“So when sodium and potassium connect with water, the reaction causes the chemicals to explode.” Mr Edwards informed us as he stood before the class, wiggling the alkali metal in his fingers.

“Are you going to show us, Sir?” Archie shouted out, capturing the teachers attention.

Mr Edwards shook his head. “No, it’s far too messy. Anyway, you understand the point.” Well that was a waste of time.

The class groaned in boredom as Mr Edwards placed the rock back on his desk, before removing his gloves. “I’m going to collect the quiz from my office. I’ll not be a moment.” Mr Edwards nodded with a poker face before turning to leave the classroom.

Archie groaned loudly as he rested his head on my shoulder. “It’s the last week before summer and he’s handing out another test. What a kill joy. Why can’t we have some fun?”

I giggled as I played with Archie’s curls. Then suddenly, an idea came to me and a mischievous smile formed on my lips. “I have a feeling this day is about to get much more

    “That bitch.” I muttered.Could it really be her? Yes, she does hate me but to stoop to this level and help Skylar? There has to be more to it, surely.Frankly, I was kicking myself for not putting this together before. Betty was essentially family, whether Nate recognises it or not. Of course the enchantment would acknowledge her and grant access to the dungeons. She shared Nate’s blood.I glanced at Nate. Gone was the flirty smoulder and the seductive smirks I had grown so used too, now he was was wearing his emotions on his face and he looked ready to kill.I placed the iPad back down on Nate’s desk. “We need to talk to Danny, now.”Nate nodded in agreement. “We were waiting for you. Georgina has him outside, he’s waiting to come in.”I placed my hands on my hips, with a determined expression. “Bring him in.” I told Jacques, who nodded and opened the office door.The sound of rattling metals could be heard, before Georgina and Danny came into my eyesight. Danny appeared exhausted,

    After around an hours drive, we had arrived at the Blue Crescent Pack. It had been almost a year since I had last visited, yet it felt as though it was only yesterday my mother had sent me here for the summer so my auntie could ‘try and straighten me out’ or so she said. Truthfully, my aunt and I were as thick as thieves. In actual fact, my rebellious personality had likely been influenced by her. When she lived at Lotus, before meeting Bryan, we would constantly play pranks on the pack. It was our favourite form of bonding. I felt it a lot when she left. However, seeing how in love she was with Bryan made it easy to understand why she had to leave. Even more so now I have Nate. Our SUV’s trailed down the dirt paths, being led into the middle of the woods. The Blue Crescent Pack was in the middle of a large forest, perfectly hidden from human residents in local communities. The hidden track went on for miles before you were met with any form of life, or so humans would think if the

    I let out an exasperated sigh as my eyes shot open. It was hopeless, the anticipation of whether my plan had worked was causing a serious inability to sleep. It was infuriating, this waiting game. I rolled onto my side whilst reaching out my arm to hold onto Nate’s warm body, only I was met with a cold emptiness. That’s strange. Where could he be? I checked the time on my phone, which was resting on the night stand. 2:03 am. “You’re doing too much thinking, shut up and go to sleep.” Leia yawned. I rolled my eyes as I left the cosy embrace of the bed to go and find Nate. My blonde waves fell down my back as I straightened out my silk, black night dress. There was something about silk against my skin, it felt delightful. I tiptoed down the hall, trying to be as quiet as I could. I really didn’t feel like waiting up a bunch of tired werewolves, that had disaster written all over it. I sneakily made my way to the kitchen as an apparent thirst formed in my mouth, but as I entered the

    Within moments I was dressed and frantically running out into the clearing, with Nate on my tail. The feeling of exhaustion had rapidly vanished as a sudden boost of energy had taken over. I felt fearless, invincible even. “Don’t shift. Skylar thinks you’re wolfless, we don’t want that advantage taken away.” Nate’s voice echoed in my mind. “Noted. Which side are they attacking from?” I asked him. I realised in my sudden outburst of dashing outside, I actually hadn’t asked where the rogues had come from. “East boarder. No magic either!” He warned. Well, where’s the fun in that? However I knew it was a necessary sacrifice, that was another advantage we really couldn’t afford to have taken away. We soon arrived at the east edge of the pack grounds. To say the scene was carnage, well that would be an understatement. The woods echoed with painful howls and whimpers, as wolves frequently dropped to the ground. Alpha Bryan’s men were getting ambushed by multiple rogues at once and were

    As we sat in the dining room, I couldn’t help but ponder on how complicated everything had gotten. Little over three months ago, I was living in my fathers pack without Leia and consistently getting grounded for acting ‘rebelliously’ or so my mother would call it. Now, I have a mate. Not just any mate, but the Werewolf King making me the future Queen. I have my wolf, Leia- “Who’s awesome, by the way,” Leia chimed in. Alright, correction. I have an awesome wolf, Leia. I’m half faerie, well actually faerie royalty. I have another fae trying to kill me so she can keep my crown, not that I asked for it back anyway. She’s also keeping my mate’s brother hostage as leverage. Oh, and my mate’s pain in the ass cousin is trying to help get me killed. To say things had gotten out of hand, well that was the biggest understatement of the year. Nate gently squeezed my hand, bringing me back to reality. “Alright, we need to come up with a plan. Now we know Betty is working against us, we need to

