141. TOKEN OF LOVE

SERAPHINA Honestly, deep in my heart I knew the ending. Ryker was going to win. Everyone was well aware, however, these Alphas had to save their egos. He actually won as easily as if he were taking a stroll in the garden. Still when Grace called our names as the finalists, his smile brought a strange feeling in my chest. It was as if he had been looking at me this entire time. Waiting…for me. Still we were bound to face each other if we had not been interrupted during the task by the waterfall. If not back then, then now. I wanted that scroll and I was not going to back down even if my opponent was Alpha Ryker. My eyes flickered to Ronan across the clearing and as expected he looked like a beast in a cage. The only thing holding him back was me. His violet e

142. ADDICTED TO HER

RONANI lost control of my wolf the instant their hands clasped. My legs moved of their own accord, carrying me closer before I even registered it. When Ryker lost intentionally, giving up the scroll to her as a love token. The word alone shattered any semblance of sanity inside me. Not because of the scroll itself, but due to his expression. And hers.Seraphina looked surprised, yes, but not caught off guard. Her expression shifted, just for a moment, before she smoothed it back into composure too quickly, far too seamlessly for someone blindsided by his confession of love. That was when the truth struck me like a blade to the chest, she knew.Ryker had already confessed his love to her. And she…she had hidden it. Verkas

143. NO SERAPHINA, NO RONAN

RONAN“You say you’ve known all kinds of women,” I said slowly, my voice rougher than I intended. “Then tell me, why does she burn with such fury when I worry for her? When I try to protect her? Why does my possessiveness make her lash out, when it’s only because I love her?”Aran gave me a smile that was both handsome and cruel in its precision. “Instead of asking me, ask yourself this: when you were so busy worrying for her safety, were you aware of how she felt? Or did you hurt her without realizing it, blinded by your own possessiveness?”His words struck like a blade, cutting through my defenses. I remembered that night, my hand gripping her arm too tightly, my words sharp and accusing. I hadn’t asked if she was alright. I hadn’t comforted her after she and he

144. BURNED AND UNDONE

SERAPHINAIf someone had asked me what fire was, I would have said it burns and destroys. But his lips on mine were a fire disguised in devastating tenderness, slow, consuming, undoing me piece by piece. They brushed against mine as though afraid I’d vanish if he pressed too hard, igniting me with every delicate touch.A shudder rippled through me when his thumb traced the curve of my jaw, tilting my face, deepening the kiss. His lips coaxed mine apart, patient yet relentless, exploring as though he sought to memorize every sigh, every tremble, every hesitation. The kiss wasn’t merely lips meeting lips, it was a confession, an apology, a desperate plea woven into every breath.It was soft, unhurried, and it broke me. I hadn’t even realized my lips were following him, answering him. My surrender made his heartbeat thunder against my chest, no longer steady but frantic, wild.Then his kiss changed. It grew bolder, hungrier. A low groan rumbled in his throat, vibrating against my mouth,

145. BURNED BY YEARNING

RYKERThree more steps. That was all Ronan Volkstane had to take to reach me then this little game would have ended in blood and death, if she hadn’t intervened.In the three seconds after that she would have been mine forever, if she hadn’t interfered again.My wolf had been on the edge of breaking when she left, but her feminine scent lingering on my palm, the soft ghost of her touch had tethered me to sanity. Secretly, I found myself craving the true essence of her scent, hidden beneath the perfume she always wore.“Alpha Ryker,” Grace’s voice drew my attention. She lowered herself gracefully into the seat opposite mine, crossing her legs with a teasing smile. “I see you lost intentionally to Seth Darven. Do you…like him?”“I love him,” I replied.Her smile faltered, her composure cracking. “Love?”“What is there to be surprised about?” I leisurely crossed my legs, meeting her wide, silvery-grey eyes with calm indifference.“A strong and dominating Alpha like you…falling for Seth D

