THE ALPHA ACADEMY: THE REJECTED HEIR OLD BOOKS, OLDER SECRETS
Lira read the note three times before her hands finally stopped shaking enough to fold it closed again.We know what you are. Leave the Academy before the truth finds you first.No signature. No further explanation. Just those two lines, pressed into fine parchment with a hand that had clearly taken care over the wording, and a wax seal bearing a howling wolf crest she did not recognize, though something about its shape sat uneasily familiar in her memory, close enough to the pendant found near the ruins that her stomach twisted every time she looked at it.She did not sleep again that morning. She sat on the edge of her narrow bed until the servants' wing stirred fully awake around her, turning the note over and over in her hands as though enough repetition might reveal something new, some clue about who had left it or how they had known enough to leave it at all.She debated, for most of the day, whether to tell anyone. Professor Ashgrove's warning echoed constantly in the back of h
THE ALPHA ACADEMY: THE REJECTED HEIR THE LEGEND OF THE FIRST ALPHA
Sleep did not come easily that night, and when it finally did, it came tangled with fragments Lira could not fully separate from memory.She woke before dawn, heart still racing from dreams she could not entirely recall, and lay still in the darkness of her narrow room turning Professor Ashgrove's words over and over until they wore smooth grooves into her thoughts. You will become a target. She had spent eleven years learning how to survive being overlooked. She had no idea, none at all, how to survive being seen this way instead, not by cruel golden eyed girls looking for easy amusement, but by an entire kingdom whose legitimacy might depend on her not existing.She rose before her usual hour and made her way, quietly, back toward the archive wing, drawn by a need to understand more fully what she was only beginning to grasp the edges of.Professor Ashgrove was already awake when Lira arrived, seated at a long table surrounded by open texts, looking as though she had not slept at al
THE ALPHA ACADEMY: THE REJECTED HEIR A PROFESSOR'S SUSPICION
The pendant became the talk of the Academy within a single day, passed from hand to hand among the ruling Houses' scholars before finally landing, under heavy guard, in the care of the Academy's oldest archivist.Professor Miriel Ashgrove had served the Academy longer than most of the current ruling Houses had held their thrones, a small, sharp eyed woman whose reputation for meticulous, unforgiving scholarship made even Crown Princes choose their words carefully in her presence. She kept to the deepest archive halls, surrounded by texts most students never bothered reading, and rarely appeared at court gatherings unless summoned directly.She was summoned now.Lira learned all this secondhand, delivered in breathless fragments by Wren and Petra over the following days, though she found herself, increasingly, unable to shake the feeling that whatever conclusions Professor Ashgrove reached in that archive hall would matter to her personally far more than mere gossip usually did.She go
THE ALPHA ACADEMY: THE REJECTED HEIR THE WOLVES THAT WOULDN'T LOOK AWAY
Lira did not know how long she stood frozen at the edge of the ruins, staring into those ancient golden eyes, before instinct finally overrode whatever strange spell had rooted her feet to the ground.She stumbled backward, breath catching hard in her throat, and the creature shifted at last, a slow, deliberate movement that somehow felt more unsettling than if it had simply lunged. It watched her retreat with an unhurried patience that made her skin crawl, golden eyes tracking her every motion without a trace of the wild aggression she might have expected from something the border patrol had spent an entire night failing to capture."Stay back," she whispered, though she wasn't entirely certain whether she was speaking to the creature or to herself.It tilted its head slightly, an almost curious gesture, entirely too intelligent for something the trackers had described as feral or dangerous. Then, as quickly as it had appeared, it melted back into the shadows of the tree line and was
THE ALPHA ACADEMY: THE REJECTED HEIR SOMETHING IN THE WOODS
By the time Lira reached the servants' common room, half the wing was already awake, huddled together in various states of undress, whispering urgently about whatever had happened beyond the main gates."A breach," Bricks said grimly, pulling on his boots by the light of a single lantern. "Something got through the outer wards during the night. Wolves went out hunting it, but from the sound of things, whatever it was, it wasn't ordinary.""Wasn't ordinary how?" Lira asked, pulling her own shawl tighter around her shoulders against the pre dawn chill."Big," Bricks said simply. "Bigger than any wolf has business being. And fast. Tore through half the eastern tree line before the border patrol even caught its scent properly."Wren appeared beside her, pale and wide eyed, clutching a blanket around herself despite the relative warmth of the common room. "Do you think it's dangerous? Do you think it's still out there?"Nobody had an answer for that, and the not knowing sat heavy and cold
THE ALPHA ACADEMY: THE REJECTED HEIR THE CALM BEFORE
The days following the trials settled into something almost peaceful, which frightened Lira more than open hostility ever could have.No one spoke openly of the marker's strange glow on the observation platform. The judges had dismissed it as a flaw in old stone, a ritual malfunctioning after centuries of use, and most of the Academy seemed content to accept that explanation and move on to more interesting gossip. Yvaine Cross had found new targets for her cruelty. The visiting nobles had new rankings to argue over. Life, for everyone else, simply continued.For Lira, though, the quiet felt like something held carefully in place, a held breath waiting to be released.She threw herself into her duties with a kind of deliberate focus, hoping the routine might quiet the strange hum that had settled permanently beneath her skin since the trials. Tea trays delivered precisely on schedule. Linens replaced without a single wrinkle. Meals prepared and served exactly as Petra had trained her,
