I gazed dreamily out of the airplane window, watching the vast clouds stretch towards the horizon. Seeing the clouds was both soothing and exhilarating. I always found myself amused by the idea of levitating up to the clouds from an airplane.
The thought of the fear that would be registered on the pilot's face was enough to send the plane crashing.
My smile disappeared when I noticed two friends speed-talking with each other like they were sharing exciting gossip.
One of them burst into a throaty laugh, reminding me of Mia. She still wasn't talking to me, and even when I said goodbye to her, her response was nothing more than a non-committal hug.
Alex tried to intervene, but Mia shut him out, and it grew exhausting to watch her ignore me.
Dad's worry drove us to spend the midterm at home. Well, it wasn't officially midterm, but the pa

AthenaI hadn't visited the sacred temple of the goddess in over a year because I had understanding parents who didn’t want me to become bound to the goddess. Dad wanted me to explore, and even though Mom was afraid of the consequences of staying away from my purpose in life, she didn’t push it.For that, I would be forever grateful.The structure was white and the largest building in the pack. One of the servants rang a large bronze bell, calling devotees to worship. My eyes traced the crescent motifs decorating the temple's exterior, symbols of the goddess's powers. I walked past two huge pillars that flanked the main entrance, guarded by wolf statues that stared out at the heavens.No matter how many times I had come here, the design always took my breath away. The ceiling was about twenty feet above me, and the altar had a massive marble statue of the Moon Goddess. They made her

CameronAthena wanted me badly. She was careful not to let her fingers touch me, denying herself the mutual pleasure we both felt.I've never wanted to make love to a female so intensely. Athena made me come alive. I forced myself to slow down, straining my body and mind, fighting the rush that built within me.“Kiss me,” I said, my heart pounding in an erratic rhythm. It was harsh and uneven, causing a bright shiver to ripple through me.“We can't do that here; we're too close to the admin block.”Her response made my cock spring to life. At least she wasn't rejecting me.“We can hide under the pavilion over there,” I suggested, my voice growing low and thirsty. She didn’t hesitate.I led the way across the grounds toward the huge pavilion. We stepped inside without hesitation and pulled each oth

AthenaI held my breath as I walked back to my friends, away from Cameron's mom's scrutinizing gaze. When someone doesn't like you, it's as clear as day, especially for someone like me who can read people.Maybe she could tell I was a witch. Even now, as I stood with Mia, I could still see Cameron's mother's distaste for me written all over her face.And it stung.I tried to focus on other things and not let Cameron's mother's lack of acceptance ruin my mood. What good was her acceptance when I could potentially kill her son?That night, Cameron invited me to the rooftop. I pretended I hadn't been there before. Cameron had spare keys to the stairs leading to the rooftop. The privileges he had were astounding.The school faded into the night air as we reached the rooftop's edge. I knew I shouldn't be here. I was shooting myself in the foot by being alone with him.But I couldn't help it. It seemed that the more I resisted him, the harder he pushed his charms on me. He had a way of maki

AthenaI had never felt such a degree of irritation in my life. I felt like exploding and taking my anger out on Ivan. Instead, I dragged him by the hand, stomping against the pavement as we walked away.I made sure that Cameron was not following us, and when I was satisfied with the distance, I stopped outside one of the classroom blocks. It was 10 p.m., and there was no one around.My anger boiled over like a pot of boiling water. Ivan seemed nonchalant, his hair whipped by the wind, and he acted like he was doing me a favor. Breathless with rage, I poked his chest."How dare you!" I yelled, not caring that my voice was echoing into the night. "You have no right, no damn right, to expose a secret shared in confidence, no matter how angry you think you are!"Ivan looked baffled and scratched his head. "What do you mean? I didn't say anything.""Because I stopped you!" I snapped. "I don't know what right you think you have, but you have no right over me. None! You don't get to decide

AthenaMy heart threatened to collapse with panic as I rushed back to the dormitory, grasping the sides of my head and trying to regain control. I couldn't believe what I had just done.Surely that oak tree I levitated had crushed that fool's brain to powder, but I had to defend that innocent girl. I couldn't just stand by and watch him assault her. Still, the adrenaline that shot through my system made me feel as if I was choking, unable to get enough oxygen. I felt like throwing up and hoped no one had seen me.I reached the dorm and slipped in through the back fence, using my powers to levitate myself over the barrier. I made my way to my bed, threw myself onto the mattress, and covered myself with the blankets.I couldn't stop shaking. My body trembled with the aftershocks of what I had done. I felt a heavy sensation of power running through my veins, but I didn't want to live my life like this, killing people. I didn't want to be evil and get used to the feeling of bloodlust. I w

