Alpha's Mage 56. Gratitude and Revelations
[Erica]The question rendered her speechless momentarily. Lana was crouching and almost cowering away from her while her eyes occasionally darted over to Cole, still lying on the floor unconscious. She felt as if she had been at the receiving end of this haunted, scared look."I... I am a...a witch," she managed to reply. Her palms sweating profusely. Lana stared at her for sometime before straightening into a sitting position. She still looked at her sceptically. Erica swallowed nervously. She slowly inched towards her friend, who thankfully did not flinch at her advance."I am still Erica, you know. Just... not the human you thought I was," she said with a tremulous smile. Lana whispered, "But your eyes..." This made Erica halt. She furrowed her eyebrows, "Eyes? What about them?" She had crouched as well, now facing her.Lana frowned, "Your eyes... they had turned icy blue," Erica's eyes widened as Lana con
Alpha's Mage 57. The Punishing Deal
[Xavier]The good old dungeon in the castle served the purpose of an interrogation room. The dungeons had been refurbished. The cells were replaced with small rooms and CCTVs had been installed. There in total 10 interrogating rooms which also acted as a prison sometimes. While Xavier hasn't had to use all of these rooms on the campus, that was not the case outside of the campus. Unlike the humans, supernatural had a harsh way of punishing the guilty so the prison cells were rarely put to use. Their footsteps echoed on the polished floor. Arnold was already there, waiting. He could feel that Drake was tensed, his back straight as if strung on a live wire. The area was brightly lit with fluorescence lights. A few guards were standing at the doorway. They bowed as both the Alphas entered. Arnold was standing outside the door of the room where Axel supposedly was. "Did he try to fight or show any kind of violence?" Xavier asked as soon as they were near the room. Arnold shook his head.
Alpha's Mage 58. The Past Unfolds
[Erica]The castle was eerily silent. The sky was overcast. There were guards everywhere, but no one seemed to notice her. She was thankfully not in anyone else's body. However, she was sure that this was another peek into the past. The shadow man had not visited her ever since the day he had disclosed her mother's actual name. She also did not get any further dreams about any sort after meeting Queen Rosamond.Maybe I am here because of what happened back in the evening, she wondered. She started trudging down the main corridor, heading towards the East wing. Suddenly she heard the sound of footsteps. Even though the chances of her being caught were slim to none, still she felt awkward while standing in the middle of the corridor and gawking at apparent strangers.She went and stood beside a pillar. Soon two figures came into view and looking at one of them, Erica's eyes widened. The man looked like Xavier. Well, al
Alpha's Mage 59. A Promise
[Erica]Before she could react and do something... anything, her vision is shrouded in black and then she is back in that inky black forest. The only difference — the shadow man no longer lurked in the shadows. Elias stood in front of her. Her guess was correct."What happened after that? Tell me," she demanded. Her heart was still beating fast. The image of the child falling sends cold shivers down her spine. Was he saved?"Don't worry, Little One. Rosamond saved him in time," came the calm reply. Erica exhaled slowly, her nerves calming a little. Now that she was no longer worried, she looked at Elias. He did not look a day older than what he had looked so many centuries ago. There was a soft glow about him, like a shroud of light that illuminated his form."Was this the 'history' you were talking about?" Erica asked bitterly. Elias nodded, "I wished to reveal my identity a little l
Alpha's Mage 60. Mine to Cherish
[Erica]Xavier did not react for a long time, which started to worry her. She hesitantly called, "Xavier?" and it was that her mate blinked. Once, twice, and then opened his mouth before closing it again.Even though Erica's heart was rabbiting she attempted to joke, "Did I render you speechless?" Xavier looked at her with a dumbstruck expression. Then, he finally said, "You... are a mage?" Erica nodded. "Born as one?" another nod."But that's-""-impossible? I know". Erica still couldn't gauge his reaction. Whether it was taken positively or whether he was having second thoughts was hard to tell. She tightened her hold and revealed, "My mom...she, well, she did not exactly speak the truth about her lineage". There was uncertainty in her voice. Xavier's gaze hardened, "What?"Erica hurriedly explained, "My father had no idea. She was on the run and therefore she did not wish to disclose her identity at the very be
Alpha's Mage 61. The Lost Lycan
[Xavier]Maybe Elias was the one who visited in my dreams as well, he mused. But he did not say that to Erica. The conversation was far from over. He knew, and so did Leikos, that Erica had more to say. Had Josh not burst into the room all of a sudden, they would have talked a lot more. For that, the gamma had to suffer from a severe glare from not only him but also Lana. But before he could show the wolf his place, Erica had intervened.As he sat in his office, pondering and going over their earlier conversation, he heard a knock on the door. He looked up to see Jade sauntering in.Xavier did not bother to ask the reason for her visit. Jade sat back before saying, "Heard that you guys caught the spy, or rather Drake caught him". She waited for his reply with a raised eyebrow, but at that moment, the spy situation was at the back of his mind. He simply nodded before turning back his gaze to the laptop screen. He had access t
Alpha's Mage 62. Search Begins Anew
[Xavier]He shook his head as if to dispel those ugly thoughts. He was here, in this room, for a reason. Standing up, he started walking around the once familiar space. The room was not too large, therefore; it did not take much time to raid through the cupboard which basically consisted of clothes and some trivial documents. Memories flashed through his mind as
Alpha's Mage 63. Abduction
[Erica]"Let's go and wander the woods," Josh said from where he was sprawled on his bed while Erica and Lana were sitting on the floor, polishing off the last bit of mac N cheese from their respective takeout boxes. They were spending their day off lazily. Now that Cole was dealt with, the tension had evaporated, giving way to a relaxed mood.
