“Or that you pass a class,” Alpha Benjamin says.
“Or that you find a way to defeat the Beast,” Alpha Daniel says.
“There are a lot of reasons why you could and should thank your fellow Alphas. If you’re giving away more than you’re receiving, perhaps you need to think long and hard about why that is,” Alpha James says. “If you’re doing well, you can afford to be generous.
He looks around, waiting for more questions. “Points are disseminated. every night during dinner for the previous twenty–four hours. Yes, we do it publicly and yes you have to say why you are giving the points,” he says, looking over at the assistants before looking back at us. “We do it publicly so that you can clearly see who your competition is. Does it put a target on your back? Possibly. Or maybe it just gives others the necessary incentive to work harder.”
“Do instructors still earn points?” Alpha Will asks, making me frown.
“Fuck yeah we do! I love earning more points than the young Alphas.” Alpha James says, smirking at us.
I smile at his enthusiasm. Once an Alpha, always an Alpha.
When all questions have been answered, Alpha James dismisses us. I‘ m sure the others‘ brains are swirling with the information we just learned, I know mine is. But I have work to do tonight.
I walk over to Haley. “I’m going to drop this off then we can. eet down here and go for that walk?”

“I’ll be here,” she says.
“Excellent.”
I turn to walk out, seeing Noah walking over to Emma, and Ezra coming up to Charlotte.
“Hi, Charlotte. I’m Alpha Ezra. I thought maybe we could talk and get to know each other a bit.”
“Okay,” she says.
I walk out of the room and see Logan and Liam heading outside to go for a run. I shake my head as I jog upstairs. Those two will be lucky if their arrogance doesn’t get in the way of them graduating.
Now that we’re finally at the Academy, it’s time for me to show Christina what it will be like for her in the classroom and also for me to make her come. I’m more excited about that than I should be. Almost as excited as I am about tasting her, but that’s still a few days off.
As we all begin to leave after our meeting, I walk up to Christina who is watching the young Alphas approach their partners. Well, three of them anyway. Logan and Liam walk out.
“Well, that’s disappointing,” Mia says, shaking her head. “They’re not even going to make an effort.”
“Are you really surprised? Considering who we’re assigned to?” Sylvie asks.
“Nope.”
“Christina,” I say, as I approach.

“Hello. Sebastian. Where did you want to meet tonight?”

“I’d like to meet in the classroom, let you get a feel for being in the front of the class. How do you feel about that?” I ask her.
“I’m nervous,” she says honestly. “But I think I need to do it. Like you said, better now than on Tuesday night.”
“Exactly.” I say.
“Take your bathrobe, Christina. Change in the bathroom and walk out in it. That will be something else you’ll have to get used to. I’d start tonight because it’s not something that is immediately comfortable,” Sylvie says.
“Agreed.” Mia says to her.
She nods. “I think I should have brought a different bathrobe,” she
says.
“We have some in storage. Grab one if you want it. I keep them stocked for this class,” Sylvie says to her.
“Thanks,” she says before turning back to me. “I guess I’ll meet you there?”
I nod. “I’ll go get set up.”
I walk to the classroom that is designed specifically for this class. Five is a large class of Alphas. Usually, there are empty beds between the tables which gives the partners a bit more privacy, but we won’t have that this semester.

walks in Tuesday night, then I go check the table.
I’ve just made sure that the locking mechanism is working so the table won’t collapse while she’s on it and that the heat is turned on when she walks in from the bathroom area. She looks around, holding her bathrobe closed tightly at her chest. It’s a fluffy white bathrobe with matching slippers that all the partners wear for this class.
I give her a minute to take it in then hold out my hand to help her up the steps as she walks over.
