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."

"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."
