All Chapters of Alpha Erik: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Chapter 13 - Illusions The sun broke the night sky, and mixes of oranges and purples swirled above us. Apollo and I stood outside all night. Neither one of us is speaking. The only sound was Apollo humming the same tune over and over, as much as one would think it to be an annoyance. It wasn’t. It still kept me calm time and time again. The cold air was welcomed and also needed. It reminded me that the nightmare wasn’t real. My mother was still alive, and the fire wasn’t consuming everything in its path, making the air hot and sticky. We ate our breakfast in silence too. Nothing about it, surprisingly, was awkward. Finally, we started packing up to begin our last trek through the Temptation forest. This part of the forest was the last stretch of land we had to cross before we were in the dragon's territory. But it was also the most dangerous. Even with the hot sun beating down on us, the path would be darkened by the thick branches. The creatures of the forest depended on that. They

Chapter 15 - Ryuu The village was anything but small. It was almost as huge as Gardenia. And that was the capital of the Fae realm. It held thousands of Fae and Lycan families. Even some other species decided to settle in the Fae realm. It was the median between all realms—neutral ground for travellers and merchants alike, a safe space. “This place is huge,” I muttered in amazement as my eyes continued to look at building after building. Houses were built into the cliff sides—intricate layouts of stairways leading up the mountainside. The peaks of the mountains were practically invisible as they reached well up into the sky, surrounded by copious amounts of clouds. The sounds of distant roars and people shouting and talking could be heard all the way from where we were standing. It was breathtaking and not what I expected at all. After the two days, it took to trek through rough terrain. Nothing but jagged rocks and dirt until we reached the forest, I would have never imagined a bea

Chapter 17 - Delusions “You mean to tell me that a deity decided to come and warn me of my future? Yeah, right, I’m not important enough to earn a visit from someone like her.” I scoffed, shaking my head. “Besides, aren’t they suppose to be all young and beautiful and only visit you in your dreams or something? The woman I talked to was old and claimed to be a fortune teller.” Garren let out a booming laugh that made the whole room shake. “She came to you as an old hag. That’s rich. I have heard stories of her visits, but that is a new one. She appears as someone who would be approachable to the targeted individual. Guess she figured old and crazy would suit you.” His voice was full of amusement. I turned to see Apollo trying his best to conceal a smirk as well. “Are we just going to make fun of me or actually try to track her down?” I asked sharply. Garren cleared his throat. “Right, so now that I know who we're after, there will be a few things we need to do to catch her trail.”

Chapter 19 - Unique Fascinations I stare at Garren in disbelief. Yes, we are all related to our mothers by creation. But some are special. Some are not just creations of our mothers but blood relatives. The lines of that heritage are old, so old in fact, that they were thought to be extinct for centuries. Of course, it would be a dragon who would still be a direct bloodline. They live immortal lives like Dacian and Fae. My heart stopped for a beat as I really let it sink in. The fact that my mother had higher authority over him was just mind-blowing. He looked at me with a knowing look. “I may be related to Ryuu, the spirit of dragons. But your mother is created by divine power and holds the blood of two deities, Imelda. So her heritage is directly linked to both, as is yours. So you and I are equals. Don’t think otherwise.” Garren turned his attention back to Gregory. “I need you to prepare my quarters and have Imelda placed in the room attached to mine. I need to visit my parent

Chapter 21 - Bonds It had been a week since we started looking for Ryuu. Mildred and Hunter had focused a lot of their energy on location spells. They had just left yesterday to travel to the Fae realm. They were under strict orders to remain unseen. To avoid potentially alerting my parents of my location. While they worked there, picking up any traces of the magic she left behind. Garren and I worked on our end, preparing strategies to try and draw her to us once we were close enough to her last location. Garren had explained that it was easier to draw her to us than look for her. With us being closer to the last place with the strongest remnants of her magic, we would be able to use it to call to her. It was more of a theory than anything, but Garren and the others believed it was possible to do with our magic combined. As they said a few times, power was drawn to power, and she couldn't resist the urge to sneak a peek at who was trying to call her. After the tense discussion with