    “How so?” I queried. Nate took a seat back at the dining table as he cautiously eyed Maddie, before gripping my hips and pulling me down on his lap. Joe flashed Maddie half a smile, almost as if he was offering encouragement. An uneasy feeling grew in the pit of my stomach as I anxiously anticipated what was to come. “Alright.” Maddie begun, as she inhaled deeply. “As you all know, I don’t have a wolf.” I frowned as I listened to her, I couldn’t help but consider how off topic this conversation was heading. “The time will come, Maddie. Don’t worry.” Amber gave her a reassuring smile, but Maddie shook her head in response. “No, the time won’t ever come. You see, I’ll never get one because I’m not a werewolf.” I studied her face for a sign that she was joking, but all I found was a stern, determined expression. Nate’s grip around my waist tightened, as his jaw clenched. Archie’s eyes darted around the room, glancing at each of us in search for an indication of what was going on, bu

    Nate’s POV After an exhaustingly long morning of training, I finally found my way back to my office. Since coming home from the Blue Crescent Pack, training had been full on. There wasn’t a chance in hell I would allow Serena’s plan to confront Skylar come into fruition if she wasn’t 100% ready. But frankly, I’d never known her take her training as seriously as she had been over the last couple of days. I was convinced I’d woken up in a parallel universe when she was readily awaiting her first training session at 6am yesterday morning. Getting her out of bed is a task at the best of times, yet there she was stood at the bedroom door impatiently tapping away as I was yet to wake up. I had to rub my eyes a ridiculous amount of times to double check I wasn’t imagining things. As much as her safety was an increasing concern of mine, I couldn’t deny how strong she was becoming. She was harnessing her powers beautifully, control was barely an issue at this point. However, as much as I l

    Serena’s POV “So, that’s it? She’s left the academy?” I creased my forehead as I stared at Nate in disbelief. It sounded too good to be true. Nate pressed his lips together to form a line as he firmly nodded his head, just once. “Mrs White confirmed it. Alpha Cole picked her up an hour ago.” A rush of relief ran through me, as I let out a content sigh. I laced my fingers through Nate’s, momentarily basking in the joyous sensation from the sparks, before redirecting my attention to the footpath ahead. As the corners of my lips curved, Nate gently squeezed my hand. I could sense the relief he felt through the bond, this was a problem he could easily solve. Alexis wasn’t at the top of our problem list, but she was certainly up there and Nate had managed to fix it. I stared at the vast blue sky, whilst enjoying the sound of the wind speaking as it whistles through the towering trees. Only that, and the echo of the birds singing their favourite melody could be heard, as well as our fo

    Five years later…Laughter filled the room next door, followed by a hasty “shh!” by Nate.I shook my head in dismay, chuckling as I overheard the scene. I flipped the duvet off my legs, before shuffling my feet inside the slippers resting at my bedside.I tiptoed across the floorboards, desperately trying to not make a sound, before gently twisting the door to our bed chambers.I creeped along the hallway until I reached the door of our nursery. I quietly rested my head against the wooden frame, listening in to whatever was so amusing.“Ahhh!” Nate exclaimed, before being followed by a concerning loud thud. Giggles echoed thereafter, as footsteps of tiny feet could be heard pitter-pattering along the floorboards.Choosing to go with the element of surprise, I abruptly flung open the door before me. Suddenly, three pairs of alarmed eyes cast over me as they realised they’d been caught in the act.I folded my arms across my chest, pretending to be furious at what I had found. “Well well

    “You’re pregnant?” Amber squealed, as she jumped up and down in excitement. “With a baby?” Terror overlooked Archie’s face, he was never much a kid person. “This is so exciting!” Maddie exclaimed, clapping her hands together repeatedly. I laughed loudly at each other their reactions, before placing my hand on Archie’s shoulder. “Yes, Archie. With a baby.” His eyes widened. “Oh goddess.” He muttered, before his eyes darted to the floor. Anyone would think it was him who was having a pup. “Could this day get any more special?” Maddie welled up beside me, wafting her hand against her face in order to protect her makeup. I gleamed as looked at each of my best friends, each so beautiful in their own way. We’d already faced so many challenges together and this would be another to add to the list. Maddie was right, today truly couldn’t become any more special. As Maddie and Amber donned their pale blue bridesmaid dresses, the realty of my future started to set in. This is what we had

    Nate had insisted I went to see the nurse this morning, after experiencing continuous dizzy spells and waves of nausea since yesterday evening. I repeatedly told him I’d more than likely eaten something funny, but he wouldn’t settle with that reason. So after a huff and a puff, I stripped off my stubborn boots and finally agreed to see the nurse. Frankly, I think he needed the distraction anyway. So as Nate paced around the nurse’s office anxiously awaiting my blood results, I laid awkwardly on the hospital bed twiddling my fingers, trying not to bring the new hit of nausea I was suffering from to his attention. As the brunette nurse, I now knew was named Mary, reentered her office Nate threw his hands in the air with an exasperated sigh. “Finally!” He muttered, as he took his place back by my side. I rolled my eyes at his dramatics, choosing to ignore his impatience, even though we’d only be waiting approximately 6 minutes. I’d learnt to pick my battles with Nate, some comments j

