ALPHA FOUR : CHAPTERS 1 – THE END

CHAPTER 55 & 56

By Naomi Cindy B

“Urgghhhhh!!!!” An earth-shaking shriek fell from Sasha’s mouth, and blood was already bathing her before she crumbled with wide, shocked eyes.

The students are all laying low for safety, Zinnia inclusive.

Alyssa aimed for Sasha again, but disappointedly, there’s no bullet in the gun anymore.

“Lucky you” she muttered then catwalked slowly to where Sasha is lying.

Her blood is painting the marbled ground already, and her bleeding kept getting worse from her middle.

She couldn’t move, even her open mouth couldn’t say anything. She’s powerless and helpless.

Alyssa squatted beside her and got her phone, then she began making a video.

“Hey Sasha… Got anything to say in your last moment?” She asked with a grin,… Sasha gasped for breath.

Alyssa zoomed the camera on her pale face…

“You shouldn’t have touched Hardin at all” she said, slapping Sasha’s cheek, hard.

Students gasped again, and Sasha spilled blood from her mouth.

“Eew!” Alyssa frowned, then Killian rushed in with Alice and the boys.

“I knew it” Alice muttered.

“Heck! Alyssa!” Killian snapped, and she stood.

“Are you mad at me cos i ruined your chance of killing her yourself? Torture till maggots cover her body before she dies? Well I’m not a very patient person, kill-boy” she said.

“Get her body out” Jordan told the guards.

“Not so soon” Killian replied, retrieving another gun.

He went closer to Sasha and aimed for her heart. Sasha’s eyes widened on the floor despite her weakness.

“P… pl…

She tried to beg, but that got terminated when he fired her chest.

Students screamed horrifically as the cold hands of death finally gripped Sasha.

Black blood trickled out of her mouth, and she gave up right there.

“Take her body to her father’s clan” Killian ordered, and the school guards took action immediately.

Killian led the way out of the circle while the rest of the Alphas followed him behind.

Zinnia quickly hid behind a student, but that wasn’t enough to cover her.

Killian saw her, and she gulped when their eyes met.

His eyes darted to her plastered knees and muffled neck, and he felt a stiff in his chest, but he brushed it off before shifting his gaze away from her.

They finally left, and the students finally were able to breathe.

* Damn! Did I just witness Alphas killing in broad daylight?

* They’re ruthless!

* Wait… Alphas? You mean the mean girl too?

* You dunno? His Ladyship has six children. Those two girls are the last…twins!

* The first one is super scary!

* That’s Alyssa Alpha, a psycho.

* Killian too! He killed Sasha without blinking!

* I got the chills!

They were chatting in shock as the guards took Sasha’s body out, and the school cleaners began mopping her blood away.

Zinnia exhaled and started walking out of the skyscraper.

Though she doesn’t know why Sasha got killed suddenly by the Alphas, but she doesn’t want to overthink either.

Students started checking their phones suddenly.

* Shadow Princess posted!

* OMG really?

She stopped to turn back, and her friends joined her.

“Here, read it” Karen gave her her phone.

She took it and started reading the post.

It’s about Sasha who just got killed.

SASHA STONE WORKED WITH VIKTOR. SHE GAVE HIM THE SKETCH WITH THE AIM OF DESTROYING MISFIT…ALSO, SHE HAS BEEN OBSESSING OVER KILLIAN SINCE SHE WAS YOUNG. SHE MADE A FOOL OUT OF JORDAN, SHE DESERVES WHAT SHE GOT.

Zinnia exhaled again after reading, and Sunny smiled.

“I’m glad you’ve been exonerated, but I wish the school could revoke your expulsion” she said.

“They should better do” Priyanka muttered.

“IIf you leave, where will I see brown hair to rub always?” Britney said, and Zinnia smiled.

“What happened to your knees!” Priyanka Britney noticed the plasters.

“Oh… they’re small cuts from a fall and they don’t hurt, I’m good” Zinnia quickly said.

“Come here puppy” Karen widened her arms, and Zinnia hugged her for comfort while Priyanka and Sunny patted her back… Britney stroked her hair.

“Am I interrupting?” Bruno’s voice came, and they had to break the bond and face him.

“I’ll call you girls when I get home” Zinnia told them.

“Sure, stay safe boo!” Britney blew her kisses, and she smiled as they went for the elevator.

