The Nexus: Alpha's mute mate

Chapter 2

Khloe's POV

Adele tripled out training time immediately we found out that I'm fighting Sophie. Sophie might have bought her way into the Diamond class but she's still way better than me. Adele walked into the training room with lots of moonlight splinters.

"These are to help you heal faster in case you get injured." Adele said. She's treating the competition as if it is a fight to the death. I imagine the excitement that would have been on her face if she saw her name against Sophie rather than mine.

"You are a very good fighter. I wonder why you've made yourself believe otherwise. Hell, you've beaten me countless times during our fights." Adele said, trying to make me feel motivated.

We began practicing our kicks and jabs for the coming days. I transformed quite a number of times into my purely white wolf. Adele's the only person that has seen my wolf and the reaction on her face is always very priceless when she sees her.

Every Friday, the academy has training sessions. The training sessions are always very hectic and tiring that it wears every one out including the teachers. While we waited for the teacher that would take us, I was reading an historical book on the special wolves. They last time they existed was over a thousand wolves. There were four special wolves and one Nexus who combined the powers of all the other wolves. It was very enjoyable reading about the past. The pictures were quite graphic and the texts were captivating and thrilling.

Adele was across the room, talking with her friends. She had invited me but I just preferred the company of the books I borrowed from the Whitmore library.

"Get settled everyone." A man, named Elias said as he walked in followed by a very captivating person. For the first time, I was frozen by the looks of a person. He walked with so much confidence and exudes so much positive aura that I was swept off my feet. It was after taking a closer look that I realized that he is Alexander Rain, the strongest and most powerful alpha teacher in the Whitmore Academy, controlling a pack of the best of the best. I've read about him in various books, which includes that he's one of the extremely few alphas that can maintain a semi-wolf form, where they're still standing as humans, but have their wolf features out. Being the youngest and the best even makes him more interesting. He stood very tall and skinnier than the pictures I've seen. The pictures do not do him justice as he is a billion times better than the images.

"I'm Alexander and I'll be taking your class today." He said as he walked closer to the middle of the room.

I could not take my eyes off him.

The room was a bit rowdy for a while as heads hit heads, trying to figure out what to do.

"Can we begin?" Alexander asked from the middle of the class where we all surrounded him, sitting on the floor.

As he turned to move around the room, his eyes met mine in an electrifying way. I could feel every muscle in my body call for his as our eyes locked. I tried to take my eyes off him but I couldn't or at least, I didn't want to.

"Today, rather than the usual training, I want to see how well you'd perform in your wolf forms." Alexander said, taking his eyes off me.

"Yes sir." The room of two hundred wolves echoed.

My eyes move from him to Adele, who gives me a wink. She might have noticed what has just happened and she would not give me a minute rest about it.

My mind began wondering about why he looked at me for such a long time. Does he think I'm not fit for this class? Is he wondering why I'm in this class? Does he think of me the way others do?

Alexander walked towards Elias and whispered some words into his ears before leaving the room. I wondered where he's going to.

"Okay. I have the class list here and in five minutes, I'll pair you with the person you'll fight against and also assign you numbers. Once your number is called, you're next." Elias said as he called the list very quickly.

He called my name against Jasmine. Jasmine is as powerful as Adele. I wonder why I'm so unlucky to fight against her right in front of Alexander.

"Remember the rules of the game. Fight with all you have. This is not a fight to the death. When your opponent surrenders, let them be. This is just to help you become better warriors and learn from the mistakes of others." Alexander said, walking back into the room. It was as if he walked in with more handsome features.

Once again, our eyes meet and I feel a bit too exposed, I draw back into the crowd, far deep.

"Shall we?" Alexander asked as Elias called the first pair.

Their clothes ripped off as they turned into their wolves and began fighting.

After each fight, Alexander would point out mistakes and give tips to help.

"69!!" Elias called my number and Jasmine walked to the middle of the class.

I reluctantly walked to the middle. Jasmine chuckled in future victory.

Khloe had already fought her opponent, hers was quite fast. She beat her opponent in just three steps.

"Can I get the names?" I heard Alexander ask.

"Jasmine Georgia against Khloe Ashley." Elias said and Alexander nodded.

"Let's finish this off very quickly." Jasmine said, turning into her wolf, a big brown wolf.

I was very scared when I saw her transform. I looked at Adele who was close at a corner in the room. She smiled and gave me a reassuring look, I turned my head to Alexander who looks very interested in the outcome of this fight. I jump and turn into my wolf. There's a look of amazement from everyone as they see my wolf. Jasmine snarls and a came at me with full speed.
