35. Calm before the Storm

[Elias]-1007AD-Even during the afternoon, the quarter was doused in semi-darkness, afternoon sun flitting in through torn curtains. When Elias stepped in the threshold he saw that it was in chaotic disarray — every clothing was strewn all about, tapestry ripped into pieces and hanging in tatters, from water jug to candlestands every item was scattered on the floor, the liquids and wax staining the carpeted floor. This scenario was nothing new. This was a common sight after Rosa's passing but Elias' dread increased because it was too quiet. Even a few days ago when he had visited, Merek was almost rampaging inside his chamber. However, he couldn't help but feel bad for the maids and servants who were in charge of giving him food. He had forbidden anyone to enter his private quarters except a few and among them was Elias. "Alpha?" Suppressing his anxiousness and fear, he called out tentatively, his voice was thankfully steady but he received no answer in return. It had not even been

36. Bane and Boon

[Erica]"You can take your time and adapt to your role as the Luna Queen," Xavier said as he filled her plate with vegetables and bacon. "But Xavier-" she began to protest but a quirked eyebrow and a set of challenging eyes stopped her from saying anything further. She knew that none of the family members wanted her to take on the role until she was ready but she was. "Complete your course work first." He suggested."And your training with Elias." He added as an afterthought. They were spending their one week vacation in leisure. Taking strolls in the garden, getting to know each other even more and their nights were filled with passionate love-making, where at times, Leikos made an appearance. Erica liked this intimacy, she liked to be a part of his life. Sadly, Leikos was still unwilling to show himself and meet Erica in his true form. Even Xavier didn't understand why he was acting like so.'Maybe he is still not over the initial rejection.' she had wondered morosely.She had cal

37. Extending an Olive Branch

[Elias]"So someone in the Council is already aware of Freida and she dared to threaten Erica?" Lucien questioned with suppressed anger. Elias nodded as he drummed his fingers on the writing desk. "And you went to meet the Luna?" another query filled with rage and disbelief. He nodded again, not even daring to look at the other man's way. "I understand what you are trying to say, but you know it as well as I do that Freida is extremely observant and far-sighted. I needed to know what she had in mind." Lucien clicked his tongue in annoyance. "It could have been a trap for all we know. Otherwise, why would she accept Erica despite knowing who she is? When she didn't follow the path and become who she was supposed to be." He shook his head and remarked, "I cannot trust her."Elias listened to him in silence before exhaling resignedly. "I would like to disagree with you at this point." He stood up and started pacing. "Freida did not look like she was about to endanger us and you know tha

38. Mage's Bane

[Xavier]{We would like to meet His Majesty and Her Highness at the Council Headquarters today at 4 P.M.}He re-read the email, his fists clenched as his eyes skimmed over every word. "Alpha?" Arnold's voice made him glance up at his beta, who was staring at him cautiously. He could feel Leikos' presence strongly. Closing his eyes, he tried to calm down but failed. "The Council wishes to hold a meeting with Erica and me." His voice was gravelly and this was due to Lei's presence. He was certain that his pupils had turned black. Arnold lowered his head, "If I may ask, why this sudden arrangement?" He sighed aggravatedly, "I don't know. They haven't stated any reason. They have only written the date and time of the meeting." He was perplexed as to why they would suddenly want to meet them. The door was suddenly flung open and Jade walked in. "Did you receive the email?" she asked urgently. He nodded, his eyes still trained on the screen. "How did you know?" he quizzed. "They asked me

39. Snitch

[Erica]She looked at the spilt liquid with dread. What was that memory? What did her mind just reflect? Was this tea...a way to bring out her identity? She was breathing heavily as her gaze remained on the broken porcelain pieces and the golden-brown liquid. "Erica, are you alright?" she heard Xavier ask anxiously. An arm wrapped around her shoulder and it was then that she realised that she was trembling. "Your Highness?" She looked up at them and saw how their faces had paled. "Erica? What did you both plan?" the last part was directed at the two Elders. Xavier growled loudly. She placed a trembling hand on his thigh. "I want to go back." Her heart was pounding. She was this close... "Sure," he murmured. She barely registered his call to Jade and then there trip back to Xavier's room. As soon as they reached, Xavier carried her to their bed. She did not even protest when he fussed over her, too dazed and shocked by what could have been the outcome fo drinking that tea. "Erica..

