Larkin College: The Alpha's Catastrophe Parents Must Be Informed
The crowd remained gathered around the courtyard long after the actual confrontation ended. This, Mara reflected, was one of humanity's more confusing habits.People always claimed to dislike drama, yet the moment drama appeared, they gathered around it with the enthusiasm of tourists discovering a famous landmark.Joel Rutledge, meanwhile, looked like a man personally offended by the existence of gravity. The fact that he had ended up on the pavement continued to haunt him visibly Mara almost admired the commitment. "You tripped me." Joel sounded less like someone making an accusation and more like someone attempting to negotiate with reality. Mara adjusted the books in her arms."No, I didn't.""You absolutely did.""You reached for my books.""You twisted my arm.""I moved."Several students laughed again. Joel's expression darkened immediately. Mara was beginning to understand the problem. Joel wasn't accustomed to losing. Not arguments, not attention, not status and certainly no
Larkin College: The Alpha's Catastrophe The Lesson Apparently
By the following morning, Mara had become aware of two important facts. The first was that somebody had recorded part of her conversation with Joel Rutledge. The second was that the recording had apparently spread across campus with the speed and efficiency of a contagious disease.She discovered this when a complete stranger passed her on the walkway between buildings and whispered.."Strongest quality."His friend immediately started laughing. Mara stopped walking. The two students accelerated like frightened gazelles."What was that?" Nora asked."I have no idea."Nora looked unconvinced. "Mara.""I genuinely don't."Nora held up her phone. Unfortunately, the answer appeared immediately. Someone had uploaded a video from the cafeteria. Not the entire conversation. Just the ending. Specifically the part where Mara informed Joel that knowing nothing about him remained his strongest quality.The video had accumulated an alarming number of views. Mara stared at the screen. Then sighed.
Larkin College: The Alpha's Catastrophe Some People Need Hobbies
By lunchtime, Mara had completely forgotten about Joel Rutledge. This was partly because she had classes. Partly because she had assignments. And partly because she considered rich boys with superiority complexes to be a naturally renewable resource.There was simply no practical reason to spend additional energy thinking about one specific specimen. Unfortunately, Joel Rutledge appeared determined to prove her wrong. Mara discovered this while standing in line at the student cafe.The building sat near the eastern side of campus and catered primarily to students who preferred coffee strong enough to resurrect the dead. Naturally, Mara loved it. She had just received her drink and a sandwich when a familiar voice appeared behind her."You're difficult to find." Mara closed her eyes briefly. "That's disappointing."The voice laughed as she turned slowly. Joel stood there looking entirely too pleased with himself. Several students occupied nearby tables. Most were now pretending not to w
Larkin College: The Alpha's Catastrophe The Heir Arrives
Mara had developed a simple rule during her time at Larkin College. Whenever a day began peacefully, it was usually preparing to become somebody else's problem. Unfortunately, that somebody was often her.The realization arrived while she was walking across the central courtyard carrying a stack of books and a cup of coffee she had acquired through entirely legitimate means.The snow from earlier in the week had begun melting beneath a rare stretch of winter sunlight. Students moved between buildings in thick coats while conversations drifted across the pathways in scattered waves. For once, the campus felt almost normal. Which should have warned her.Beside her, Nora adjusted the strap of her bag and frowned at the schedule on her phone. "I still think the retreat is a terrible idea." Mara nodded immediately. "Thank you." "I didn't say I agreed with your theory that we're all being transported into the mountain
Larkin College: The Alpha's Catastrophe A Story Reaches The Wrong Person
Joel Rutledge had attended exactly four classes this month, which he personally believed demonstrated admirable commitment to higher education. Unfortunately, nobody else seemed willing to appreciate his efforts."You are failing economics." Joel glanced up from his phone long enough to acknowledge the accusation before returning his attention to the football match currently occupying his screen. "Economics is failing me," he replied.His friend Carter stood near the entrance to the penthouse living room holding a tablet and the expression of a man who had spent years attempting to solve an impossible problem. "That isn't how education works." "Then education should consider improving itself." Carter sighed. The sound carried the exhaustion of somebody who had been having the same argument for several years.Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, snow drifted slowly across the city skyline. Inside, the penthouse
Larkin College: The Alpha's Catastrophe The Sound of Something Changing
The library had gone strangely quiet. Not ordinary quiet or academic quiet but witness quiet. Mara noticed it immediately after Alaric laughed. Heads had turned. Students lingering between shelves now looked deeply confused, like they had just watched a cathedral wink.Even Dave stared openly for a second before recovering. “Well,” he said slowly, “that was horrifyingly human.” Alaric’s expression settled back into calm almost instantly. But Mara still felt the echo of it somewhere beneath her ribs. Which felt unfair frankly. “You can laugh,” she accused. “I was unaware it required permission.” “That depends. Are you planning to do it again unexpectedly?”A faint but extremely dangerous glimmer returned briefly to his eyes. Dave leaned back in his chair dramatically. “I can’t decide what’s weirder. Mara flirting accidentally or Arden developing emotions in real time.” Mara nearly threw a pencil at him. “I am not flirting.” “You compare
