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

No the deal he made was to ensure Lola replaced him. Asher was cursed more recently
Ummm I don’t think Zeke is gay
I actually agree with you but you could of said it in a better way
Oh for the love of God, can they not catch a break!?!? Poor Asher and Lola, I hope they can break it and nothing happens to them.
I was leaning toward the same thing. The Vampire King made one more deal before he died but I've never seen the results of it yet.
Ok then…. wow!!!
The shadows are black magic. So can they be trusted?
would you please wrap this shit up, I'm sick of waiting on updates
why is it. every time u start getting into A book on here. they cut u off and then it take s for ever before they give ya any more.
We have been told that one of the witches close to them is a traitor, we just don’t know who yet. I really hope it’s not Holly both of the sisters need a HEA they’ve been through too much. I still don’t trust Cassidy fully, and am not sure what her true intentions are.
hmmm, will it really end with total destruction or will Lola be able to counter this all?
turns on her and makes her go insane like it did her ancestor. in that case, it would probably make it easier for the blood witch to steal her magic
I think the "he" the author was referring to was Asher...or his wolf to be more precise. his curse is to probably try to kill Lola but because of the bond, it's probably harder to do for his wolf, even when cursed. either that, or to try and get Lola to grab magic from the dark side so everyone
on a different thought. Sean and Zeke were joking around. Is Zeke going to be Sean's second chance mate?
I'm truly wondering if it's Rowena... She's been acting strange and has been secretive.
me too and i want to hear about their kids after they went through so many trouble and trials.
Damnit. They just can't catch a break! I just pray that through all of this insanity and war that Lola, Asher and their family and friends all make it out alive and well. I've always got odd vibes from Cassidy but I feel like it's to just throw us off the real traitor. I have no idea anymore! ...
Plus, his mate was in that coma so long that there’s no way she could’ve had Holly and orchestrated this unless Holly was conceived while she was in the coma or the curse coma wasn’t real to begin with. Also, they said there was a spy there before she came back and she’s not privy to a lot either
I was thinking the same thing. Scared to be right because this is her dad’s 2nd chance with his mate and i think it would break him if it’s her. BUT, she was cursed by the witch that tried to kill Lola & was working for the blood witch doing that so she can’t be working for someone she cursed too
She did ask. Rather, asked who put the curse on him, which I’m going to assume is the traitor
Definitely the Vampire King cursed him before he died.
Oh dang, that sounds baaaaaad.
Ahhh dang. That’s not sounding great.
Where did they say the traitor was a 'him'? I think they were referring to Asher when the shadows said 'you can't stop him'.
Sorry... That comment wasn't really meant to go under yours lol
She can't stop Asher.
She should be able to stop him/the curse, she can bend reality no?
She can’t stop him?? Him who I thought it was Cassidy wtf ...
Idk my first thought was Zeke, he’s been pretty central to all of them and the main events that have occurred, he’s always in the loop. Meaning he has access to all the info basically as Lola and Asher receive it. I’ll admit Cassidy and Rowena have off and distrustful vibes but not sure it’s simple
is everyone forgot that the other witch trainer has a chest she refuses to allow people into, was extremely nervous when lola opened it And that she keep down playing lolas magical abilities? I just find it odd and cassidy is a too obvious suspect! But she was with lars that night at the camper!
