LucyJessie and anyone she told about me coming back with David’s jacket hadn’t stopped hounding me. I had never been so grateful to be living at Stacy’s. I still wasn’t sure what to do with the jacket, and if I considered keeping it long-term, I tried not to be too embarrassed about it. Today was another combat training class. The training room was alive with the sound of clashing staves and the rhythmic thud of footfalls on the polished floor. Duke and I had gotten better. He wasn’t struggling as much, and I could actually channel my magic into the staff. We worked slowly as we were both struggling with the task. “I guess growing roses really helped,” Duke said, grinning at me. “Maybe I should grow a bush or two.”I scowled at him. “Stick practicing your scales. You’ll need it for the high notes.”He laughed. The sparring session came to an end, leaving me drained. Duke and I exchanged a high-five, grinning like we had just conquered the world. Lucian called a halt to practice.

Lucy Someone gasped beside me. “No way.” Lucian hummed. “Impressive.”“What?”“Casting a restraint on a shifter to keep them from shifting is a very hard piece of magic,” Lucian said. “He’s… definitely been practicing.”Duke laughed. “When would he have the time? I swear he barely sleeps.”He huffed. “The more I think about it, the more irritated I am about it. No one nags him when he doesn’t sleep.”I watched as the rest of his opponents struggled to keep up, their defenses slowly chipping away under his relentless assault. As the battle raged on, I could almost see the way his magic changed. It changed colors as he used different attacks and strategies. He was focused, his concentration unwavering as he anticipated his opponents' moves and countered with his own. With a final, well-placed strike, David disarmed the last of his opponents, sending their staff flying through the barrier and clattering to the ground. The others groaned, still struggling to get up after being beaten d

LucyWe rode together back to the White Moon Pack house. As the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting a warm, golden glow over the Hecate City. Lucian, Duke and I climbed out of the car. David had been dozing off on the ride. “Still haven’t returned the jacket, hm?” Lucian asked as we headed inside. “Leave me alone!”Duke and Lucian laughed as we entered. The scents of the Pack House enveloped me. It had become almost a second home for me, a place of belonging and family. Duke walked beside me, his steps confident and easy. Lucian had said that he had an announcement to make, so everyone was there. As we entered the Pack House, the hum of conversations and laughter filled the air. It was heartwarming to see familiar faces. I spotted Jessie across the room, engaged in a lively conversation with a few others.We made our way over to Jessie, who turned towards us with a bright smile. "Lucy, Duke, you made it! You two look terrible. Magic training?"I nodded. “We got to watch a le

LucyThe sun was just beginning its ascent as I joined the group of supernaturals gathered at the edge of the woods. The air was crisp and carried the promise of a new day. We were here for a Habitat Restoration event organized by Helping Hands. I wasn’t sure what sort of habitat we were going to be working on, but I was kind of excited. Duke was beside me, his expression bright as he released Hunter into the sky. It circled overhead, cawing happily. "Don’t go too far,” Duke said, looking up at him. “And don’t pick up anything shiny.”I grinned at the magpie's antics, watching as it darted and swooped through the air. "He's quite the show-off, isn't he?"Duke chuckled. "He likes to be the center of attention."The leaders of the event started to divide us up for the minor work. As we began our work, I focused on the task at hand. I could feel the energy of the earth beneath my fingers as I planted saplings and pulled the tangled brush apart. Throughout the morning, we worked togeth

DavidNext time, I would just take Lucy to a fairy grove, just the two of us. To be fair, it wasn’t Amelia’s fault she had terrible timing. And it wasn’t the organizer’s fault for sending her with me, but none of that made it any better. When I got back, the mood had gone, and I hadn’t known what to say to Lucy about Amelia. Lucy looked uncomfortable, so I hadn’t brought it up yet. It definitely ruined the rest of the trip. I couldn’t decide if I should be upset about it or relieved that I didn’t cross a line that neither of us was ready to cross yet. That evening, after I’d returned to the Blood Moon Estate, I descended the hidden staircase to the secret room. I solved the puzzle and entered the room, noting that the air inside was colder than before. The crystal necklace glinted in the darkness, emanating an otherworldly glow that seemed to beckon me forward and push me away. I set my magical analysis kit underneath the single torch, grabbed the necklace, and sat down. The kit was