146. THE BEGINNING OF THE MESS

SERAPHINA When my eyes fluttered open, the first thing I noticed was sunlight spilling through the curtains in golden ribbons.Wait, sunlight? The sun was up?!My gaze jerked to the clock without so much as moving a muscle, and the sight made my stomach lurch. Seven a.m.“Oh no…” I groaned, burying my burning face into the softness beneath me. I’d overslept. Now the showers would be swarming with Alphas. Perfect. Just perfect. Cursing myself for sleeping like a lazy pig, I resigned myself to wiping down with a damp cloth when my thoughts froze.The surface beneath me wasn’t hard. It was soft. Too soft.Blinking, I realized with a start that I wasn’t curled on the cold floor at all. My cheek rested against a familiar pillow, my body wrapped snugly in a blanket, cocooned in warmth.“Wasn’t I on the ground last night?” The whisper left my lips as my drowsy mind struggled to catch up. For a long, hazy second I just lay there, blinking, reluctant to move. My body was heavy with sleep, but

147. A DANGEROUS HUNGER

SERAPHINA“I came to chase after him.”I nearly bit my tongue at his shameless boldness. My grip tightened around the scroll, my knuckles whitening, while Grace smirked knowingly, her eyes dancing with mischief, silently declaring see, I knew you two were lovers.“We are not!” I blurted out before I could stop myself.Ronan blinked down at me, a flicker of confusion shadowing his sharp features. Grace, however, burst into laughter, her voice carrying with mocking delight. “Bye guys,” she slid into her car, waving at us playfully as she drove off, leaving me alone with him.I exhaled a weary breath as her car disappeared from sight, but his piercing presence immediately pressed in on me, sharp and suffocating.“Seraphina,” he stepped closer, his tone low, velvety, and dangerous, “did you sleep well last night?” His voice caressed my skin like silk, deceptively soft, yet ladened with intent. My heartbeat stumbled into a wild gallop. “Because I couldn’t sleep a wink…not after tasting yo

148. THE JEALOUS CONFESSION

SERAPHINAOn the tenth day, the Alpha instructor appeared in the morning not with the usual brutal training or punishing drills, but with something entirely unexpected. His announcement left us all bewildered.“Gather all of your belongings and hand them to the dormitory assistant,” he ordered, his voice clipped and commanding.Immediately, everyone scrambled to obey, though murmurs rippled across the group.“Are we finally leaving this damn forest?” one whispered eagerly.“I think so!” another replied.“Fuck yes! I can’t wait to sink into my cozy bed and eat something that isn’t crawling or half raw!”I had little to pack, just another set of clothes and a few necessary items I’d stashed in the branch of a tree. Slipping them into the bag the dormitory assistant provided, I handed it over like everyone else.“Something seems off,” Phina said in my mind, “This brutal training, taking away our belongings but not talking about returning to the dormitory or Academy.”I nodded in response

149. THE TASK

SERAPHINAMy mind spun wildly, conjuring far too many meanings behind his words, each one more alarming than the last. My chest tightened, heart hammering as though it sought escape from my ribs. I was reading too deeply into everything, I knew that, yet I couldn’t stop myself. In a sudden rush of panic, I took a step back.I did not know why…why even if I wanted to forget Ronan ... .his confession, his anger, his touch, his jealousy, his smile, his lips…. all of that flashed in my mind. My breathing became uneven slightly as I secretly controlled my emotions before looking up to Finn. “Jealousy is a normal human emotion, Finn,” I forced a smile, trying desperately to smooth the awkward edges of his tone. “It’s okay to be jealous sometimes, especially when it comes to friends.” A laugh bubbled from me, thin and nervous,

150. THE HUNT FOR NAMES

SERAPHINA“Eliminate your competition?” I echoed, my brows furrowing in confusion.But all of us Alphas were each other’s competition. Every single one.Alpha Gideon’s voice rolled through the forest, steady and commanding. “The Alpha instructors have placed a page bearing each of your names at a location corresponding to your current position. Your task is to find your page. Once you do, you automatically qualify for the next trial and are permitted to return to the Academy building immediately.”He finished, his words deliberate, his tone final.I stood frozen, dumbfounded.That was it? We just had to find our page? Nothing more?
