Alpha's Mage 10. A New Luna Queen
[Xavier]For a while, he was sure that he had heard wrong. Whatever remnant of drowsiness he was feeling had long before evaporated giving way to a quickened heartbeat and disbelief. He knew Jade well enough and that omitted the fact that she was merely playing a prank. She wouldn't do so. Not emotions. "Why?" the question punched out of his mouth. At the back of his brain, in the deep recesses of his heart, he knew the reason very well. Without a mate, a rejected Alpha will eventually wither away. An Alpha King without a Luna Queen is likely to go out of his mind eventually. They become feral. He heard his aunt sigh, "Xavier....you know the reason". She sounded tired. This did not sit well with him. He demanded, "Did you try to dissuade them?" If Jade knew the news it meant that one of the Council members had reached out to her first. "You think I didn't? I tried but they wouldn't fucking listen to me", she said, disgruntled. Xavier reached out or tried to reach out to Leikos who
Alpha's Mage 11. Reasoning
[Erica]She scowled as Elias sat on the opposite chair and continued chuckle. They were currently sitting in the library after Erica had begrudgingly asked Elias to tell him more about her power. Unfortunately, Elias had taken one look at her deciphered that she hadn't slept. After a little coaxing, she had finally and sullenly muttered about her idiotic idea of trying to summon. "So...you really thought it was that easy?" Elias had asked humorously. It was a wonder that he hadn't laughed out loud. Erica felt every ounce of regret for letting this information slip out of her mouth. "Well, you wouldn't tell me", she groused. She huffed and looked away, staring out into the darkness. It was windy outside so they had decided to not practise today. She was getting used to this darkness, this everpresent night. She wondered how long will she stay here or whether she will ever be able to go and meet her family. A sigh pulled her out of her melancholic thoughts. Her gaze settled on Elias
Alpha's Mage 12. Quandary
[Erica]She stood there, numb. Xavier was taking another mate? She stared back at Grey's eyes. filled with sadness. "What are you talking about?" Elias thundered, making Grey startle and instantly look at him. Erica, however, stood there, her whole world seemed to have come to a standstill. The words 'choice mate' rang in her mind, rendering her dumbfounded. Grey gave a shaky nod, "Uh...Lucien seems mad as well. You know how he gets right?" Elias' lips thinned. He turned his gaze towards Erica, "Eri-""He is my soulmate, right?" Erica asked in a hollow voice. Xavier was supposed to love her, cherish her, didn't he say that? Did that love just evaporate when she vanished from his life? Did he hate so much now that he was willing to take another person as his mate? "Erica", Grey called tentatively. She ignored and settled her gaze on Elias' hesitant ones, "Say, Elias, isn't that what mates are for?" The numbness had given way to anger. She felt as if fury was engulfing her being, inc
Alpha's Mage 13. Bittersweet Reunion
[Xavier]"We meet again", his mate said in a brittle tone. She seemed far from being happy but that did not stop Xavier's heart from beating rapidly. His brain shuttered, was he seeing things? Was she really...here?He was on his feet and so was his aunt. However. his feet stayed rooted on the same spot. He heard Jade gasp. He wasn't seeing an apparition then? She really was here?These past few weeks he had thought how he would confront her, what he would say to her and how he would pursue her if need be but in this moment, words eluded him. A breathless moment later he said in a dazed tone, "Yes"."Where have you been?" Jade demanded, making her presence known. However, Erica did not answer her, merely spared her a glance. She looked pale and tired. Her eyes conveyed an array of emotions. Xavier stared back, unable to believe that after a number of fruitless searches, his mate would appear unannounced. "I wish to talk to Mr. Ravenwood. Alone", she said in a clipped tone. Xavier's h
Alpha's Mage 14. Xavier’s Bane
[Erica]There comes a time when one suddenly feels lost, when suddenly everything from them is snatched away and all they can do is mourn the loss, helpless and devasted. Erica was numb. What had she done? How did she do this without knowing about the consequences? Was Elias angry for this reason? Was this the reason told her his past? Hundreds of questions swirled in her mind making her dizzy. Her tears had dried up. This grief will not even let her shed tears. "But...but there's...there has to be a way right? We could...", she wracked her brain to come up with a solution. This simply couldn't be. Xavier can't go feral. This man....she still saw him as her mate, he can't be cursed with such a fate, not because of her. Not because of anyone. "We could mate? Like bond?" she suggested, her gaze searching his tired eyes, the dimmed orbs stared back. His lips curved into a rueful smile. He pulled away a little and averted his gaze.Rejection? Or was he just giving up?His arms still loo
Alpha's Mage 15. Unforeseen
[Erica]"You are un-fucking-believable", Jade cursed loudly, throwing up her hands exasperatedly. Erica, on the other hand, did not whether to cry or slap him. She was still reeling from the fact that Xavier, who asked her why she had rejected him, who seemed heartbroken by the loss is not willing to save himself. Just to save her? She pulled away from him, not missing the hurt that surfaced in his gaze.She turned to fully face him and glared, "What do you mean by 'no'?" She was not letting Xavier throw away his life for her and while she knew the chances of Jade coming to know about her were high, she didn't care. After all. Elias and Lucien had some explaining to do. Jade came and stood beside her, crossing her arms, she too demanded, "Yes, what the fuck do you mean by 'no'?" She could see the distressed look on his face but how could he just throw away the one chance that they had? The one chance that could mend the mistakes she had committed just a little, the one chance that w
Alpha's Mage 16. Incomparable Happiness
[Xavier]His assent had brightened Erica's whole face and his heart warmed up at the sight. When he had refused to go forward with the plan it was because he wanted to protect Erica at all costs. He had seen his father's eyes become completely black with the need to destroy Aldred and mages in general. Introducing Erica to everyone would not only endanger her but also others if her words were anything to go by then definitely there were others. But the fact that Erica would go to the extent of giving away her identity to Jade just so that she could know and he could accept? He did not imagine this at all. The love for her had increased even more. He smiled at her nonetheless and moments later Erica's palms left his face and her arms wrapped around his torso as she hugged him again and who was he to refuse it? He encircled his arms around her and rested his chin on the top of her head. He could feel Leikos stirring slowly at the back of his mind and now that he had almost got back hi
Alpha's Mage 17. Trepidation
[Erica]"Elias!" she bellowed the moment she arrived at the mansion. There were very few people at the living area and all of them looked equally startled by her sudden hostility. Lucien who was talking to one of the younger mages asked in a concerned tone, "Erica? What happened?" He walked up to her and grasped her shoulders. Erica to his shock and surprise pulled away from that grasp and glared at him. "I need to speak to you as well", she gritted. Lucien nodded jerkily."Now where is Elias?" she muttered. Vrisha who had suddenly emerged from the corridor informed, "He is in the library". Her eyes clouded with worry as Erica stalked past her towards the library with Lucien trailing behind. "So what else are you concealing?" she demanded as she stomped into the room. Elias who was reading looked up, surprised. Erica saw his gaze travelling behind her towards Lucien no doubt, but she wasn't having any of it.She sat on the other chair and quizzed, "Why did you not tell me the conseq
