Ivy had to drag my ass to school. After what happened with Lucy, the school has been quiet, at least, I was not blamed after the live video, but Lucy’s death was still a mystery to everyone, no one knows why she did it.

We stepped out of the dorm, as we headed to class. Just as we were about to enter the hallways, a shadow flickered above us, and something fell down really fast with a thud.

Ivy and I instinctively jumped back, and on the floor, right in front of us was a dead bird, its neck was twisted at an impossible angle, making it obvious that somebody had killed it and intentionally thrown it down.

“What the hell” I cursed out loud

“That's creepy” Ivy whispered beside me.

We both looked up at the balcony, but there was no one there.

“Is this some kind of sick joke?” Ivy was irritated as she stared at the lifeless bird.

I had a bad sensation about this, and it gave me a foreboding feeling.

We both stepped around the dead bird and walked into the hallway.

  • Alpha Matchmaking System   21. Five days

    “My muscles are sore” Ivy groaned out as she rolled her arm, holding her shoulder. “I just want to have a cold shower” my voice was weak. We were both tired after the strenuous time we had. Instructor Jose had us train for hours with no rest. If I had complained about Professor Lennox's training, then instructor Jose’s training was the worst. We got to our dorm, and as soon as we opened the door, we stopped in our tracks. The sight in front of us was sickening. Ivy and I stepped into the room and I tried not to throw up at the sight. On my bed was a red liquid that looked like blood, and the metallic smell confirmed that it was actually blood. “Lyra look” Ivy pointed to the wall above my bed, and a word was written there in capital letters, which I also guessed was written with blood considering it was also red. DIE. The word echoed in my mind as I stared at it, they were now breaking into my dorm to threaten me, as though getting death threats through my phone was not enou

    The messages had gotten worse, they came at random times, each one more threatening than the last. At first, I deleted them, then I just stopped looking at them altogether. But the words were still haunting me. Regardless of how much I ignored the messages on my phone, the whispers in school were still not helping. I stared at another threat message on my phone, I was tired at this point. “You need to stop looking at those messages, don't let them get to you,” Ivy told me. I sighed, shoving my phone into my bag, as I tugged my cloak tighter around my shoulder. We headed to the training ground for our training lessons. “Did you sleep at all last night?” she asked softly. “A little,” I lied. She gave me a look, “Well you should sleep more, your eye bags are not helping” Before I could reply, the loud, booming voice of our instructor echoed across the training ground “Listen up, everyone” We all turned as Instructor Jose strode to the center, “We’ll be having another duel tod

    I dropped to my knees trembling, as I stared at the sight before me. Lucy was dead. Her body lay motionless on the ground, as people’s muffled voices filled the air. Ivy was suddenly beside me, grabbing my shoulders, and she shook me slightly. “Lyra, hey, look at me.” I looked up at her. Deep down I just had this guilt eating me up, was I the cause of her death? “It’s not your fault,” Ivy tried to reassure me, as though she had read my thoughts. There were sounds of sirens echoing in the air, indicating that the academy’s medical team and security had arrived. The ambulance had arrived within minutes. Professors and guards pushed through the students, as they got to the scene. Professor Lennox was among them, his face was pale as he told everyone to go to their dorms The crowd began to disperse reluctantly. Ivy and I took it as our cue to leave, as we left, I saw as they covered Lucy’s body with a white sheet. When we got back to our dorm, I sat down on my bed feeling overw

    Before I could react, Ivy had already marched forward to meet Zurien. “Let me guess you are here to meet your fling” She scoffed “You know Lyra is in this mess because of you” Zurien did not reply to her and Ivy snapped. “Say something. You are the reason why Lyra was given a strike. Zurien did not flinch, he did not even blink. His hands were in his pockets, as he just stared at her, he was unfazed that she was angry. “Ivy,” I muttered weakly, but I knew she was not done with him. “If you don’t want the match, fine” she continued, her voice rising. “Lyra doesn’t want it either, so do us all a favor and keep your stupid flings away from her” Zurien’s jaw twitched. His eyes flickered briefly toward me, but I ignored him. “Say something,” Ivy demanded. “Are you just….” “Ivy,” I cut in, my voice quiet but firm. She froze mid sentence and turned toward me. “That’s enough,” I said, not looking at Zurien. My voice came out tired, heavier than I intended. “Let’s just go. I am done

  • Alpha Matchmaking System   16. First Strike

    The pungent smell of antiseptic filled the air as Ivy and I walked towards Lucy’s room. My heart hammered as Ivy and I approached the door. I was not sure what I was going to expect, maybe that Lucy would finally tell the truth, maybe that all of this could still be fixed. I pushed the door open, to see Lucy lying on a bed, with her head bandaged, and she looked pale. Beside her was Professor Lennox who was already inside and standing near the bed, his arms were crossed and he had an unreadable expression. Lucy sat upright seeing us. “You came right on time, Miss Lyra,” Professor Lennox said without looking at me. His gaze remained fixed on Lucy. “Miss Lucy has just given her statement. And based on her testimony, your strike remains.” My stomach dropped. “What?” I managed to whisper. “She…. she is lying.” I stepped forward, gripping the edge of Lucy’s bed. “Lucy, please. Tell him the truth. We don’t even know each other. You know I did not touch you.” Professor Lennox’s voice
