AthenaMy head pounded so hard that I felt dizzy, and fear was getting out of control. I felt too numb to move as I stood outside the principal’s office.This was all the Moon Goddess’s fault, and I was angry at her. Why couldn’t I just be normal like everyone else?Cameron wasn’t coming with me, which was a good thing because I didn’t know the outcome of this meeting. I took a few deep breaths and tried to calm my heart, but doubts swirled in my mind.This meeting was surely going to end on a bad note. I tried to put on a brave face, wondering what lie I was going to cook up, but the lie about not feeling my wolf was strong enough, and I was going to run with it.It was now or never.I pushed open the door to the principal’s office, and warm light spilled out. Cameron’s father was indeed the definition of royalty. He sat behind the desk, looking older—perhaps in his early 60s—much older than my parents.His hair was styled in a top knot with shaved sides, and a golden scepter rested

CameronI watched as Athena’s face went slack and soft. My hands caressed her chin.“What are you doing?” she asked with an unsteady voice.“You heard me the first time.”She released a sigh and looked away, then touched her neck. I noticed she liked to either fiddle with her hair or touch her neck whenever she was disturbed about something.She didn’t look angry, which was a good sign, so I became bolder.“I feel so breathless when I’m around you,” I said to her, my voice cracking with emotion. “We belong together, Athena. It’s written in the stars. The bond between us is enthralling and binding. We can’t keep denying this.”Her eyes grew glossy, and she parted her lips, holding me with her gaze. I felt a strong awareness of my heartbeat as I began stroking her arm. I was so full of pent-up desire that it caused an embarrassing bulge.“Cameron,” she whispered, her fingers tunneling into my hair. “We can’t.”“Yes, we can, and we will. I know it, but I don’t know what’s stopping you. I

Athena My heart sank with dread as I contemplated speaking with my dad. He had been calling me all morning, and I had been dodging his calls, using classes as an excuse. But I knew he was aware of our break period, and I couldn't avoid this conversation forever. With a grimace, I stood up from my seat in the crowded student lounge, grabbed my backpack, and sought out an empty classroom. I settled into room 214, a quiet space. Pacing back and forth between the rows of desks, I pressed the phone to my ear, listening intently to my dad's voice. He attempted to sound brave, but I imagined him sitting in his favorite leather armchair, gulping down his fear, his face pale and clammy with cold sweat. "Honey, I need you to remain calm," he said, his voice trembling with worry. "I know you never envisioned this happening, but it has, and I'm sure there will be a solution." "I don't know,

Athena Jennifer was mad with hate, and it came off her in waves. Her eyes were cold and sharp, like a scalpel. Even though I knew I would never let her physically harm me, I couldn't help the shivers that ran down my spine, slowly eating away at me. If I had no powers, I would have been reduced to a gibbering wreck. Cameron remained nonchalant, regarding her with an emotionless stare. His expression seemed to say, "I couldn't care less about her." Jennifer stormed forward, and her shrill voice cut through the silence. I didn't want any trouble, knowing how aggressive she could be. "You little slut! How dare you think you can come to this school and steal my man from me? Who the hell are you?" She tried to jab her manicured finger at me, but I swatted it away from my face. "Can you stop this, Jennifer?" Cameron said, sounding very calm, almost lethargic. "Stay

Cameron  I slid into the seat beside Athena in class, feeling thrilled and satisfied, like a cat drunk on milk. Everything about her made me so happy, from her face to her scent, to her closeness, to the bond. It gave me a pleasurable satisfaction that I had never experienced before. A relaxed smile crossed my face, and my head tilted slightly to the side. I noticed that my enthusiasm was met with a cold response. She edged away and distanced herself from me. My heart sank like the Titanic, and I felt mocked so badly that my chest seized up. As I wondered when this would end, I chuckled to cover my annoyance, and I could tell that she sensed it. "You need to stop sitting near me. I don't want any trouble." "What is wrong with you?" I said back, keeping my voice level. "Why are you so against us? Nothing is stopping us from being together." Her gaze darte

Athena 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

Athena  I 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

Cameron Athena 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
