23 - Borneca Academy [Part Two]

'What is he doing here?! He's supposed to be in Phoenix Claw! Not Borneca!'

Alfred walks behind the group and frowns at Ethan's back that faces him. Ethan turns around, halting his steps.

"If you have something to say, say it to my face. Not mentally." Ethan barks.

"Wait, you heard my thought?" Alfred gapes. "How! Only Alphas can."

"I don't know honestly. Discovered that ability a few months ago." Ethan smiles sheepishly.

'That makes no sense...maybe dad would know? No, he wouldn't be able to help, he's stuck remember Alfred. Maybe a book at the library would be helpful.' the violet eyed werewolf thinks to himself.

He breaks away from the group and jogs up a flight of stairs, disappearing from line of sight. Zack comes to halt a minute later.

"What's crawling up his ass?" he jerks a head at the direction Alfred vanished to.

Harper shrugs. "Beats me, come on you two. It's time to see Sierra and Alec."

A fairly large double door is pushed open by someone's foot as they walk in, holding a book in their arms and supporting a frown.

He moves to sit down with his friends, at their table near the bay window, taking a seat beside Alec and across from Ethan.

"Guys." he says. "I found something. Ethan told me about an ability he only just discovered a few months ago and it confused me a little as it's an ability only Alphas have."

"Go on, Al." Sierra speaks. "I'm intrigued now."

Alfred sets his book down and opens it to a bookmarked page, turning it around and sliding it towards Harper.

"Any child of an Alpha has what's called Alpha abilities. These abilities can but not always include: telepathy, teleportation, and a larger wolf form for males. Other abilities are simply skills that are inherited by the product of an Alpha pair and are limited to that product, that child." Harper reads the page aloud. "I don't get it."

"I think Ethan's the son of an Alpha."

"That's insane! I'm just a human with a werewolf sister!" Ethan defends himself. "Nothing about me screams werewolf!"

"Enough spewing lies. Come forth, Lycan and embrace your true self." Vinson growls.

"See! Even Vinson disagrees!" Zack shouts.

"Fine, Ethan can prove it. Have him shift into a wolf or tell him to read my thoughts." Alfred says.

"Easier said than done, dragon! I can't just embrace my true self if I don't even know what my true self is!" Ethan snarls loudly, breathing a bit heavily.

"You're like that father of yours. A Lycan-Ultima. I'm quite impressed." Vinson mutters.

Ethan huffs, taking deep breaths and letting them out slowly. "What?"

Alfred quickly leaps to his feet, darting to stand behind Ethan; evidently covering the teen's deadly red turned eyes with his hands.

The former bends his head down next to Ethan's ear and whispers, "they don't know your kind exists."

"And you do?" Ethan whispers back. "I don't even know what I am."

'You're an Ultima. A Lycan-Ultima probably if I had to be exact.' Alfred beams a small smile at him.

"What is that?"

"Hey Al? Why are you covering Ethan's eyes?"

Alfred perks up. "Oh, I figured he just needed some time to get used to his senses. You know, being a werewolf and all."
