The Alpha’s Rejected Daughter by Humble Smith
Chapter 52

Chapter 52

The registration went well with no sign of suspicion. I was able to get through all the processes and was given my uniform. They tested my ability, and I tried as much as possible to show the normal range of ability for a werewolf of my age.

The tasks were too easy for me, but I pretended like it was taking a lot of my energy, making fake groans and grunts while scaling through successfully.

The instructor was proud of me and clearly stated that he sees a warrior in me. I was told to go back home and resume properly the next day, but I insisted on staying back to watch even though I wouldn’t be joining in the training yet. This was just for me to watch closely in order to blend properly.

It was really a crucial moment of my visit, and if I fail at this point and become a suspect, every plan I have will be shattered. I needed to see how the werewolves who were in the same class with me go about their training session because I have to try as much as possible to act the same way as them and not show an obvious extra strength, which will make them doubt my identity as a wolf

1 stood at the far end, watching each and every one of them, both the boys and girls, since there was no gender separation. My focus was on their reactions and the effect of every part of the training on them, and I didn’t even notice there was a lady I was keeping distracted.

It was not until she kept failing in the training with constant scolding from the instructor that she caught my attention. A beautiful blonde-haired girl with bright, clear skin and pretty brown eyes. She is among those in the front row and seemed to be among the best, so the instructor was able to figure out that she was lacking at that moment.

“Where is your mind?” She had yelled at the girl, and she only shook her head and muttered a no while going on with the training sections. The way she kept stealing glances at me and would always find free time to feed her eyes on me made me realize I was the one making her train badly.

I was happy as the class finally ended and I was able to capture all I needed for my pretense the next day. I was also lucky that the instructor seemed to like me. The man was amazed by my skill when performing th

initial task as a beginner.

“Are you joining us tomorrow!” A voice spoke to me from behind as I stepped out of the gate alone. I flinched a bit since I wasn’t expecting anyone to talk to me. Mariam had gone back home after bringing me here, so there was no one I should be expecting to speak to me.

I turned my face in the direction of the voice, and it fell on the young lady with brown eyes. Those eyes gazed into mine gorgeously with her sweet smile as she flipped the strayed hair covering her face.

“Yes, of course. I am now part of this pack and should join in every important activity.” I replied with a brief smile.

That’s good. My name is Nina, and you?” She gestured for a handshake.

“Stan.” I muttered, taking her hand, and was really surprised at how soft and tender these palms were. They were even cold. and seemed to be the warmth my hand needed, forcing me to extend the handshake till she looked at me with a questioning expression.

“Sorry.” I laughed, freeing her hands, “It’s been long. I felt such soft, petite, and tender palms, cold, and felt so good.”

She blushed hard, covering her face as she tried to hold back the uncontrollable smile.

“Your hands aren’t bad to shake either, Mr. Stan. And welcome to our class. I saw you handling your initial task effortlessly. Why were you pretending it was hard for you?” She asked, and my brows creased together as 1 frowned at her.

“What do you mean? Isn’t that task supposed to be hard? Carrying a huge load on the back and…*

“It wasn’t hard for you. I am good at reading counts, and I saw yours were fake. You are really strong, I must say, and it’s clear you will be my challenge as the best student of the year. She chuckled, and I only shrugged, not knowing what exactly to

say.

“You are still the best. I am just a learner and a newcomer. Besides, I don’t want to be the best. I just want to come to class,

train, and go back home. No challenge with anyone.” I said clearly that I was slightly increasing my pace.

I wasn’t comfortable with the path the destruction was heading down. I don’t want to say something that would draw attention to myself, and this girl just looks like someone I have to stay far away from. How was she able to know I was feigning during that task? From there, she may find out about my mask and, at the end, figure out that I am a Lycan, and that is where everything will get exposed.

“I will like to be your friend,” she offered, also picking up her pace to catch up with me.

“I don’t want to have any friends. I’m sorry” I raised my hand in gesture.

