Chapter 30

Thane's POV

I walked round the academy with Lincoln and the rest of the squad by my side. We were making plans, and as the leader of the planning, I already put the Alphas in training somewhere else.

It might be selfish to want all the attention to myself, but right now, that might be the best for me. We connected with the remaining Alphas in training, and they all circled round me.

“So, we have the basketball court ready now.” I said. “And a podium has been set at the football field for the King to sit with the important officials.”

“What about the talent show?” One of them asked.

“That's also running already. That's tomorrow, so we just have to send acceptance mails. We can't spend too much time planning because he's not staying for long according to what he told me.” I said, and they all looked jealous, except my squad. They were all just proud of me.

“What did it feel like speaking with the King?” Someone asked.

“Surreal and Enlightening.” I winked at him.

“Moving on to the next thing which is the feeding for the royals, I'll have to see Alpha Harry on that.” I said, checking my book and my watch time.

“The talent show starts this evening, so let everyone get ready. I hope the school band is ready also?” I asked.

“Yeah. I already got them functioning.” Lincoln said with a smirk that definitely insinuated that he didn't do anything legal.

“Okay then, I have to see Alpha Harry now.” I said, walking out of their presence. Lincoln followed behind me.

“What do I do now?” Hevasked, and I shook my head.

“Just make sure everyone stays in line. Nothing too difficult, but very easy.” I said, and he stopped walking behind me.

I walked very fast, but still maintained a calm composure whilst walking through the hallways. The twists and turns were getting too much. My mind strayed to Seth, and how he had kicked me in the nuts. I hissed, now approaching Alpha Harry's office. I should really get a hold of him so I can ask my questions.

I knocked on Alpha Harry's door.

“You can come in.” Someone else's voice, almost sounding like Seth's, instructed.

I gently opened the door, only to see Seth standing by the door, and Alpha Harry was fuming behind his chair. His chest was also heaving like he had just run a miles race.

“Alpha Harry, I'm sorry to… disturb you…” I muttered, looking at Seth again before looking at him. Seth looked purely disgusted. His face couldn't wrinkle, but his eyebrows were curved, and his eyes were constantly rolling. Alpha Harry looked angry.

“What is it that you want, Thane?” Alpha Harry said, and Seth made a move to leave.

“Erm… I…”

“Seth? Stay back!” Alpha Harry said with an assertive tone.

“Sir, I've been here for over ten minutes, and you've still not said what it is that you want with me.” Seth hissed, unbothered about speaking to an Alpha in such a manner. “I have classes to attend, and several things to do. Kindly tell me what it is that you want.”

“Wait here till I'm done with Thane…” He growled.

“Erm… I can leave so you finish with him.” I stuttered, unsure about what was happening.

“No.” He responded. “Speak.”

“Okay… erm… I…” I was very uncomfortable. “I wanted to ask about the feeding plan for the King and other officials during the events?”

“Don't worry about that. Registrar John already has it covered.” He said, and I nodded gently.

“Okay sir.” I muttered. “Thank you so much.”

“You can leave.” He said.

“Registrar John asked after you.” I said, turning to look at Seth. “Go to him once you're done here.”

“Oh, I will.” He scoffed, nodding his head with so much attitude. No guy ever has that much attitude.

I walked outside, and stayed in a free corner, waiting for Seth to walk by so I could finish up with my plan. I had lied about the registrar wanting to see him.

Seth walked by almost a minute later. I hurriedly grabbed his hand and pulled him into the corner.

“You again?” Seth hissed.

“Yeah!” I growled. “Me again!”

“How are you balls?”

“Fine! No thanks to you.” I hissed, making sure I stood in the way of his escape. “What happened in that office?”

Seth scoffed, “you wouldn't believe me if I tell you.”

“Try me first.” I tried convincing him.

“No.” Seth said stubbornly. I folded my arms, as he tried to walk past me.

“I know you're an impostor.” I said, and Seth stopped walking immediately.

“Erm… what?” Seth asked.

“Yeah. I have pictures of the real Seth and his family.”

“What do you mean?” Seth asked, looking really flustered.

“You mentioned never being in the North,” I said, walking closer to Seth, “well, turns out that Seth and his family have vacations there all the fucking time.”

“Wha… what… that's… that's… that's a lie.” Seth stuttered.

“I know it's not.” I said, walking closer to him. I stopped about three inches away when his back touched the wall. “I wouldn't try to feel you because we're in public, and there are cameras all around, but you should know that I'll figure it out.”

“I'll find out who you are and what you're hiding, but it'll be better if you just tell me.” I said, lowering my head to his neck. “I always figure it out.”

Seth was glued to the wall and couldn't really do anything. He looked at me with widened eyes, and I could only smirk.

“Are you… erm…” He swallowed, looking at me, “are you going to go to someone with something so fake?”

That was probably more confirmation, given the way his breath trembled.

“That depends.” I shrugged.

The confirmation is all I need to have.

I walked away from where he stood.

“Oh, and erm…” I turned back for a moment, looking at the traumatised Seth. “Registrar John wasn't asking to see you.” I said, smirking as I walked away.

I felt so sigma. Maybe I'm on to something.