LucyA few days after the fairy trip, I found myself in a weird mood. I wanted to talk to David, to ask him about Amelia, but I didn’t know what to say, and I didn’t want to ask something ridiculous. I sighed and headed toward the Hecate Coven’s headquarters to meet with Lucian. I entered the main corridor from the campus and was struck still at the sight of a group of ethereal figures approaching me from down the corridor. They were unlike any beings I had encountered before – tall, graceful, with an otherworldly aura that set them apart from humans or supernaturals. What were they? They glided by and then I caught sight of a necklace around a woman’s throat that I recognized from one of my textbooks. They were elves, I realized, my heart quickening with a mixture of curiosity and excitement.The elves moved with a fluid elegance, their steps seemingly in harmony with the air around them. As they drew closer, their keen eyes met mine, and a sense of acknowledgment passed between us

PeterIt had been almost too long since I had set the date with Michelle. And now, I was driving to the Blood Moon Estate, oddly excited and full of anxiety. I had no thoughts about getting any intel about what David was up to or anything else. My whole mind was focused on the night ahead of me with Michelle. I had never been one to get anxious about dates, but tonight felt different. Michelle was more than just a random human I chose to spend my time with and get pleasure from, and this was no ordinary date.I approached the grand entrance of the Estate, and the imposing guards stationed there regarded me with a level of skepticism. I could sense their wariness, their doubt about my intentions. I simply flashed a polite smile, offering a nod of acknowledgment, and rolled down my window."Evening," I greeted them calmly, my tone friendly but measured. "I'm here to pick up Michelle for our date."One of the guards eyed me critically for a moment before stepping closer to the car, his

PeterI hushed her, holding back the desire to taste he lips again. Not now. Not yet."Thank you for a wonderful evening," I murmured against her lips. “I look forward to our next date.”“Me too,” she whispered, leaning into my arms. I barely suppressed a shudder as I took a deep breath of her scent and squeezed her close. “I’ll take you to sushi next.”She wrinkled her nose. “That’s… raw fish, right?”I chuckled. “So it is. Feel adventurous?”“Baby steps, please,” she said, her eyes sparkling. “Raw steak?”She paled, and I laughed, pulling back. “Get some rest, Michelle, before your sister comes out to maul me.”She shook her head. “Good night, Peter.”“Wait.” She turned back. My stomach churned. “I meant to ask you something.”She tilted her head. “Would you be my date for the Crescent Moon Festival?”Her eyes widened, but the look of pleasure on her face was unmistakable. “As long as you don’t feed me something weird.”I grinned. “Nothing but regular steak to be had there… I’l

TonyI walked into my office with a scowl etched deep on my face. The meetings with various business representatives had gone well enough, but the gnawing feeling of unease hadn't left me. It wasn't the business deals that troubled me; it was the underlying fact that I was doing a job that I had no rightful claim to. Our father was the alpha of Blue Moon. He should be in these fucking meetings. I should be refusing to go, but the guilt tugged me from bed and sent me out to make sure that the pack didn’t go destitute or veer toward destruction the way it had been when our father had been alpha was too strong to ignore.Besides, I had nothing else to hang on to now that Matt and I were so distant, Lucy was a distant goal, and there was no one I could rely on. I took a seat behind my desk, my fingers drumming restlessly on its surface. Not once had our father seemed interested in actually running the logistics of the pack. Cline wasn’t helpful, too busy scheming with him to do what, bu

TonyHis words cut through my frustration, a reminder that Matt was still on my side. We headed back outside and followed the scent deeper into the woods. The scent of blood hung heavy in the air.“Why wouldn’t he want to know if someone had been attacked?” I asked. “Because he attacked them.”My gut turned at that thought as I heard something rustling. “It’s just there,” Matt said, turning his gaze toward the soft rustling sound. “She’s… there.”“She?”Then, as if the forest itself was answering me, a soft moan of pain lifted into the air. A single, bloody hand reached out from under the foliage and clawed at the ground like she was dragging her body. Then, I saw her face. “Ginevra?”Her face was marred by blood and dirt. Her hands were bloodied. Her other hand was clutching a dagger that gleamed ominously in the fading light, slick with blood. My heart pounded in my chest. I was shocked. It was clear that she had been attacked, but what struck me most were the scents that clung
