Chapter 40 Glitch
Kai's POV
Trainings in the academy continued as usual. Dr. Voss had instructed a few older instructors to begin training sessions for future Alphas and Beta's. The training processes were rigorous but who were we to complain.
We followed through with everything like some kind of puppets.
"Kai... Do your start up for ten minutes in the private room." The instructor said.
As the future Alpha who would be leading earth werewolves as their general overseer, I took all my trainings in an enclosed space. It was good for my head. I didn't have to deal with the instructors coming on me like they did with other lesser Alphas.
I began throwing punches into the air, testing out my fists before going to lift up the dumbbell. I did that for about ten minutes before proceeding to doing other things. The ghost dummies were activated and I had to fight them. In the process of throwing a punch, my body froze. I couldn't move. My chest was somehow tightening yet I couldn't react. I was wheezing beneath my skin but nothing was happening outside.
Then I felt someone touch me. I flung them over my head in a split of a second.
"Fuck!!! What the hell is wrong with you guy?" A short guy said as he rubbed his shoulder blades.
"Why were you in my space?" I asked angrily.
"The instructor told me to give you something. But you weren't responding to me when I came into the room." He said.
"I just wanted to tap you an hand over " He searched through his pockets.
My body became fully alert by that time.
"This..." He handed over a flashdrive to me.
"Sorry... I was thinking about something." I said, basically hiding the truth.
"A lady?" He asked.
I shrugged, not wanting to give out too much information.
"Yeah.... Seems my hormones are messing with my head." I said.
He chuckled slightly.
"We all pass through that...." He said.
"Why don't you find a random girl to fuck. Just to clear your head." He said.
"Unless you've already got one hanging on your neck."
I smiled wickedly.
"That's enough. You may leave." I commanded, quickly returning back to my "don't mess with me look".
"Times up for me here." He snickered before dragging himself up from the ground.
He left the room in a blink of an eye.
I inserted the flash drive into the system sitting in the right hand corner of the room. A video of people training came up on it. I followed the movements as I continued training.
My mind was becoming fuzzy so I took a sip of water before settling on the floor, my head in between my legs.
"What happened back then?" I asked my wolf.
"It seemed it was a glitch in your system." It replied.
"It's never happened before." I stated.
"And it did today... For the first time." It responded.
"Are you sure that Dr. Voss isn't messing you up in that crooked office of hers?"
I shaked my head wildly.
"No... She's not capable of that. Besides she needs me." I said with so much confidence dripping from my words.
"Oh Kai... Dr. Voss is capable of a lot of things." It said before I silenced it.
"I'll just act like nothing happened. Besides she doesn't know what goes on in this closed walls." I said to no one in particular.
The time for training came to an end. I went to the mini bathroom to freshen up. After changing into my second P.E wears, I left to the cafeteria for dinner.
My device beeped. I had to go and see Dr. Voss. Sometimes, I forgot that I was under her neck and call. I hurriedly jogged towards her office.
"Hey Kai." She said smiling, showing me her crooked sets of "I was once white" teeth.
I groaned internally.
"Good evening Dr. Voss." I responded.
"How was training?" She asked.
"It went well." I said.
"How's Zara?" She asked.
"I haven't seen her since morning. But I think she's good." I said.
I didn't have to lie today.
"So... Nothing out of the ordinary has happened?" She threw a question again as she narrowed her gaze towards her system.
My heart began to beat loudly. I was pretty sure that if I stood closer to her then she would hear it. Did she know what had happened at the training grounds today?
No she couldn't have known.
"Nothing out of the ordinary happened." I responded, letting the lie slip out of my mouth like saliva.
She stared at me for what looked like moments before nodding.
"You may leave then." She said in a dismissing tone.
I nodded before stepping out of the office. I didn't let my breath out till I turned the hallway leading to the cafeteria.
"That was a close one." My wolf said to me, igniting a smile from my lips.
"We should be happy she didn't catch on with the lie." I threw back.
Stepping into the cafeteria, I located my friends at our usual spot.
I ordered a junior to pack my dinner and bring it over to my table.
"He ladies and gentleman." I greeted my friends, Zara, Luna, Mira and Rex.
"Heyyy.. I hadn't seen you since morning." Zara said as she stood up from her seat to give me a hug.
I hugged her back gently, slowly taking in her scent.
"I've been in training grounds." I said.
"Sometimes, I forget that you're an Alpha." Mira said making me to chuckle slightly.
Just then, my dinner landed on my table.
"Anything else Alpha?" The junior asked with sweat dripping lightly from his face.
"Breathe." I ordered before ushering him away.
"What it would mean to me to just be an Alpha." Zara moaned.
That brought out a full blown laugh from me.
"How'd your day go?" I asked everyone.
Luna just shook her head. I guess she didn't have anything to say.
"My day was a bit hectic. Classes here and there... Boring as usual." Rex said.
"Same goes with Luna." He added.
"I just ran around doing errands for Dr. Voss." Mira said.
"Oh well.... I slept in all day." Zara said.
That part left me shocked with my mouth wide open.
"You did what?" I asked.
"Oh!! Don't worry... I wasn't detained or something." She responded.
"I showed up when I could." She said in a whisper.
Just then...
A junior walks over to Zara and is about punching her when Zara turns and the next thing...
She drops dead.
"What just happened?" Mira asks.
Zara suddenly can't remember what happened in the last few minutes.
"When did you get here Kai?" She asks so sweetly.
"Zara....
