CHAPTER 19
~Author's POV~
By the time they all arrived at the classroom, it was too silent. Everyone had their thoughts and waited for someone to break the silence.
Sunlight filtered through dusty windows, casting pale lines across the floor, desks, chairs and on their faces.

They stood apart, instinctively claiming space with posture alone, though no one sat or spoke. Each Alpha marked the room with his presence like a silent battlefield.

He leaned lazily against a desk, arms crossed, one eyebrow cocked with casual arrogance. "So… what's the plan? Stare at each other until we all combust, or are we actually going to talk about the Moon Goddess deciding to be extra dramatic this year?"
No one answered.
