Semua Bab The Alpha's Betrayal: My Second Chance To Defy Fate: Bab 101 - Bab 110

SARAPHINA’S POVI stumbled through the door of my dorm room, my legs barely holding me up. The alcohol was still burning through my system, but it was nothing compared to the shame eating me alive from the inside out. My roommates weren't there, thank the Goddess. I couldn't handle their disgusted looks right now.I collapsed onto my bed and buried my face in my pillow. The fabric smelled like the cheap detergent from the Academy laundry, nothing like home. Nothing like comfort.What had I done? What had I become?The memory of Eamon's face when he realized what I'd done played on repeat in my mind. The way he'd looked at me like I was something dangerous. Something to be feared. He was right to look at me that way. I'd used magic to force him to kiss me. I'd taken away his choice, his consent, his free will.I was a monster.The tears came then, hot and angry and full of self-loathing. I cried until my throat was raw, until my eyes burned, until there was nothing left inside me but e

EWAN’S POVI found him in the courtyard behind the dormitory building, sitting on one of the stone benches with his head in his hands. The party music was still audible from here, but muffled and distant. He looked up when he heard my footsteps on the gravel path.I was not even sure why he was here or what he was looking for."Ewan." He stood up quickly, relief flooding his face. "I was looking for you at the party. I couldn't find you anywhere.""What are you doing here?" The words came out colder than I intended, but I couldn't help it. The image of him kissing Saraphina was burned into my mind.”This is not your wing.”"We still have so much to talk about," he said, taking a step toward me. "About what happened earlier. About us."I let out a bitter laugh. "Us? There is no us, Eamon. Not after what I saw."His brow furrowed. "What are you talking about?""I saw you." My voice was getting louder, and I didn't care. "I saw you with her. With Saraphina. In the hallway."The color drai

SPECIAL CHAPTER: SARAH MORGANI stormed down the hallway, my heart hammering against my ribs. The stone walls blurred past me. I just needed to get away from that room, away from Ciara's perfect everything, away from the way she looked at me like I was some broken thing she needed to fix.I turned the corner too fast and slammed straight into someone. The impact sent me stumbling backward."Shit, sorry," I muttered, steadying myself against the wall. "I wasn't watching where I was—"I looked up and froze. Ronan stood there, his dark hair slightly mussed, those sharp eyes studying my face. A slow smile spread across his lips."Well, well," he said, his voice carrying that same charm from earlier. "It's like fate wants us to meet.""Yeah." The word came out breathless. My cheeks burned with embarrassment. Here I was, running through the halls like some dramatic teenager, and of course I'd crash into him.His smile faded when he got a better look at my face. "You look like shit. Want to

CIARA’S POVI don't remember falling asleep. One moment I was staring at my phone, willing Darragh to call back, and the next I was being jolted awake by an incessant ringing sound. My eyes flew open, disoriented and groggy. The room was bathed in the pale light of early morning, and for a second I couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from.Then I realized it was my phone. I fumbled for it on the nightstand, squinting at the screen through bleary eyes. Darragh's name flashed across the display, and relief flooded through me so fast it made me dizzy."Darragh," I said, my voice hoarse with sleep. "Thank Goddess. I was so worried.""I'm sorry I couldn't call you back," he said, and his voice sounded tired. Really tired. "I wasn't with my phone."I sat up properly, running a hand through my tangled hair. Something in his tone made my stomach clench. "Are you okay? You sound...""I'm fine," he said, but I could hear the lie in it. "Well, relatively speaking."I glanced around th

SARAPHINA’S POVThe sky outside my window was turning the color of faded denim. Dawn, just beginning to creep in, found me sitting at the edge of my bed, staring at the half-packed bag by my feet. I'd been awake all night, listening to my heart pound in my ears, but the rest of the dorm had finally come to life, footsteps thudding and doors slamming open and shut. My head throbbed from lack of sleep, but at least it kept my mind too tired to think about Eamon, or Darragh, or what I'd done.I stuffed my last sweater into the bag and zipped it shut. My hands were shaking, but I kept my face blank. The room was thick with tension. My roommates, all three of them, pretended to busy themselves. They weren't fooling anyone.One of them, Tessa, the one with the blonde braid and the loudest voice, looked over her shoulder at the others. She didn't bother lowering her voice. "So what, do you think she'll get a new room or something? Maybe cry to the administration about us bullying her?"The g
