Why not?’‘Because you just can’t.’‘Oh, I see, too soon?’‘Yes, too soon, Claire, we haven’t even been on a date yet,’‘I’m sorry, Boo-boo, I’ll hold off until then,’‘I’d appreciate that,’‘Now, are you going to try this shirt on?’I take the shirt and put it on.‘Oh, very smooth, now try this one on.’‘This one is fine, Claire. We have an outfit picked there. It’s time I take you home,’‘So soon?’‘Yeah, I forgot I have an um… assignment.’‘Oh, okay then,’On my way out of the Packhouse, I run into Seth.‘Hey Magnus, where are you off to?’‘Taking Claire home. She lives near the school.’‘I’m about to drive past the school. I can drop Claire home if you like?’‘Oh, could you?’ I say, a little too excited, to Claire’s dismay.‘Sure,’‘Great!’ I take Claire’s hand and help her in the car and shut the door before she can kiss me on t

‘Do you want me to call your parents to come to pick you up from school?’‘No, I’ll stay,’‘I’d prefer you go home and put ice on your face, Magnus.’‘Look, I’m staying, okay? If it makes you feel better, I’ll rest here for the next period until recess.’‘Okay, well, I’ll get you an ice pack then.’She returns a moment later and hands me the icepack; I hold it against my swollen black eye for the next hour. Then, finally, the recess bell goes. I toss the icepack onto Nurse Carla’s table and walk to the cafeteria. Students stare and whisper as I walk by them.‘I heard he knocked Moss out and almost killed him.’‘Well, I heard he picked Moss up with one hand and threw him halfway across the oval,’Well, at least the whispers and rumours were to my liking. Entering the cafeteria, Claire lets out a gasp and races towards me. She cups my face.‘Boo-boo, I heard there were rumours a fight broke out. I did not know it involved you. Oh, my poor snookums,’ she says, embracing me. I notice Nina

It’s the end of the school day. Josie and Flint meet at my locker.‘Hey, bro, ready to go home?’ Flint asks.‘I’d rather them not see my face, but I don’t have a choice. So I suppose we better get home so I can face the music.’Nina was home before us, and, as expected, mum and dad were standing at the front door looking as mad as a hatter himself.‘Magnus, we received a phone call from the school today stating you got into a fight with the new boy and, from looking at your face, I’d say they gave us accurate information.’ Mum says, unimpressed. Dad walks to me and places his hand on my shoulder.‘Son, what were you thinking? You will be Alpha before you know it, and here you are, beating up the new boy. You have some explaining to do.’‘I may have accidentally nudged him at PE, and it turned into a fight.’‘And why did you accidentally nudge him?’Perfect timing. I look over Dad’s shoulder as Nina approaches. Dad raises his eyebrow at Nina, then back at me.‘I see… well, I hope we d

Claire stands on her front lawn looking for me. She is wearing a pink fitted dress with one sleeve and some frills with her freshly curled hair draped over one shoulder. Claire looks simply gorgeous. She races up to me with a smile on her face.‘Oh Boo-boo, I’m so happy to see you,’ she says, giving me a peck on the cheek. I realise I may have been ungrateful towards Claire all this time. She seems to like me a lot, and although she can be pretty overbearing, she has been nothing but supportive and sweet towards me. I can’t help but feel Nina will never forgive me and never want to be my friend again. It’s a hole inside me that will be there forever, but I shouldn’t make others who care about me suffer. Nina has moved on, although I would have preferred her to move on with anyone other than Moss. I can’t help but sense something is off about that guy, but I need to focus on what is in front of me.‘You look lovely, Claire.’She steps back and does a twirl. ‘I’m glad you like it. Let’s

