RONAN

“Don’t want to be seen by me, huh?” I muttered under my breath as I crouched to retrieve the book from the floor. Its pages were filled with an ancient language I hadn’t been able to decipher, until now.

But had I heard Seth Darven read “rogue”?

I narrowed my eyes.

The letters had shifted, reshaping into English only after Seth had glanced at the page earlier. But that translation hadn’t been there before. Not until he saw it.

“But how? And why?” I murmured, my fingers unconsciously brushing over the worn, yellowed paper. My thoughts raced back—to the rogue in the ruins… and again in the Blackmoon forest. This couldn’t be a coincidence.

“Ronan,” Asher’s voice snapped me from my thoughts as he stepped into the room.

I placed the book down carefully on the desk and turned to him.

“Here’s your cologne,” he said, holding up the black bottle. “And your suspicion was spot on. The old wolf who makes your cologne confirmed someone tampered with it.”

He handed it to me, his tone grim.

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   31. HIS ROOM

    SERAPHINA Yesterday, the dorm assistant had pointed out that I was in a prohibited area and I had not seen other Alphas here. That meant I was in a prohibited area. According to rules we were not allowed to be in prohibited or forbidden places within the Academy or the only punishment was expulsion. I wanted to stay away from Ronan so how had I ended up wandering into his bedroom? How had things turned out like this? And moreover how had I gotten caught as well. “I did not know it was your room. I got lost,” I instinctively stepped back, my spine brushing the edge of the desk as Ronan moved in like shadow and storm clouds.“Really?” the corner of his lips curled up into a smile that screamed he did not believe me.“Yes, I came to this area to drop off my mattress. And took a wrong turn. That’s all.”“Then just happened to end up in my bedchamber. How convenient,” he smirked. I glared at him, “What do you mean by that?” He smirked again, his eyes going to the book that I dropped,

    SERAPHINA“Phina… Phina…” I gasped, standing beneath the icy spray of the shower. My body trembled as I moaned through clenched teeth, pain raking through me. I knew it had only been half an hour—far too early for this to pass—but the heat flooding my blood and my wolf’s growing need were driving us both to the brink.Phina whimpered weakly in my mind. She was fighting just as hard as I was, holding herself back from the primal urge threatening to consume us.My knees buckled.I collapsed to the cold tile floor, panting. “Just a little longer…” I murmured. “It’ll be over soon…”Truthfully, I didn’t know if this trick would work. But I couldn’t give up, not now. It had to work.The pain was unlike anything I’d ever known. My vision blurred, my mind clouded with fog. It felt as if something was tearing my soul from my body.Desperate to stay conscious, I dug my nails into my arm, pinching and scratching at my skin. “Don’t faint…” I whispered to myself, though my voice was already fading

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   29. UNLESS WHAT?

    SERAPHINAEver since I’d decided to flee the wedding and join Lupine Academy, my biggest fear hadn’t been being exposed or caught by my father—it was my heat cycle.Going into heat surrounded by Alpha wolves was practically suicide. That’s why I’d been so desperate for the witch’s perfume. It wasn’t just meant to conceal my scent, it was designed to suppress my heat entirely while I was at the Academy. A powerful potion disguised as perfume, created by an old witch, who had sent it with a grim warning: delaying heat would double the pain later.I’d accepted the risk. Whatever the cost, I would build my own throne—and nothing, not even pain, would stop me.But now… now everything seemed to be falling apart.Despite the perfume, the symptoms had begun. My body felt hot and achy, my temper frayed at the edges, and even Phin—who normally healed everything—was silent, which was so unlike her.I was running out of time. If I went into heat here, it would expose me. I couldn’t hide. I couldn

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   28. ARE YOU FEELING SICK?

    SERAPHINAWe returned to the Academy the next morning, and the moment I hit the bed, I passed out—skipping lunch entirely. My body ached from the hunt, exhaustion pulling at my limbs, but catching any peaceful sleep in that dorm room was nearly impossible.The constant yelling, growling, and vulgar laughter of Reed and Cassius bled into my ears like an endless migraine. Today was even worse, they’d invited their equally obnoxious friends over. It wasn’t anything new, but lately, they’d been acting like absolute rogues, completely out of control.My head throbbed from the lack of proper sleep, and the relentless chaos they caused only made it worse. I couldn’t change, bathe, or even enjoy a moment of calm. They often walked around stark naked after showers without a shred of decency. And the way they talked about she-wolves—filthy, crude, and utterly revolting—made me want to vomit. The peace I so desperately needed didn’t exist, and over the past few days, I was slowly reaching my lim

  • When The Moon Hides Her Crown   27. WHAT’S HIS DEAL?

    SERAPHINAAlpha Asher’s jaw clenched the moment his eyes found me. The same cheek I had slapped yesterday was still faintly pink, and his glare burned like wildfire.Shit.He stepped back, his expression twisted in fury, as if he were staring at his sworn enemy.“You blind, you little bastard?” he snarled, voice low and dangerous as he stormed toward me, murder in his eyes. The clearing fell into a tense silence, every Alpha pausing mid-bite, mid-word. All eyes turned to us.“You think you’re a hero because I let you live after you smacked me?” He grabbed me by the collar, yanking me forward. Some of the Alphas around us lit up with excitement, cheering quietly as if waiting for blood to spill, and hoping it would be mine.“Now that you’ve touched me like you accused me of touching you yesterday,” he growled, his voice sharp as broken glass, “shouldn’t I repay you a hundredfold?”His hand began to shift—muscles tensing, claws extending toward my jaw.But before I could even react, a h
