THE SCHOOL VISITOR - ALPHA KING
1253 Words
Aldrich Vargos- The King of all Alpha's of wolves.
Six years before he found his mate...
Aldrich Vargos stepped out of the black armored car, the doors opening with militaristic precision. The campus of Vargos Institute of Technology rose before him like a steel fortress, glass corridors reflecting the cold winter sun, laboratories humming with innovation, and banners fluttering with the blue crest of the Vargos lineage.
To humans, it was the most prestigious private school in the city.
To the wolves who hid behind their bloodlines, it was neutral territory. A sanctuary.
He adjusted his charcoal coat, the embroidered royal sigil hidden beneath the lapel. In this world, he wasn’t the Alpha King, ruler of the Hidden Dominion, the first blood of the Vargos line.
Here… he was the bachelor CEO, the mysterious billionaire every news outlet wanted to touch but could never reach.
Security bowed subtly, wolves recognizing their king. Humans saw only a powerful man arriving with too many bodyguards.
The wind carried his scent, the unmistakable aura of dominance thick and intoxicating. It spreads through the air like wildfire.
The moment he walked through the gate, screams erupted.
“Is that him? Aldrich Vargos?!”
“Oh my God—he’s so handsome!”
“Look at his eyes!”
“CEO Vargos! I love you!”
A wave of young students pressed against the railings, phones raised. The girls looked at him like he was a living dream. While the boys stared with envy, or admiration, they weren’t sure which.
But none of them knew the truth. His blood was ancient. His power was silent. And the beast inside him was older than any of them.
Aldrich walked forward, with his unreadable facial expression, power wrapped in elegance. His steps echoed through the polished hallway, each movement slow, controlled. His eyes, silver flecked with shadow, never wandered, but he missed nothing.
They scream because they see the mask, he thought.
Not the monster behind it.
Students parted like water before him. Teachers bowed without knowing why. Even the human-wolves, those who carried diluted blood, felt their knees ache with the instinct to submit.
The double doors of the administration wing opened.
Brian Vargos stood waiting.
The man was lean compared to Aldrich, an Omega hiding brilliance behind soft gestures. His eyes lowered immediately in a deeply respectful bow, though to humans it looked like a warm greeting.
“Welcome, cousin,” Brian said, voice gentle. “Thank you for coming to the campus.”
Aldrich’s gaze softened just slightly, only for Brian, never for others.
“You asked for a meeting,” Aldrich replied. “I assume it’s important.”
Brian smiled nervously. “Everything here is important. These students will be the bridge between both worlds someday.”
Aldrich nodded. “Then show me.”
They walked side by side through glass corridors overlooking training fields, robotics labs, and simulation rooms where holographic projections danced like living beasts. Students watched from a distance, whispering.
“He’s really here…”
“He looks like a king…”
“No, a god.”
Brian explained the programs, the scholarships, the hidden files. His words were academic, but Aldrich’s mind drifted toward something else.
Instinct. A pulse, and a heartbeat. A scent that didn’t belong in a school of young wolves. Something old. Something powerful. Something hidden. Like a threat sleeping beneath the floorboards.
Brian stopped at the balcony overlooking the courtyard. Hundreds of students stared up at Aldrich, hope and longing mixed with curiosity.
“You know,” Brian said quietly, “to them you’re a symbol. A dream. A legend they read in magazines.”
Aldrich’s lips curved faintly.
“Let them dream. Better a legend than a target.”
Brian inhaled sharply, understanding the weight behind the words.
The Alpha King turned his gaze to the crowd, the future of both worlds gathered in a single campus. He raised one gloved hand in silent acknowledgement, and the courtyard exploded in cheers.
But behind his eyes… the beast was awake.
The crown he hid felt heavy. He wasn’t here only for Brian. He came because something threatened the peace he built with blood.
And in this school… the first shadow had already appeared.
The applause below still echoed long after Alpha Aldrich stepped away from the balcony. Brian walked beside him, trying to hide the tension in his shoulders.
Omega wolves were sensitive, every shift in the air, every flicker in Aldrich’s scent, every rigid line in his jaw, Brian noticed.
“You sensed it too,” Brian whispered when they entered a quieter hallway. Not a question, but a truth.
Aldrich’s eyes narrowed.
“There’s an Alpha presence here. Not ours. Not registered. His scent is unfamiliar" His voice was low, like distant thunder.
Brian swallowed hard. “We screened every student. The only ranked wolves are in the Academy Program- none above Delta.”
Aldrich stopped walking. His gaze drifted toward the reinforced glass overlooking the campus garden. Beyond the flowers and the polished stones, he saw a movement... a single figure sitting beneath a black pine, reading a book alone.
A girl.
Her uniform was simple, but her posture held a strange discipline. She wasn’t staring at her phone like the others, wasn’t whispering with her friends, wasn’t watching him like he was a god.
She was calm. Silent and so focussed on the book that she was reading.
But that wasn’t what caught his attention.
Her scent slipped through the air..wild, cold, and ancient. Like midnight forests and blood moon nights.
Human-wolves carried diluted wolf traits. They smelled soft, almost indistinguishable from humans. Only good training could reveal them.
But she smelled like a secret.
Brian followed his gaze.
“You’re looking at Margery Colt,” he said quietly. “Scholarship student. Top of her class. No known wolf heritage.”
Aldrich’s jaw tightened.
“No known heritage means someone hid it well.”
Brian hesitated. His fingers trembled slightly, an Omega reacting to the predator beside him. "Aldrich… she’s just a girl.”
Aldrich didn’t look away from the window. “No one is just anything in my world.”
He turned away and continued walking, but the air around him shifted, like the corridors bowed with each step, absorbing his rising dominance.
As they passed another hall, the door to the Training Wing opened. A group of students spilled out, sweaty and laughing, holding simulation helmets.
Among them was a tall boy with dark hair, shoulders straight, sparks of arrogance in his eyes. A young Alpha in disguise.
Aldrich didn’t need to smell him. He could feel him.
The boy froze when their eyes met. Not fear, recognition.
Aldrich stepped closer, his presence suffocating the air around them. The students went silent, unaware of the invisible battle humming between two bloodlines.
“What is your name,” Aldrich asked calmly.
The boy straightened, trying to hide his instinct to bow. "Eren Colt,” he replied, voice tight. “Engineering Division.”
Brian’s head snapped toward Aldrich "Colt. Same surname."
The scent clicked into place. Brother and sister. Two wolves hiding in plain sight.
Aldrich tilted his head slightly, studying the boy with merciless precision. "You’re not from any of the wolf clans under the Dominion,” Aldrich said.
Eren didn’t deny it. His jaw locked. "We’re nobody,” he answered. “Just students.”
Aldrich smiled softly, but it shows how cold and dangerous he is. “No wolf is nobody.”
