تسجيل الدخولALEXANDRIAMy first instinct was to hide. I immediately grabbed the blanket and pulled it over myself with whatever strength I had left. My trembling fingers clutched the fabric tightly, shielding my face, my body—shielding me from him.But it lasted barely a second.The blanket was suddenly ripped away from me and tossed carelessly to the side. I sucked in a sharp breath.Wyatt stood beside the bed, towering over me, his chest rising and falling heavily like he was barely holding himself together. His dark eyes locked onto mine with terrifying intensity.Not anger. I could recognize it clearly—possession. He lifted his hand slightly. I flinched at the sight.“Don’t—”Nurse Fleur’s voice cut through the room sharply, making him turn to her. “Don’t hurt her, Wyatt.”My pulse thundered in my ears.I couldn’t see his expression from where I lay, and somehow, that made everything worse. Fear clawed at my chest as horrible thoughts spiraled through my head.Was this it? Was he finally go
ALEXANDRIAI was getting worse by the minute.The suppressants were barely working anymore. If anything, they only delayed the inevitable, buying me seconds of relief before another brutal wave of heat crashed through my body again.And I knew. I knew it was only going to intensify as the day went on.Fuck.I needed to get out of the academy. Fast.With trembling hands, I grabbed another suppressant spray from my bag and practically drenched myself in it. Still, it wasn’t enough. My body burned beneath it.I quickly swallowed another handful of tablet suppressants despite knowing I was already pushing my limit. My throat ached from taking too many without water, but I didn’t care.I couldn’t risk losing control here. Not inside Alpha Academy. Not around hundreds of Alphas.I leaned against the sink for several seconds, trying to steady my breathing before forcing myself out of the dormitory.Fortunately, the hallways were mostly empty. Classes had already started. But even without stu
ALEXANDRIA“What’s going to happen now?”“This is the first time Alpha Fest has ever been delayed.”“Did someone really die?”Whispers followed us everywhere.The moment we were escorted back to the academy grounds, the entire atmosphere had changed. Apprehension and disappointment spread through the halls like wildfire, infecting every conversation and every nervous glance exchanged between students.I walked through the crowded hallways silently, ignoring the stares lingering on me and Wyatt. The scent of blood still clung faintly to my clothes no matter how hard I tried to ignore it.The image of the corpses flashed in my mind again. I clenched my fists.Beside me, Wyatt remained unusually quiet.Actually…Now that I thought about it, he had stayed beside me ever since we left the forest.The realization made me glance sideways at him.He noticed immediately.His brows furrowed slightly. “You alright?”I quickly looked away.“I’m fine,” I muttered.And technically, that wasn’t a li
ALEXANDRIAWe both stilled inside the cave. The scream outside had vanished too quickly. For one heavy second, silence swallowed everything. Wyatt’s grip on my wrist loosened slightly, but neither of us moved.Then, a sickening sound tore through the forest.A wet splatter followed immediately after.Wyatt’s eyes snapped toward the cave entrance. Mine did too.Another sound echoed outside. A body hitting the ground.We looked at each other for a second before instinct took over. Wyatt moved first, shoving himself upright while I followed close behind him.The moment we stepped out of the cave, the metallic stench of blood slammed into me. It was fresh and strong. The scent coated the air so heavily it became difficult to breathe.Wyatt’s expression darkened instantly. Without a word, we followed the trail deeper into the trees, moving cautiously through the shadows. Dead leaves crunched beneath our feet while distant growls and shouting continued elsewhere in the forest.The hunt was
ALEXANDRIAThe gunshot tore through the forest, echoing endlessly between the trees.For a brief second, everything went still. Then the world exploded into motion.Bodies lunged forward all at once—some remaining in human form, others shifting mid-stride as bones snapped and fur rippled across skin. The ground trembled under the force of it. Branches cracked, leaves scattered, and the darkness of the forest swallowed us whole.My hand instinctively pressed against my pocket, where the bright yellow clear stone rested. Even through the fabric, I could feel its presence, a quiet pulse against my thigh.I had insisted on keeping it. Despite their doubts and hesitation, I held my ground. Fortunately, in the end, they trusted me with the task. We had been deployed separately, scattered across different sections of the forest, forced to regroup while avoiding capture. I had made the decision to divide our team further. It was risky, but staying together would only make us an easier targe
ALEXANDRIA For a group of Alphas hailed as the strongest in the academy, James and Chad looked ridiculous.They were in the middle of the stream, playing chicken like overgrown children. Zeus sat high on Chad’s shoulders, gripping his head for balance, while Wesley steadied himself atop James. Water splashed wildly around them as they lunged and shoved, trying to knock the other pair off.Chad’s laughter echoed through the clearing, utterly shameless. James, on the other hand, remained quiet as ever, his expression barely changing even as Wesley nearly slipped off his shoulders.I stayed near the far edge of the stream, fully-submerged and very much regretting every decision that had led me here. My mind raced for an escape plan—one that didn’t involve exposing myself to a group of men who seemed to have no concept of boundaries.Thankfully, I still had my panties on. Small mercies.“Fuck, are you a bunch of children?” Damon’s voice cut through the chaos, irritation thick in his tone
