All Chapters of Alpha's Mage: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

[Erica]She looked around, stupified. Never has she dreamt of a place where she has never been before. Even though unlike in her dream, the place looked quite well looked after, it was quite bright as well. As she walked warily, her eyes remained alert. She gave a sweeping glance to spot the figure but they were nowhere to be found. She had an odd feeling, just like in her dream, she found a sense of familiarity. As if she knew this part by heart. As if she had already been here in person. It emanated a warm feeling almost like a person would feel coming home after a long time. She felt baffled by this. She decided to see around anyway. The east wing was pretty much like the west. The only difference was that there were fewer rooms which were all closed and most importantly this part had not been redesigned in any way. The place was untouched by modernity, it still held the past grandeur and care of its owner, Erica also discerned that the decors were more feminine, she could tell t

[Xavier]"So what you are saying is...she has heard someone call her Rosamond and then she hears the same voice calling someone 'Leif'?"  Jade inquired again. Xavier grunted an angry "Yes", to her query. He had walked Erica to her hostel which did not go amiss by many students and staff's prying eyes. He went back to his office and called off the meeting to his family's surprise and Ava's annoyance and then called Jade, narrating to her whatever Erica had divulged. Jade, too, seemed thoughtful about it. "So do you have any possible theory about this?" Xavier asked impatiently. Erica's blank stare and slumped shoulders were still etched in his brain, she looked like she had given up on something. As if him not believing her completely had made her believe that she might be delusional and Xavier loathed himself for it. Leikos was not comfortable with this situation as well."Look...I think I have one.

[Erica]"I am your what?" she asked, bewildered. Mates? the only meaning of the word 'mate' that she was acquainted with was when people addressed each other jovially. "Mates are supposed to be our soulmate who is just made for us," Jade clarified before either of the two men could speak. She was done with them fumbling and flailing with half-baked explanations. Erica was thankful to her for her prompt replies."I am his...what?" she repeated dumbly. Drake made an unhappy sound in his throat before settling back into the chair. She turned to him and glowered at him. Here she was, being told things that she believed existed only in fairytales and her brother was already getting impatient."I think...we should let Xavier take from here?" Jade suggested quite uncertainly. Erica's eyes flickered to the said man, she saw his jaw clench. He acquiesced eventually, "Yes, I shall explain everything to her."Jade sprung up from her seat and tugged Drake's hand who seemed a little reluctant to l

[Xavier]"You can sometimes be a total buffoon!" Jade all but yelled at him making him flinch slightly. Jade seemed beside herself, her eyes flashing red with fury. "Why was she crying, Xavier?" she growled. Leikos gave a warning growl, 'She is disrespecting us!' Xavier did not deign to reply. He gritted his teeth but did not talk back. Jade had the right to be angry. He had fucked up and now he had to solve this. "I might have said...something which she might have been misinterpreted," he muttered averting his eyes from his aunt's icy stare. "And...what did you say?" Jade asked, staring daggers at him. "That she was not someone I expected to be my mate," he replied ruefully. "Damn it, Xav," she groused."Most people who have been told that they are different take an ambiguous statement negatively. Erica did too. I cannot fault her. Imagine heari

XavierHis head was throbbing. He could not get a wink of sleep last night, his mind reeling with the facts he read about Mages last night. He was yet to read that book, already knowing most of the pages by heart yet he knew that if he read the book now he would definitely see it from a different perspective."...Our queen could control elements of nature...She could foresee the future. But 'they' killed her... 'they' made her sacrifice Her life...Goddess will never forgive them..."These lines kept on swirling in his mind. He massaged his temples, the headache was getting worse. Want to go on a run? He offered to his wolf who yipped his consent. He was thinking too much, he needed to unwind. Running through the woods would let him think and relax. His phone vibrated, Ava's name flashed on the screen. He had been avoiding her calls all morning, sending her a quick text instead. He turned off his device in
