The portal was closed, but I didn’t know for how long. Part of me wanted the monster to just come right on through now so that I could deal with him and have it over with. But I knew I wasn’t anywhere near full strength at the moment, so I wouldn’t be able to defeat him that easily, and there was no one else around with the power to help stop him. Except for Francis and the hell if I was ever going to ask her to help me with anything ever again.
“Melanie, how are you?” Joshua was asking as he sat on the ground with her, his arms around her.
“I’m okay,” she said. “Just scared. And my leg is sore.” She was shaking, her hair messy, and sweat at her hairline. She was also covered in some sort of a light dusting of green powder. The green was the same pukish color as the wood nymph.

Mage of Wolves Worried
Keeping my eyes open at school the next day was almost as impossible as it had been to keep them open while Sam was taking me home. I was guzzling coffee by the gallon, and going to the bathroom every half an hour or so, which was annoying. At least none of my teachers refused to let me go.During Ms. Piper’s drama class, Brice and I struggled to work on our reenactment of the dragon fight and the rescuing of our friends from the evil mages. Brice wasn’t tired like me. Wolf shifters could survive on just a couple of hours a night. I was envious of him for that at the moment. But he was distracted. I’m pretty sure Brice should’ve been diagnosed with ADHD a long time ago. Maybe he wouldn’t still be in school a year after he should’ve graduated if he’d gotten some help focusing when he was younger. He’s super smart, but when he’s in a mood like this,
Mage of Wolves Full Threats
When people are angry, we say that they “march.” As in, “I was so angry, I marched right over to Francis Flamingo’s house and gave her what for!” Whatever that means. Well, I didn’t march over to her house, but I did change myself into a falcon and fly over there as fast as I could. This woman kept tampering with my life, and if she didn’t knock it off, I was going to make some permanent changes to hers. I wasn’t sure why she was even still here. Her daughter was gone. She didn’t need me anymore. Why didn’t she just move along? I transformed back into a human and pounded on the door. When she opened it, she didn’t look surprised at all to see that it was me. “Harlow. Delighted to see you as always. What brings me the pleasure?” She stood there with her arms folded, leaning against the door jamb like m
Mage of Wolves Remembering the Realm
I was fuming after my conversation with Francis. I flew back home, but I tried to take my time and calm down before I had to face my pack. They didn’t deserve to face my wrath, but they also didn’t need to know just how angry I was. I’ve had teachers who have bad things happen at home and bring that to class with them, and it’s never pleasant. I didn’t want to be like that.After I was pretty sure I was calm enough to pretend to be completely calm, I headed home and walked into the house with a smile on my face.A fake smile, but a smile nonetheless.I headed straight downstairs to talk to Melanie. I needed to know more about this realm. It certainly looked like the one I had seen in that dream right before I was awoken to find out that Melanie had been sucked into a portal, so I wanted
Mage of Wolves Getting Ready for Prom
I was a high school student by day and a wood nymph guardian at night. While I wasn’t actively hunting this bastard, I was guarding against him. Looking for him at every turn. For the next few weeks, my wolves and I spent hours at night checking to see if there was any indication that Harold had left the forest that Francis was in the process of claiming and spreading out either in the town or into our forest.I had a feeling I was going to need to do more to combat this monster than what I was doing, though. I mean, Francis had essentially told me to stay out of “her” woods, but it didn’t belong to her. It wasn’t her ancestral lands or anything. If that forest could give her energy and powers the way that mine could me, I didn’t think it was a good idea for her to be so powerful, but then, there wasn't a lot I could do to stop her and also focus on school.
Mage of Wolves Who's That?
The mood was light as we made our way to the prom. Everyone was laughing and joking around. My heart was a little heavy as I thought about Ben, but Sam’s good at making me laugh, so I was distracted.We were almost to the high school when something else occurred to me. “The last time we all went to a dance, it didn’t end up being a very good night.” I meant all of us except for Sam, of course.“It was a great night until Sam entered the picture,” Brice said with a teasing tone.“Don’t worry. I only have eyes for you tonight, Harlow Nightingale,” he said with a flirty wink in that voice he uses when he’s trying to be so charming that it’s funny.I couldn’t help but smile, but the feeling I had in my s
Mage of Wolves How to Hate Someone
I had to figure out who this new blonde girl was. She was driving me crazy. Every time I turned around, there she was, smiling at me like a freaking Jack-o-lantern. As soon as I had a chance, I pulled Raven aside. “What is up with you, Harlow?” she asked me. “You’re so intense tonight!”“That girl that Ben’s been dancing with, the blonde. Who is she?” I was glaring at her as I spoke, and she had the audacity to smile right at me.“I have no idea,” Raven said. ‘Why do you care? It’s not like they’re dating.”“No, I don’t care that she’s with Ben. I mean, I do, but that’s not why I’m asking. She keeps giving me this creepy grin, and I think there’s something weird about her, that’s all.”
Mage of Wolves Just Dance
I let go of Sam and went off with Raven so that she could tell me what was going on with the creepy blonde girl. I hope that’s what she needed to talk to me about, anyway. If it was something else, I was probably going to regret asking. “What’s going on?” I asked her.“Okay, so that girl’s name is Hannah. She hardly speaks, and she said that she’s new. That’s like all she’d say. It’s so weird. I asked Ben about her, and he said that she’d come with Jimmy. So I asked Jimmy about her, and he said that she didn’t come with him. He thought she’d come with Ben. So I told Ben that, and he just sort of shrugged it off, but I think there’s something… creepy about her.”“Right?” I said. “That’s exactly what I said! Weird.” The last girl I met wh
Mage of Wolves Believe Me
“What the actual hell?” I asked, squinting across the room to look at this Hannah chick’s mouth. I looked around for one of my packmates to see if they were seeing what I was seeing, too, but there was no one nearby. “Damn it. Where are my friends when I need them?” They were all over by the table where we’d been sitting, chatting it up while I was staring at some sort of a fang-toothed interloper who couldn’t stop grinning at me.I turned back to look at Hannah, but whatever I saw before was gone. This just wasn’t right. I had to be able to trust my eyes, and my eyes told me she had some really sharp teeth a minute ago. So what happened to them?I found myself walking across the dance floor on my way to speak to her when suddenly Sam was in front of me. I almost ran into him but was glad I didn’t because I
