Chapter 21
Wow, I have no idea how that is ever possible.
“Ah, welcome, Lyra Diamond. Please, sit.
I jamp, startled by the voice. A man steps out from a dark cosper of the room. He looks middle aged, with thin, scanty red hair and a button nose that makes him look less intimidating than I expected. He sits behind his desk and gestures for me to take the chair across from him.
“I’m Richard,” he says, leaning back in his chair. “The Lycan King’s Gamma and the Principal of Krypton Academy.”
“Did I do something wrong?’ I blurt out before he can even continue, my voice high pitched and thin. I grip the edge of the table hard, trying not to let my fears overcome me.
He smiles, though it doesn’t really reach his eyes. “You didn’t do anything wrong, Lyra.”
He leans forward, tapping his desk. “As you can see, every activity and everyone that walks through the Krypton gates is monitored. The moment you stepped into this Academy, you were already being processed. I am here to inform you that you have been officially admitted as a Level I wolf student.”
Admitted.
The word echoes in my head, over and over. I feel like the floor just disappeared under my feet. Did this man just say I’ve been admitted to the academy?
Did I actually hear him right?
Before I can stop myself, I shoot up from my seat. “Are you for real?!” I yell in a cracked voice as tears gather in my eyes.
That’s when I realize how unprofessional I’m being. I immediately sit back down my face heating up.
“I-I’m sorry, Gamma. I’m just having a hard time believing this.”
The Principal chuckles softly. “It’s understandable. Krypton Academy is a once-in-a-life opportunity. It is the only way to become a truly powerful and
respectable wolf in the kingdom. We’re happy to welcome you on board.”
“Um… is Lycan Prince Kai aware of this, Gamma?” I ask in a tiny voice.
Gamma Richard just smiles at me. “Of course he is. In fact, he even gave a word of recommendation in your favour, Lyra.”

I swallow hard, trying to keep the tears from falling as he hands me a pen and some paperwork. I really hope this isn’t a dream or my imagination. What if this is just some sick joke made by the prince? Goddess, to hope not.
Fill out your information here,” he says. Once I’m finished, he hands me a silver Krypton badge with my name engraved on it. Oh Goddess! Wyndra howls
joyfully within me.
He points to a nearby shelf. “As a student, you also have access to your own gadgets.
I stand up and walk over to the shelf. The gadgets are even labeled. A tablet, a phone, and a wristwatch with my name on it I pick them up, trying contain the excitement bubbling in my chest. I’ve never owned anything this nice in my life.
“Your tablet has your entire schedule for classes and training already installed,” Richard explains. “It will in things faster his you However, as strojack know that we have weekly assessment tests. If your overall performance falls below 47% three times in a row, you’ he pist on protuman ke

doesn’! improve, you’ll be expelled.”
Wow, talk about strict.
“Understood, Gamma, thank you. I say nodding firmly.
When I step out of the principal’s office, I turn on the tablet. The screen comes to life, and a virtual female voice speaks.
“Hello, Lyra Diamond. I am Parish, your personal virtual assistant at Krypton Academy. Welcome!”
I grin, feeling excited as the voice continues. “For today, your first class began at nine o’clock. You are currently eight minutes late. Your first lecture is History of Wolf Origins, located in the Level 1 building.”.
Parish displays a digital map and my timetable on the screen, making it easy for me to find my way.
I take a deep breath, clutching the tablet to my chest, and start following the directions.
I’m really doing this. I’m actually a student. Well, a student and a slave.
