The Alpha Who Saved Me

Chapter 53

Emery

I don’t remember sweating this much whenever I prac- ticed my magic back at school.

Now, the sweat is just pouring down my face and I’m constantly wiping it away. Miss

Beat- rice stayed overnight wanting to get a practice in before me and my mates take on

the tedious task of taking out a whole species, well, their magic anyway.

“Good, you’re doing great, Emery. Actually, you’re doing better than you ever did at

school!” She cackles, “Must be those hottie mates of yours.”

“Oh Goddess, please don’t ever refer to them as my hottie.

mates.” I chuckle.

“Oh, hell no. It’s just that the word hottie sounds so wrong coming out of your mouth.” I

laugh this time.

“I hate to break it to you, Luna, but that word started back in my time, so I’m allowed to

say it anytime I want. You young pups think that just because we are older, or how I like

to refer to aging as, experienced, that we are not allowed to use cer- tain words. Just so

word.”

“Whatevs…”

“See, right there! It’s whatever, not whatevs.” She shakes

her head and I shrug.

“Let’s just agree to disagree.” I chuckle.

“Finally! We at least agree on something.”

“Can I ask you something, Miss Beatrice?”

“You can, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to answer.” She grins.

“Is Colin really your nephew?”

She sighs sadly, “Unfortunately, yes.”

“What happened? Why did you leave? If you don’t mind me asking…”

She chuckles, “There really isn’t much to tell; I didn’t have the same beliefs that my
