"He's crying for help, won't you help him?"

Eve's heart thundered against his ribcage, he sweats profusely, hands tightly gripping the sides of his shirt, his eyes burning but they couldn't dare look away as Alpha's eyes held them captive. He felt like he was being imprisoned by those big, dead eyes haunting him like a ghost.

Alpha lowered down to Eve's height with a maniacal gaze causing Eve to gulp in terror, his conscience betraying him.

Eve gave the man a terrifying side eye, blood oozing from his nose and mouth, every cell of his body yelling for help. Though Eve was a good- hearted kid, helping that guy didn't even cross his mind; in this life-or-death situation, helping others was the last thing he wanted to do.

Eve shakes his head unconsciously as fresh warm tears roll down his cold red cheeks. He flinched, when Alpha chuckled in his face, intensely staring as he sniffled.

"You don't want to help him?" Alpha smirked obnoxiously, the uproar and twisted expression on his face enhancing his beauty as if he was made for this madness.

And something tells Eve, based on Alpha's fascinating expression, that he was just waiting for him to give the wrong answer and grab the opportunity to catch Eve off guard with his insanity. This throws Eve into a never-ending dilemma because he no longer knows what to say to him.

Alpha looked menacingly content and happy to see him in pain. Which causes Eve to shiver uncontrollably.

Eve glanced towards River, in the hope of help.

However, he was taken aback when he noticed a playful smile on his face. Eve's face twisted in disgust. So this is his true face, his true colours. Sage was right about him, and he should have trusted him. But there was nothing he could do now but regret.

"Alpha, the kid's really nice and innocent. I don't know how he ends up here, but please don't be so hard on him," River smiled worriedly. He looked at Eve and nodded, "Be nice and he will be nice to you."

But then something crossed his thoughts and he abruptly stood up, "Wait! Where is Sage? Didn't I leave you with him, so why are you roaming around alone!" And this time Eve could see the real fear on his face, real nervousness while asking about Sage.

"Angh!" Meanwhile, Eve suddenly stumbled back and gasped heavily when Alpha suddenly raised his hand towards his face.

"Sorry, did I scare you?" Alpha pulled an innocent face, feigning concern as he closed his hand in a fist, the lack of empathy in his gorgeous silver-brown eyes that gleamed with absurdity were so still, it seemed like they were stuck in one place.

Eve looked at his calm face, which appeared as if he doesn't have anything to worry and fear about. But what Eve couldn't see is that there was so much going on in Alpha's head, so many conflicting thoughts circling, and scheming how he could torture the sobbing face in front of him because he found Eve's crying amusing.

The more Eve cried, the more frantic Alpha was getting to somehow resist his desperate urges to torment Eve to the point he would no longer be able to cry anymore.

Which piqued the devil's curiosity, the anguished lamb was just so irresistible that the king couldn't hold back himself from asking.

"What did you do to end up here?" Alpha demanded, because no matter how many guesses he made, anyone could tell that this trembling mess doesn't

belong here. If Eve could cry this easily just by seeing someone covered in blood, then how could he be Alpha's roommate?

Eve flinched so hard at Alpha's question that his legs buckled and he fell flat on his bum. His ears began to ring with familiar screams and cries of

someone

as his eyes darted around the floor. He squints his eyes tightly, but the image of a

young, cheerfully smiling face

keeps flashing in front of him despite his best efforts to block it out. "Well, he's your roommate which explains-" River started, voice slightly

worried as he looked at Eve, who had his hands collapsed on his ears while shaking his head and whimpering out incoherent words.

"Did I ask you?" Alpha roared without taking his eyes off Eve having a breakdown on the floor.

"Woah! Easy, fine I won't say anything, dude," River raised his hands in surrender. "Can't even express my emotions, humph meanie!"

Alpha ignored him and knelt down, extending his hand and this time Eve didn't startle or flinch away because he wasn't in the right mind. Alpha presses his middle finger against Eve's chin, forcing him to look up at him.

