“Welcome to Silver Quill,” Miss Loveson greeted as she stood before us.

I noticed Fort standing to the side; as soon as our eyes met, he waved. I returned the gesture with a brief smile before shifting my focus back to Miss Loveson.

“This is a highly independent group, and as I, too, carry many responsibilities as a teacher, I need someone to act as the representative for the freshmen.”

“Fort, over here, has the highest grades among all seniors, and consequently represents them. Now, who would like to volunteer among the freshmen?”

Most students turned their attention to Elias, and I found myself glancing at him, too. To my surprise, he was looking back at me with a spark of curiosity.

Part of me longed for such responsibility. Yet, with the demands of school and my job, I knew I couldn’t commit. Elias was undeniably well–suited for it, but it seemed he had other plans.

“I’m busy with my other clubs,” he stated firmly. “I don’t want to be the representative.”

The others respected his decision without protest. Just then, a hand shot up.

“Me,” Sienna declared, a small but confident smile adorning her lips. “I graduated as the valedictorian in high school and have participated in numerous extracurricular activities. I believe I am the best fit for the role, just after Alpha Elias.”

Her confidence was infectious, and the others were/quickly convinced. “No objections?” Miss Loveson asked, glancing around the room.

“Alright,” she clapped her hands together. “Miss Graves will be the freshmen’s representative, then.”

Sienna beamed with pride, shooting a glance in my direction like she was seeking my approval.

“Like any other normal club, I expect you all to get to know one another. In fact, the sole purpose of this first meeting is to facilitate that,” she continued. “I need to step out for a moment for a meeting with Mr. Winters. You may leave once the group session is over.”

With that, she waved us off before exiting the room. The seniors quickly took the opportunity to enliven the atmosphere.

“Welcome, welcome! There’s a lot of competition here, but outside of that, I hope we can all remain civil,” Fort began, casually settling down around us.

“Let’s take turns introducing ourselves, shall we?”

Sienna took the lead, flashing a sweet smile at the others. Elias, of course, required little introduction, as most already knew who he was.

When it came my turn, my heart raced against my chest, but I managed to maintain my composure,

“Hi, my name is Arden, and I’m froin the West Lake Pack.”

“Oh,” one of the older girls exclaimed, her eyes widening. “You’re from the same pack as Sienna. Do you two know each other?”

“Not really,” I replied, noticing the smirk of amusement that danced on her lips. “Thank you for the warm welcome.”

I settled back down while the others continued their introductions.

“When are the competitions scheduled to begin?” Sienna asked eagerly.

Fort, appearing relaxed, waved her question off. “It’s the first meeting. Let’s keep academia at bay for today. The Moon Goddess knows that’s going to be our constant topic for the rest of the year.”

“For now, let’s discuss more casual matters,” he emphasized.

A charismatic senior named Cecily shook her head in amusement. “You’re so carefree. Must be nice to have so many academic points.”

Fort shrugged lightly. “What can I say? Nothing beats the mind.”

Cecily sighed. “You won’t surpass Elias and the other Alphas, though. Their points seem to be socially distancing themselves from the rest of us.”

Fort raised both hands in playful surrender. “I don’t have any plans on catching up with them. I’m loyal to you, aren’t I?” he asked, nudging Cecily’s shoulder, which caused her cheeks to flush a deep shade of red.

“Oh, get a room!” another senior called out, prompting groans from the others. Yet, I couldn’t help but

smile.

So, they were in a relationship? I thought it was rare in this school to witness such loyalty–yet it wasn’t completely

gone.

“Yeah, it’s hard catching up to your points,” a male senior chimed in, leaning closer to Elias. He attempted

r to throw a casual arm around his shoulder, but the icy aura emanating from Elias made him withdraw it immediately.

“It’s getting harder with all the True Alphas around,” he continued, frustration seeping into his tone. “Nearly all the women on campus exclusively want them. My only chance here is by meeting the virgin and securing a night with her.”

There it was the dreaded topic about me. Why were they so obsessed with it in the first place? Before I could stop myself, I opened my mouth to speak.

“Why… does the school have this system? And what’s with the obsession surrounding someone’s purity?”

The conversation fell into an uncomfortable silence, and I pursed my lips, suddenly regretting my question. Elias turned to me with a small smirk while Sienna wore her disdain openly on her face.

“Well, that’s a first in a while,” Fort muttered. “I guess we’ve become so accustomed to it that we don’t even bother questioning the system. It’s what others thrive on.”

I tightened my lips. “Hasn’t anyone else found it strange?”
