Danger Calls

Mage of Wolves   Danger Calls

Another night in bed with me staring at the ceiling, listening to the wolves howling at one another, not daring to go to sleep.This time, it had nothing to do with my sister, though.

Mage of Wolves   Trouble

It had not been my intention to walk too far into the woods that day. Ever since my run-in with the wolves a few days before, I hadn’t gone anywhere past my favorite tree, except for to take the path to the Ford place. I wasn’t going there now, but I had managed to go so far that I couldn’t see my tree.It wasn’t on purpose. I was looking at the flo

Mage of Wolves   Alarm

I walked in the kitchen door a few minutes after leaving the Ford place to find Grandma eating a bowl of oatmeal. She set her spoon in her bowl and smiled at me. “Good morning, dear.

I knew my mom had talked to her after dinner, and I had to assume they’d gone to some lengths to attempt to secure the doors, but it was a lot harder to lock someone in then it was to lock someone out. They couldn’t put a lock on her bedroom door either, or else she wouldn’t be able to get to the bathroom. So… I lay awake, hoping she didn’t try to sneak out and wishin

Mage of Wolves   Warning

“Mom!” I shouted, running across the yard to catch up to my mother before she made it inside. She stopped and turned to look at me, a little surprised, either at hearing me shouting her name so frantically or seeing me come out of the woods. Maybe both. I didn’t mean to sound desperate, but I also didn’t want her to go inside before I spoke to her. I didn’t want Gray to know that I'd ratted her out if I could avoid it.
