27. Forgotten Ability
[Erica]
The classes were getting hectic, she walked wearily towards the cafeteria. Another round of emotional talk. she thought warily. She had not spoken to Drake last night. Drake had not called her either after she had texted that she was fine. As soon as she entered, she spotted her brother but her eyebrows furrowed when she saw him talking animatedly to another guy but what stopped her in tracks was his eyes. His eyes held fondness and...something else. This kind of look...she had never seen it before.
Even though the person he was talking to had their back turned towards her, he appeared familiar. Without waiting any further and observing from the sideline, she decided to meet the person who managed to bring out that kind of look in his brother.
"Hey!" she greeted enthusiastically. Drake seemed startled but whatever Erica was about to say died on her lips when her eyes landed on the person, "Axel?" she looked surprised, to

XavierHis head was throbbing. He could not get a wink of sleep last night, his mind reeling with the facts he read about Mages last night. He was yet to read that book, already knowing most of the pages by heart yet he knew that if he read the book now he would definitely see it from a different perspective."...Our queen could control elements of nature...She could foresee the future. But 'they' killed her... 'they' made her sacrifice Her life...Goddess will never forgive them..."These lines kept on swirling in his mind. He massaged his temples, the headache was getting worse. Want to go on a run?He offered to his wolf who yipped his consent. He was thinking too much, he needed to unwind. Running through the woods would let him think and relax. His phone vibrated, Ava's name flashed on the screen. He had been avoiding her calls all morning, sending her a quick text instead. He turned off his device in
Alpha's Mage 29. Unresolved Questions
Erica"Can you...describe...the wolf once again?" Xavier said slowly. Erica glanced at him, he looked tensed all of a sudden.Don't tell me...this too was related..."Uh...I just told you. His fur was black and he was tall, like not similar to a normal wolf, it was taller than an average human actually and its eyes were black and..." she trailed off, uncertainty lacing her tone. Should she say what it told her? What if...Xavier reacts badly?She decided to just get it out of her system, "Uhm...it called me 'mate'. But well...then I ran from there", she mumbled in low voice. She side-eyed Xavier and as expected he was clenching his jaw."Look, its just dream. It's not like-" but Xavier cut in, "It is something Erica. You wouldn't have dreams about such a wolf...a werewolf who also calls you their 'mate' just like that", he gritted. His nostrils flared a little. Erica placed her other hand on
Alpha's Mage 30. Dinner and Danger
Erica"So you are already getting cosy with him, huh?" Drake asked with a knowing grin. Erica shot him a withering look, her cheeks heating up. "Nothing like that...we just talked", she muttered as they walked leisurely towards the town. The guards had let them out surprisingly and as she stepped out of the gate she felt as if she had come out from another world.She already had a glimpse of the place outside the campus when she had first arrived but at night it looked different. The streetlamps were designed to look like the ones in the Victorian era, the bulbs throwing a soft glow on the path. The trees loomed darkly, like silent protectors of the forest, not letting anyone get a glimpse of what was beyond."It is forbidden to go outside the campus after 10, right? Erica quizzed, she really did not wish to cause trouble for Xavier or anyone. She disliked favouritism and this was bordering onto that.Her brother chuckle
Alpha's Mage 31. Precious One
XavierHe was almost near the mansion when his phone ringed. Stopping the car, he answered the call. A breathless voice informed, "Alpha, I am Drake Morris. Could you please come immediately near the edge of the forest, outside the campus. We are not very far from town. It is urgent". Balancing the phone between his shoulder and ear, he manoeuvred a turn, "I'll be there", and hung up.As he was driving his mind chalked up the worse reasons for the call. Drake had not given any specifics and that could either be that Erica was alright or she was not. He was keyed up through the entire journey which felt far too long, his foot pressing hard on the accelerator to diminish the distance. He felt Leikos brooding.Finally, his eyes spotted the siblings. Drake seemed to be injured and Erica's face was ashen. His heart drummed as he killed the engine and got out. He jogged towards them. His eyes made a cursory check on Erica for bruises or scratch
Alpha's Mage 32. Power Gives Satisfaction
EricaShe had no idea when sleep had claimed her senses, sending her off into a dreamless sleep until she felt someone shake her gently. She blinked her eyes open, looking blearily at the person, she rubbed her eyes and blinked a few more times. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she noticed, Xavier, leaning forward towards her seat probably being the one to wake her up, Jade sitting silently on the couch and Drake back from the infirmary all patched up.She sat up quickly as she was slouching in the seat and in the process her forehead came in contact with his nose and not too gently. "Ow", he grunted which made Jade break into fits of laughter and Drake who could not possibly dare to laugh outright, tried to suppress it.Erica apologized immediately, "Sorry", as she rubbed her forehead. Xavier bit back a grin as he straightened, "No issues". However, he did turn back and glared at his aunt."Hey Erica", Jade chirped gi
Alpha's Mage 33. Fragmented Memories
EricaIt was 7 in the morning, she had hardly gotten any sleep after that dream, well it cannot be called a dream. However, she was kind of getting used to it. She yawned and massaged her temples. There was a dull ache in her head. She chewed her bottom lip continuously as she waited for her parents to arrive. she mindlessly browsed through her phone having nothing much to do.Drake had to go for training. She tapped her foot anxiously. Since it was a weekend, the campus was fairly empty. She could see a few students taking a walk or jogging. She wanted answers and she waited for her parents' arrival with trepidation. She had countless questions, questions which hopefully her parents would be able to answer.Her train of thoughts came to a halt when she heard a familiar honk. She glanced up and there they were, getting out of the Beetle that used to be hers. Before she knew it, she had stood up and had started jogging towards t
Alpha's Mage 34. The Power of a Lycan's Blood
Erica"What?" her mother asked, disbelief clear in her face and voice. Her father, too, looked baffled. She nodded, "I am saying the truth. I can't ever forget that voice since I saw him or rather he dropped for a visit yesterday in my dreams that is".Her father stood up and shook his head, "But who is this person?""You mean you don't know either?" Erica asked, surprised. Here she thought she would get some information but apparently, it seems she has to stay in the dark until the person himself reveals his identity."I told you I found you unconscious, there wasn't anyone in sight", he reminded. His father pondered. She sighed. This wouldn't help them in any way."I think we should go back. Queen Jade will be coming today as well", she said as she stood up. Her parents nodded in agreement. As she got inside the car, she sent another text to Drake and asked him to inform Xavier. Her heart thumped with trepidatio
Alpha's Mage 35. Vow to Protect
EricaQueen Jade and Drake were already present when they reached Xavier's office. She also noticed Arnold and Vladimir outside his office. They bowed to her parents and nodded to her. Erica's stomach churned, her mom went and hugged Drake while her dad gave him a shoulder pat. She glanced at Xavier who smiled at her, calming her nerves. She shyly waved at him and smiled in return. She didn't know whether it was because she knew he was her mate but having him around made her feel safe."Hello Eve", Queen Jade hugged the Luna. Evelyn hugged her back. Pleasantries were exchanged for a while before they got down to business. Erica wrung her fingers as Jade asked, "So I guess you guys know why we are here?" Adrian nodded in affirmative."Uhm...I would like to say something", Erica spoke up. Five pairs of eyes turned towards her. She gulped. Why did I open my mouth? she groaned mentally. Jade who was leaning against the des
