Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha Matchmaking System: Kabanata 11 - Kabanata 20

By the time I reached the principal’s office, my palms were slick and sweaty. I stopped in front of the wooden door with a gold plaque that read Principal Rowan, taking a deep breath, I knocked softly, hoping for the best. The last thing I needed was another problem today. “Come in,” a calm voice replied. I pushed the door open. The office was nothing like I expected, it was warm, with sunlight pouring through the tall windows. There was a faint smell of lavender and paper, and sitting behind a dark mahogany desk was Principal Rowan herself, she looked like she was in her mid-forties. Her silver streaked hair was tied neatly in a bun, with her glasses perched on her nose. She didn’t look intimidating like the rumours, she was calm and collected. She smiled when our eyes met. “Miss Lyra Dale, please, have a seat.” I hesitated for a moment before lowering myself into the chair opposite her. “Good afternoon.” “You must be wondering why you were called” she started folding her ha

“I still can't believe I have to train with Alpha Kael tonight” I groaned, running my hand through my hair, as I dragged my feet. “Why did you even agree to the stupid duel in the first place” We turned into another corridor, heading toward our next class. “Because he’s strong.” she shrugged I shot her a look. “That’s it? You let him win just because he is strong?” “Not just because,” she said, glancing at me with a teasing smirk. “If you want to surpass Alphas, you need someone powerful to push you past your limits. And Kael is… well, Kael.” I frowned. “You make it sound like it's nice” Ivy chuckled. “I guess it is” then she added “he is really good, you won’t get stronger practicing with someone weaker than your opponent” She had a point, but that didn’t make me feel better about being stuck with Kael. I sighed. “You could have at least told me you were planning to lose.” “I did not plan to lose,” Ivy said. “I knew I would lose” I blinked, stopping in my tracks. “Wait, wh

Macie gasped, she was shocked. Her hand flew to her face, as blood trickled down her nose. The entire cafeteria went silent, eyes now on us. I wasn’t expecting Ivy to react, but seeing how Macie looked, it brought a satisfied smile to my face. “You….. you bitch” she sputtered, her voice was muffled as she tried to cover her bleeding nose. Ivy did not even flinch. “Oh, I’m sorry,” she said sweetly, her tone dripping with sarcasm. “I did not mean to ruin your pretty face.” Macie’s eyes were filled with anger, her jaw tightening as if she was about to get back at Ivy. But Ivy stepped closer, her aura shifting. “I would not do that if I were you,” she warned, her voice calm but laced with authority. “You see, I have Alpha blood, and you…” she let her gaze drag over Macie’s shocked face, “you are just a lowborn who got lucky.” Macie froze, her anger disappeared at the sharp reminder. Everyone knew what that meant here, Alpha blood meant privilege, respect, and untouchable power. Ev

Before I could react, Ivy had already marched forward to meet Zurien. “Let me guess you are here to meet your fling” She scoffed “You know Lyra is in this mess because of you” Zurien did not reply to her and Ivy snapped. “Say something. You are the reason why Lyra was given a strike. Zurien did not flinch, he did not even blink. His hands were in his pockets, as he just stared at her, he was unfazed that she was angry. “Ivy,” I muttered weakly, but I knew she was not done with him. “If you don’t want the match, fine” she continued, her voice rising. “Lyra doesn’t want it either, so do us all a favor and keep your stupid flings away from her” Zurien’s jaw twitched. His eyes flickered briefly toward me, but I ignored him. “Say something,” Ivy demanded. “Are you just….” “Ivy,” I cut in, my voice quiet but firm. She froze mid sentence and turned toward me. “That’s enough,” I said, not looking at Zurien. My voice came out tired, heavier than I intended. “Let’s just go. I am done

Ivy had to drag my ass to school. After what happened with Lucy, the school has been quiet, at least, I was not blamed after the live video, but Lucy’s death was still a mystery to everyone, no one knows why she did it. We stepped out of the dorm, as we headed to class. Just as we were about to enter the hallways, a shadow flickered above us, and something fell down really fast with a thud. Ivy and I instinctively jumped back, and on the floor, right in front of us was a dead bird, its neck was twisted at an impossible angle, making it obvious that somebody had killed it and intentionally thrown it down. “What the hell” I cursed out loud “That's creepy” Ivy whispered beside me. We both looked up at the balcony, but there was no one there. “Is this some kind of sick joke?” Ivy was irritated as she stared at the lifeless bird. I had a bad sensation about this, and it gave me a foreboding feeling. We both stepped around the dead bird and walked into the hallway. Walking through
