“They’ll want something in return, right?” She huffed, continuing without waiting for an answer. Her voice cracked, desperation bleeding through. “Don’t use them to kill them, just to get us away—a distraction or something that’ll help us get a he

Reunion
Reunion Lola’s P.O.V. 10 Years Later… “Ramona, so help me! If you don’t stop stealing your cousin’s toys I’m going to sick Aunty Ember on you, and you know she won’t hold back.” I shouted from the kitchen, craning my head to look over my shoulder where I locked eyes with my dashing mate. Asher was leaned against the wall, his arms downright bite-able in the fitted t-shirt he wore. He brought the beer in his hand to his mouth, lips twisted in a knowing smirk that had me contemplating a fourth child. If this man doesn’t calm down, we’re going to have to hire a second nanny. He returned his attention to Zeke and Brandon as though our little heated exchange hadn’t occurred. On cue, Ramona let out a shrill scream that quickly morphed into pulses of erratic laughter. A familiar pang of longing hit my chest as it did every time I heard my daughter’s laugh. She sounds just like Mom. Ember’s monstrous roar emerged from the living room, followed by a cacophony of giggles from the other c
Ember & Brandon
Ember and BrandonSeven Years Later – Ember’s P.O.V.“Darcy Mathews, if I see so much as a single snowflake in the bathroom’s you’ll find yourself in detention for a week.”This was the fourth time this month that the pipes had nearly burst from being frozen solid. Damn water elementals.The squirrely brunette with her spattering of cinnamon freckles jumped a foot off the ground at the sound of my voice, unwittingly letting out a pulse of elemental magic that spiraled down the corridor in a gust of chilly wind. It slammed several lockers shut, startling a handful of students.“Sorry Headmistress.” She hung her head sheepishly.There was once a time where Tessa and I couldn’t control our magic. It was easier for my twin. No one looked twice when you sprouted flowers in your wake or animated the topiary bushes trimmed into animals. Starting fires, however, that drew attention.“It’s alright…” I sighed, taking it easy just this once. I already had a reputation of being a hard ass, but on
Tessa & Zeke
Tessa and ZekeSix Years Later – Tessa’s P.O.V.“What do you say we wrap up early and head out to the cabin—just the two of us?”A voice I spent the last six years memorizing called out from across the room. I lifted my head from the mountain of paperwork I was sorting through, a smile already tugging at my lips as I spotted the playful light shimmering in Zeke’s eyes.My mate and fiancé—a term I couldn’t seem to stop using—was peering at me from across our shared office, a shameless grin tugging at his velvet soft lips. I drummed my fingers across the top of the desk, tapping out a pattern that filled the silence between us.A jolt of electricity crackled along my skin, delving past my flesh to settle in my stomach. Once upon a time, I couldn’t bare more than a few seconds staring into those eyes of his. Now I couldn’t seem to get enough.We’d come so far from where we’d once been. Not as far as Ember and Brandon, who had a sea of troubles even six years later, but those two were ano
Breyona & Giovanni
Breyona & GiovanniFive Years Later – Breyona’s P.O.V.I appeared in a plume of inky shadow, emerging from the darkness like I’d been there all along. If there were any humans nearby—which my hearing told me there wasn’t—they’d see nothing more than a lingering shadow dancing along the brick walls of the abandoned store front I lurked outside of.This wasn’t my ideal hangout spot, but for whatever reason, this was where Freya had chosen to hide a bunch of magical texts and artifacts. I absolutely adored my job of traveling the country via shadows, collecting information that was thought to be lost among the witches.It was similar to what my parents had done, a realization that never failed to bring tears to my eyes.Even after all these years, I missed them so much.I slinked along the back wall, past the rusted dumpsters that hadn’t been used in Goddess knows how long, to the backdoor Ember’s source promised would be unlocked. Sure enough, when I tugged the handle, it swung open wit
Clara & Mason
