Waking the Dead
“Oh, my god, Fionna! What did you do!” The words left my mouth as I lunged forward toward Sam, praying that whatever the other mage had done to him, it wasn’t permanent. She’d zapped Starla pretty good before, but it wasn’t something I couldn’t fix. This time, Fionna seemed even more agitated than she had the last time, so there was a possibility she’d tossed more in the wolf shifter’s direction, but the fact that Kayla, Liam, and I had attempted to intervene might have been enough to at least spare his life, I thought.
I knelt down next to Sam and felt for a pulse. He had one, but it was weak and inconsistent. I immediately started barking orders to everyone around me like a general on a battlefield. “Ben--run and get Mage Jaye, or someone with a lot of power. I’m about tapped.”
He nodded and sh

“What do you mean you don’t remember anything, Sam?” I asked, my heart thundering in my chest. “How can you not remember anything?”“I don’t know,” he admitted with a shrug, still looking as lost as he had when he first opened his eyes. “It’s like… my mind is completely blank.”“Have you ever seen anything like this before?” Raven asked Maggie.She shook her head. “No, I’ve never seen anyone hit with a jolt of magic lose their memory before.”“Magic?” Sam asked. “What are you talking about? I wasn’t hit with magic. Magic’s not real.”A gasp left my lips as I looked from Maggie to Raven. Th
Mage of Wolves Alone
I walked back into Sam and Starla’s house as quietly as I could, in case Sam was sleeping. Raven, Melanie, Joshua, and Tony were still sitting in the living room, talking quietly.“How is he?” I asked.“I took him some water a little while ago,” Raven said, “but he was sleeping, so I just set it by the bed.”“What are we going to do?” Melanie asked. She had a worried look on her face, which wasn’t unusual for Melanie because she worried about a lot of things, but in this case. I couldn’t blame her. I was worried about Sam, too.“Maggie suggested we let him get some sleep and see how he is in the morning. If he still can’t remember anything, she said she’d see what she could do
Mage of Wolves Not Okay
I had to go to bed. I had no choice. Even with Starla in the hospital, bleeding, Brice wearing Sam’s face around, Sam not remembering a damn thing about anything, and Fionna in my back yard, capable of burning the world down with a flick of her wrist, I was exhausted. Making Brice look like Sam was it for me. I couldn’t handle any more activity that night. As it was, I had to get up to go to school in something like four hours, and that meant I was going to be one cranky witch the next morning.Mage Jaye had said I had one more day at WHHS before I had to transfer to the school for mages I’d just build, but I wasn’t sure I was going to be able to do that as soon as she wanted, especially if I couldn’t find a way to drag my butt out of bed the next day.Ben laid down with me, but I knew he wouldn’t stay long. Not for the first
Mage of Wolves Too Much
I did what I was supposed to do. I went to school. It wasn’t easy. In fact, it was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done. I spent the entire day lost in my own thoughts and even screwed up my grades because I wasn’t paying attention while I was doing my work, including a quiz in math. Staying home would’ve been a better idea. At least I would’ve had the chance to make up my assignments when I was feeling better. The only problem with that was I had no way of knowing if I would ever feel better. It seemed like every time I turned around, there was another problem that needed taking care of, and I was the only one capable of fixing them.And as I was finding out, I couldn’t fix everything.The rest of my pack was just as out of sorts as I was. At least Brice was back at our table in art and sat with us a
Mage of Wolves Choose to Forget
“Hi, Sam,” I said stepping into his bedroom. He was smiling at me, but that vacant look in his eyes told me that he had no idea who I was, other than what he remembered from the night before. “How are you?”He shrugged and looked around the room before he said, “Lost.”It seemed like a stupid question, but I asked it anyway. “You still don’t remember anything?”“Nope. Not a damn thing. All of my memories begin with my waking up on the front porch of the house next door last night.”“That’s my house,” I told him.“That’s what I hear.”I smiled, wondering what else everyone ha
Mage of Wolves Columns
I didn’t know what to say to Sam. He didn’t want to try and remember everything that he’d forgotten because he had feelings for me? How could he know at such a deep level that he and I were meant to be together when he couldn’t even remember his name?I thought it had complicated things the day before when Starla had admitted that it had been magic that brought her and Sam together to begin with, but this was something else entirely. This was him saying that there was something about me that innately told him that we were meant to be together, even when he didn’t know who he was.“Sam,” I began, taking a deep breath and blowing it out slowly, trying to figure out how to respond, “there’s a lot more to this that you don’t remember at the moment.”&ldqu
Mage of Wolves Defiance
Mage Jaye was still waiting for me. At least she wasn’t standing outside when I walked out of Sam’s front door. I was informed that Brice was picking Starla up from the hospital, that he’d been released, with a strong sedative. For a few moments, I wondered if she’d notice if I borrowed some of those pills. It would be nice to black out for a bit, sort of like Sam was doing by refusing my help. But then, I could probably manufacture my own drugs. Which led me to think that if this whole mage school thing didn’t work out, perhaps I could make my own line of designer drugs and sell them on street corners….“Are you going to the school?” Ben asked me. He was in the yard, and even though he was fully dressed at the moment, I could tell he had just been out on a run. He smelled of the woods and a bit like perspiration, which I didn’t mind at all.
Mage of Wolves Starla's Home
I was dismissed from Mage Jaye’s office pretty quickly after I told her that Sam was my legal guardian, at least when it came to school. Surprisingly, she wasn’t rude about it, but she did send me home. I did tell her that any conversation she had with him about me I wanted to be present for. I didn’t come right out and tell her I didn’t trust her not to use her magic to manipulate his mind, but that was pretty much what I implied--because it was true. How did I know she wouldn’t use her powers to make Sam sign something he otherwise wouldn’t?I took my time walking home, enjoying the peace of the forest. I was glad I hadn’t seen any of the people I knew at the school. As much as I’d thought it might be fun to hang out with Kayla, Lluvia, and Sean, I just had too much on my mind to actually be entertaining at the moment. Still, as I walked throu