    It had been a draining couple of days since we finally revealed the truth. Questions had been coming at me from every possible direction from those trying to understand what being a hybrid truly meant, which typically resulted in me using some form of magic to demonstrate my capabilities. But the excitement was wearing down, as a new daunting reality started to set in. One that would leave an everlasting effect on my beloved mate. William’s execution day. After going back and forth over whether Nate had made the correct decision, he ultimately decided that he had. In his eyes, he knew it wasn’t right for his brother to escape the consequences another werewolf who had committed the same crimes would receive. So today was the day. Nate would finally say goodbye to his brother once and for all. But that wasn’t the only big event happening today. This morning I would be escorting my mother back to Midsummer, where she will temporarily take control of the throne until I have settled i

    Serena’s POVNate tangled the ends of my hair around the tips of his fingers, as he gazed out our chamber’s window absentmindedly. The responsibility of choosing an appropriate punishment for his own brother, well it was never something he had expected to do.This time yesterday he had been expecting a warm family reunion once he had saved William from what he believed was a threat. Who could have guessed William was the real threat.He had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Other than support him in his decision, there wasn’t much I could do. Nate had to figure this one out on his own. Whatever decision he made, I’d stand by him.With a heavy sigh, he turned his head against the pillow and met my gaze. His eyes were sunken, dulled by the burden he bared. “I know what I’m going to do.” His lips formed a tight line.I gently placed my palm on his cheek, offering physical support. “Whatever it is, I’ll be right behind you.”His pupils dilated as a warm smile spread across his lip

    Third Person’s POV Serena sobbed uncontrollably as she held her mate’s lifeless body, refusing to accept the fate she’d been handed. She pulled him in closer, stroking the side of his cheek as the tears from her weeps fell onto him one by one. She locked eyes with her mates so called brother. Anger seethed through her, bubbling in her veins every millisecond longer she watched Nate’s killer. “How could you do this?” She spat, venom laced in her voice. William sighed as his eyes darted to the ceiling. “Do you have any idea what it was like? Living in his shadow? Always Nate this, Nate that. He was so bloody perfect, I couldn’t possibly compare.” He gritted through his teeth as he relived the memories. William had always been jealous of the attention Nate had received. He had tried his very best to be the perfect prince for his father, putting in extra hours of combat training and studying until early hours of the morning, learning the perfect etiquette and the responsibilities bei

    Third Person’s POV One by one the warriors were discreetly taken out. However, the more that went missing, the more likely it was for the remaining warriors to notice. They were running out of time, it wouldn’t take much longer for their presence to be revealed. It wasn’t the warriors noticing that would be the issue, it was the beckoning call they were likely to make to Skylar. As the bodies piled up behind the abandoned house, Maddie watched from afar as she waited for a signal or saw some form of distress. Hidden behind a overgrown hedge, neck deep in the woods, she desperately tried to remain as quiet as she could. She reminded herself repetitively of all that not only she was capable of, but the loved ones she was watching eliminate the threat. Whilst she was a powerful witch, she’d never actually had to use her powers in a fight before. So her hesitation… well, it was a little understandable. Just as the men set out to remove the final four warriors, one of them caught a gl

    “Are you ready?” Nate asked, his voice was mellifluous and calm, slowly easing away my anxieties.He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him. His green emeralds bored into mine, flickering with determination.A comforting smile crept onto his lips, reminding me of his certainty. I nodded my head firmly, allowing the fire within the take the reign. “I’m ready.” I demanded.He quickly enveloped me into a tight hug, before capturing my cheeks in his palms and placing a hard, passionate kiss on my lips.This is what I was fighting for.“Go get her, baby girl. Remember, I’ll be close by the entire time. You aren’t doing this alone, we’re a team.” He promised, before softly placing his lips on my forehead one final time.“Leia, do your worst.” His voice echoed in my mind.“You don’t have to ask me twice.” She snorted, resulting in a laugh erupting from Nate.“I didn’t doubt it.” He confirmed. “Okay, update me as often as you can.”I glanced longingly at him once last time

    “Alright.” Nate sighed as he released his grip around my waist. “But keep your mind link open so I can have regular updates.” He raised his brows as he narrowed his eyes at me. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him, as I shook my head ever-so-slightly. “Like I would ever shut you out, wolfie.” I rummaged my fingers through his raven locks, before rising to my feet and offering him a final smile as I left the room and headed toward the academy dorms. “What do you think she looks like?” Leia blurted out suddenly as I dragged my feet against the gravel pathway. “Who?” I asked, knowing she couldn’t be asking about Betty. We’d unfortunately had the luxury of seeing her morbid face every day for the last few months. I couldn’t help but wonder what Nate had planned for her, she may have betrayed us but at the end of it all, she was still his family. Much to his dismay, whether he chooses to acknowledge that or not. “Who else? The wicked witch of the west.” Leia grumbled. I let out a l