Zinnia walked out of the skyscraper with Bruno, straight to the park.

“You’re gonna drive me home?” She asked.

“I drove you here so it’s only normal I drive you back” he replied.

“But the classes…

“There’s only one class and it’s 12 to 1. Hop in!” He opened the car door for her, and she couldn’t help but remember Killian’s eyes from earlier.

He used to do this too.

Sadly, she entered the car, and Bruno drove her out of the school.

ALPHA FOUR : CHAPTERS 1 – THE END

ROYAL PRIDE HOSPITAL*

Alyssa drove a cart containing many bouquet of tulip flowers into Hardin’s ward, and immediately she saw him lying in bed, she gasped.

“Gawd! It’s so strange to see him lying down without fúcking or partying or updating his IG! What’s Hardin without fun!” She said dramatically, taking out the flowers one by one to surround his bed with.

“Yunno he’s not dead, right?” Alice said, coming in with the boys

“Hardin is practically dead like this unless he wakes up! My social butterfly!” Alyssa started crying.

“Stop it, anyone would know they’re fake tears” Zade scoffed.

“Am I that obvious? I guess my acting skills are faltering” Alyssa muttered, wiping her tears.

“Shadow Princess is fúcking with us” Jordan said, staring at the new post on the blog.

“Wait till I get my hands on whoever the fûck it id” Killian replied, and then Aurora came in in the company of maids.

“Mother dearest!” Alyssa gushed.

“mes pêches (my peaches)” she widened her arms, and the twins hugged her together.

“Missed you mother” Alice said.

“Me too…” Alyssa added.

“What did you do, Alyssa?” Aurora asked, breaking the hug.

“I guess you heard about my little hunt… She deserved it…ion even care if she’s your friend’s daughter. I’ve always wanted to kill her since she did that to Jordan” Alyssa replied.

“Alyssa” Aurora stroked her cheeks.

“Mooother, just chill ok? Malachi believes we’re useless, and he sent us away cos of that. I’m only proving him wrong” she flared her nose, and Aurora faced Alice.

“Mother you should know no amount of words can penetrate into that hard head of hers” Alice said, and Alyssa grinned.

A faint sound came from Hardin’s bedside, and they all turned to that direction.

Hardin’s eyes is open already, though slightly, and he’s staring at them.

“Dude!” Killian was the first to get beside him.

“Are you ok?” Zade asked.

“Can you talk?” Jordan asked.

“Honey” Aurora stroked his hair.

“Don’t tell me you’re still gonna close those eyes” Alyssa said.

“Hey brother! ” Alice smiled.

He kept staring wordlessly.

Alice rang the emergency bell, and three doctors entered the ward to check on him.

“No unnecessary talks, please. He needs the rest… We’ll still have to sedate him in an hour” one of them said.

“Sure, thanks doctor” Aurora replied, and they left the ward.

“Hey buddy! C’mon say something!” Alyssa waved.

“Did you…did you bring these burial flowers?” Hardin finally talked, tightening his face.

“Yes!” Alice gushed.

“Thank gawd” Jordan smiled.

“Fûcker welcome back” Zade said.

“You want anything?” Killian asked.

“Stop pretending to be caring” Hardin replied.

“Fûck you” Killian gave him two middle fingers.

“Honey” Aurora stroked his hair again.

“Mother dearest… How long have I been out?” He replied.

“Not up to 24 hours, glad you’re back to me” she smiled.

“I’ll pretend you didn’t just call my flowers burial flowers” Alyssa crossed her arms.

“Get them away, I hate the smell, girl!” Hardin frowned.

“Not happening!” Alyssa glared

“This is why I’ll never like you” Hardin said.

“Same here! Same!” Alyssa rolled eyes, and Aurora chuckled.

“I’ll snap a picture” Alyssa got her phone, and everyone got their faces in the camera .

She adjusted her hair before snapping them…

“Kill-boy you still don’t like showing your face in pictures? Laughing out loud! ” Alyssa rolled eyes.

“One more disrespectful word from you,… ” Killian warned.

“Fineee” Alyssa groaned.

“Get these flowers out please” Hardin said again.

“But they smell nice!” Alyssa picked one and placed it on Hardin’s face.

“Alyssa!” He choked.

Alice quickly removed the bouquet while Zade and Jordan grabbed Alyssa’s arms.

