Chapter 26

“You want me to stay?” Silas repeats and I tuck the quilted blanket around myself.

He’s shirtless, which I’ve seen before, but somehow it never gets old. It’s like his body was made out of bronze and carved with the female gaze in mind. His sweatpants are tight around his waist, and I try not to stare at what is definitely an impressive bulge.

I scoot over and he joins me in the bed, both of us feeling stiff and uncomfortable for a moment.

“Am I…”

“Half-wolf shifter, undoubtedly. There’s no magic that I have ever heard of like that. I don’t know if you can only shift with the necklace, but it clearly unlocked her. Do you hear her in your head?” Silas asks, his amber eyes looking at me with caution.

I breathe in and out and try to get in tune with my inner wolf. It’s weird, foreign, and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

“You will not take me from Thorin,” a soft voice whispers in my head and my eyes go wide.

“She just told me I won’t take her away from Thorin. What does she look like? What’s her name?” I ask, wishing I could remember a single moment when I shifted.

All I remember is pain and lethargy.

“The more you shift and become one with your wolf, the more you will be able to be present when you’re shifted. However, it’s nice to just let them run wild from time to time. She said her name was Azure, and she was beautiful.”

“She was?” I ask, grabbing the necklace so hard it feels like my palm may bleed.

“She was. Thorin was very smitten.”

I snort. “I bet he was.”

With a heavy sigh, I turn on my back and look at the ceiling. “Everything is a lie,” I whisper, and I truly cry, letting tears roll off the side of my face.

Deep down, I didn’t buy what my grandmother was saying. It felt like a half-truth. I’ve put so much of my identity into being a witch, into what I can give my coven, my grandmother. Yet, it’s all been a fucking lie.

“I don’t know who I am,” I whisper, nearly forgetting that Silas is next to me.

“Hey,” he says in a deep gravelly tone and I turn to face him. His massive hand cups my face and he wipes my tears away. “This changes a lot, but it doesn’t change who you are.”

“How can it not? I’m a witch, it’s who I am, it’s what I’ve held onto for the last decade and a half.”

“You’re still a witch.”

“They…if they find out,” I gasp and sink further into the sheets.

Will they cast me out of the coven? Will I end up like my mother—that I’m now certain never wanted to be forgotten and magicless. A life without Iris and Ember sounds meaningless.

My whole identity is wrapped up in my coven. Who am I if not a fully pure witch?

All the excitement from the transformation slowly is turning into pure panic and Silas can see it in my eyes as he grips both sides of my face, forcing me to stare into his eyes.
