Wolf Crying Mate of the Alpha by Jazz Ford

‘Thy coven sprouts like a seed. Mother Earth, we beseech thee to acknowledge our two new sisters, like branches budding and flowers blossoming add them to our tree. Thy new sisters of Midnight Coven, we welcome thee.’ We listen to Yiselda say the words to initiate May and Nina into the coven. The earth trembles…

‘All those years you say you ignored me; you never did. Every day we had breakfast and dinner together, you would stare at me with a longing in your eyes. When you climbed trees and swam through the lake with the others, you would always look to see if I had followed. The times you…

‘Thanks.’ Once my stomach is back in one place, I collect sticks and bundle them together. ‘Inferno Flamo.’ Nina says, igniting the bundle of sticks into a fire. ‘Are you ever going to warn me before you cast a spell?’ ‘Umm, probably not.’ She smirks. We sit by the fire and keep warm. I lay…

They take his hands and pull him towards the houses as more she-wolves come out. Even though I am being dragged away, I turn my head to watch Nina walk away towards the Packhouse. She doesn’t want to come with me to meet the she-wolves. I don’t understand why. You would think she would be…

‘I have the proof that Nina is not what she seems. She has no wolf because she is a witch and cursed you, future Alpha.’ he shouts and points a remote up, pressing a button. The projection screen shows a video of Nina and me and the lake earlier today. Nina is casting spells. There…

We all get back to the car and continue the drive. ‘One more night at a motel and we should arrive at Shadow crest mid-morning tomorrow.’ Leon says. The girls are thrilled and excited. I look forward to seeing Flint, Josie, and my parents. I wonder how Zak and Pipsqueak are going? He is so…

Mum, Dad, Seth, Mia, Josie, and Flint burst into laughter. Except for Amelia, whose face becomes suddenly pale. ‘Good one, Leon, so continue. Tell us what really happened.’ My father says. Leon and I give each other a nervous look. Nina won’t even look up from the table and fiddles nervously with her fingers. ‘Well,…

I hand her the book, but I don’t let go. ‘Promise me you won’t get caught casting magic?’ ‘I’ll try my best to not get caught.’ ‘That’s not really a promise, Nina…’ ‘I suggest you study as much as you can tonight from the book because I’m only letting you borrow it for tonight.’ ‘One…
