Chapter 32_The False Confession

Neris's POV

"That's not true."

My own voice sounds far away, distant, like it belongs to someone standing outside my body watching this happen to me instead of living it directly.

"Isn't it?" Ysolde holds the document higher, angling it so the nearest instructors can see the official Council seal stamped across its header. "The signature belongs to the field commander who led the containment operation. The classification matches exactly. Explain to me how this is fabricated."

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 40: The Choice

    Neris's POV"You could leave. Tonight."Lucien says it quietly, watching me across the wreckage-strewn courtyard where students are still being counted, still being treated for injuries, the academy behind us reduced to smoking ruins and cracked stone."What do you mean, leave?""I mean exactly that." He gestures toward the tree line beyond the collapsed perimeter wall, dark and open and, for the first time in weeks, essentially unguarded. "Kessel's people are regrouping. Vashti's forces are still hours out, delayed by whatever chaos the chamber's activation caused across the surrounding territories. For perhaps the next few hours, nobody is actively watching this exact stretch of forest.""You're suggesting I run.""I'm suggesting you have an option you haven't fully considered." His voice stays careful, measured. "Disappear. Change your name again. Live somewhere no one thinks to search for a bloodline everyone already believes destroyed twice over. You could have an ordinary life,

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 39_The Truth About My Blood

    Neris's POV"Your father wasn't ordinary either."Lucien says it carefully, spreading a second set of documents across the table beside the containment log Ysolde gave me hours ago, his exhaustion visible but his focus unwavering despite everything else the night has cost all of us."What do you mean, ordinary?" I ask. "I thought this was entirely about my mother's bloodline.""So did I, until I cross-referenced his name against genealogical records I hadn't thought to check before." He taps a faded page, a family tree branching backward through generations I don't recognize. "Your father's name appears in records connected to something called the Virel line. Another bloodline predating the current territorial system, though considerably less discussed in academy history than Kaelith.""Less discussed how?""Kaelith was the founding vessel of Alpha authority, the source every current bloodline claims descent from, however diluted that claim actually is," Cassian says, joining us, exha

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 38_My Sister

    Neris's POV"You need to stop moving your leg. It's not going to heal properly if you keep testing it every five minutes."Ysolde ignores me, wincing as she shifts against the makeshift bandage Lucien wrapped around her calf twenty minutes ago, the academy still smoldering behind us in pieces too large to fully process yet."I'm fine.""You're not fine. You nearly lost that leg to a support column an hour ago." I sit down beside her on the cold grass, exhaustion finally catching up with every muscle in my body now that the immediate crisis of collapsing buildings has, temporarily, subsided. "Stop being stubborn for exactly one evening."Something almost like a laugh escapes her, thin and pained. "You sound like you actually care whether I heal correctly.""I do care. I've told you that twice tonight already.""I know." She stares out at the wreckage, firelight flickering across features I've spent twelve years learning to read for cruelty and calculation, finding instead something raw

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 37_The Academy Falls

    Neris's POV"The east dormitory's ceiling just came down!"A student sprints past us, blood streaking one side of her face, and behind her the entire wing of the academy groans like something dying, stone splitting along fault lines that shouldn't exist in architecture built to last centuries."There are still people in there," I say, already turning back toward the collapsing building."Neris, we need to get you clear of the grounds entirely," Cassian says, grabbing my arm. "Kessel wants you here, in the middle of this chaos, exactly where his people can find you again.""I don't care what Kessel wants." I pull free, meeting his eyes with a certainty I don't remember feeling before tonight. "There are students trapped in a building that's falling apart because of something I apparently helped trigger. I'm not running while they burn."Something in Cassian's expression shifts, frustration giving way to something that looks almost like recognition. "Then we're not running either."The

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 36_I Refuse

    Neris's POV"No."The word leaves me before Kessel has taken more than three steps toward the door, and something in my voice makes even his unhurried pace falter.He turns slowly, an eyebrow raised, as though a piece of furniture has just spoken out of turn. "Excuse me?""I said no." I straighten, my wolf pressing forward not in panic this time, but in something steadier, sharper, an answer I'm choosing instead of one that's choosing me. "I don't belong to you. I never did. You don't get to spend sixteen years manipulating my survival and then walk in here and claim ownership like I'm an investment finally maturing.""That's a bold declaration for someone who doesn't yet understand what she's capable of.""I understand exactly what I'm capable of. I just haven't decided yet what I'm willing to become for anyone else's ambitions." I take a step toward him, and I feel Cassian shift beside me, tension coiling through the room. "You didn't save me out of decency. You saved me the way som

  • The Girl the Alpha Academy Couldn't Break   Chapter 35_The Man Behind Everything

    Neris's POV"Kessel."Cassian says the name the moment the doors to the assembly hall open, and something in his tone tells me exactly how much weight that single word is carrying.The man who steps through is unremarkable at first glance — unremarkable the way genuinely dangerous people often are, silver-haired, unhurried, dressed in the kind of understated finery that says power without needing to announce it. He walks with two guards flanking him, though something in his posture suggests he's never actually needed protection in his life."You know him," I say quietly."Former head of the Bloodline Oversight division," Lucien says, voice tight. "Removed from his post sixteen years ago. Officially retired due to health concerns.""That's the same story Cassian's father got," I say slowly."Yes," Cassian confirms grimly. "I begin to suspect it's the only excuse this Council ever uses."Kessel stops a measured distance away, studying the ruined arena behind us, the collapsed ceiling, t
