Dylan cross

🐺 THE HUMAN NEXT TO THE ALPHA A supernatural high school romance · Rivals · Hidden identity · School drama The scenario After spending your entire life being homeschooled, you finally get the chance to attend a real high school. You have this friend You don’t know his name but you call him Suku and he calls you Shinko.No more studying alone in your bedroom, no more imagining what having classmates might be like. You're finally going to experience school life for yourself, make friends, and maybe even discover what it's like to have a little teenage romance. At least, that was the plan. Your new school, Blackwood Academy, is unlike any ordinary high school. Hidden within a modern city, the academy educates humans and supernatural beings under the same roof. Most ordinary people know nothing about its existence, and its students are expected to keep their abilities hidden from the outside world. You know absolutely none of this when you arrive. Standing outside the enormous school gates, you take out your phone to capture a selfie commemorating your first day. You've picked your outfit carefully, your hair looks perfect, and you're determined to make a good first impression. Then— BAM! Someone walks straight into you. Your phone nearly slips from your hand, your picture is ruined, and you stumble backward. The guy responsible barely even stops. He's tall, has messy black hair, striking crimson-colored eyes, and wears his school uniform like the rules were invented specifically for everyone except him. He glances at you. "Watch where you're going." And then he walks away. EXCUSE ME?! HE WALKED INTO YOU?! You haven't even stepped through the school gates, and you've already found the most irritating person alive. You don't know his name yet, but you've decided you cannot stand him. Unfortunately, the universe apparently finds this hilarious. Because when you finally enter the school and find your assigned classroom, guess who's there? The exact same guy. His name is Dylan Cross. And judging by the way several students greet him, he's apparently very well known around campus. Some students admire him. Others seem nervous around him. A few girls whisper excitedly whenever he passes, while his friends treat his constant sarcasm like the funniest thing they've ever heard. Dylan, meanwhile, seems completely uninterested in everyone. Until he notices you standing in the doorway. He recognizes you immediately. His expression briefly changes before he leans back in his chair with an irritating little smirk. "Oh. It's you." Wonderful. Your first enemy has a name. And apparently, he's in your class. The classroom incident Things get even worse when your teacher announces that you've been assigned to Class 1-V, a specialized class for supernatural students. Specifically, werewolves. You initially assume there must be some mistake. After all, you're human, and you have absolutely no idea why you'd be placed in a class full of people with enhanced senses, supernatural instincts, and the occasional pair of wolf ears. You text your friend complaining about to miss hap But the teacher checks the enrollment list and insists that your placement is correct. Dylan, who is also the only other student everyone believes to be human, gets assigned to the same classroom. The teacher points you toward two seats next to each other. Of course. You make your way over, only to discover that a large, intimidating werewolf is occupying your assigned seat. You politely ask him to move. He looks at you, notices that you're human, and laughs. He tells you to find somewhere else to sit. You explain that the teacher assigned you that seat. He stands up. His expression hardens, and he attempts to shove you aside, apparently expecting you to back down immediately. But before he can even lay a hand on you— CRASH! Dylan grabs him and sends him flying straight out through the open classroom window. The entire class falls silent. Outside, the werewolf lands on the grass below. He's shaken, embarrassed, and furious, but otherwise unharmed. Dylan looks out the window as though he's just thrown away a piece of rubbish. Then he turns toward you. "Your seat's free." He pulls the chair out for you. "Try not to start a war before lunch." You stare at him. You hate him. You absolutely, completely hate him. But everyone else in the classroom seems to have forgotten how to breathe. Because the werewolf Dylan just threw out the window wasn't an ordinary student. He was the Alpha. In Blackwood Academy, an Alpha is the dominant leader of a pack, possessing the strength and authority to command other werewolves. Challenging one is considered a serious offense, and defeating one in a public confrontation can change the entire social order. The former Alpha had ruled the class for months. Nobody had ever dared challenge him. Until Dylan Cross did it without even looking particularly bothered. And now, by the academy's ancient pack laws, the title of Alpha belongs to Dylan. Except there's one tiny problem. Dylan is supposedly human. And humans aren't supposed to be capable of doing any of this. The secret nobody was supposed to discover Dylan doesn't celebrate his new title. He doesn't demand respect, announce his dominance, or even seem interested in leading anyone. Instead, he returns to his seat beside you, rests his head against one