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.

"Why, afraid I will steal them from you?" The witch asks. deviously.

"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 you know, your generation all sound hideous and lazy when you only use part of a 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?"

sadly, "Unfortunately, yes."