They started dragging her out of the ward.

“Y’all stop pretending to love him more than I do! Hardin you know the truth! We’re the closest buddies in this family! Hardin!!!!” Alyssa was screaming dramatically till she was completely out.

“You should have come back alone Alice, why did you bring this troublemaker?” Hardin said.

“She’d kill me” Alice replied and faced Killian.

“Need to go see my babies at the cottage. I missed my binoculars and Polaroids so much! ” She said.

“Will meet you there” Killian said.

Alice gave Hardin and Aurora a peck on the cheek before leaving the ward.

“I’ll stay with him” Aurora told Killian.

“Later, bro” Killian told Hardin.

“I love you” Hardin smiled.

“Yuck! Please” Killian squeezed his brows, and Hardin grinned lightly as he walked out of the ward

He entered a washroom and got himself a cigar to lighten.

His right knuckles are bandaged cos of the wound from the mirror punch though.

He was about to turn on the lighter when Jordan came in to smoke too.

“Co-smoker” Jordan joined him with a short chuckle.

“Zade?” Killian asked.

“He went for snacks with Alyssa” Jordan replied, and Killian nodded.

“About Zinn…” Jordan started.

“No” Killian replied curtly.

“Dude you can’t keep this up. I saw your signature on her body earlier in school. She was wearing a muffler around her neck, meaning you choked her, and her knees were plastered. She obviously fell or something” Jordan replied.

“And?” Killian asked, secretly folding his fist.

“If it were another girl, you know I’d kill her myself. Even if I don’t, Zade would clear her easily, but she’s still breathing cos we know how much she means to you and how much Hardin cherishes her” Jordan said.

“She means nothing to me” Killian replied, still folding his fist.

“Then maybe I and Zade can visit her tonight and clear her” Jordan said.

“Shut that mouth” Killian muttered, and Jordan smiled.

“It’s so easy to lie to yourself, let’s see how long you’d be able to take it” he said and finally lightened his cigar.

Killian gave up on smoking and walked out of the room.

ALPHA FOUR : CHAPTERS 1 – THE END

OVERLORD’S CASTLE*

“What did you just say?” Malachi quickly faced the guards who came in to report.

“Sasha Stone is dead, and her father’s clan got cancelled by Master Killian” The guard replied, and a video was played on a tab for him, showing him how Alyssa and Killian did the killing.

“Alyssa… Killian” Malachi seethed, banging his fist on the table ragingly.

“How dare … They” he muttered, scratching the desk with his short nails so hard that blood filled the nails.

“Your Lordship!” Another guard came in.

“Stone family is here” he reported.

Sasha’s parents came in instantly, the father’s eyes so sorrowfully red and the mothers eyes tearful.

“We take Sasha’s death as an unfortunate situation. We can’t bring her back, but your Lordship… Killian can’t cancel my clan. I’ll do anything, I need my clan… I beg your intervention” the man bowed completely.

His wife continued crying silently with bowed head too.

Malachi gritted his teeth, turning his back on them.

Sasha died instead of Gabriel’s daughter?

Just how far can Killian go because of her?

He underestimated him too much, now he has to re-strategize.

ALPHA FOUR : CHAPTERS 1 – THE END

DOWN CITY, A BAR*

Masked Viktor entered a restroom and met someone peeing as expected.

He waited for him to be done with his business before approaching him.

“Can I use your phone, please?” He asked in a muffled voice.

The man looked at his mask and cap for a while before giving it to him.

“I’ll be outside” he said and left the room.

Viktor went online first, and when he saw the news of Sasha’s gruesome death, his blood froze.

He was trembling as he dialled his mother’s line.

“Mother?”

“Unfailingly tommorow night, you’ll leave Italy. Find a way to get to Trieste port before 7pm” Ray said, and the line went off.

Viktor gulped.

ALPHA FOUR : CHAPTERS 1 – THE END

6PM, ZINNIA’S PLACE*

Zinnia has been hanging around the vicinity for a while now, she’s just coming home right now.

Gabriel is in the living room, and he secretly inhaled in relief when she came in.

She ignored him and started going in…

“Have you ever wondered why i suddenly hated Nica and started beating her even with her pregnancy?” He suddenly said, and she turned back with sour face.

“I don’t wanna know, keep it to yourself. You’re nothing but a wicked thing who orchestrated her death, and you have no right to call her name” she said coldly and entered her room, slamming the door.