‘I said no, now leave me alone!’‘Come on, babe. Just a little kiss is all I’m asking for.’ Sean says.‘Let me go, you jerk!’Sean is holding her arms against the wall of the house. She can’t move. I walk up behind Sean and put him in a lock hold. I break his arm. Nina jumps at the sound of his arm snapping.‘If you ever touch her again, I will kill you.’ I say as my eyes turn entirely black. There is a force inside me struggling not to kill him, not to rip his head off now. It’s overwhelmingly powerful. I have felt nothing like it in my life. I’m fighting myself as I also fight Sean down as he tries to escape. He is screaming and holding his broken arm. I fling him into the swimming pool. It's that, or I snap his neck, and the last thing I need right now is to end up in wolf prison.I hunch over heaving. My muscles feel as if they are growing bigger. I think I’m slowly growing bigger and stronger. I’m overwhelmed with anger, and I’m struggling to control it.Everyone has run out of t

My mother falls to her knees and tries to comfort me. I’m covered in sweat and feel immense pain.‘What is wrong with him, Ryker?’‘I don’t know. Magnus shouldn’t be in pain. I’ve never seen a shift like this before. Something isn’t right. Let’s get Magnus to his room and call the Pack doctor.’Seth, Leon, and my dad carry me to my room.‘He’s got a fever.’ Mum says, touching my forehead.Seth leaves to get the Pack doctor while mum stays by my side, wiping my face with a cold face washer. My whole body is shaking, and I cannot speak.‘Maybe it has something to do with shifting early?’ Dad suggests.‘Maybe.’ Mum frowns.The pack doctor arrives and takes my obs.‘He has a fever, but I’m struggling to see how it has anything to do with shifting. And you mentioned he was in immense pain when he shifted back?’‘Yes, he was screaming in pain, doctor.’ Dad says.‘I see, well, I don’t know what to say. I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ll take some blood samples and see if I can find any

‘My curse?’ Nina says.‘Yes, your curse.’ She replies.‘Are you implying Nina has been playing with magic and cursed my son?’ mother asks.‘No, but she has a curse shadowing her. It’s affecting Magnus.’‘I’m sorry, but you must be mistaken? I’m not cursed.’ Nina says.Yiselda looks Nina up and down.‘Oh, you’re cursed, sweetheart. I can see it lingering all around you.’‘What kind of curse? How do I get rid of it?’‘What kind of curse, for I do not know and how to break it. Only the one who cursed you knows how. Until then, you are stuck with it.’‘How do I find out who cursed me, then?’‘Only time will tell.’ She looks back over at Magnus and approaches.She hovers a hand over him and says an incantation. ‘The fever will break soon. But, in the meantime, until the curse breaks, I suggest you tell him to avoid shifting.’‘Why is that?’ mother asks.‘It’s going to hurt every time he shifts.’ Yiselda takes her leave without saying another word.‘We need to have a pack meeting immediatel

I wake up in the nurse’s office with a throbbing headache and look around the room.Flint is with me.‘What happened?’‘Moss decided dodgeball wasn’t over yet… he ran up behind you and threw the ball at her head with all his strength and knocked you out. He is in the principal’s office.’Nina runs into the nurse station and takes my hand.‘I heard what happened. Moss should not have done that. I’m so sorry. I will talk to Moss and make sure he does nothing stupid again.’‘Nina, it’s not your fault. You don’t need to apologise.’‘He just doesn’t like us being friends again, but he will have to accept it.’Claire runs in takes my hand from Nina’s grip. ‘Boo-boo, are you okay?’‘Yeah, every minute that goes by, the pain subsides.’The nurse walks in, ‘That’s because you have your wolf now. You will heal quickly.’ She smiles. ‘Do you feel okay to return to class?’‘Yes, I think I’ll be fine.’ I say and get up from the bed.‘Thanks for checking on me, Nina. I appreciate it.’ I say, waving.

