The Rejected Alpha King

[Erica] Her heart was still pounding, dulling the throbbing ache in her chest momentarily. She had screwed her eyes shut, giving into the exhilarating sensation of teleporting from one place to another. It felt as if the wind was rushing past her ears, caressing her entire body, and then

[Erica]Her eyes fluttered open. However, she couldn't tell if it was day or simply she had woken up in the middle of the night. She definitely felt rested, even though her eyes felt dry and crusty. She rubbed her eyes and padded to the washroom. The mansion was surprisingly equipped with a good water supply. Maybe it's magic, she thought offhandedly as she washed her face. She looked at the medium-sized mirror above the washbasin. Tired, swollen and red-rimmed eyes stared back at her. Her skin looked pale. She hardly recognised herself anymore. She exited the washroom and decided to go outside and see if anyone had woken up. The corridor was silent. She padded her way to the hall or the living room where she had first met the others. She was about to enter when she heard hushed voices coming from the room. She stilled and strained her ears to listen."I don't want to burden her any further", a male voice said, and Erica could bet

[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. 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 minimal sentences. He never minded one of his family members being there with him. Ava had practically started staying at the hospital until Mathila 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 heir father had tentatively broached the subject and 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. 

[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 in

[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.
