Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha's Mage: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

[Xavier]Those two words stay in his mind like a heavyweight, an uncomfortable presence. Every meeting he attended, every conversation he had, those two words always stayed with him. It's been a week since his first visit to Tristan. His brother was steadily recovering, still in his half-changed form but he was now able to sit with the help of support and talk in minimal sentences. He never minded one of his family members being there with him. Ava had practically started staying at the hospital until Mathilda had to convince her to stay at their house for the time being. However, Tristan had not spoken another word about his time in captivity. According to Dr.Reese, it was the trauma. Once their father had tentatively broached the subject instantly Tristan had deflated and stopped talking. Since then, no one has dared to bring it up. Even though Xavier wanted to know more than anyone but he was also concerned about his brother's well-being. He has visited him every day since then,

[Erica]"Can I not use the soul summoning thing?" Erica pleaded for the fourth time. Grey snorted, and Elias shot her a pointed look. "No. It's dangerous. You might be the prophesied queen, but you are still a novice. A beginner". He vaguely gestured at her outstretched hand, "You can barely control this levitation power and you are already talking about soul summoning". Erica lowered her gaze and glared at the ground petulantly. She thought it would be easy but it wasn't. Elias had to know why she was asking this, right? If only she could talk to Xavier for once, see him even if it was through the dreamscape...even then she would be more than happy. "Don't bite off more than you can chew," she heard Grey sneer before she heard a loud smack. Erica glanced up to see Vrisha, a girl slightly younger than her, frowning at Grey, "That's rich coming from your mouth". She received a glare from the older boy in return. "Hush, you two," Elias intervened while Erica continued sulking. It was

[Erica] She blinked, her brain flat-lining for a moment. Killed...what the fuck? He killed his mate? He gasped almost inaudibly. Lucien, it seemed was waiting for her response. But what was she to say? That ‘Oh granddad, it’s all fine and jazzy. I guess I am not surprised anymore?” or was she to just spew out venomous words at him, hurl him with stinging insults and ask him to leave and never speak to her again. “Killing?” she repeated monotonously before extending it to, “Why….you-you...why?” Her muddled-up query did not fail to convey what she wanted to know. Lucien answered, “Violet, Evangeline's mother, was my mate”. His voice quivered ever so slightly. Erica didn’t know whether it was because he was recounting the past or feeling an iota of guilt for confessing in such a way to his granddaughter.“It is...not unheard of, about two supernaturals from different clans to be mates. However, a mage and a werewolf are practically rare. After...uhm. The War? I hope you have been told

[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

[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
