First Female Alpha Chapter 21 Summoned
Ari’s POVThe summons to the Headmaster’s hall was unpleasantly formal, the kind that makes your stomach crawl and your brain scream “Oh no, trouble is imminent.” Caspian followed me, silent as ever, the quiet sort of quiet that could either mean he was planning something or judging me silently—sometimes both.The hall itself smelled faintly of old stone and incense, the sun slanting through the windows so bright it could have burned your retinas if you weren’t careful. The Headmaster didn’t bother with small talk. He had a way of silencing a room just by being present, which was a skill I simultaneously envied and hated.“All heirs,” he began, voice low but commanding, “we have identified students performing unauthorized magic within the Academy. This behavior violates the rules and cannot be tolerated. Those responsible will face immediate consequences.”I felt a spike of tension. Unauthorized magic? My mind immediately flashed to the intruders from the training ground. The fight,
First Female Alpha Chapter 20 Aftermath
Ari’s POVThe afternoon dragged its feet like it owed me money. I slumped against the cold stone wall of the hallway, trying to make my legs believe they weren’t made of lead. The trial, the accidental kiss, Caspian’s mysterious teleporting, and, of course, the hairpin… my brain refused to stop replaying every single piece of chaos like some sadistic projector.I tried to eat breakfast. I had tried to act normal. I had even, very earnestly, attempted to ignore Caspian altogether. But that was like trying not to breathe—utterly impossible. The way he looked at me across the dining hall, quiet, unreadable, almost waiting… it drove me up the wall. And now, he wasn’t even in the hallway. Gone. Probably doing something unnervingly responsible. I didn’t trust that.I fingered the hairpin hidden in my pocket, the Stormborne crest glinting faintly in the sunlight spilling through the windows. A gift, apparently, from Caspian to someone named Riven. Or maybe not. Maybe the whole thing was a
First Female Alpha Chapter 19 The hairpin
Caspian’s POVThe afternoon sun slanted through the Academy’s tall windows, sharp and almost accusatory, as if it knew exactly how terrible my life choices had been up to this point. I should’ve been enjoying the calm after the chaos of last night’s trial, basking in the sweet relief of wards stabilized and students alive. Instead, my thoughts had latched onto one thing and one thing only: the hairpin.That blasted hairpin.I remembered clearly giving it to Riven as a gift last month, a token of appreciation for being competent, loyal, and not completely insufferable. Stormborne House prized loyalty above all else, and I had thought, in my infinite wisdom, that Riven deserved a little recognition. I never imagined that this tiny piece of metal could end up causing chaos for Ari—or worse, raising suspicions about me.Now, every time I thought about it, my stomach twisted. I had to confront Riven before this snowballed into something catastrophic. Ari already had suspicions. Ari’s suspi
First Female Alpha Chapter 18 Thoughts
Ari’s POVMorning came with all the subtlety of a trebuchet to the forehead. My head throbbed in a way that made me question every life choice that had ever led me to this cursed Academy. The sky was pale and yawning, streaked with orange, but I couldn’t summon the energy to appreciate it. Caspian’s bed was empty, which immediately set off a series of catastrophic scenarios in my mind.Did he run off with the intruders while I was sleeping? Probably not, that would be insane. Did he just leave me here like a common dorm plebe to get breakfast? Very likely. Either way, rude.I reached over and checked under my pillow where the Stormborne hairpin had been hiding. Still there. Secure. My lifeline, my only evidence that something bigger was going on. I carefully tucked it deeper into the folds of my sleeve, just in case the notorious Stormborne charm police decided to inspect dorms at random.Dragging myself out of bed was a slow-motion affair. My legs protested like they had been forged
First Female Alpha Chapter 17 Awkwardness
Ari’s POVThe trial ended just as the sky outside was bleeding from black into gray. Nobody said a word when the headmaster dismissed us; we just scattered like survivors of a shipwreck. My legs carried me back to the dorm with Caspian at my side, though neither of us spoke. The silence wasn’t comfortable, and it wasn’t angry either—it was that weird middle ground where your brain is still replaying everything at high speed and your mouth hasn’t caught up.I was busy telling myself not to think about the kiss. Which, of course, meant that’s all I could think about. His mouth, the way my stupid body reacted before my brain could scream “bad idea,” and the fact that Caspian Stormborne of all people was now imprinted on my nervous system.But no. Absolutely not. If my life depended on it, I was never going to replay that scene in my head again. Ever.We’d barely gotten into the room when Caspian finally opened his mouth. His voice was so abrupt, I almost dropped my boots.“In case you s
First Female Alpha Chapter 16 – Trial by Fire
Caspian’s POVI regretted it the second I blinked back into my room. Teleporting was supposed to be my great escape move, my way of staying untouchable. But this time? Stupid. Absolutely stupid. I should’ve stayed just a second longer, long enough for Ari to catch sight of me. Then at least he’d know I wasn’t sneaking around like some shady intruder in the middle of the night. Now, instead, I’d left the impression of a guilty man bolting from the crime scene. Genius, Caspian. Real genius.And the worst part? I couldn’t stop replaying it in my head. Ari out there, sharp-eyed and suspicious, probably putting two and two together. I’d just gifted him every reason to think I was hiding something. Me, the great Caspian Duskbane, reduced to looking like a thief tiptoeing through his own Academy.I was still pacing the floor, chewing on that mistake, when the dorm door creaked. Ari walked in.I froze.For half a second, my brain blanked out. I wanted to casually ask, “Hey, so, uh… what happe
