Chapter 159
I watch as his face grows darker, angrier as I speak. I know I’m hitting a nerve, and I’ve reached the underlying issue for him. He’s intimidated by women in power.
“We started out the same, you and I. We were both arrogant, thinking that this Academy was going to be a breeze and that it was going to be one big party. But I figured out quickly that it was going to be a lot of work and I got my shit together. You, however, haven’t seemed to be able to figure that out. You’re still floundering in your own arrogance and you’re going to drown in it if you don’t make some changes. We’re already in week three. I’m not even sure if you can pull it together enough to pass in the time we have left. If you don’t figure yourself out soon, you really are going to fail. If that’s not what you want to have happen, get your head out of your ass. Be the Alpha you were born to be, because right now, no one is seeing that out of you, not your peers, not the assistants, and definitely not the instructors. And if your issue is with women in power, use the Dealing with Crisis class or this one to work through it. If you don’t want to talk publicly about it, then get with one of our instructs. I’ve seen every one of them make time to speak to an Alpha about problems they were having. That’s what they’re here for. These people are here because they were successful Alphas. You’re wasting an opportunity if you don’t take advantage of that.”
When I stop, Logan clenches his teeth, but no snarky comments come out of his mouth.
“Any follow up Alpha Logan?” Alpha James asks him.

“ No, Alpha.”
James nods, watching Logan before turning to the class. “ Any feedback from the rest of you? ”
No surprise Ezra’s, Tyler’s, and Christina’s hands shoot up.
“ Ezra. ”
“Well done, Liam. I’m not sure I could have maintained the level of objectivity that you did talking to Logan. I think you’ve quite possibly found the true root of why Logan is allowing himself to be defeated,” he says and the others nod.
“I would say, Alpha Logan, that Alpha Liam is right. Use this time to get the help you need to overcome whatever is keeping you from succeeding. If your issue is with women in power, then you will struggle when you find your mate. Our Lunas are meant to be our equals and if you can’t accept that in your mate bond, she may not be willing to accept you. You don’t have a lot of time left to pass this Academy, but if you need to talk, if you want my support, I’m happy to give it as long as you’re putting in the effort,” he says.
“Same. I would also add to what Alpha Ezra said. You chose a quick an easy bed partner when you first got on the train. I’m sure that was partly because she was easy and available, but now I wonder if it’s also because she wasn’t ranked. Noah suffered from her manipulations but you’re very lucky that it wasn’t you she tried to manipulate. She could have made sure she ended up pregnant and forced you into a mate bond you didn’t want. You need to be smarter about your relationships and learn to not be intimidated by strong women, because those women will be less likely to manipulate you into something you don’t want,” Christina says.

“ Agreed, ” Tyler says.
Noah shrugs. “I can try to help, but I’m busy digging myself out of a hole too, so I’m not sure how much help I can be. But I’m willing if you need it.”
I look back at Logan. “We’re all willing to help you, Logan. The only person in this room who seems unwilling to help you, is you. I would suggest that you think about that and the reasons behind it.”
“Well done, Liam. We’ll continue these discussions in our next class. Class dismissed,” Alpha James says, ending the class.

I have no idea what Sebastian is planning for tonight in sex class, but he’s been grinning at me all through dinner. Giving out tokens has become its own game between us, seeing which one of us can give more to the other, although Sebastian is always careful to make sure there is a valid reason for every one that he gives me. He can’t play favorites. There are others here who are trying to get on the leaderboard and that wouldn’t be fair.
I think ev….yone was surprised when Logan gave a token to Liam for their conversation in Communication class. And Liam gave Logan one for listening without storming out.
