Sorcerer: Trouble with Werewolves: Power of Air Book 2 (12 page)

At first the ritual was disappointing.  I was standing
in a circle with the pack, holding hands with Sierra on my left and Selene on
my right followed by the alpha.  There was a fairly large sized fire pit
in the center, with a good fire going, and the moon was high in the sky. 
I say disappointing, because at first I couldn’t feel anything as Selene
chanted next to me and was I’d imagine, summoning earth magic.

But then her focus must have changed to fire, because I
could feel heat building up in me, and a wave of magic start to go around the
circle.  It went faster and faster, leaving a trail of heat behind that
connected us all together.  I could already feel them all with air magic
of course, but this was more than just feeling them, I felt like I was a part
of them, connected to them. 

It made me wonder a little wistfully how much stronger that
feeling would be if I could sense the earth magic at work.  I also
realized this feeling of being connected and included was probably just a small
echo of what they felt for each other with their pack bonds.  She
continued to chant, and I felt the fire burn hotter, but at the same time it
didn’t burn my body at all.  The fire started to go even faster around the
circle, so fast I lost track of it, and then it felt like it was in all of us
at the same time.

I could feel all of their emotions, and their welcome to the
pack as an Ally.  Abruptly, Selene stopped chanting and the fire burnt
hotter for a moment, almost searing, and then it faded away.  But only the
fire did, I could still feel them all in my chest.  I had to admit I was a
little awed, as they came to me one by one, some hugging, some just touching,
but I felt them all welcome me as an ally.

If this was simply some ally bond, I couldn’t imagine what a
pack bond would be like.  But then, it would have to be strong wouldn’t
it?  For the alpha to guide and control the pack.  Sierra went last,
and hugged me close and looked up at me with desire in her eyes.  My heart
sped up a bit when I realized this bond would increase our intimacy when we were… 
I broke that thought off when I heard a few light chuckles, apparently the bond
worked two ways.

I’d have to get used to that, apparently my love life would
not be a secret if I wanted to date a werewolf.  It wasn’t a choice
really, or really much of a sacrifice to have her in my life, so I leaned my
head down and gave her a soft lingering kiss.

She looked up at me with twinkling eyes and whispered, “Take
us home.”

I think I liked the sound of that.  I smiled, pulled
her a little closer, and drew the magic from the air around us, and had it take
us home.

Afterword:
 

I hope you enjoyed this story, if you did please leave a
review.  Reviews are the lifeblood of independent authors, and I would
appreciate greatly any constructive feedback or opinions.  This story is
complete as is, but is also part of a series of books about Ben Edwards. 
I tried not to leave any cliff hangers, or loose plots except for the
overarching plot of his family’s enemies, but obviously character development
and world building are a constant work in progress and will continue through
other books.

Witch’s Moon: A Celia Winters Novel Book 1

Celia Winters was raised by her single mother, and her
earliest memories are of the store her mother owns and the nearby coven, who
have always been her family’s close allies and friends.

She grew up believing her magic was weak, but she was
satisfied with her life, and happy.  She was a midwife, healer, and
supplier of surrounding covens. 

Then her mother died, and she’s about to discover she isn’t
who, or what, she believes herself to be, not completely.  She will learn
that her entire life up until now was a lie.  She’ll need to figure out
her place, who she is when she no longer recognizes herself, and try to hold on
to her closest friends as she gathers enemies for the simple crime of her
existence.

She’s stronger than she believes, but will it be enough?