More thunder and lightning flash through the sky above us and turns into a wild storm raining down on us. As I hold Nina in my lap, I feel the electric static where ever our skin touches. It feels amazing. Our eyes turn black. ‘Mate.’ We say in unison. Nina lets out another scream. ‘Try not to fight it, Nina. It will hurt less if you let your wolf take over.’ I say, stroking my fingers through her hair. ‘It hurts,’ ‘I know, babe. I’m here, and I will help you through this.’ She nods and tries her best to relax. Black fur covers her as she shifts into her wolf. My breath is taken away. Her wolf is pure black with a white-shaped star on her forehead. ‘Nina, your wolf is so beautiful. You even have a white star on your forehead. I’ve never seen anything like this.’ I say, stroking her fur. She steps back, prances happily in wolf form, and then nudges into my shoulder. ‘You want me to shift too?’ She shakes her head. ‘Well, if the curse is broken, I should no longer feel any pain

We sit by the fire and keep warm. I lay on my back and looked up at the stars. Nina lies on her back next to me.'I miss my mum and dad.' Nina says.'I miss my family, too.''Would you believe I'm even missing May?''You, miss May? Never.' I smile.'What if it's months or years until we ever see them again?''We have each other. You and me now against the world until I find my mate.' I sigh.'Yeah.' Nina frowns and stands up. 'I'm going to go for a walk.''I'll come.''No, please stay. Some time to myself is what I need. I won't go far. I promise.' She says with sadness.'Oh, okay.'I watch as she wanders further into the darkness of the woods. Why did she become so sad suddenly? She is going through a lot, having no wolf, a curse, and a witch hunt after her. I wish I could hold her, smell her mint and lavender hair, and tell her everything will be okay. If I could choose my fated mate, I would select Nina in a heartbeat.Nina returns with red puffy eyes. She has been crying.'Are you

I chase after her.‘I’m sorry, that never crossed my mind.’ I fall to my knees. ‘I’m the biggest idiot ever to exist.’ Nina stops running and turns to look at me. ‘We were the best of friends once. I thought the pack saw me as one big joke. I pushed you away and ignored you for years because of it. Then I made things even worse. I cursed you, and now you don’t have a wolf. And you won’t be able to sense your mate until I find mine. All I ever wanted was to protect you and keep you safe, but all I’ve done is cause you hurt and pain. I’m so sorry. Will you ever forgive me?’ I cry.Nina morbidly approaches me and falls to her knees in front of me. Our knees are touching. She takes my hands and holds them in hers. I can feel her hands trembling.We gaze at each other with tear-filled eyes. Nina bursts into tears and wraps her arms around my neck. I hold her tight and cry into her soft brown hair.‘All those years, you say you ignored me; you never did. Every day we had breakfast and dinne

Nina takes a step back, putting distance between us.‘Why would you do that to me? Why would you put a curse on me, Magnus?’ she yells.‘She is cursed?’ someone yells.Nina looks at me with tear-filled eyes and a look of anger and hurt in her eyes.‘Well, that’s one less thing I don’t have to tell.’ Hank says.Nina and I glare at him. ‘Nina has a curse that affects your dear future, Alpha. He can’t shift naturally without severe pain, as you all know, but you don’t know it’s because of her curse!’ he shouts and points to Nina.Everyone glares and point at Nina.‘No, leave her alone! It’s not her fault.’ I say, pulling Nina behind my back.‘I have the proof that Nina is not what she seems. She has no wolf because she is a witch and cursed you, future Alpha.’ he shouts and points a remote up, pressing a button. The projection screen shows a video of Nina and me and the lake earlier today. Nina is casting spells.There is a sudden uproar of pack members and people from other packs yellin

‘You scared me, Magnus! Don’t sneak up on me like that again.’‘Sorry.’ I say, ringing my shirt out.Nina moves over to a dry area on the grass. I sit opposite her.‘What are you doing, Magnus?’‘Monitoring you, so you don’t get caught.’‘I will not get caught, Magnus.’‘What spell are you going to try now?’ I say, changing the subject.‘There is one here called The Blinking Spell, which says to focus on an area you can see in the distance, wave your wand, and say Skedaddle Dash. This will port you in that area. This spell can make you blink or teleport up to a one thousand metre radius at a time.’‘Think of how quickly you can get to school with that spell?’ I laugh.Nina rolls her eyes and stands up. She walks roughly five metres away from me and looks past me into the distance.‘Okay, here goes nothing.’ She says, waving her wand. ‘Skedaddle Dash!’She disappears for a split second; I suddenly felt a weight on my lap. I look down to see Nina blushing as I hold her like a baby in my