“Why? We can be training together, pushing each other to become better. I just saw you at fright sight and realized we would be good colleagues and a motivation to each other.” She said it happily, but I was getting p i s s e d.

“Like I said earlier, no. Please go your way and leave me. I don’t need any friends. I stated it bluntly, and she stopped walking and folded her arms with a sad look.

“Please don’t do this to me. You are the only guy I have ever had the desire to be friends with, and it took a lot of courage to say it to you. Don’t break my heart by pushing me away, please.” She moaned out, her tone sounding like she would cry anytime soon, while I kept walking without turning.

“I don’t want a friend. It’s as simple as that.” I retorted without even turning back until I got home.

“Go bathe and take your food to the kitchen. After that, come and tell me how it all went,” Miriam said to me as soon as I greeted her with a hug.

In a few hours. I was done, and we both sat on the bed in the room while I relayed to her everything.

“I thought I told you that you should make friends and act normal

“I will make friends, but not with someone who has already read me to kriow I was faking the groans and grunts while carrying out the initial task. If she gets closer to me, one day she will read out my true identity.”

She nodded in agreement. “You are right. You both should stay away from each other, but make friends and stop claiming you don’t need friends. That brings attention to you.”

I slept that night, making imaginary scenes of how I would go by the next day, making sure nothing gave out my identity, but yet again. I didn’t think of my mask preventing me from sweating.

This was a huge thing that I should have really considered because there was no way I would explain how I am someone who doesn’t sweat. I was lucky the instructor didn’t notice it while I was going through the initial task. But during the training, there was no way I should not sweat,

I woke up early and got prepared as fast as I could to avoid being late. Coming late would give me that attention that I am running away from. Before 8:00, which was the time for class to begin, I was already in school, sitting on the desk that had been given to me with my name written on it.

I went way earlier. Around 7:00 am. No one else has arrived in the class, so I just sit and bend my head on the desk.

I don’t know how long I dozed off, but later on I was woken by a gentle tap. I jumped up, thinking class had begun while I was sleeping, but as soon as my head was raised, I saw that nobody else was in the class except Nina standing in front of me.

My eyes first flashed to the time, and it was 7 :1 7 a.m.I hadn’t even slept for long-

“You beat me to punctuality, for real. Dude.” She placed her hands on her waist and said, “And you say you aren’t ready to be friends with me so we can motivate and push each other to…

“Not again. Not again, please. Nina, I can have friends, but not with you. I don’t want to be your friend.” I snapped.

“Why? What did I do wrong to you? Please tell me.” She pleaded.

“Nothing. It’s just a choice, and I beg and hope you respect it.” I seethed, and her eyes dimmed in sadness again. She looked

at me with pain in her eyes before walking away to her desk, where she buried her face on it.

I looked away, not wanting to lie back again to avoid being asleep when class would begin. There will be no one to wake me up this time. I was lucky Nina did.

After some time, students started walking in, and anyone who did step in, both male and female, would feed their eyes on both me and Nina. They had seen our names as early as I actually didn’t know that their name and time of arrival to class were being recorded as soon as they crossed the door first thing in the morning.

The students must have seen our names first in wherever it’s been checked, which I don’t know because that’s what explains why they were staring at us weirdly, adding that it came earlier than Nina.

I later knew there was a device behind the door where you could click to see the first, second, and third earlycomers every day and the time they arrived.

Training began, and it was as easy as I thought since I wasn’t using my full Lycan abilities. It was tactical, tricky, and tedious; one has to use every one of their senses, being sharp and quick to respond.

Everyone does the training together, and as it went by, I began to notice the eyes on me and how everyone was constantly peering at me like I had grown two horns. Including the instructor.

I didn’t know why yet until Nina walked up to me and whispered.

“We have to find a way to cover it up, or your cover will be blown.” She had stylishly whispered, taking the place of the girl beside me in the row.

“What

“You aren’t sweating. It’s not normal. It actually occurs only if you begin to sweat right about now.”

This was the moment I found out I had messed up.
