Tales of Alder Academy

LESSON 1

LESSON 1

And so that night Lucas and Alicia Alder died, their young never found and was presumed dead.

"Ms. Simpson!"  

A young raven haired girl stood up from her desk. startled at having been caught sleeping in class again. Her teacher glared at her. "Ms. Simpson, detention!"

She groaned, not again.

***

This was Meredith Simpson's 4th detention this week, not exactly record breaking, insert sarcasm.

"Why did you sleep again Mira, you know Mrs. Powell is keeping her eyes on you" her roommate reprimanded

Mira rolled her sapphire eyes "That stupid werewolf teacher just hates me too much, she doesn't scold other students in her class when they sleep, only me"

"All the more to be careful, everybody knows that you are not liked by the upper class" her friend dragged upper class to emphasize her point

By upper class Meredith knows she meant werewolves and vampires. There's no secret to selected human students enrolled in Alder Academy that this school is an inter- specie kind of school. And the dominant species hates her for being both. Hybrid in human genetic term, mongrel according to both vampires and werewolves. Boo hoo! Just because the upper class treats her like shit she would be bitter about it. Puhlease, only pathetic people think that way, and last time she checked she was far from it. 

"Mrs. Powell doesn't care even if you're the smartest in class-" her friend interrupted her train of thought 

"I have an IQ of 165-" Meredith flaunted 

"You have a perfect vital statistics, waist length raven  hair and sapphire eyes" her friend added 

"Sigh! And the boys in our human dorm worships me" Meredith batted her eye lashes to add to the dramatics 

"But the upper class still hates you" Ariza finished 

Meredith balled her first and slammed it on her desk which broke into splinters. All of her other companions in detention turned to her with disgust which were mostly werewolves. 

"Why are you here Ariza?" she massaged her forehead 

"Oh! I forgot Slazen, that werewolf guy from Math class-" 

Meredith rolled her eyes "Who has an ego the size of Jupiter, who's been annoying me since the start of the semester" 

"Yup! that one" Ariza exclaimed 

Sometimes, Meredith questioned the heavens why they gave Ariza an IQ of 143 and still acted stupid

"He gave me a letter for you" she handed Meredith a yellow sticky note crumpled. 

Meredith gave her friend a dry look "By letter you mean trash" 

She thought for awhile "He said letter" 

Meredith felt her eye color change in annoyance but she controlled herself and snatched the piece of 'trash' from her friend's hands. 

'You're my high' 

Meredith tore the note in an instant shocking Ariza, without any other word she left detention and smelled around the target of her rampage. Slazen Grey. Son of Alpha Douglas Grey, heir to the biggest existing pack in history, and would be considered dead as soon as she gets her hands on him.

***

There are two words that best describe Slazen Cameron Douglas Grey, he is COCKY AND HOT. He knows it. So when he met Meredith Simpson last semester he had expected her to fall to his feet and worship him like the other human girls and she-wolves. But no she ignored him like he was a piece of trash and totally forgot about him by the time the new semester started.

"Dude nobody wants Meredith, she's a mongrel for crying out loud, that's like taking damage goods" Michael, his soon to be beta pointed out over the semester break when he made mention of Meredith in one of their conversations.

The truth is he cared less of her genes and all the stereotypes about hybrids, all he knows is that he is one hormonal male wolf driven to get what he wants. And by want he means, Meredith Simpson on his bed with him. There's just something about the smell of roses and oranges that makes Meredith so unique, as if her scent was meant to drive him crazy. And by crazy- 

His thoughts were interrupted when a fist collided with his cheek. Normally, that would have no effect on him seeing as he has alpha blood running in his veins but this is  Meredith we are talking about and she's known for being brutal.

"Hello there babe! that was one hell of a greeting" Slazen smirked, massaging his stinging cheek

"I have a name Mr. Grey" she glared at him, her sapphire eyes turning amber, somehow that sent Slazen's blood rush downwards making him hard. Unknowingly he purred, his wolf making an appearance.

Everybody around him gasped, mostly werewolves. They stared at Meredith with dread in their eyes.

'Fuck!' that was all that came to her mind.

Meredith had been reading a lot about her werewolf side lately, and by the signs Slazen is showing it only screamed one thing 'a mating call'. Contrary to what hopeless romantic humans believe, werewolves issue a challenge before they could claim their mate, they fight for dominance to prove themselves worthy of a female, no it's not immediate connection it's more bloody and brutal in reality. 

"Snap out of it Grey!" she exclaimed "this is not funny"

Slazen slowly closed their distance, his nose a few centimeters from hers before he inhaled deeply.

"I think you are smart enough to know that my wolf just issued a 'mating call' and not even you can stop it, not even me-"

"But it doesn't mean you can't  try reign your beast" she argued smartly

"True, but i don't want to" he purred, running his hands on her arm lightly

Meredith shivered in against his touch "I'm a hybrid Slazen, no matter what you do, you will never have me"

He chuckled darkly "I always get what i want Meredith no matter what the cost is"

Before Meredith could retort, someone cleared his throat from behind her, Meredith's connection with Slazen stopped as the werewolf turned his amber eyes to the vampire that was standing behind Meredith.

"It's not a very wise decision Grey, your father will be greatly disappointed"

Without warning the vampire pulled Meredith away from Slazen, placing his arms around her shoulders, not forgetting to give her an adoring look before turning back to Slazen. His red eyes were piercing.

"I think it's better if you leave her alone" his tone was low, soft yet threatening

Slazen smirked "And if i don't?'

"That leaves me no choice but to answer your mating call and kill you"

"Let's see if you can Reemus" Slazen spat
