Semua Bab I Am The Alpha: Bab 101 - Bab 110

“Both of you, sit! Now!” The grumpy grey-haired man, Mr. Blackwood boomed as he shoved Becca and me into the chemistry lab.Our steps echoed in the near-empty room as the door shut behind us. I threw him a sharp scowl fighting every urge in me to bare my teeth at him.“You’ll all write an essay about the consequences of engaging in violent activities on school grounds, a no-claw zone,” He rambled, going on to write the topic on the whiteboard.Ignoring him, I swept my gaze across the room for where to sit, tugging my dusty bag closer to my body. My eyes met a familiar blue pair and they glared at the bemused silhouette.Side-glancing at Becca, I watched her and her calm demeanor stroll through a path to a seat. It was upsetting to see her so collected. My noses flared hot and my knuckles itched for another swing.But it wasn’t the time nor the place and no longer the way to get the answers I wanted. I inhaled and exhaled out my frustrations.“Didn't peg you for the detention type,” Kh

HIGAN SINCLAIR’S POVHIGAN SINCLAIRI am startled awake with a shudder that vibrates through my entire body. My spine ached like I’d been yanked up by a burning silver chain and I felt just as heavy.My breath clawed at my throat. My nightshirt clung to me like a wanna-be second skin, dampened and strangling. My sheets tangled around my legs twisted like vines from some fever dream jungle I couldn’t escape.And yet, her face persistently played behind my eyelids.Harlyn Sage.Her name felt like beach sand in my mouth. Harlyn was familiar in the way scars are familiar. They remain a part of you but unwelcome.With a low growl, I pushed both hands through my hair, dragging sweat-soaked strands back until my scalp stung. I sat in the dark of my bedroom for a moment, trying to settle in the frosty stillness as the thundering of my pulse echoed between my ribs.She killed me. Not in some metaphorical, heartstring-tugging bullshit way and definitely not in some past-regret, maybe-I-shouldn’

Breaking into someone’s house at midnight wasn’t exactly a hobby of mine. But I couldn’t continue to stand by and watch Becca be her dubious self and not do anything about it. I wasn’t going to develop cold feet either. It was either now or never. It took a miracle to escape Ethan’s relentless surveillance.The window on the side of Becca’s house slid up without resistance, as if it had been left that way for someone else. Or maybe for me. I told myself it was just luck. I told myself a lot of things as I slid my body over the sill and landed softly on the polished wooden floors.There was no sense of comfort in the silence inside the house, it was clinical.Clean lines, sharp edges, everything in its place, but no soul. The house was dimly lit by the moon outside, silver beams cutting across bare walls and minimalist furniture like prison bars. There were no cushions tossed carelessly on the sofa, no books half-read on the table, no shoes at the door, and no scent of someone who live

“Harlyn! What in the hell do you think you are doing here?” Ethan exploded, his voice booming in the sterile silence of the house. “Alone at that? Are you seriously out of your mind?” My chest tightened. I knew I wasn’t supposed to come here. I knew this would upset him. Hell, I didn’t even know what I expected to find, only that questions were burning a hole through me and I just needed answers. He advanced, his hands clenched to his sides. I knew that look. It was a look of someone desperately trying to keep control. I had pushed him too far this time. “You think it’s smart to be here alone? Here of all places? Do you have any idea what could have happened?” he scolded. I breathed trying to calm my racing heart. “I’m literally standing here,” I said flatly. “Nothing happened.” He cracked a laugh that’s anything but amused. “You think because nothing happened, that makes it fine? Do you understand how reckless that was? You didn’t even tell me.” “I didn’t know I needed y

It started the same way it always did, with a fog.Thick and cold, like it had a mind of its own, coiling around my ankles and swallowing everything in sight. The world was dark and soundless, except for the quiet rustle of wind that didn’t belong.Except this time, something was different.I felt it before I saw it. The air didn’t hum like it usually did when my doppelganger arrives.I couldn’t recall falling asleep. Couldn’t remember lying down. Couldn’t remember closing my eyes or letting my guard down long enough to drift.All I knew was that I was walking. And then everything shifted.I was standing on soft moss, but the ground seemed to shift beneath my feet, as if the forest itself was alive and watching me. I squeezed my eyes shut and opened them again, my heart pounding in a way I hadn’t felt in a while.Then she appeared.At first, she was just a glow, a shimmer in the mist. But as she stepped closer, the light coalesced into the woman I’d only seen in a photograph. Her face
