RONAN “Alpha… Alpha…” Mace called my name, not once but five times, his voice carrying a sharper edge each time, trying to wrench me back from the invisible tether that bound my gaze to the Academy. The building loomed far off in the heart of the Black Pine Forest, its silhouette jagged against the dim horizon like a beast keeping secrets in its gut. While I stood deep within the border woods, shadows clinging to my shoulders, as though they knew the storm stirring inside me. Mace had insisted I meet him here urgently, yet my attention kept drifting elsewhere, pulled by something I could not ignore. “Is something wrong, Alpha?” he pressed, tone wary. My hand twitched at my side, my fingers curling and uncurling as if they were holding something that wasn’t there. The air seemed heavier, colder. Verkas, my wolf, was restlessly prowling inside me, his growls vibrating in my chest. Something was wrong. Through the mate bond, a sharp spike of Seraphina’s emotions cut into me. Unstab

SILAS“What the fuck…” I hissed, my jaw tightening as my bird’s crimson eyes fixed on her within the walls of Lupine Academy.Reclined in my velvet chair, a goblet of dark wine balanced in my hand, I barely spared a glance at the two Alpha beasts tearing each other apart on the balcony. My attention was solely focused on her. Always her.“Tell me, Theo,” I murmured, my voice low and sharp, “Did Alpha Darious not see the bouquet, or did he somehow fail to hear that ‘Seth Darven’ is in Lupine Academy?”Theo stiffened beside my chair, his shoulders taut. “He saw and heard both, but…”“But?” I slowly tilted my head toward him, the weight of my stare heavy.His eyes dropped. “Her aunt, Luna Marrisa, seems to have been involved in her escape and intrusion. Since she is the twin sister of Seraphina Nightbane’s mother, their bond is more like mother and daughter. The Luna outright lied to her mate and Alpha Darious Nightbane, claimed her son went to Lupine Academy and wanted it kept secret as

SERAPHINA“I don’t even know these two.”The words slipped out steady, but the weight they carried turned the entire hall silent. Dozens of eyes swung towards me in shock. All except Ronan’s. His unyielding and piercing violet eyes, burning with his wolf, were locked on mine through the large glass window behind where Austin sat. But not questioning or doubting me once. He was just watching. Ryker, however, stared blankly. His expression was unreadable at my statement, yet the stillness in his gaze was sharper than any blade. As if he were daring me to lie again about not knowing him. Austin’s eyes narrowed. His aura pressed down like a blade at my throat, sharp and suffocating. I did not know why but every time he looked at me I grew aware of my disguise. The King’s Council were

SERAPHINARonan was expelled?The world tilted violently on its axis. The thunder of voices, gasps, murmurs, protests became nothing but static at the edges of my hearing. All sound dulled. All sight dimmed. The only thing alive inside me was the violent hammer of my heart, so fast and fierce I thought it might tear me apart.This wasn’t anger. This wasn’t fear. This was something far worse.The realization of losing what was mine. My possession. My mate.Before I could stop myself, the words broke from me like a knife against stone. “I refuse to accept this decision.”The hall fell silent. Horrified. Breathless.Alpha Hugo’s head snapped toward me, eyes wide in shock, while the Council members turned their evil, gleaming eyes on me. Predators scenting blood.Austin’s face twisted with rage. “What did you say?”“What? Expelled?” Ryker snarled, wolf-fire flashing in his eyes. His aura rolled across the hall like a storm surge. “Me?”Ronan’s voice was quieter. Deadlier. “Anyone who gets

RYKERAlpha Hugo and Alpha Gideon remained in the Grand Hall with the Council after everyone else had been ordered to leave. Outside the heavy doors, the crowd of Alphas began to scatter, their footsteps fading one by one. My gaze, however, stayed locked on Seraphina. She turned out to be even more brilliant than I had thought. She had thought of a way to get out of that mess with the Council before it had begun. A part of me was satisfied that she used my love token for that but that satisfaction instantly burnt in the lava building inside me thinking of the reasons  behind it had not been for her benefit but for his. There was pure hatred in her eyes when they met mine. Before, she spun around to leave when Ronan reached for her wrist. “Seraphina—” he whispered enough to reach her ears. My wolf growled, my legs ready to rip them apart but before I coul