‘This is impossible.’ My father says, standing up. ‘This can’t be happening. Magic has been long gone and forbidden for many years. We only found out that a few witches still exist when you had the terrible fever, Magnus.’‘Nina, you and your sister cannot experiment with this. You are already in danger. If everyone finds out, you are cursed and that it affects Magnus and now to know you can cast magic. It will cause mass panic. Everyone will hunt you and May down. The only way to keep the secret safe is not to cast magic. My mother says.I know how much being able to cast spells meant to Nina. She was trying hard to hold back any tears and hid her feelings from everyone.‘We need to figure out how this is even possible.’ Dad says.We all look at Leon and Amelia. Leon shrugs his shoulders.‘I’m in just as much shock as you all are. I swear I do not know.’ He says, then looks at Amelia, who has the look of guilt written all over her face. ‘Amelia?’ Leon says.‘Well, you see. There is s

As soon as the sun rose, Leon came out to the car.‘You look worse every time I see you, Magnus.’‘Are the girls ready to go? I want to get out of here.’ I say, ignoring his observations of me.‘Yeah, I’ll tell them to hurry it up.’‘Good.’ I say and sit in the front passenger’s seat.The girls climb in the back, talking to one another as I stare out the front window. I pull the visor in front of me down and slide the panel across, exposing the small mirror. Leon wasn’t wrong when he commented about my appearance. The bags under my eyes have only gotten bigger and darker. I notice May give Nina a look and gesture her head at me. She was hinting to Nina to say something to me. Nina glares at May, shakes her head no, and looks out the side window, avoiding me.Leon enters the driver’s seat and puts the radio on to break the silence.May sings along to half the songs throughout the day. We stop for petrol and Leon buys snacks for everyone while we are there. The girls tell Leon they are

We arrive at the car.‘I’ll mind-link Alpha Ryker and let them know we have Nina and that we are safe.’I open the back passenger door—Gianna steps in, then Nina. May sits in the front. My heart rate increases as I get to sit next to Nina. I unzip the bag at my feet and pass out a bottle of water to everyone. Nina and Gianna scull the water down before I hand them snacks. They moan as they eat the food, especially Gianna. She eats a packet of chips, a muesli bar and three chocolate bars.‘This is so good. I’ve never had food like this before, not even when I was at the orphanage.’ She says with her mouth full of food.‘We will get you a proper meal when we reach the next town.’ Leon says to her while adjusting the rear-view mirror.As we reach the town, we park outside the diner. We raced inside, causing a lot of attention from the diners and staff. We sit at the nearest table and wave the waitress over. She takes the pen from behind her ear and the notepad from her pocket.‘What woul

The older woman grabs the younger woman’s shoulder but stares at me.‘It’s over for now, but this won’t be the last you see of us.’ She hisses.I growl and step towards them. May places her hand on my back.‘No, let them go. We need to find Nina. We can worry about them later.’She says as the two women quickly shift and run away. I shift back and yell in pain. After a few minutes, I’m in my human form. Leon shifts back as well.‘Nina!’ I cry out.There are dead bodies everywhere. Gianna is sobbing. May approaches her and unties her from the post and the rope from her wrists. I hear a moan and a mumble and run towards the sound. Pushing a couple of bodies aside, I find Nina.‘Nina, I’m here. You’re safe now.’ I say, untying her wrists. She squints her eyes, letting them adjust. The look of relief shows on her face. She sits up and lunges into my lap, wrapping her arms around my neck, and cries into my chest.‘You came for me. You found me.’‘Of course, we came for you, Nina. I would s