CameronAthena's body was the most supple and the softest I'd ever touched. She moved seductively, grinding rhythmically into my fly with each thrust and the sensation overwhelmed me. I was going to burst a fucking nut.Even though we weren't technically together, I still couldn't resist her. As much as I wanted to, I decided to wait until she was ready. She'd be mine after all and I didn't want to scare her. My breath grew ragged as I had my way with her. This was right. I slapped her ass to watch it ripple and ground my erection against her backside“You like this, don’t you?” She teased running her fingers along my arms as she swayed against me. “Yeah! Fuck yeah,” I grunted, moving to the beat of the music. Our hips bumped together and the heat between us intensified. Our hands found each other and danced intimately. My heart pounded furiously as she pushed herself against me, grinding to the beat of the music.“You’re a hot, sexy goddess. I want you to use me as your toy all ni

Athena's povThe students in the chemistry club were energized with excitement, their eyes sparkling and gleaming as they climbed aboard the long white bus heading to Valley Pelt for the annual chemistry competition.Luckily, the death of that abuser was swept under the carpet, and they blamed it on natural causes. He was buried immediately, and I felt a bit sympathetic for his poor wife, who was going to bear the brunt of widowhood and raising kids all by herself. I went down the bus aisle and spotted Cameron, who had reserved a seat for me in the back. I couldn't stop smiling and felt a flutter in my heart. The social night was wild, and I still couldn't believe what I had brought myself to do and the huge risk I was taking. But it's been five days now, and Cameron was fine."Are you always so hyper when you see me?" I joked when we sat together, surrounded by the rustle of bags. The chemistry fair was going to last for three days."Yep, I love being with you," he said shamelessly,

I sat on the floor, surrounded by the familiar comfort of my dorm, while Mia sat on my bed, helping me stretch my hair with a wide-tooth comb and oil. We won the chemistry fair with a landslide victory and returned with joy. Mom had always been the one to take care of my hair, spoiling me with regular treatments and styling, so it would take some time for me to develop my hair care routine. I closed my eyes, loving the sensation of Mia's fingers on my scalp."So tell me, did you fuck Cameron?""Ew! Why would I answer such a personal question? And why would I even do that? That would kill him!" I retorted harshly at her, turning around to face her. She was laughing."It's not funny!""But you love him, and I can tell you've messed around with him. You're unexplainably happy these days." I sighed and turned away, knowing that she was right. “Of course, I love him. He's my mate.”"Ouuu! Love that for you!" Mia clapped."Stop being ironic. You know this is all a bubble that will burst on

Her gaze turned icy, and a dangerous silence filled the space. She raised a hand, and one of the beings beside her started to protest, “This insolent mortal—”But the goddess silenced him with a mere flick of her wrist. She looked down at me, her gaze both fierce and intrigued, as if my words had stung her pride yet piqued her interest. For a moment, I thought she might strike me down right there, but instead, she leaned back and tilted her head.Then, to my utter shock, she softened her tone, almost mockingly, and said, “Come.”I blinked, barely able to believe what I was hearing. But I moved closer, though not daring to get too close to her throne. She extended a pale hand toward the water in front of her, and I felt my chest tighten as an image began to form within its depths. As I peered closer, my breath caught. There, in the water, was Cameron. He was awake, sitting up, though his body looked weak. I watched him clench his fists as if searching, hoping for something. For me.

AthenaFear gripped me as I took in the surroundings. Asking to see the goddess felt like signing up for a death sentence. No matter how dazzling this place looked, I wasn’t prepared to die.Not yet. I couldn't stand the thought of staying here without saying a proper goodbye to everyone who mattered to me. My mom, who had always loved me unconditionally, who did everything to keep me happy and supported me even when my choices went against the grain. If it weren't for my dad, she might have even encouraged me to stay with Cameron, consequences be damned. And then my dad, the fierce protector, who never once made me feel less than for being a hybrid daughter to an alpha. He kept my secret, shielded me, loved me as I was. I couldn’t leave without seeing him one last time.And Caleb, my brother, who I’d grown up with, spending days running wild on wings and horseback. I'd promised I’d be godmother to his future children. Leaving him felt like betraying that vow. But most of all, I

CameronI woke to the scratchy roughness of an old quilt draped over me and confusion clouded my mind. The fabric felt worn against my skin, and when I opened my eyes, I struggled to understand where the hell I was. This place made no sense. It was different from the world I was used to. it was dark, cramped, and unfamiliar, with a ceiling so low it felt like it was closing in on me. Claustrophobia clawed at my chest, and when I tried to sit up, dizziness washed over me. My body screamed in raw, unfiltered pain. Cuts and bruises marked every inch of my arms and hands. How did I end up here? And where exactly was "here"?There was an armless cot pressing uncomfortably against my chest, and my lips tasted like they’d been coated in bitter herbs. The scent of burning sage lingered thick in the air. Just then, the door creaked open, and my dad walked in. At first, he didn’t notice I was awake, but when he saw my eyes open, he let out a startled yelp and rushed over, his look was a mixt

