Chapter 150 The Hunt For fianus
SERAPHINA
“Eliminate your competition?” I echoed, my brows furrowing in confusion.
But all of us Alphas were each other’s competition. Every single one.
Alpha Gideon’s voice rolled through the forest, steady and commanding. “The Alpha instructors have placed a page bearing each of your names at a location corresponding to your current position. Your task is to find your page. Once you do, you automatically qualify for the next trial and are permitted to return to the Academy building immediately.”
He finished, his words deliberate, his tone final.
I stood frozen, dumbfounded.
That was it? We just had to find our page? Nothing more?
“The task begins now!” Alpha Gideon thundered.
At once, the forest exhaled. Life rushed back into it, the rustle of leaves, the calls of distant creatures, the pounding of paws and footsteps as Alphas shot into motion. I too launched forward, instinct urging me to move.
“Isn’t the task too simple?” Phina’s growl rumbled in my mind, heavy with suspicion.
I agreed grimly. “He said eliminate your competition, didn’t he? Then how could the trial be as simple as finding the page with our name-”
My thought sliced off like a blade.
Ahead, an Alpha lunged at a tree, snatching a sheet of parchment from a low- hanging branch. I slowed instinctively, my gaze narrowing. The page bore not his name but another Alpha’s. That’s when, laughing wickedly, he tore it in half.
“You’re finished, asshole!” he bellowed, a manic gleam in his eyes.
My body locked.
The page disintegrated, turning gray and dull as it fluttered lifelessly to the ground.
A chill shot down my spine, an electric horror crackling through me. That’s when the truth slammed into me with brutal clarity…

This wasn’t just about finding your page. This was about destroying the pages of others.
One simple tear, and an Alpha, no matter how strong, no matter how high their rank, was eliminated from the competition without even a fight.
If someone else found my page before I did and tore it apart…I would be erased from the Academy as if I had never even set foot here.
Phina’s roar reverberated inside me, fierce and unrelenting. “WE HAVE TO FIND OUR PAGE. NOW!”
A fire ignited in my chest, and I tore across the forest at full speed, every muscle burning with urgency. After my brutal fight with Reed, none dared to call me Tiny or mock me to my face anymore. They pretended friendship, wore their false smiles like masks but I knew the truth. Deep in their hearts, they resented me. If any one of them found my page first, they would shred it without hesitation.
I had to be faster.
I ran and ran, darting left, right, scanning every tree and branch with desperate precision. My breaths came sharp and ragged.
“Nothing…” I hissed under my breath, halting for only a heartbeat before pivoting and sprinting in another direction. Three paths split from where I began north, south, and east. I had scoured the north with no luck. South it would be.
Branches whipped at my arms as I surged forward. That was when I saw it. A white page dangling from the bark of an ancient oak.
My heart leapt, adrenaline flooding me. I dashed toward it, claws itching to seize it only to falter as my eyes focused.
It wasn’t my name.
It bore the name of another Alpha. A high–ranking one. Fourth in the Academy’s leaderboard,
Before I could even move, a deep, guttural snarl split the air behind me.
“Don’t you fucking dare touch that!”
I spun, and in the same instant, the Alpha launched at me, his body a blur of

fury and muscle. His teeth bared for my throat.
My legs moved before thought could catch up. I pivoted sharply and drove my heel into his gut. The force of impact made him grunt, his body folding. Without hesitation, I twisted and kicked again, this time striking his head. He crashed to the ground, groaning, momentarily stunned.
Panting, I stared down at him, the page still clutched in my hand. Then, slowly, I crouched and let it flutter down onto his chest.
“Not everyone is as low as you,” I muttered coldly. “You may be Hierarchy on the leaderboard, but to me you’re just another wolf.”
Straightening, I stepped past him without another glance, my voice dropping to a quiet murmur “You’re not even worth my competition. So enjoy your page.”
With that, I disappeared back into the trees.
The irritation of wasting even a single minute on him tightened every muscle in my body. My breath came sharp as I leapt over a thick root in my path, eyes snapping from tree to tree, scanning desperately for a page that bore my name. Nothing.

She wasn’t wrong. I remembered the maps of the Academy’s vast territory, the ones I had memorized religiously every time I passed through the grand hall. To the east lay the river, winding along the edge of the forest. Empty. Untouched. No Alpha had reason to wander there.
