Chapter 1 - Welcome to Witloch

I step into the dining hall, my fingers fiddling with the red bow at the end of one of my braids. My toes turn in slightly as I take my first mousy steps toward the breakfast buffet, keeping my eyes on the floor as I go. I pick up a tray and fill it with a very scant amount of food, even as my stomach growls and my wolf grumbles, urging me to take more.But this is my first day at Witloch, meaning I’m far too anxious to eat.I turn with my tray in my hands, biting my lip as I look around for the right table, finally letting myself scan the room. The breakfast hall is about halfway full, but that doesn’t mean anything. Everyone is here.The rich don’t crowd, after all.My eyes skip over everyone, only lingering for a moment on the one gorgeous Alpha at the back, laughing with his two friends, the morning sun glinting off the blonde highlights in his chestnut hair.Wow, my wolf says, her toes tapping. Wow, he’s just as handsome as he is in the magazines -But I just clench my teeth and

Chapter 2 - Surprise Visit

*Ten Hours Earlier*The rain pours down over me as I finally stare up at the ivied walls of Witloch Seminary. Thunder rumbles through the air and my teeth chatter, rain dripping down my back from the end of my ragged ponytail, my breath heaving in my lungs after sneaking through the woods for days, evading the many guards and detection systems set up to defend the students of this school.Protect them from people just like me.But I’m here now, aren’t I?A smile spreads slowly across my lips as my eyes sweep over the cheerfully lit upper floors of the school. My gaze drops to the barred windows of the basement, knowing that what I really seek is going to be hidden away somewhere down there.I take a deep breath, setting my shoulders and darting close to the wall, my feet squishing in my soaked boots. I crouch low, moving from window to window at the basement level, peering down into the rooms of the staff members who work here – most of them at rest at this late hour, watching TV, or

Chapter 3 - Betty

SabrinaI come out of Cosy’s cramped little bathroom about forty minutes later, munching on my third chocolate croissant, my cousin’s fuzzy bathrobe wrapped warm around me. “These are delicious, Cos –““Oh, cut it, Sabrina,” Cosette mutters, scowling, lounging on her bed and flicking through some gossip site on her tablet. The tablet I sent her for Midwinter. But no need to rub that in now.“I mean it,” I say, taking another bit and then holding the flaky end of it out towards her. “You got really good – so crispy, yet so soft. This stupid school lucked out when it hired you as its pastry chef.”She ignores my very nice compliments, lifting her eyes to mine, her face stony. I smirk. Clearly, she’s used the last forty minutes to get super pissed off, all signs of my frantic sweetheart cousin tucked away. “What are you planning?”“Just some light espionage,” I say, plopping myself down on the edge of her bed. “A little mischief, only a smidge of murder –““No. Murder.” She sits straight

Chapter 4 - Headmistress

SabrinaMy wolf yips, trotting back and forth in my soul, encouraged by how well this is going. I like being Betty, she says, her tongue lolling, her head low as she keeps her eyes on our quarry. Betty is tricky Betty is fun. But I just give her a mental swat her rump and bid her to be quiet. I have to concentrate.“It’s so nice to meet you too, Max,” I say, smiling shyly at him.I jump a little – fake of course – when a new tray of food settles in front of me.“Enjoy!”My head whips up at the sound of that voice, my surprise genuine this time when my eyes meet my cousin’s blue gaze.Cosette gives me her most peaceful smile, folding her hands neatly in front of her flour-spotted apron. “Anything else I can do for you, Celestial?”I do my very best not to clench my jaw as my cousin’s eyes crinkle at the corner, just a little wicked.“No,” I say, breathy, shaking my head so hard my braids jump. “Thank you so much for bringing this – and I’m so sorry about the first tray.”“Oh, please d

Chapter 5 - Familiar

I sigh with happiness, looking around at the elegant suite as I step inside. Bright and sunny with dual doors that open onto a pretty rounded balcony. A huge fluffy bed and an elaborate ensuite bathroom beyond.Yes. Yes, this will do just fine.“Thank you so much,” I say, turning to the Headmistress at the door, my eyes wide and my voice all stupid and breathy. “It’s so much prettier than I could have imagined –“She nods sharply, looking around. “Well, it should be, for our second-finest suite. You know, we gave it to another student when you didn’t appear as scheduled and it was quite a bother, asking them to move out again on sudden notice –““Oh, I’m so sorry,” I say, tucking my little fists beneath my chin and giving her big puppy-dog eyes. Who the hell does this woman think she is, trying to make a Celestial of Elizabeth’s status feel guilty about anything? But, I know how to play this. “If the other student really needs it then I can surely take another suite – I won’t even ask

