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

Now I need to know who it is. This chapter was so sad, but so good!
It’s definitely Cassidy and maybe Rowena. And Cassidy has the engagement ring.
I’m thinking Rowena and Cassidy. I remember the witches not being thrilled about being housed together. Wasn’t Rowena either a pre school teacher or described as one. How deceiving. For some reason I thought or assumed the betrayer was male. Cassidy tried awfully hard to dismiss Brandon’s absence 2
This isn’t the first time she drank his blood so that can’t be it. But I’m also confused how they went from happy engagement to this night mare. definitely some gray areas or missing parts.
noooooo who was it. my mouth open waiting.
I can't wait for an update I'm also going to assume Cassidy there had to be reasons why the trainer don't like her and warned her
I think she would only know the identity of one witch so we might have to wait longer to know who was the other one
I can not believe you just left us like that!!
It’s definitely Cassidy. The vampires warned her in the warehouse to stay away from the bubbly one. The trainer warned her. And Cassidy made her access a darker side with that date to take someone’s will. I bet that was her in. She was planted there as a child I bet another which could see the futur
It’s Cassidy. Remember the warning the vampires told her in the warehouse? “Stay easy from the bubbly one” and the warning the trainer told her “she’s nice until she isn’t” and how she had that slumber party and dared her to use her power to break someone’s will? I bet that was her “in”
I think when she had Asher’s blood it affected her in the same way Asher got affected. Curse or something. And turned her into this monster killing everyone, in her case she killed the animals. In one of the previous chapters she was talking about how his blood tested weird.
Good read but I’m getting impatient and ready for it to end.
no remember Cordelia said it would feel like she was the one dying but it wasn't actually her living this event. she was only a passenger in Cordelia's body to gain the insight Cordelia learned upon her death
definitely has to be Rowena. OMG I can't wait to find out for sure tho
I’m sooooo confused. So what happen to Lola and hot did she just magically end up passing out then end up in a forest? There’s this big grey area
Oh man…. Cliffhanger. I need an update.
omg how can you do this to us the cliff hanger ahhhhhh
What i don't understand is if she just died how did she create the sigil on the tree for lola? If she wasn't completely dead I'd understand that she managed to create it as she was bleeding out but that just said "death whisked her away"?
Don’t forget about Clara or whatever her name is…..
No the protection spell did work. Remember Asher asked her what did you do? He wasn't mad. It said it protected him.
It’s definitely Rowena and Cassidy!!
I really don’t think it’s Holly because she’s not gonna help Lola as much as she does just to go against her let alone go against the person who accepts her for who she is and has done nothing but help her. Holly strikes me as loyal
Wow! That’s just cruel! I’m hanging on the edge. Please put me out of my misery soon.
who's clarissa??
Did they though or did holly decieve snd it was what cursed asher?
That impatient hiss from the second "witch" sure makes me feel like it's dear ole Cassidy just waiting to get her disgusting hands on Asher. No wonder the lady that trains them doesn't like her smh. Rowena has caused so much madness & told Lola to pretty much go against her mate in a previous chp.
Rowena & Cassidy. Can't be Holly, she was with Lola that night putting that protection spell on Asher when Clara saw what seems like this witch in a cloak when Asher fought Alpha Bran. So ready to see how this plays out & waiting for Asher to rip her throat out considering she's been "evading" him.
I've been having doubts the whole time about Rowena, Cassidy and Holly.Two out of the three are those two witches.
Cassidy or Holly
I agree with you! but I also think it's Clarissa too
