All Chapters of Alpha Academy: The Omega in Disguise : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Elias’s POVRonan didn’t say anything after that.Not for a long time.He just stayed beside the bed, still holding my hand loosely, like he was giving me room to pull away if I wanted to. I didn’t.His presence felt like a heavy, warm shield pressed between me and the rest of the academy. Every breath I took felt easier than the last.Eventually, he leaned back in the chair he’d dragged close earlier. His fingers were still wrapped around mine.“You should try to sleep,” he murmured.“I don’t think I can.”“You can,” he said softly. “You just do not want to.”He wasn’t wrong.Closing my eyes meant being alone with my thoughts.Being alone with fear.With the sound of alarms echoing in my memory.With the look on Hale’s face when he questioned me.I swallowed. “What if something happens while I’m asleep?”“I am here,” Ronan said. “Nothing will happen.”I let out a slow breath. His voice always sounded like certainty. Like a wall, Like something unshakeable.He adjusted the blanket a l

Elias’s POV“Somewhere safer?”The words echoed in my head long after Ronan said them.He stood from the bed, movements sharp and decisive like he had already planned everything long before stepping back into the room.I pulled the blanket tighter. “Where… where are we going?”Ronan didn’t answer immediately.He walked to the door, pressed his ear lightly against it, and listened for footsteps in the hall. His shoulders were tense like a drawn bowstring, and the silence between us felt thick enough to choke on.Only after a long moment passed did he turn back.“Not far,” he said. “But far enough that Hale won’t find you.”My heart thudded painfully. “Ronan… is it that serious now?”“Yes.” he said. No hesitation, Not even a pause.He crossed the room again and crouched in front of me, at eye-level now. His expression was tight; not angry, not worried, but something deeper. Something heavier.“Hale is more suspicious than we thought,” Ronan said quietly. “He wasn’t only asking questions

Elias’s POVRonan didn’t leave the room immediately.He stayed seated beside me, shoulder pressed against mine, silently thinking.His breathing was controlled, steady.Mine wasn’t.“Ronan,” I whispered. “What exactly are you planning to do?”He didn’t answer right away.“I will create a distraction,” he finally said. “One strong enough that Hale has no reason to look at you again.”My stomach twisted painfully.“No. Hale is already suspicious. If he thinks you were the one triggering the alarms…”“He won’t,” Ronan said firmly. “Not directly.”“Then what?”He turned to face me, eyes sharp, calculating in that terrifyingly calm way he had.“Suspicion needs a direction,” he said.“And I’m going to give Hale the wrong one.”Before I could argue, he stood up.“Eat the rest of your food,” he ordered softly. “I’ll be back soon.”“Where are you going?”“To handle something.”That wasn’t an answer. Not a real one.I grabbed his sleeve before he could take another step.“Ronan,” I whispered. “

Elias’s POVRonan didn’t speak immediately. He just stood there, watching me with that unreadable look he only wore when things were serious. I swallowed hard.“What do you mean we take control?” I asked quietly.Ronan walked past me to the small table where I’d left my water. He didn’t drink, it was more like he needed something to do with his hands. When he finally turned back, the faint tension in his jaw told me everything.He was already thinking ten steps ahead.“Hale won’t let this go,” Ronan said. “Not after today.”I lowered myself onto the edge of the bed. “But you handled him. He left.”“For now,” Ronan replied. “But he’s a director. He has access to more things than the average instructor. Logs, reports, disciplinary records. If he decides to track your movements or cross-check your files, he might find patterns I can’t cover anymore.”My fingers tightened around the blanket.“What patterns?”Ronan looked at me carefully. “Your pheromone drops. The inconsistencies in your

Ronan’s POVI did not look back.If I looked back, I knew I would not be able to walk away from him. Not today. Not with everything that was about to happen.My footsteps echoed down the hallway, slow at first, then faster. I needed space. I needed a clear head. I needed to think without Elias standing there with those eyes that made everything inside me feel unsteady.When I reached the end of the hall, I stopped and leaned against the wall. The sun was still rising through the tall windows. Soft light touched the floors, the walls, everything. It should have been calming. It was not.I pressed my hand against my forehead. My thoughts felt tight.He asked me what would change tomorrow. I could not answer him.Because I did not know the full answer myself.I could feel that things were shifting around us. Hale’s questions were too sharp. The sensors were too active. The academy was too alert. One wrong move and everything would break apart. One slip from Elias and they would know he w
