Ronan

I carry Calla in my arms, bridal style, her head heavy against my chest. She’s still groggy, drifting in and out of awareness, and every step I take rattles through me. Her scent clings to the air, thick, intoxicating, sweet in a way that burns down my throat. It’s different now. Sharper. Heavier. The kind of scent that claws at my control and drags everything primal inside me to the surface.

The music downstairs is still loud. The party hasn’t slowed, laughter and voices bleeding through the walls, but I don’t stop. I slip us through the back door and up the stairs before anyone notices. My hold on her tightens the moment she stirs. Her body is burning up, skin flushed, her pulse too fast against my arm.

I know what this is.

Heat.

The word itself sinks into me like a blade. My chest tightens as I shoulder my way into my room and kick the door shut behind me. I set her down on the bed as carefully as I can, but the second her body leaves mine, I already miss the feel of her. My

responding late cos i just saw these lols... so, strange thing already happened, that's mating him with a human in the first place, so a human going into heat isn't as strange to him anymore...I mean nobody had ever been mated a human before.

good Question, But it looks like even if you are human you can go into heat.

If she’s human- or he believes that she is- why would he think she’s in heat and not question how that would occur

  • A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA   ~120 :The Luna Crown

    Calla It’s been two days since the fight, though it still feels like it’s happening in the back of my head. Every time I close my eyes, I can still see flashes of fire, hear the growls, smell the blood. But the quiet has finally returned. Saturday morning sunlight slides through the cracked blinds, spilling over the mess on my bedside table. Blaire sits cross-legged on the couch, eating cereal from the box like she owns the place. “You realize you’re kind of famous now, right?” I groan, rolling over to bury my face in the pillow. “Please don’t start.” “I’m serious,” she says, crunching loudly. “Half the pack keeps talking about your wolf. They said she glowed. And that mark on her side—some healer leaf thing? You basically shut everyone up.” I peek out from under the blanket. “You mean the same people who wanted me gone a month ago?” “Exactly those people.” She grins, clearly enjoying this too much. “Guess the universe likes proving people wrong.” I push myself up slowly, muscle

  • A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA   ~119 : The Last Stand

    RonanI think I’m dreaming. There’s warmth spreading through my chest, gentle at first, then sharper, like something alive pushing its way back inside me. I gasp and air rushes in, thick with dust and iron. My body aches everywhere, and the ground feels cold beneath my palms. I blink, but my vision keeps swimming. The sky above me looks torn, gray clouds curling over what’s left of the battlefield.I hear a faint sound, steady breathing close to my ear. When I turn my head, I see her.Calla.Only she’s not how I remember. Her body is different, larger, coated in brown fur that glows faintly under the moonlight. Her paws are pressed against my chest, and there’s a strange light pulsing along her side, shaped like a leaf. It glows each time she exhales, spilling warmth through me. I can feel it moving inside my veins, spreading like a slow burn, knitting things together that I thought were already gone.My throat tightens. I try to move but she presses down, holding me there, eyes locke

  • A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA   ~118 :Her Wolf Awakens

    Calla The pen slips from my fingers before I realize I’ve stopped breathing. One second I’m writing notes for the exam I probably won’t pass, the next my chest tightens so hard I nearly fall out of my chair. The library is dead quiet, except for the sound of my pulse pounding in my ears.It feels like someone just drove a blade straight through my ribs. Not mine. His.I clutch the edge of the table, knuckles white, trying to steady the shaking in my hands. Every breath burns. My heart is racing too fast, too wild, like it’s chasing something I can’t see.“Ronan,” I whisper before I even think. The name tastes like blood in my mouth.The lights flicker. A low ringing fills my ears, then a voice — faint, broken — drifts through the noise.“Calla…”I jerk my head up. “Who’s there?” My voice sounds smaller than I expect. The rows of shelves stretch out around me, endless shadows between them. No one answers, but I feel something stir deep inside me, something that doesn’t belong to this

  • A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA   ~117: The Breaking Point

    Ronan The clash around me grows louder, steel against claw, roars echoing through the woods. My breathing is uneven, ragged, each inhale scraping through my chest. I can feel the blood soaking through my shirt, sticky and warm, but I can’t stop now. Caius is on his knees, cornered by Gerald who looks far too calm for the chaos around him. He stands there, his coat fluttering in the wind, his face drawn into that smug expression that used to look harmless when I was younger.Now, all I see is the monster behind it.“Get away from him!” I snarl, forcing my body to move though everything aches. The ground beneath my boots is muddy with blood, the scent sharp and raw in the air. My muscles tremble as I grab Caius by the arm, but he jerks away, eyes flashing black again.His growl cuts through the air, low and broken, like he’s caught between pain and fury. I see the struggle in him—his body wants to tear me apart, but his eyes, for a brief second, look like my brother’s. There’s fear the

  • A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA   ~116: The Shadow of Gerald

    Ronan The field is thick with the smell of blood and smoke, the air hot against my fur. Every breath burns. Caius has me pinned beneath him, his claws digging into my chest hard enough to break skin, but not deep enough to kill. His teeth hover inches from my throat, saliva dripping down as his whole body trembles. He growls, a sound torn between rage and pain, and for a second, I think it’s over.Then he hesitates.I can feel his body shaking above me, his claws twitching like he’s fighting something I can’t see. His eyes flash red, then silver, then back to black again. There’s a war going on inside him, and I can sense Darko pacing restlessly in my head, ready to tear free if Caius doesn’t stop.“Caius,” I rasp, the taste of iron thick on my tongue. “You can fight it. You’re still in there.”He lets out a low, strangled sound, half-snarl, half-whimper. His paw trembles where it hovers above my face, claws inches from tearing it open. I hold his gaze, refusing to flinch, even as bl

  • A NERD FOR THE HOCKEY ALPHA   ~115 : Caius Unleashed

    Ronan The air smells like blood and burnt wood. Every sound in the field is chaos—claws tearing into flesh, growls echoing through the trees, warriors shouting commands that get swallowed by roars. I can barely see through the haze of smoke rising from the east gate. My fur is slick with blood, half of it not even mine.Darko pushes harder inside me, restless and furious, and I let him take more control as I rip through another Blackridge warrior trying to flank Casen. “Keep the east line steady!” I snarl, my voice rough from yelling. Casen nods before diving into another fight, his blade flashing silver under the moonlight.Kael bursts through the flames to my right, dragging a wounded soldier to safety. “We’re losing the south side, Alpha!” he yells, his face smeared with dirt and sweat.I turn sharply, breathing hard. “Pull the second line there! Tell Blaire to keep the pack members underground until I give the word. No one steps out!”He nods once before shifting mid-run, his mas