She stayed behind it and stared at Ms. Cuddles on the bed for a while before going for it

She took the teddy and sat on the bed, pressing the chest button so it started playing Nica’s voice.

She was smiling sadly as she listened repeatedly for three times before getting her phone from the ground where it fell at last night.

There’s a lot of notification as expected, and a large percent of it is from the blog.

She still can’t believe she got expelled.

No doubt, aunt Vivian will be mad at her for wasting the opportunity she gave her.

Anyone who gets expelled from Royal Pride will never get admission from any other school in Italy, their influence goes that far.

She was biting her lip torturously as she scrolled through the notifications, and then she saw Killian’s new IG post’s.

She clicked on it, and she smiled slightly when she saw it’s a picture they snapped at the hospital with the twins and Hardin!

Hardin is awake!

Her eyes shone, and tears of joy fell from them.

“I’m so glad” she sniffled, wiping them.

She’d have gone to see him at the hospital, but no one can enter without a major relationship with the family, so she’d just wait till he’d be discharged.

She looked at the picture again and noticed Killian’s absence, but then she later saw him…

He’s behind Alice, head down so half of his face is hidden__as usual.

She zoomed on his face and then her eyes caught his bandaged knuckles.

Where did he get the wound from?

Does it hurt?

No matter how hard she tried not to worry, she did.

He’s the same guy who told her to run away and choked her, but she’s still worried.

Is she defective in the head? The probability is high.

She directed her gaze to the flower pot and felt her heart sinking.

The room felt stuffy suddenly, and she picked a hoodie from her wardrobe, putting it on before leaving the house.

She didn’t walk for long before getting to the abandoned park, the spot she met him at for the first time.

She sat on the swing and inhaled, then she got a text from the girls group and checked.

Sunny: Girls, there’s a football game tommorow in school! We should go I think.

Britney: Thought you were only interested in lacrosse, what changed?

Priyanka: Our Alphas aren’t gonna be playing till Hardin heals completely so we should switch to football for now.

Karen: Zee are you coming? If you say yes I’ll come too.

Zinnia smiled and was about to type a reply when the phone went off.

Oops!

She should have plugged it at home.

She returned it to her pocket and looked ahead .

She imagined how Killian took off his mask that night and locked eyes with her with that smirk, and she smiled prettily, but then she suddenly felt a presence.

She’d have inhaled bergamot if it’s Killian, and also… Killian has no reason to stalk her anymore now that he’s done with her, so….

She got greatly scared and stood.

She started walking away, but she felt someone following her, and she quickened her pace.

She felt comfortable with Killian stalking her, but this one is making her skin crawl.

She needs to get home as soon as possible.

She went from walking to sprinting, her heart skipping beats.

From sprinting, she began running, sweat falling down her brows.

An hand suddenly pulled her back, and she gasped when she came face-to-face with the mad drunkard!

The man she bumped into last night in the rain, the one who spilled alcohol.

“I knew I’d find you” he laughed crazily, and she made to release herself, but he draped his arm behind her and groped her arse.

“Get off me! Get… Off!!” Zinnia pushed him off, but he grabbed her again and did the groping again on her hips.

Zinnia began struggling with him as he tried touching her bôobs too.

“Get away from me!!!” She pushed him away, her hair haphazard already.

He lost his hold on her and fell, then he released a crooked laughter as she resumed running.

He stood and started chasing after her again,.

Zinnia’s plastered knees started bleeding, but she never stopped, and she kept looking back.

He kept getting closer and closer the more she ran.

When she looked behind for the third time, he was about to catch up.

Oh no!

She quickly faced front to continue, but then her body met with another body.

This one is familiar, and she hasn’t even looked up when she recognized who it is

The addictive scent… The ruthless aura… The dominating presence.

“Cameo” she called in a whisper.

His hand slipped behind her head, and he brought her face to his chest, trapping it there before grabbing the man’s neck in a snatch.

“I was…was only….playing with…her” he stammered, choking out blood already.

Killian’s perfect brows dipped, and he immediately lifted him up with his neck.

His legs left the ground, and he began foaming from the mouth, shaking sickly as his face turned red and sweaty.

“Oh boy, you played with the wrong person” Killian muttered, cracking a bone in his neck singlehandedly.