40. The Tree that Held the Past

[Xavier]He heard Erica's voice calling him, breaking through the fog of sleep. He felt her hands lightly patting him as his senses awakened. Blearily looking at his mate, he groggily asked, "Yeah?" He blinked a few times to chase away the remnants of his sleep and as his gaze gained back its sharpness, he saw the flush high on her cheeks and excitement dancing in her eyes. "I am so sorry to wake you up." She pecked his forehead in apology, still not giving a reason behind her actions. "But can we go to that nook you showed me that day?" she looked at him hopefully. He stared at her, baffled, but sat up nonetheless. It was then that he realised that dawn had barely encroached the land of the living as if drawing out its rendezvous with the night a little longer before the former slipped away. He turned to look at Erica who had shuffled into their ensuite washroom. "Why are we going at this time?" he asked loud enough for her to hear as he pulled on his joggers and t-shirt. She grabb

41. Premonition

[Erica]She smiled apologetically. "I never told you about this, did I? I am sorry. It just slipped out of my mind." She looked sheepishly at Xavier's pinched face. She knew it was a lame excuse. But honestly, it never came to her mind to tell him about their connection with the late King and Queen. "So the truth is that I am the reincarnate of Queen Rosamond and you are King Merek's. Although I guess you are quite different from him," she said and looked at him, waiting patiently for him to process and then hopefully say something in return. "How...did this slip out of your mind?" He managed to ask. Erica sighed. "Between my kidnapping and coming back, I just provided you with the information that was of utmost importance. I know this one is too but..." she looked away. She didn't want to hide it but now telling him after so many months of knowing, now she was felt as if she had been concealing the truth. "Aldred told me that I am the Prophesied Queen since I am her reincarnate. T

42. Irrevocable Action

[Erica]She doesn't know how long she stands there, unmoving. The letter clutched in her hand, burning her skin. 'They will never be revived...' — the sentence echoed in her brain, hammering her senses and making her lightheaded. She felt numb. Her feet frozen on the spot. Her...close ones...gone? Elias...Lucien...gone? How? Who did it? she couldn't think anymore. "Elias?... Erica," an urgent shout followed by a garbled whisper broke her trance. She whirled around and saw a devasted looking Lucien standing at the doorway. Her eyes welled up. The tears she had been holding back, rolled down her cheeks in a steady stream. A broken sob escaped her lips and before long she rushed to him as if he was a spectre. She went into her grandfather's waiting arms and hugged him. Fear, helplessness, anger and despair intermingled as she sobbed."Are you alright?" he murmured, relief clear in his voice. She pulled away a little "What...happened here?" she asked in a quivering voice. Hopelessness fl

43. The Slow Unraveling

[Xavier]He followed Erica as she rushed down the stairs. "She is in the study," he said a little loudly. Erica, who had by now become well-acquainted with their house, turned right. He was getting worried about her. She was not herself at the moment and he worried that she might take a wrong decision. Erica was quite shaken by what she must have seen. He only hoped that his aunt had a proper solution. His aunt was waiting for them, looking tense. "Queen Jade, you have to do something," Erica cried out the moment they entered. "Erica, calm down and tell me everything," the older woman replied. Xavier could see how tired his aunt looked and that increased his respect for her even more. After he knew what she might have faced, how oblivious she still was of his mother's real identity, he couldn't help but hope that she wouldn't feel resentment towards her own sister. "They have been poisoned....all of them, but they are still alive or that's what the letter says and Elias is missing a

44. Unlikely Allies

[Erica]"Your Majesty, we meet again," Elias bowed solemnly. She turned to look at her mate in surprise. Again? But she held back her queries. Instead, she rushed to Elias and hugged him. "Thank God," she whispered in relief. The older man wrapped her easily in his arms. "I am glad as well," he murmurs. However, Elias looked unhappy with the sudden intervention. But he politely said, "I wasn't expecting...so many people." Jade replied, "Erica was worried about you and them," she gestured vaguely at the mages who were dubiously looking back at them. "You can't get rid of us that easily, Rica," Grey jeered half-heartedly. Erica's lips quirked up. She chuckled. "I'll hold you to that." But for some reason, she felt an ugly feeling churn in her gut and instantly she knew that this wasn't her feeling but Xavier's. She turned her head and glanced at him. His gaze was on Grey and they were shooting daggers at him. 'Oh shoot,' she cursed internally. Xavier did not like the familiarity with
