WHO? | The Alpha (Book One)

XLI

Joaquin

"Professor!" I yell at Dmitri

Damn, this kid walks fast.

I see him sitting beside a redhead guy.

Oh, it's you.

"Why did you–" I am shocked after seeing her face. "So, who is this lovely lady right here?"

This familiar face...

I look at Dmitri.

He may deny it but there's a hint of longingness in his face.

"Joaquin," Dmitri warns. "My students."

"Okay, okay. Calm down, Mister," I say and raise my hands as a sign of retreat.

I am checking the pendant that Esperanza gave me.

"This will help you find the Alpha. Once it glimmers, that means you have found your prey. Send the alpha to me and I'll help you with your kingdom's problem."

To my surprise, it does glimmer.

So, it's him.

"Sir, You want to sit here?" the redhead asks and taps the space on his left side.

I immediately hide the pedant in my palm.

"How nice of you, young man," I say and smile at Dmitri.

Let's see. Are you the lost little pup?

Since that day, I followed the redhead boy wherever he would go. I stare at the pedant, but it's not glimmering anymore.

"Fuck," I shake the pendant.

"Is it broken?" I mutter.

Maybe, I have to be near him.

But how?

"Clarkson!" I greet him after seeing him in the restroom.

"Hi!" he cheerfully greets. I choose to stand near him.

"You still have class?" I ask while checking the pendant.

The fuck?

Why isn't it working this time?

"Uh, yeah," he nods.

I sit on the couch and take a deep breath.
