LOGINRonanThe door slams shut behind me, and his scent hits me like a blow, Alpha, Hot, Wild. My knees nearly give out from the Domineering energy.It isn't aggressive nor sharp, or too territorial in the ways Alphas give off their scent, this is deeper, fuller. A mating call that sinks under my skin and wraps tight around my ribs, like something ancient finally recognizing its other half.Something snarls in the air, I don't need to see him to know he's there, I lift my head slowly, and Kieran isn't asleep. It isn't even Kieran.He's standing near my wardrobe, shoulders rolled forward, head tipped slightly as he drags in breath after breath through his nose. My clothes hand open, disturbed, fabric clenched in his fist like an anchor, a low sound rips from his chest, frustrated and feral, his scent sours a bit.“Wrongggg,” he growls out, voice rough and fractured. “Wronggg.” My blood turns to ice.His eyes are unfocused when he looks up, gold eyes blown wide, pupils intense, by instincts.
KIERAN I wake up ready for my day of research, the room is dim, my side is already arranged, too neat I slept badly again.I look at Ronan, the awareness snap in before though, before reason, I turn my head he sits on his bed, fully dressed, posture perfect to the point of strain. His boots are laced, with his perfect and beautiful hair. His hands locked and folded as if to keep them from shakingHe still doesn't look at me, more than anything that sets my instincts grinding.Alpha rut is all about crash anf fuck it out, but we wake up raw settled.It sit up slowly, careful not to spook him, i don't know why that thought even crosses my mind, he's an Alpha, he shouldn't look like a prey bracing for a strike.“Morning,” i say, his shoulders tenes.“Morning,” he replies after a beat, neutral, polite. Too distant for him and me.“You are not going for breakfast,” i add.“I wasn't hungry, Ethan will get me something later.” He adds“I can bring it to you, if you want.” I tell him hastil
Kieran By the next morning, when I prepared for class my temper was already Razor thin.I caught Ronan by accident at the west wing, it wasn't planned, I just needed him to talk to me, I wasn't stalking him.I was turning a corner too fast, already irritated by my own thoughts, when he stepped out and nearly collided with me.For half a second, we were close enough that I could inhale his scent through my lungs.The scent hits me, faint, restrained and weird in a way I couldn't put into words too.Soft and Lunar, held too tightly, like someone pressing a hand over a wound and pretending it wasn’t bleeding.It wasn't like a scent from an Omega or an Alpha either, it wasn't the calm, satisfied wash that followed a rut either.It was suspended, as if his scent was holding it own breath.My instincts leaned in before my mind could catch up, My chest tightened, breath going shallow as my wolf tried to take the reins from me and pull me into his arms.Ronan stiffened instantly.His eyes f
Kieran I don't remember falling asleep. One moment I was lying down on my bed, staring at the ceiling. Next I was running, grass brushing my legs, tall glass with the moonlight making them silver as bending as I was pulled through it.Laughter rang out ahead of me, a child's laughter.“Kieran!” The voice called out.I pushed harder, my feet barely touching the floor, my body felt lighter, how unburdened, I knew this place, though I couldn't say how.The boy came into view, small, blonde haired, running ahead of me, glancing back with a grin that punched straight through my chest.A feeling, “ Wait,” I called out, even as he smiled. “ You're cheating.”The boy laughed again and bumped into another figure.I slowed down, confusion hitting meThe child was caught by Ethan.The scene twisted and the child became Ronan, and I woke up with a sharp inhale, perking upright.The room was dark, and silent, with Ronan asleep on his side.My heart was racing enough to hurt.For a long moment, I
Ronan The door clicked shut behind Ethan and the sound felt too loud in the small bathroom, I was still in pain and shaking.But not violently anymore, not like before but enough that my muscles wouldn't quite listen to me anymore. The heat spike had receded from a scream to low, grinding ache, the kind that settled into bone and waited.Ethan stood near the door, deliberately distant, his were relaxed and at his sides, his posture was very careful and contained like he was holding himself in check.“I'm not going to touch you, “ he said quietly. “ Unless you ask.” I swallowed, my throat burned and he turned to leave.“Don't, “ I managed. “Just…. Stay. Please.”He nodded once, no hesitation, no questions.“Okay.” The bathroom smelled wrong, not loud, not broadcasting, but contained and my own failure sweetness under stress, I hated that it existed at all.Ethan moved slowly and deliberately. He cracked the window open despite the cold, the evening air slid in, sharp and clean.“Br
KIERAN I stop outside the dorm room, as I see signs of forced entry, I don't even remember deciding to come here.One moment I'm crossing the corridor, telling myself to get back training, to burn off the restless edge since Ronan told me to Get out.Next I'm standing in front of our dorm room, breathe tight, pulse too tight, as I'm scared someone had broken in.All my military training instincts kicks in.Then my body hums faintly towards the door, something is wrong. It isn't loud, it doesn't even hit like like an Alpha’s challenge or a threat.It seeps, soft, distressed and wrong, my breathe catches it before my mind can catch up.But it's waking up my protective instinct, as my wolf paces inside me, I tell myself it's leftover tension. Residual adrenaline from the trials and lack of sleep, and my imagination filling the gaps.But my body doesn't listen, my chest tightens, a coiling pressure pulls at me low and sudden like something waking up that should have stayed dormant, my fi
