38. Date Night
Erica
Glancing 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
Alpha's Mage 44. A Father's Perspective
Xavier As he drove towards the university, his mind veered back to the sudden phone call Erica received from her parents. I hope nothing serious has happened; he thought. Leikos remained silent. Ava was supposed to visit today and the woman whom he had once looked forward to spending time with, now seemed nagging. He sighed, he wasn't thrilled with the turn of events. Ava was his best friend, and she had been by his side through the hardest time and he owed it to her.Or was it an obligation for what she had gone through because of him? What she had lost all those years ago?~~~~Ava was waiting for him in his office. Her demeanour was haughty and when she glanced at him, her gaze shot daggers. He raised an eyebrow, "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed it seems". He kept his tone as casual as possible. He took a seat before asking, "So...what brings you here?" "Can't I visit my best friend if I want to?" she huffed, crossing her arms in front of her chest. He shook his head,
Alpha's Mage 45. Evangeline
EricaShe walked back to the campus in a daze. She knew if she wished to, she could have called Xavier and he would come to pick her up no matter what work he was doing, but she did not call him nor did she answer his call. What will she tell him? How will she face him now?Did you mean this as well? Should I tell him who I supposedly am? she questioned the silhouette man in her mind, expecting no answer, and she was partially disappointed when no one responded. She sighed, her legs started aching again. She felt weary and weighed down. Just when she thought she couldn't thank the Heavens enough for the wonderful things happening in her life, this revelation was dropped on her.While walking back alone she realised that the journey from the campus to the town was not a short one. She quickly glanced at the time on her phone. It was almost 8. As she was entering through the gate, she spotted her brother. Drake looked flushed
Alpha's Mage 46. Dormant Wolf in Disguise
[Xavier]"I have narrowed down the list of suspects", Sebastian said as he handed him the file. He scanned them. There were 15 names in total. All of them were human, but beside one name, it was written: dormant.Before Xavier could question, Gail, a professor and former Beta in Silvercreek Pack, said, "His name is Axel Saunders. He has been telling everyone that he is a human, but our special team had detected him behaving suspiciously. He has been seen going out of the campus frequently and in the town, to a run-down motel of sorts"."So have you seen him with any of our Kind?" he asked, putting down the file on the desk."Yes, a few wolves and a few humans, but there is no one in particular with whom he hangs out," Gail replied. Xavier nodded, "Alright, keep investigating".Once they had left, Arnold entered. "Are we patrolling tonight?""Yes, ask Vlad to patrol near the junior's hostel," he instructed.&