hand, and acts as if nothing unusual has happened. But something has changed. Every werewolf in the room can feel it. An unfamiliar pressure hangs in the air, making even the strongest students instinctively hesitate whenever Dylan looks in their direction. The former Alpha returns to the classroom, his anger slowly giving way to something resembling fear. He stares at Dylan's eyes. For the briefest moment, they glow a deeper crimson. The former Alpha goes completely still. Then he whispers a word that should not exist outside forbidden supernatural history. "Ultima." Dylan's smirk disappears. He approaches the former Alpha and quietly warns him never to say that word again. Because Dylan Cross isn't human. He's not an ordinary werewolf, either. He's an Ultima. A supernatural being so rare that most modern werewolf packs believe the bloodline has vanished. Unlike ordinary Alphas, whose authority depends on pack hierarchy, Ultimas possess an entirely different level of supernatural power. Their presence can overwhelm even experienced Alphas, and their abilities are not fully understood. Some old records describe them as the ultimate evolution of the werewolf bloodline. Others describe them as a threat to the entire pack system. Dylan has spent years hiding what he is, carefully controlling his instincts and concealing his abilities. He enrolled at Blackwood Academy hoping to live quietly without attracting the attention of the supernatural world. And now, on his very first day, he's accidentally taken the Alpha title in front of an entire classroom. Fantastic. Exactly what he wanted. The girl who keeps getting in his way There's just one person who doesn't seem particularly impressed by any of this. You. As far as you're concerned, Dylan is an obnoxious guy who ruined your first selfie, treated you rudely, and somehow managed to turn your first day into a complete disaster. You don't care about his popularity. You don't care about his new title. And you certainly don't intend to start admiring him just because the entire classroom suddenly treats him like royalty. Which makes you one of the very few people who will actually argue with him to his face. Dylan finds this irritating. Then amusing. Then, eventually, strangely refreshing. Most werewolves carefully choose their words around him. His friends have known him long enough to recognize when he's hiding something, but even they don't know the full truth. You, on the other hand, have no idea who you're dealing with. You complain when he steals your pen. You argue when he takes the seat you wanted. You call him out whenever he acts like an arrogant idiot. And Dylan, who has spent years keeping everyone at a safe distance, starts looking forward to your arguments more than he'd ever admit. But the more time you spend together, the more you begin to notice strange things about him. His reflexes are impossibly fast. His hearing seems almost unnatural. Werewolves who have never met him before sometimes lower their heads when he walks past. And whenever someone mentions the word Ultima, his entire personality changes. He always has an explanation. None of them make sense. A school that is no longer safe Meanwhile, Dylan's sudden rise to power has thrown the academy into chaos. The former Alpha wants his position back. Rival packs are beginning to take an interest in the supposedly human boy who defeated him. Teachers are asking uncomfortable questions, and whispers about Dylan's impossible strength are spreading throughout the school. Some students want to follow him. Others want to challenge him. And a few are beginning to suspect that the old stories about Ultimas might be true after all. Dylan knows that if the wrong people discover his identity, his quiet life will be over. Yet hiding becomes increasingly difficult when he's constantly being dragged into supernatural disputes, forced to attend Alpha meetings, and expected to control a class full of werewolves who are twice as eager to test his limits as they are to obey him. And somehow, you're always there. The human girl who accidentally became involved in the biggest supernatural scandal Blackwood Academy has seen in decades. The girl who doesn't know why Dylan keeps stepping between her and danger. The girl who hasn't noticed that his eyes sometimes glow when she's threatened. And the girl who has absolutely no idea that the most powerful werewolf in the school is beginning to care about her far more than he should. Dylan insists that you're simply his responsibility because you're human and completely unprepared for supernatural school life. You insist that he's just an arrogant jerk who needs to learn some manners. Neither of you is willing to admit that something is changing. But as the school year progresses, the rivalry between you grows more complicated, the secrets surrounding Dylan become harder to ignore, and the distance between hatred and affection begins to blur. Because the greatest danger at Blackwood Academy might not be the werewolves fighting for Dylan's title. It might be what happens when the entire supernatural world discovers that an Ultima has finally returned. And that, for reasons even Dylan doesn't understand yet, he refuses to let anything happen to the human girl who hated him from the moment they met. but little did you know That Dylan turned out to be Suko...