Clara & MasonFour Years Later – Clara’s P.O.V.“Don’t you dare, little witch.” Mason warned in a low voice.A shiver worked it’s way down my spine when he placed his hand against my back. Even through the thin fabric of the dress I wore, I could feel the heat he exuded. One of the first things I’d learned about Werewolves was that they ran hot. Despite how hard I tried, a smile worked it’s way onto my face. My chest quite literally ached with the urge to cackle, but I couldn’t help it. It’s not my fault Tristan’s expression was absolutely to die for. Even Lola was having a hard time containing herself, snickering behind her hand as she watched the scene unfold.Tristan had been locked in place for the last minute in a half, staring at Holly like she had grown three extra heads. No one could blame the poor guy considering he was the only one who didn’t know his mate was pregnant.“You’re pregnant.” He repeated for the thirteenth time.A laugh exploded from my mouth seconds before Ma
Holly & Tristan
Holly and TristanThree Years Later – Holly’s P.O.V.The breeze was blissfully cold against my skin, the sunlight a slight tingle that rippled over my exposed arms and shoulders.Winter was approaching, tainting the air with its crisp scent. No matter how much I ventured outdoors and basked in the sunlight, I wasn’t sure I’d ever get enough. Even though I burned easily—thank you, Vampire genetics—it was a wonderful taste of freedom that I’d never take for granted.The shrill screams of children playing pierced my ears. I didn’t find it irksome the way some of the parents here did. Despite how loud they were, their wails were full of joy and innocence that could never be replicated or replaced.I looked up from the stack of papers in my hands, focusing on the children racing across the mulch just ten feet away. The tiny font had been giving me a headache for the past two hours now.“Honey, you need to stop and tie your shoe! You’re going to trip and fall.” The woman on the bench beside

Isn’t she wearing a necklace? Bet it’s a tracker. Don’t trust either one
Took a reread to catch that the witches scents are related to their elements
Oh no!!! Now I'm thinking Rowena and Cordelia are not good guys SMH her magical block and everything is starting to make sense.. so sad!!
How often do you post new chapters?? The suspense is killing me!!! ...
nope, she's still updating
This can not be the end
More chapters please!! This is so good, it could be a movie :)
I agree. Both of them are sent witches and I'm betting that her mom sent them. Wasn't Lola's dad, the vampire king her mother's mate too? Or did he just seduce her?
Hadn't thought of that, well shit. Now it's anyone's guess who is behind it, but I still don't trust rowena, I think she's a sent witch
Yes, I forgot about that. If rowena was as good as what she claims, then Lola wouldn't feel the gut need to refrain from saying the name out loud.
Wonderful chapters, as always leaving me wanting more! I wonder if they're speaking about rowena and the other one?
Thanks Sandy lol
Dear Author, welcome back! These chapters are reminiscent of your early Asher /Lola writings. Thanks for coming back to this story for us. Hope all is well with you.
I like the way you think.
Cassidy's been there from Asher's childhood. While I don't fully trust her, I don't think she's a sent witch.
the author uploads them as she writes them.
when will the chapter open up
I really like the book it’s interesting it holds my attention which says a lot, I’m not easy to keep ahold of for long but, this dropping of chapters intermittently or daily/weekly etc is really not working for me. Not at all Probably won’t read here again.
I bet the two witches on pack lands are the ones! Especially the necklace Cordelia gave her is the tracker. Not cool!
WOW this is good!!!
how long till the next chapter is released is this a chapter a week?
I think the necklace Cordelia gave her is the tracker.
The author is writing them weekly, she doesn’t have them ready to be posted
Please release all the chapters
I think the 2 she's referring to are Cordelia and Rowena? crazy
right. uggh, 4 chapters a week just aren't enough. when we do get 4
right. I asked the same thing
Why am I feeling like she is talking about Rowena since Lola had an urge to hide that information about her powers to her and Cassidy which has the best disguise ever?
are the witches in on this ? but the elementals said she lost her connection with lola .... what if lolas mum is the all mighty powerful witch that the vampire king was drawn too and her mum isn't dead ? but the man in the black boots ??, so many questions... gosh I love this book
I think for sure it's cordelia and rowena. But this is only chapter 131, where is 132 ?
