My eyes darted from one to another. “What situation?”
“You did tell her, didn’t you?” Alister gazed at Finn.
“No. There’s nothing to tell. It’s not what you think.”
“Isn’t it? Or you just hope so?”
“Alister, that wolf met Spencer several days ago,” said Liam. “He just liked a girl, that’s all.”
“Are you all really that stupid?” Alister shook his head looking at all three of them.
Are they talking about that Eric guy?
“We are the only ones who can sense each other before we turn, remember?” said Finn. “No wolf could have sensed her then?”
“That’s right. Not any other wolf could. Except one. Her mate. And you know that.”
“My what?” My widening eyes moved from Alister to Finn.

THE WEIGHT OF MAGIC
CHAPTER ONE
It was the end of the summer break. The streets of our small town were emptier than usual. Families were still camping, visiting their grandparents, the luckiest spending the last days of their vacations at some exotic beach.
This year Connie and I didn’t go anywhere. We, two besties, spent the summer in each other’s company. Connie’s dad had to work. And my mom and dad had a busy summer, too. Something bad was brewing in the magical world, and the two of them had been away a lot.
There were only two days left before the start of school. Connie and I stepped out of the town mall after a few hours of shopping, each carrying a few bags with pencils, highlighters, a few notebooks, and of course, new clothes.
“Any plans for tomorrow?” Connie asked as we headed to our cars.
“Gran said she could use help in the store. She has a few boxes of books that need sorting. Wanna come?”
“Why not?” Connie stopped next to her car. “You know I like those old books.”
“Yeah.” I chuckled. “Their dust is really special.”
“See you tomorrow.” Connie grinned. She threw her bags on the back seat and got into the car.
I looked around the dark parking lot and slid onto my seat, and the two of us took off, one after another.
Another car followed behind mine. I noticed it a few minutes after Connie and I separated at the crossroad. I was wondering if it was one of our neighbors but couldn’t see the model of the vehicle, only the headlights in my rearview mirror.
When I drove into our driveway, the car stopped next to the neighbors’ house, but no one came out.Could be some stalker,I thought.Or, you’re paranoid. Mentally sneering at myself, I grabbed my bags, got out of the car, and marched into the house.
“Gran, I’m home,” I called from the hallway. I took a few steps, but then turned around, went back, and locked the door.Just in case.
Following the delicious smell of fried onions, I walked into the kitchen. My Gran Bree stood at the stove with a spatula in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.
“I see you found something.” She smiled, eyeing the bags in my hands. “Dinner will be ready in ten minutes.” She pointed the spatula at me. “Wash your hands and start setting the table.”
I was nearly eighteen, and I didn’t need a babysitter. But my parents refused to leave me alone in the house. My grandma lived at the other end of the town, and during their absence she arrived to keep her witchy eye on me. I didn’t mind. I loved my Gran.
“I’ll be back in a minute,” I said, heading to my room. “I’ll just put away the bags.”
