“I don’t actually need his permission. I’ve kicked his ass before and can do it again.”
“Which is why I have a vested interest in not pissing you off. I believe that.”
Before I could even say anything, Headmaster Krauss got up to make her announcement. Anyone who might have still been on her side after she planned on meddling with dorm assignments and made changes to the attendance policy that had been in place since the university was founded was definitely not supportive of her changes anymore.
She just announced to the entire student body she was canceling the moon orgy, and anyone caught in Halliwell Square having sex under the full moon would be expelled.
Lindsay Krauss just cock blocked an entire college. What was she thinking?

Most sane headmasters that weren’t on a power trip tried to avoid doing shit that interrupted classes while students planned their protests. None of the teachers had her back. They were helping us. Azren switched their lesson to effective protests in history and how to get shit done. I was a freshman, so it would be another two years before I was in Gabriel’s class, but I already knew he was doing the same.
None of my professors were teaching their planned lessons. They ratted her out, too. Theyalltold her this was a bad idea at the faculty meetings, and she did it anyway. My Arcane Arts professor was pretty old. His moon-orgy days were probably far behind him. If he was still an active participant in that, more power to him, but his joints sounded like Rice Krispies every time he stood up, and I was pretty sure they weren’t supposed to make that noise.
Professor Jinx was ready toviolentlyoverthrow Headmaster Krauss over this. Several witches in my classes were begging Kaylee to talk some sense into her, but the rest had turned on her. Everyone had moved their classes to Halliwell Square to plan the revolution.
This was going to get violent. The upperclassmen were furious, and the freshmen were just as mad. You couldn’t go to a moon orgy if you didn’t have your magic yet, and you definitely weren’t getting invited to one if you got your magic before you turned eighteen because most supernaturals weren’t into that. This would have been the first one for most of us. It was a rite of passage.
It was Church who fixed the whole thing. He was going upseveralnotches in my spank bank. He saw this was going to get violent. The Paranormal Investigation Bureau wasn’t going to care Headmaster Krauss canceled the moon orgy for no reason. Theywouldcare if a student assaulted her. It was an instant expulsion and probably jail time. I agreed she needed to be knocked down a peg, but not at the expense of anyone’s future.
Church saw that right away. I was sitting on the grass with Matilda and Mags, brainstorming how to fix this. Church plopped down next to us and smirked at me.
“If I can get the moon orgy back on in thirty minutes without anyone getting maimed or expelled, can I join you and West when it’s back on?”
“Do it,”Mags said.
“If you can pull that off, I’ll be rooting for you to have that threesome with West and my sister,” Matilda said.
“I’m listening,” I said.
I was pretty much already set on the idea of messing around with both of them, but a girl had to play hard to get sometimes.
“Well, the professors told her this was a bad idea, and she did it, anyway. I’m guessing she didn’t run this by the board. Honestly, I’m a little shocked the faculty is all out here organizing protests instead of just calling them. I called my grandfather. He got them all on a video call. The board definitely wasn’t aware and certainly doesn’t approve. Anyway, Lindsay Krauss is about to be reminded she answers to a board and can’t just change anything she wants without approval.”
That was sexy as hell. Church just threatened Lindsay with the one thing she didn’t want to lose—this job. She’d still be rotting at her old one if she hadn’t stolen Minerva’s blood-lock spell and cheated her way into it. Lindsay wasn’t scared of Lilith, apparently, but I knew she desperately wanted to be as relevant as her great-aunt without earning it.
“Oh, my shit, I’msofucking you alotif you manage to stick it to my nemesis. The whole twin thing with the roommates the first day was because of me. She sued me when I was twelve.”
“I’m not a fan of our headmaster, and neither is my grandfather. He voted for Gabriel Morningstar. If sticking it to Lindsay Krauss is your kink, consider it game on.”
I let out a little moan because it apparently,wasa kink. I just didn’t realize it until Church flexed that familial connection to not only put Lindsay Krauss in her place but get the moon orgy back on.
It waslessthan thirty minutes. Lindsay didn’t come out herself, but the board came out to Halliwell Square to tell everyone to return to class and that moon orgies would never be canceled at this university.
Church was going to be a fucking hero on campus after this, but I was pretty sure he would be mine before the end of the semester.
I was glad I caught him stalking me.

Moon orgies were common. We had them in Azren’s realm. Azren’s realm had three moons, unlike this one. I couldn’t go to one until I turned eighteen, and that didn’t happen until right before I left for the academy, so this would have been my first one.
I was technically a shifter since I could turn into a snake, but I had extra abilities they didn’t have. The shifters hadn’t bothered me. They didn’t seem to want anything to do with me, which was fine with me. I was here for an education and to find out what happened to my mom.
The witches were another story. I didn’t get Azren’s obsession with George Bell, but she stopped staring at me and hadn’t bothered me, so I just ignored her. Some of the other witches were trying to recruit me for their covens and invited me to play with them at the moon orgy.
No, thank you. I didn’t trust witches. I could go to college with them, but I’d watch my back. I wasn’t going to join their covens or play with them at moon orgies. I was pretty sure the witches were the reason my mom fled this academy, and both my parents ended up dead. Witches were the only ones who had ever hunted basilisks because our bodies made good spell ingredients for dark magic.