Chapter 6 - Promises

“Seriously, Rhett,” Max says, laughing awkwardly and looking between us – Rhett’s fury, my shocked horror. “It’s…fine…”Something about Max’s awkward realization snaps me back to the present. My wolf snarls and I emit a terrified shriek, shrinking away from Rhett and holding my book up between us like a shield.I press my eyes shut, clarity flooding me now that I can’t see him anymore.Cool cool, I murmur to myself inwardly. Be cool. You’re Betty. Betty has – has never seen this man before –And even though I know that I haven’t either, slipping into Betty’s vacant demeanor brings me calm.“Betty!” Max says, stepping forward and wrapping an arm around me, cradling me to his chest. “Honestly, it’s fine! Back off, Rhett, you’re scaring her!”Rhett grumbles but I hear him move a step or two away.Hesitant, I look up into Max’s handsome face. He smiles so softly at me, gentle and protective. “Are you all right, Bett?”I straighten slightly, thinking that…well, maybe this Rhett guy did me

Chapter 7 - Take Him Out

“The Women Who Destroyed the Rothian Empire,” Max murmurs, eyebrows raised as he reads the title of the book aloud. “Damn, Betty, that’s one hell of a start to your reading list. So, historical studies?”“Yes,” I say, nodding eagerly, leaning closer as Max starts to page through the book. “I’m researching Philomena d’Caia in particular.”He turns to me, eyebrow raised. “The whore who assassinated the Imperator and was burned at the stake for witchcraft?”I purse my lips together, perhaps a bit more Sabrina than Betty in this moment. “Well, my research will suggest that she’s a little more complicated than that.”He smirks, handing my book back to me. “Sounds fascinating.”I smile at him, all squinty-eyed and delighted, hugging the book excitedly to my chest. “I mean, I think so! I know not everyone will be as interested as me but…you know.” I shrug. “I just love to get lost in a good book.”Max studies me, engaged but a little crestfallen. I force a giggle from my lips, knowing that t

Chapter 8 - Shared Meal

“Brina!” Cosette growls, striding forward, her hand raised to smack. I laugh and doge out of her way just as she brings her arm furiously down.“Watch the bread!”“What the hell are you doing in here!?”“What, you don’t like my new room!?” I dodge another blow and then shout her name, getting sick of all this violence that’s not going to get us anywhere. Besides, I’m hungry.Cosette gives up, as I knew she would. Her shoulders slump and she groans as I perch the basket of bread rolls on my hip and move to the cart, peeking under the dish covers and starting to smell all the delicious things the kitchens prepared –Damn, but the food’s good here –“Sabrina.”I pause, a dish cover in my hand, looking at my cousin.She just sighs, all dejected, shaking her head at me.“Oh come on, Cosette,” I say, likewise giving in with a sigh. “It’s not a big deal.”She huffs, clearly believing that it’s the opposite. “You’re impersonating a Celestial -““Very well, might I add.” I wrinkle my nose at h

Chapter 9 - The Good Stuff

SabrinaI inhale sharply and look away from my cousin’s pitying face, forgiving her. Cosette doesn’t know what she’s talking about – she’s not part of the family. She can’t understand.But my destiny as the heir to this family, the true Boss, is something that I know in my bones. There’s absolutely nothing my cousin can say to convince me otherwise.“Come on, Cosy,” I whisper, turning back to her. “Let’s not fight.”“I can’t just…watch you destroy your life for nothing.”“You’re not,” I say, grinning. “You’re watching me build it.”Slowly Cosette raises her eyes to me, her face doubtful.“Let’s talk about other things!” I sit up primly, a smile coming to my mouth as I force us to move on. I wrinkle my nose as my smile curls at the edges. “So. Tell me about your love life.”She groans and rolls her eyes. “You seriously have a two-track mind, Sabrina. Crime and boys.”“Ya,” I say, nodding eagerly. “So, seriously, are you and the big boy –““Sabrina!” she groans, snatching up a piece of

Chapter 10 - Professor

SabrinaI exhale a long breath as I walk out of the breakfast hall with my few books pressed to my chest, my fingertips rubbing against the ache in my cheek. God, so much time spent smiling – laughing at all those patently unclever jokes, smiling around at all the boys, making sure that at every turn they felt funny and smart and validated.Damn it, I don’t do it often but being a nice girl is…fucking exhausting.I go over the morning meal in my mind as I wander down the seminary’s main hall, passively keeping my eyes on the numbered doors that flash by on my left, all lit by the bright sunlight of the wall of windows on my right. It went well, I think. I’d spotted Cosette in the kitchen staging area, looking very dedicated as Queen of the Pastries, or whatever her job title is. Then, as I’d hoped, Max invited me to eat breakfast with him and his Betas, saying he wanted to get to know me.Of course, he didn’t spend the time getting to know me. He just chatted with his Betas, letting m
