ALPHA GOD Chapter Nineteen
I couldn't move. In sheer shock, I'm left staring at Alpha Thorran's unconscious body slumped backward on the couch. His eyes are rolled back, his mouth parted, hopefully still taking in air. I'm unsure what to do, my entire body shaking in pure fear. What just happened? Is he still alive? I can see his chest moving slightly, but I'm not sure how long that is going to last. Standing up, my legs feel as if they are going to collapse at any moment. If someone walks in, they are going to see my Alpha, looking as if I've injured him myself. A Silent would surely kill me in this moment. I lean my ear over his mouth, hoping to hear his breathing. He still is, but barely, the sound low and soft. Reaching out, I go to check for his pulse. "Don't touch him," a sharp voice utters from the door. I whirl around, and Jake stands there, glaring at me. "If you leave any trace of yourself on him, people will catch you. The Silent's will. They have technology." I place my hand over my heart, sta
ALPHA GOD Chapter Twenty
I was extremely afraid of where this was going to end. Thorran didn’t turn around to look at me as he was simply leading me away and out of the gym. I stared at his back for the longest time, wishing I could turn and escape from the situation I was being lead into. I was so afraid he was going to drag me into a dark room and force me to admit that I had snuck into his room a few nights ago. Each muscle under his shirt seemed to shift and move under his unreasonably tight shirt, like some kind of taunt. I had no clue what we were doing, all I know, was that I had to get through it. I came here to win, and as much as I had been lead off track knowing Thorran was busy trying to find his lost mother, I wanted to get through this. I want to be an Assassin. Thorran led me into a corridor off the side of the gym. Still, he didn’t utter a single words, not even checking to see if I was following him. Of course, I indeed followed him because what was the other choice. We went into relativ
ALPHA GOD Chapter Twenty One
Brutal.Brutal was the first word that came to mind once those words left his mouth. Initially, there was no way I was about to believe him. As far as I was aware, we weren't even halfway through the competition, so with him saying that I assumed immediately this was some kind of test to gauge my reaction.As serious as Thorran was, I wouldn't put it past him to use this as a test against us all. Swallowing uncomfortably, I lean back in my chair, refusing to look affected by this. I couldn't believe him, and I wouldn't believe him.When I don't react, a small smile comes across Thorran's features, and I'm sure in that moment that I've cracked him. He can't convince me of something too ridiculous."You don't believe me, do you?"Crossing my arms over my chest, I look at him as if he's crazy. He is foolish for thinking he could trick me, considering how many are left in the competition. There is no way each one of us will be offered a position as a Silent. And after what has happened re
ALPHA GOD Chapter Twenty Two
I seriously hated the idea of being alone with Blue. With Thorran gone, quiet has fallen over the group. The look in Blue's eyes is so intense, I have to look anywhere but him. Out of all these Silent's, it's surprisingly the one I know who frightens me the most. Now that Thorran has left, most of them turn to each other to mutter under their breath, whereas Blue concentrates on only me. "Come outside with me," Blue says in a way that is less of an offering and more of a demand. I bristle, however, I don't react with anything other than a nod. "I want to test your skills to see what we have to work with." I'm not sure if he has the authority to make me do this, however, no one else seems to be questioning him. In fact, no one else wants any part of it. So I have no other choice. Wordlessly I follow him out of the building, glaring at his back. He takes me to the back field of the institute where the old buildings I occupied just last night stand. Strangely, everything is dead qui
ALPHA GOD Chapter Twenty Three
The night came by quickly. Thorran went back to his own manor, leaving us in temporary housing for the night before we would be shipped off elsewhere in the morning. Drayton and I returned to our rooms after we were fed dinner in the Assassin's building which had once been where the trainers resided. It was beyond awkward sitting with them all. They talked between themselves about things I wasn't clued in on. Drayton kept to himself on the other end of the table and I did the same. I kept my head down, eating my dinner quickly before running back to my room. Looke, or Blue wasn't at dinner. Naturally, I'm assuming Thorran has found out and is sending him into the depths of prison right now. Or something like that. I really really hope that's not the case. Once I made it back to my room, I closed my door and fell onto my bed. Today has been a long day. I found out I won this entire competition right next to Drayton, and that an old friend of mine is here for me. Why exactly, I sti
ALPHA GOD Chapter Twenty Four
I didn't have time to question my dreams the next day. A Assassin whose name I don't know knocked on my door and demanded I get up and met everyone on the front field. I barely had time to get myself together, throw my hair into a ponytail before I grabbed my things and left. Once I closed the door to my room, I realise this is the last time I'll be here. The last time I'll know what is coming next. I didn't see Drayton on my way there, which is a small mercy. Now I'm assuming he's going to try stay far away from me after I tried to find out more about his past. I'm going to take a step back now. He's not the important one. As I walk down the hallway, Thorran lingering on my mind, I can almost feel myself being watched. Not in person though, but something beyond, watching my every move and waiting for me to make a mistake. It was no coincidence that Shinee haunted my dreams last night. All the Assassin's stood in a group when I made it to the field. They all turned to look at me
ALPHA GOD Chapter Twenty Five
I couldn't get to Looke from here. Everyone crowded around him, asking him where he has been. He must be fairly popular if everyone is so interested in where he has been. Of course, they refer to him as Blue, the name he has gone by thus far as a Assassin. It reminds me to keep my mouth shut on what I know and others don't. So without anyone noticing me, I back away from the group and slink back to my tent. When I glance over my shoulder Thorran is watching me, but luckily he doesn't question it, most likely assuming I'm just tired. As I zip up my tent and crawl under my blankets, I plot my plan within my head. There is no way I'm sleeping through the night without finding out where Looke has been. So I wait. With time, I can hear everyone else getting into their tents, conversations outside starting to cease. When all is quiet, I slowly sneak out, the grass slick with dew wetting my hands and knees before I get to my feet. Looking around the campsite, I see an unfamiliar tent t
ALPHA GOD Chapter Twenty Six
Looke paid me no mind the next morning.We packed up all our belongings and started our walk again. Looke didn't come near me, and I didn't come near him. He walked at the front of the group and I stuck to the back, trying to think of how to deal with this. Should I tell someone and get him removed from the Assassins, or should I keep it to myself?It doesn't seem right to tell Thorran about it. He sacrificed everything for me. I might not agree with why he did it, and how he feels now about me, but I can't have his entire career taken from me because of a crush.I look at him up front as we walk. His head is down, staring at his feet. Everyone around us is oblivious to what happened last night. It's decided.I'll just avoid him.We were walking through the brush, pushing it out of our faces when suddenly something hit my ankle from behind, making me stumble forward and nearly fall. I managed to catch myself on the bough of a tree last minute.
