All Chapters of THE ALPHA I WAS TO KILL: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The iron gates beneath the platform groaned open, the sound echoing across the arena like a warning. Every student instinctively stepped back, yet not a single instructor moved. Instead of wolves, six creatures emerge—sleek, shadow-like beasts with glowing amber eyes and long antlers twisted like branches. They don't attack. They circle the arena, sniffing the air as though searching for something.One Beta whispers, "Night Stalkers..."Another mutters, "Why are they using them on freshers?"Even the senior students look uneasy.Instructor Kael raises a hand. "These creatures cannot be defeated." The murmuring dies immediately. "They exist for one purpose." He pauses. "They expose fear."He immediately calls students one after another. Each showed whether it could be defeated. One student screamed before the beast even reached him. Another dropped to his knees, shaking uncontrollably. A Gamma froze in place, unable to move, while a Beta was knocked off the platform within seconds. Unt

The moment Lila and I stepped into the cafeteria, conversations slowed. Forks paused halfway to mouths. Students looked at me, then quickly looked away when I caught them."I miss being ignored." I sighedAs we walked farther inside, students began whispering."That's her...""The Bell accepted her.""The Night Stalker bowed.""She's the Unranked Elite."The title still sounded ridiculous, Unranked Elite. Those two words weren't even supposed to belong in the same sentence. I grabbed a tray and muttered, "Can I exchange the title for a normal school life?""No refunds," Lila replied.Before we could sit down, someone blocked our table. It was the same Beta boy who had laughed when I couldn't name my rank during Power Class."Mind if I join you?"I looked up. "Weren't you the one who called me an Omega?"His smile faded. "I... misjudged you.""You did."He stood there awkwardly before walking away without another word.Lila burst into laughter. "That was painful to watch."The second h

The black card stayed inside my pocket. I must have checked it ten times before the last period. The words hadn't changed.Stop training with Adrian.He needs you alive for a reason.Whoever wrote it clearly enjoyed ruining people's mornings. I sighed and shoved the card deeper into my pocket."Talking to yourself already?"Lila slid into the seat beside me, balancing two cups of coffee in one hand and a bread roll in the other."I wasn't talking."She pushed one cup toward me. "I bribed the cafeteria lady.""With what?""My charm."I took a sip. "This tastes expensive.""It cost me two chocolate bars.""...Never mind."The classroom slowly filled with students. This time, everyone was busy with their business, guess they are finally getting used to me amongst them. Nobody blocked my path; instead, they watched.One girl quickly stood from her seat."You can sit here if you want."I blinked."...Why?"She looked embarrassed."It's... closer to the window.""...Right." Lila leaned clo

The walk back from East Cliff was quieter than usual. I chose to continue the training till the person runs out of paper. The morning wind tugged at the trees lining the academy path, carrying the smell of damp earth after last night's rain. Students hurried past in groups, laughing about combat class, arguing over breakfast, complaining about assignments. I barely heard any of it. Adrian's words refused to leave my head."You're trying to fight with your eyes."Easy for him to say, because he wasn't the one getting pelted with rocks before sunrise."If he throws another stone at me tomorrow, I'm reporting him for attempted murder." I sighed.My phone buzzed, distracting my thoughts. The sound made me stop. I frowned at the screen.“Mom?” A smile found its way onto my face before I could stop it."Mom?...""Nira..." she whispered slowly. Then paused. Something was wrong. She always asked whether I'd eaten first. Well, it has been a long time since we spoke. Today she didn't."Mom?"

The corridors are empty except for the occasional torch. Their flames dance whenever the wind slips through broken windows. My footsteps echo off the stone floor, so I step only where the old rugs muffle the sound. The hooded figure never looks back. She walks as if she already knows no one is brave enough to follow.“Either she's fearless… or she's done this too many times,” a thought ran through my head. The academy slowly changes; the walls become older, and paint peels away. Family portraits become cracked, and wolf statues line both sides of the hallway. Some are missing eyes, others have broken jaws, and one has claw marks running down its chest. There are no torches anywhere, only moonlight. The hooded figure turned one last corner, and I hurriedly followed, but she was gone. There were no doors, windows, staircases, nothing. "...Seriously?" I whisper, checking both directions. Nothing. Just a shadow heading towards a different wing. "People actually come here on purpose?"