93AthenaWhen I opened my eyes, grogginess clung to me. I couldn't move, but my silence was soon replaced by utter confusion. I couldn’t make sense of where I was. This place was beyond anything words could capture. Unnatural and unsettling silence wrapped around me like a thick blanket, pressing in from all sides. The earth I knew never held silence like this, never without the hum of life, the rustle of leaves, or distant calls of creatures.Here, there wasn’t a trace of an animal or human. Every object around me pulsed, as though it had a soul, especially the light that seemed soft but somehow divine, illuminating without blinding. Colors blazed from every direction, vibrant beyond any spectrum I’d ever seen, and far surpassing the limits of human sight.“What the hell?” I muttered, barely recognizing my own voice.The stillness was overwhelming. My eyes scanned the endless expanse until they landed on a huge mountain ahead that reached toward the sky. Its slopes gleamed with p

Athena I sprinted through the forest. Its twisted shadows closed in, each one feeling like it had a pulse of its own, hungry for terror. The night here was different—dense, suffocating, and as alive as anything I’d ever faced. The first horror to confront me was a banshee. Her ghostly figure rose from the mist, and her shriek pierced the silence like a blade, chilling me to the core. But that was all it did—wail and hover, as if mocking my fear. I clenched my jaw and pushed forward, refusing to let it distract me. I had one mission: to find the hidden power source that might save Cameron. There was no room for fear.The forest seemed determined to test me. The branches snagged at my clothes as if trying to pull me back. Shadows flickered in the corners of my vision, mocking me, but I kept moving and the urgency pushed me past exhaustion. The air grew colder and heavier with each step, and every breath felt like I was swallowing the darkness itself. It was as if the forest was dar

Athena I could hardly call my first attempt a victory. Yes, I’d ripped the snake’s fang free, and Cameron’s eyes had opened. His chest rose and fell as he breathed, bringing me a rush of relief so intense it nearly erased my exhaustion. I darted to his bedside, my heart pounding, ready to pull him back into the world.But just as quickly as hope flared, it burned out. His eyelids fluttered, but instead of finding calm, his body jerked violently, as if he was still fighting some unseen demons. Words tumbled from his lips, slurred and frantic, fragments of terror that didn’t make sense.“No… no, leave me alone!” he shouted, thrashing against the sheets.His face twisted in a fear that cut deeper than any wound. The joy I’d felt twisted into dread, eating at my chest. I reached out and gripped his shoulder. “Cameron, baby, it’s me. You’re safe.”But he looked past me as though I were a stranger. My so-called victory had a bitter edge, leaving him trapped somewhere far away, unreachable.

AthenaThe next morning, every inch of my body begged for rest, muscles throbbing and bones aching, but I refused to leave Cameron’s side. No amount of pain could pull me away. And King Marcus lack of trust was as thick as fog, hanging over us all. He didn’t bother hiding his disgust at being here, surrounded by witches, as if the very air offended him.I had gone out of my way to make things as comfortable as possible, setting him up in one of the best cabins, making sure he had everything he needed. I’d practically begged him to get some sleep, to let go of his stubborn pride for even a second. But his scowl told me everything. He’d rather be anywhere else. He looked at the room like it was cursed, muttering under his breath about “evil forces” and “witchcraft.”Honestly, I wanted to tell him to fuck off but I bit my tongue."I don’t want them putting any dark stuff into him,” he muttered, his tone dripping with distrust. The sting of his words hit hard, and I swear he noticed becau

Athena With nothing else left to try, I swallowed my pride and dragged myself to the coven I had sworn never to approach. If the goddess insisted on punishing me, then I’d find a solution from any source willing to help.Fuck her a million times.I burst through the doors at midnight, and my heart pounded, causing my breaths to be short and sharp. The coven members sat in a circle. Their faces were carved from shadows and candlelight. Each gaze turned on me, dripping with irritation and barely concealed spite.The High Priestess, who was the queen's assistant, locked her eyes on mine.. "Athena, Athena, Athena," she chanted, my name rolling off her tongue like a slow, deliberate insult. "Is this truly a habit of yours—to burst in and throw our rituals into chaos?"My entire body shook and my throat closed up. "Priestess, I need your help. I know I’ve ignored your calls and kept my distance, but my mate is dying. Every second he slips further away.” I felt the words catch in my throat

AthenaSeeing Cameron lying unconscious in that hospital bed felt like someone had yanked the ground from beneath me, ripping my world apart piece by piece. I burst through those cold double doors, screaming his name, "Cameron!"My voice echoed, raw and desperate, down the sterile, quiet hallways. Two stout nurses hurried over, both with annoyed expressions, trying to hold me back. “Ma’am, you need to calm down; this is an emergency ward,” one snapped. I didn’t care. I shrugged them off and rushed to Cameron’s motionless figure.“Please, Cameron, open your eyes.”My voice cracked, and tears spilled down my face, unstoppable, like a dam breaking. Just this morning, he was laughing, alive, and so full of life. Now, he lay there like a stranger—pale, weak, swallowed by a mess of wires and tubes.My legs buckled beneath me as the reality of the scene hit. Doctors and nurses worked tirelessly around him, their movements a blur as they fought to keep him here, keep him with me.“Ma’am, pl