"Open your eyes," He whispered impatiently, and glared at Eve's tear-stained red face when he didn't open his eyes. Alpha's eyes stilled on the red and blue marks imprinted on his pale neck and smirked as he got turned on. "Ah, the marks suit you. Should I give you some more?"

Eve's heart raced when he felt the cold feeling of Alpha's finger under his chin and hot breaths tripping on his face.

He heard something rustling in Alpha's hand and his heart skipped a beat.

His wet eyes fluttered as he slowly opened them; his glistening sapphire- colored eyes, met with silver-brown, chaotic ones. When he noticed a knife in front of his face, all the colour left his face.

His eyes darted to Alpha, who was expertly twirling the knife between his fingers with a wicked grin. A moment's lack of concentration would result in a big cut.

"Well, if you don't want to help him, that's fine. I can't force you now, you know, consent matters," Alpha leaned in closer, his face inches away from Eve and his knife inches away from Eve's eyes, which were widened so much that it appeared his eyeballs would fall out any second.

Alpha suddenly moved to his ear, his face slightly brushing against Eve's cheek but Eve could still feel the coldness which made him shiver.

It was the same feeling he felt last night when he got choked to death.

"However, since this little baby is already out it can't go back without getting a taste now," Alpha whispered in his ear and Eve shuddered at how excited this psycho sounded.

Alpha yanked his hand back with full force and hurled it back at Eve. Target; his eyes, and Eve heard a nerve-wrenching scream but couldn't realise that it was his own.

"Hey!! NO!" River yelled too.

However, the pointy knife halted before it could dig out Eve's shocked and frozen eyes, his eyeballs fluttered and he instinctively threw his head back.

"You guys are so dramatic," Alpha snorted and shook his head. He crouched on his hands and knees to hover over an unresponsive Eve. Alpha had his hands on either side of Eve's legs, trapping him beneath his broad body.

"Relax, did you really think I was going to harm you?" Alpha's lips curved into a crazy smile as he innocently blinked his eyes at Eve. "Why would I want to hurt my beloved roommate?" He sarcastically exclaimed, not caring

to be more generous with his words. "There's nothing you need to do. We just need a little help from you."

Eve, on the verge of losing all his senses, widened his eyes in bewilderment as he struggled to comprehend his words. Alpha, who was skilled at reading people's expressions, sensed Eve's terror and that the poor soul wanted nothing more than to vanish from the face of the earth to avoid this situation.

Alpha's eyes twitched for a split second as they landed on Eve's red earlobe, and seeing how delicate it appeared, he reached out his hand for it.

Its soft

Alpha rubbed the red and smooth ear between his thumb and finger, While Eve flinched, terrified for his life.

"Look at it," Alpha said bitterly, turning his face to the injured man while continuing to caress Eve's right ear. Eve averted his gaze to the man's horrifying condition. "It's neither fully alive nor fully dead; it's barely breathing, and I can't leave it like that. And we can't keep him alive because you don't want to help him."

Eve returned his gaze to the face a few inches away and his trembling tenfold.

"Come on," Alpha said, pressing the cold knife against Eve's chest and asking him to take the knife. Eve's entire life flashed before his eyes, and his inner broken conscience warned him that things were about to change for him from this point onward.

Things are going to be much worse than he had imagined for himself.

"N-No! Let me a g-go!" Eve sobbed, but he had no idea that his tears would not help him in this wild school with tumultuous unleashed animals, that his innocent crying and pitiful face would only tempt them to torture him even more.

He cast a glance at River, whose expression he couldn't read because there was no emotion on his face; he resembled a robot devoid of emotions; he didn't appear bored, but he also didn't appear amused as he had minutes

before. However, before he could beg River for help, his entire body was picked up from the floor by rough hands and got dragged toward the guy.

Eve struggled and screamed at the top of his lungs as Alpha threw him in the direction of the other person. Then, he bent down and forced the knife into Eve's hands. Eve's stomach turned in disgust at the scene of the bloody mess on the floor and the skin-crawling, repulsive sight, but he managed to hold

back vomit.

