35. Vow to Protect
Erica
Queen 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

Xavier"I am curious about one thing?" Xavier murmured. Erica hummed, urging him to continue his question. "Last night...the guards said that they never saw anyone leave the building but you..." he trailed off, reluctant. Their relationship was so fragile and the moment was so delicate, he did not want to break the bubble, to break this delicate thread. However, the thought had suddenly occurred and he believed in clearing the air and Erica had already opened up about herself a little.He realized that Erica had not responded. She had neither pulled away from him. He looked down but he couldn't see her face as it was still tucked under his chin. She was even resting one of her hands on his thigh which...for some reason Xavier hadn't noticed until then. His wolf purred and he couldn't even ask him to shut up because his heart skipped yet another beat at this gesture of hers."I think...I teleported?" Erica's reply ceased any other thoughts
Alpha's Mage 37. The Spy's Target
Erica"Rica! where have you been?" Lana shot up from the stool as soon as Erica entered. Josh was dozing with a cup of coffee in front of him. Erica shrugged, "Jogging". She honestly wanted to sleep, she was dead on her feet. Lana must have seen something in her expression because she had opened her mouth but then closed it. Instead, she offered, "Want to have some coffee?" Erica declined before trudging to her room.Even though she felt tired, she also felt a lot better, calmer. She burrowed her face further into the pillow her mind veering back to the time spent with Xavier. It felt good, to be sharing her thoughts and fears and theories with someone who believed you. It felt daunting at times and with the whirlwind of things that was happening to her she rarely had time to sit and process.Her cheeks reddened as she remembered how Xavier had reacted promptly when she was stricken with fear, how he had drawn her closer to him
Alpha's Mage 38. Date Night
EricaGlancing at her reflection in the washroom mirror for the last time she slipped into her black pumps which were the only footwear that she could label as 'fashionable' and made her to the door. She was about to slip out quietly when Lana's voice stopped her, "Going somewhere?" she looked over her shoulder and nodded.Lana did not interrogate her further but mumbled, "Have fun" and went back into her room. Erica's mood dampened a little. Her friendship with Lana was deteriorating but she couldn't help but watch how their newly formed camaraderie regarded with each passing day. Lana hadn't even spoken to Josh and her when they met up for lunch that afternoon.The cool air greeted her as soon as she stepped out of the building. Her gaze landed on the guards who stood stoically, eyes scrutinizing every person entering and leaving the hostel. She hitched her small backpack and started walking towards the main gate. Before stepping o
Alpha's Mage 39. Observe the Colours
EricaXavier must have felt her gaze because he turned his gaze towards her and murmured, "It's alright", and squeezed her hand lightly. She did not know why but she felt happy again with his reassurance. She heard the lady - Stella giggle softly. She glanced at her and blushed. "Let me show you to your table", she motioned them to follow her. The place was not very crowded yet they got a nice corner table right next to the window which overlooked the yard. Her gaze traced the view beyond the window, the yard also had a few tables and chairs, decorated beautifully. The trees beyond the yard wee hidden in shadows, in darkness."The place is beautiful isn't it?" Xavier's voice made her look away, her gaze flickered to his face. He was smiling softly. She nodded then asked, "Just out of curiosity, doesn't animals...you know to attack the place? I mean isn't this place vulnerable to such thing?" This made her mate laugh. It wasn't a chuckle or a grin
Alpha's Mage 40. Mending Friendship
EricaShe stiffened. Her gaze travelled towards Xavier who was blissfully oblivious. Not now, please. Can I not be happy for just a while and forget all the strange happenings and changes in my life, she thought miserably. Xavier was even humming a song and the atmosphere was beautiful until then. She squeezed her eyes shut as if that would make the voice cease as if that man would stop visiting her dreams. Only if..."Erica", Xavier's voice held concern and she wanted to throttle that unknown entity who disrupted her momentary peace. She opened her eyes and looked at him and when she saw his questioning gaze she said, "Uh...I was just...thinking", and chuckled nervously."Thinking?" he quirked an eyebrow. Now what am I supposed to say, she flailed for a suitable yet convincing answer. "Uh...the...kiss", she lied, well, not really because had she not heard the voice she would have been thinking about the kiss."Ah..that
Alpha's Mage 41. Believe
Xavier"How was your date?" Arnold asked not even trying to conceal his amusement. He glared at him, "So Matty told you?"The beta shook his head, "You can be quite conspicuous when romance is involved and let me tell you I was elated to discover this flaw of yours". He could see Arnold smiling smugly. They were patrolling the forest along with other royal guards and some student alphas. He really wanted to go home and recount the moments spent with his mate but then duty came first."How did my conspicuousness give away my secret?" the alpha asked humorously which was rare for him after they took up their expected roles in the werewolf hierarchy. He sighed and looked up. "That's...rare", he did not turn to look at his friend."You must really be happy today", the smile in Arnold's voice was evident. This time he looked at him. Yes, he was, after a long time. It felt like he was breathing fresh air after staying in a roo
Alpha's Mage 42. Trio's Day Out
Erica Was the text too forward? she thought as she stared at the screen as if staring at it would make Xavier reply to her message. But she had debated as to how she should formulate the message and finally the message she just sent sounded perfect then. She smacked her forehead and plopped back on the bed. Sundays were supposed to be fun-days but the word had decided to escape from her life the moment she had stepped into this campus. Her train of thoughts was interrupted by a loud banging on the door before it was flung opened unceremoniously. Lana marched in, "It's 10 in the morning, today is the first Sunday none of the three of us are doing anything so get your butt moving and freshen up we are going to visit the town", her order did not leave any room for argument so ERica just nodded and hurried to the washroom. It's true that this was the first time all three of them were free. It has already been one and a half month. How time flies, she sighed before turning on the shower.
Alpha's Mage 43. Family Secrets
EricaShe felt as if the walk from the cafe to the hotel seemed to take an eternity. Xavier had held her hand while they weaved through the thin crowd. Her heart was pounding. Why did her mom sound so stressed out? "I know it will fall into deaf ears but don't worry so much. I am sure it is nothing serious", Xavier murmured. Erica chuckled a little at that. She replied, "I hope it isn't anything serious. But it is so unlike her. She is the calm on out of the two". When they reached Erica asked, "Do you want to go in with me?" she was a bundle of nerves at the moment. Her gut feeling indicated that something bad was in store for her. Xavier shook his head, "I think it is a family matter where I might not be a welcome addition. I have some work at the office anyway. But call me if you need to, alright?" Erica nodded slowly. Xavier leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Her eyes fluttered close. This was new to her. He pulled away and cupped her cheeks, "Don't stress too mu
