Yorick is expelled and Hacker and Hijack are fighting over Sphinx. Lots going on...
Cyra“It didn’t take you long to find a replacement for poor Yorick, did it, Cyra?” Megan asks with a sneer as she walks up to the table.Her hand snakes out, reaching for Hacker’s note. I fork slams down on the note, just missing Megan’s hand.“Careful, Megan. That’s a good way to lose your fingers,” Piper growls.“You’re a fucking bitch,” Megan growls at her.“Don’t be jealous just because I’m getting fucked by a hot guy and no one wants to touch your skanky pussy,” Piper says, sneering at her.I’m not the only one who snorts, trying to hold back a laugh.Megan growls and turns, stomping away.“You’re so fucking hot,” Zach tells her as we watch Megan go. Piper has just pulled the fork out of the table when all hell breaks loose. What looks like a SWAT team blasts through the doors of the dining hall, carrying guns and wearing bullet proof vests.We all stand, ready to fight if this is an attack.“Who the hell are they?” I murmur.“They’re you in a couple of years,” Tracker says, mat
CyraTwenty million dollars. My father sold me out for twenty million dollars.“At least I’m not cheap,” I murmur.I feel Piper’s arm come around me. “Try to eat something. You know Yorick will ask if you ate when you talk to him later,” she says softly.I nod. I know he will.“Hijack said he has some ideas and Yorick said he has some ideas too. Remember, you’re not alone anymore, Cyra. You have people who love you and people who are willing to fight for you,” Landon says.“Apparently you have a lot of them. I don’t know how many people there are in Yorick’s family, but if Wendy is any indication, they are a passionate bunch,” Zach says.I smile, thinking of Wendy’s commitment to fight for me. “That was very sweet of her, but I’m sure her parents wouldn’t let her fight in any kind of battle. She’s not eighteen yet,” I say.“She’s an Alpha female and based on the little of her that I saw, she’s ripped. If she’s applying for the Academy next year, she’ll be a lot like Yorick, meaning sh
Yorick‘Hey, where are you?’ Wendy’s asks in mind link. I’ve just spent the last couple of hours going over what’s been happening at the Academy with Connor, Quirin, and Henry. They’re ready to go straight to the Board and the Council, but I told them to wait.‘My room. I'm about to get on a call with the Academy’s IT team. You want to join me?’ I ask. She’s done a lot of the prep work that has helped me get the information that I needed. If she wants to see where this is going, I’ll let her.‘On my way,’ she says and a moment later there’s a knock at my door.“Come in, Wendy,” I say as I dial into the meeting that Hacker sent me earlier. I turn making sure it’s her before turning back to my computer.“Who’s Alpha Lane?” I ask.“Henry really said something about him?”“Sure did. You can expect Connor to ask about him later.”“Ridiculous,” she murmurs.“You dating this guy?” I ask, turning to her as I wait to be accepted into the meeting.“No, it’s not like that.”“Be careful, I know s
Wendy“Alpha Henry! What are you doing here?” I ask. My heart does that little flutter thing it always does when I see Henry. This time, though, it’s not as strong as it usually is. Maybe Yorrie was right. I needed something to distract me from my infatuation with Alpha Henry, and boy have I found it. Or more accurately, I’ve found them. Plural. More than one distraction.Yorick arrived home earlier. Since I knew he’d been kicked out, I waited for him. He’d hugged me quickly, then gone straight to Connor’s office where he’s been holed up all afternoon.“I heard about Yorick. I’m here to see what I can do. Some hacker kid is supposed to be calling later with some information.”My phone rings and I pull it out of my pocket. When I see an unknown number, I send it to voicemail.“They’re in ...” I begin and my phone starts ringing again.I look at the screen and see the same unknown number. I frown and send it to voicemail again before looking back at Henry.“Someone wants to talk to you,
CyraI can’t breathe. I swear Alpha Leo kept us late in class just so I wouldn’t be able to say goodbye to Yorick. I raced to his room, throwing the door open, only to see everything gone.“It’s going to be okay, Cyra,” Piper says, a moment before her arm goes around me.“How? How is it going to be okay?”It feels like my entire world is about to collapse. He’s gone. He’s gone and I didn’t even get to say goodbye. What if I never see him again?“Come on, Aphrodite. It’s Friday. We have the entire weekend to figure things out. By the time we get done with classes today, Shakespeare will be home and you can talk to him,” Zach says.“I need to call him now,” I say, turning to go to my room. When I step in, I smell him. I look around and see his shirt and a note lying on my bed. I race to it, quickly picking up the note and reading it.I grab the shirt while I read, taking a deep breath of his scent. The scent is so strong that I’m sure it’s the one he was wearing this morning.“What did h
YorickI’ve been kicked out of Sparring class four times this week for no reason other than Alpha Leo is targeting me. Each time I’ve gotten angrier about it. I went to Alpha Nevaeh’s office to speak with her but when I arrived, there was a lot of shouting behind closed doors, so I left.I’m hoping I’ll get a chance to speak with her later today, since it’s Friday. Otherwise, I’ll have to wait until Monday.More and more I’m convinced that Stellan is paying him to get rid of me. It’s the only thing that makes sense. He didn’t like me before, but since last weekend when I beat the shit out of Stellan, Alpha Leo has been all over me, ejecting me from class without a good reason.This morning starts just the same as the others, with Warrior Cammie assigning me and Piper as partners, but Alpha Leo steps in almost immediately to put me against Megan’s other cronie, Helena.Alpha Nevaeh tries to step in, but Alpha Leo snarls at her.“I am in charge here. Not you. If you don’t like it, you ca