River remained expressionless as he observed the drama from across the room.

"No! Please let me go! P-Please!! I didn't do anything!" Eve cried and tried to free himself from Alpha.

Alpha held him in place from behind, using his broad and strong body to trap Eve's comparable small body. He forced Eve to hold onto the strange and

dangerous weapon in his hand.

Alpha tightly clutched Eve's hand after making him hold the knife, before hurling it at the chest of the man who made no noise and was most likely dead. The nasty sound of a knife piercing through the bones and flesh vigorously was disturbing enough to be able to shake the soul of any sane human.

And then silence.

Red painted across the room.

Blood sputtered down Eve's face as it stroked his neck and his clothes. Frustrating tears rolled down from his trembling eyes nonstop.

"Stop struggling!" Alpha yelled furiously as he mercilessly and like a crazed monster tightened his fingers around Eve's hand. He incessantly strikes back

to back at the neck, face, chest, and stomach as the glistening flesh and guts ripped apart and fresh vicious crimson oozed beneath their feet.

"And remember never to trespass in an area where you are not permitted," Alpha let out to a frozen Eve, whose body had become heavy in his grip as he had already stopped crying and yelling. He didn't have any energy left to do anything but lie there and stare at the blood and guts pooling darkly on the ground. "This is your first lesson in this school so always remember it."

The entire room soon filled with the revolting smell of blood and dreadful silence, but it wasn't just the silence, it was much more sinister, it was cold and evil, everything about the room and what happened there was just inhuman and pure injustice, but the irony was that there wasn't supposed to be any justice because the place itself was built on the roots of injustice.

"Shhhh!" Alpha took a long deep inhale, squeezing Eve's shoulders he closed his bloodlust eyes making Eve whimper in agony. "You did a great job, good boy." he opened his eyes, tilting his head as he beamed, a cold smile broke on his lips as Eve's laboured body finally went limp in Alpha's embrace.

Alpha inhaled the smell of blood like a madman. He pulled up his hand which was entangled with Eve's bloody hand in the air to admire his work. He snorted but held back his wicked laugh. Looking down at an unconscious Eve, his eyes filled with a proud infatuation at the scared innocence that was still present on his blood-stained face.

Alpha groaned and shoved his face in Eve's neck and inhaled deeply, he was stunned by how alluring Eve smelled with his natural scent mixed with the intoxicating smell of blood. A very dangerous combination, Alpha thought.

He feels comforted by the heat radiating from Eve's body. A warmth his cold body never had experienced. Tightening his grip around Eve, he finally feels the heat his cold body has never felt before. And he finds himself getting addicted to it.

"Hey, you forgot to cut his tongue, that's the main part," River grumbled as he cringed looking at them sitting in the pool of blood.

"Shut up!" Alpha growled with his face still in Eve's neck. "And hand me the new medicine."

River looked at the medicine in confusion but still reached Alpha and Eve with it.

"What exactly are you gonna do with it?" River asked, and opened the lid when Alpha instructed him. He took out a few dark blue pills in his hands. "And what about the kid? Is he gonna be alright?"

"I'm not in the mood for your nagging, so shut the fuck up," Alpha scowled, picking up a pill from River's hand who looked worriedly at Eve. He squeezed Eve's mouth to open it with his other hand. "And about the pill, you'll know soon."

Alpha pushed the pill down Eve's hot tongue and his throat as he gagged in his sleep. Once he was satisfied that Eve swallowed the pill, he scooped his unconscious and light body and roses from the floor while Eve was in his arms.

"I want to see if this pill really works or how it's gonna affect this little lamb," Alpha looked down at the small body, whose head resting on his shoulder. Alpha tightened his grip around Eve as he suddenly shivered at the warmth and looked up at River. "Clean this mess while I'm out."

River nodded and watched as Alpha exited the room with his Luna.
