47. A Glimpse of the Past
[Erica]
She stared at the book lying on the desk. It's just an effing book not a fucking time bomb, calm down Rica, she tried to assure herself but her heart kept pounding even more so because Xavier was now able to read her like an open book. She had feared that he would almost coax the truth out of her but thankfully he didn't. She shook away those thoughts. She needed to read this book and hopefully, hopefully, she will know more about her powers.
The red-leather-bound book, titled: Language of Colours, written by an anonymous, looked similar to the one that she had picked up on that fateful day, the day she had unknowingly 'infiltrated' a magical barrier. Even though it was in good condition, the wear and tear on the edges and the yellowing pages told a different story.
Taking a deep breath, she began reading...

[Erica]She had realised that she had fallen asleep while reading. But without a doubt, that dream had not been her imagination or her subconscious playing games with her. She had been shown a glimpse of the past. So she had gone straight to find Xavier and when she was informed by Arnold that he was in his office, she had burst in, eager to tell him about all that she had learnt when she noticed Queen Jade's presence.That gave her an idea. The Queen of the wizarding world was her only option at that moment. She would know how Erica could enhance and improve her abilities. However, when she asked Jade to help, she received a puzzled look."You want me to teach you?" the blue-haired woman asked slowly. Erica nodded her head eagerly. "Why? I mean, all of a sudden?" the older woman furrowed her eyebrows. Erica glanced at Xavier who had back to sitting, frowning at the laptop screen. Huh? What's up with him. Jade probably followed her g

[Erica]Her entire body turned numb. Jade's piercing gaze bore into her. She opened and closed her mouth, but no words seemed to come out of it. Jade pursed her lips, "I know you might not have meant to keep it a secret or do you even know what powers a witch can possess?" Erica considered her question before answering, "I don't".Nevertheless, her heart was pounding in her ears. What if Jade actually knew she was a mage but was pretending to be unaware of her true identity? Jade fixed her gaze on the castle, "Our Kind has evolved. We also have laws and taboos like the human world. Our Elder -- supernatural beings who are over 1000 years old had formed a Council and have formulated these laws. Our Kind has evolved as humans have and we have seen many beings possess such rare and powerful abilities that have baffled majority of the Council many a time". She turned to look at Erica once again, "However, your powers are combined so strangely t
Alpha's Mage 50. Worse than Death
[Erica]"If you could kindly pay attention, Miss. Morris, I will be obliged," Professor Harrison's sarcastic remark startled Erica out of her reverie. She realised that many pairs of eyes were looking at her now, some irritated while some merely curious. She ducked her chin and mumbled, "Sorry, sir".Mr.Harrison shook his head in disapproval before continuing his lecture on the modernist poets. Erica twirled the pen as she went back to her train of thoughts. It had been a few days since her conversation with Jade. She had not met that woman after that day.Xavier had not asked her anything regarding it, so she assumed that maybe Jade had told him whatever conversation they had. Jade's words still echoed in her mind. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake off these thoughts. The fact that she might be punished for something that was not in her control terrified her to no end. On the one hand, she was determined to keep her i
Alpha's Mage 51. A Pleasant Evening
[Xavier]He had parked his car at the same place where he had parked earlier and waited eagerly for his mate. He wouldn't say that he had dressed to the nines, but this time he had put a little more effort in getting dressed. He glanced at his watch for the fifth time.Checking the time every 5 seconds won't make her arrive any sooner, Leikos jibed. He was still mad about not being able to meet Erica. Oh shut up, Xavier groused. A soft clacking of heels caught his attention. His eyes travelled to the side-view mirror, and the sight made his breath hitch.Erica had definitely put more thought in dressing this time as well. She was beautiful, and the attire made her look even more beautiful. The blue shade of her dress somehow matched with her eyes.He got out of the car and received her with a hug. He grasped her hands lightly and softly kissed both the knuckles."You l
Alpha's Mage 52. Leikos
[Erica]She was still dazed by the mind-blowing make-out session, which yet again took place on the road. When Xavier tugged her hand lightly started walking into the forest, she easily went along with him. She blindly trusted his guidance as she could hardly see anything once they were deep into the forest. However, what confused her was why Xavier had taken off his jacket before coming into the forest. But she did not voice her confusion.They came to a stop in a clearing. The half-moon's light partially illuminated the pace, enabling her to take in the surrounding.Xavier turned towards her, "You can turn around if you don't wish to witness the actual transformation or keep your eyes trained n me", he suggested. He was giving her an out but she could understand how much her meeting Leikos meant to him.She shook her head, "I want to see you transform". She heard a sharp intake of breath. "Alright then", came the
Alpha's Mage 53. Ava
[Erica]"How many times will you look at the mirror? Had I known better, I would have assumed that you are a narcissist," Lana commented drily while she sat cross-legged on her bed. Once again, Erica had asked for her friend's help for the outfit. Lana had picked out a beautiful, off-shoulder, emerald A-line dress, and matched it with silver hoops. She had dragged Erica to the town, and they had done shopping for quite a long time. Josh had been sulky when he came to know about their impromptu shopping trip."You did not even bother to ask me," he had whined, earning a smack at the back of his head from Lana, "Shut up. You went to the nightclub the other day. Did you ask us?" Her withering glare shut him up. However, he kept sulkily pouting the entire day. Erica poked her head out of the washroom to see Lana scowling at the phone. She grimaced, "Yes because I am not used to wearing such clothes". She walked out and picked up her purse. She felt jittery. Drake was supposed to escort
Alpha's Mage 54. The Pretentious Mate
[Xavier]Leikos was getting annoyed and anxious. Why did Ava offer to show Erica around?he wondered. He hardly paid any attention to the conversation among his aunt and mother while his father and uncle Roland had gone to play billiards in the game room. He wasn't keen on joining his father and he was too restless to do anything else, so here he was stuck with his mother and aunt."I wish Matty could join us," he heard Jade sigh. Freida hummed in agreement, "I know, but then at the last moment she was dragged away by her sisters-in-law for a shopping trip". Jade grumbled. She was not too fond of Mathilda's sisters-in-law.Xavier was least interested to stay and listen to the two sisters gossiping about everything and nothing. Let's go and find Erica, Leikos suggested. Xavier stood up and was about to leave when Jade stopped him."Xav, wait. Don't we have some important things to discuss
Alpha's Mage 55. Culprit
[Al]"What are you talking about?" he chuckled nervously. He was trembling inside. Drake's eyes looked murderous. He was seething, "Don't pretend to be ignorant". His alpha tone immediately made him cower. He sputtered, "Li-listen to me — " but he did not know what excuse he could give. Drake did not let him speak anyway as he wrapped his fingers around his throat and slammed him against the wall. Fear coursed through his veins instantly as he felt his eyes bug out. Involuntarily he started thrashing violently, trying to pry away Drake's fingers, then tried to claw his face or inflict some kind of injury, but to no avail. The more he struggled, the more Drake's fingers tightened. "Dr-drake, pl-lease...I-I can't br-breath", he managed to stutter out, struggling to keep his breathing normal. But Drake did not budge. The guy standing in front of him was not a caring lover, but an alpha who has been betrayed. "Good, I would have strangled you to death, but I need answers," the alpha spa
