SERAPHINA “Eat,” he said. I blinked. So he brought this second plate for me? Did he know I was still hungry?It was impossible… right?Could he really have heard my stomach growling?His gaze slowly lifted to meet mine when I did not touch the plate, and I felt my face heat with embarrassment.Shit.“I’m full,” I muttered quickly, turning away and sipping my juice as if it could drown my shame.He chewed silently for a moment, watching me. “What a shame,” he sighed. “The food will go to waste then.”My head snapped toward him. “Why? You should eat it.”He tilted his head and pointed at the plate. “Once a plate is served, it can’t be returned or offered to anyone else. There’s no way I can finish all this. It’ll just end up in the trash.”He sighed again, this time with exaggerated pity.I stared at the untouched food. It looked too damn delicious to be thrown away. And truthfully, I was still hungry.I hesitated.Then, after a moment of quiet deliberation, I spoke. “I don’t waste fo

RONANThe Academy’s stone corridors were quiet.The sun was setting, shadows stretched like claws over the marble floor. I moved with them, melting into their cover as I rounded the outer wall of the east wing.The Hall of Records stood like a relic from another era, a squat tower tucked into the back of the Academy’s grounds, mostly ignored except during the start or end of the year. No guards. No patrols. Just a rusted latch on a side window half-hidden behind ivy. Though it was still a forbidden area.I tested the latch. Still loose from the last time I visited under less…sanctioned circumstances.It gave way with a soft creak.Slipping inside, I landed soundlessly on the floor, crouched low, eyes sweeping the darkness. The scent of old parchment, dust, and ink hung in the air. Wooden filing cabinets lined the walls, drawers labeled by region, bloodline, rank.And someone was already here.A figure stood near the central desk, hunched over a file illuminated by a lantern’s soft glo

Seraphina“I have a thing for him,” Ronan said. My eyes widened, and my heartbeat stumbled before it took off in a wild, uneven rhythm.What did he just say?My wolf stirred at the sound of his voice, touched by his, pulled in by him. Completely drawn to him. My chest tightened as heat surged through me, not the kind born of embarrassment or anger...but something far more dangerous.Desire.It coiled low in my stomach and raced up my spine like a wildfire I couldn’t contain. I felt myself slipping, just a little, losing control over something I couldn’t name.My breath caught in my lungs.What did I just hear? Until a shadow at the door pulled me harshly back to reality.Asher.And just beyond him, standing outside in the hallway—Finn.My heart plummeted into my stomach. No…this could not be happening.How long had they been there? How much had they heard?Panic exploded in my chest. I was disguised as a man. As Seth. So being held like that by another Alpha, having Ronan declare h

SERAPHINAAlpha Gideon was silent over my request for a long time as if thinking something over before he said, “You should be aware that changing rooms is not possible, Alpha Seth. It is only possible if you become a member of the hierarchy one day.” I pursed my lips harder. In the corner of my heart, I had a feeling he was going to refuse. The rules were enforced equally for everyone, only winning trials was the way to achieve such things in Lupine Academy. “I understand,” I murmured, turning to leave. Just as I took two steps away, he stated, “I don’t actually know your real reason for such a request, Alpha Seth but stop running.” I turned to him in surprise. How did he know I wanted to run from that room? I secretly clenched my pants at my side and asked, “Is it not wise to run instead of being hurt?” Alpha Gideon’s gaze pinned me in place.“Wolves do not avoid pain,” he said, his voice like steel wrapped in shadow. “They endure it. Learn from it.Then when the time comes…the

SERAPHINAFinal search? I blinked. What was that supposed to mean? And why was she looking in this direction? I shifted a little uncomfortably. She said she was here to find a mate when I was actually a woman. What if she suspected something about me? I would be in great trouble. Grace turned to Alpha Jude and smiled, “I’ve received my father’s permission to spend time with the Alphas here and find myself a mate, since there are no upcoming trials. I hope you don’t mind.” Alpha Jude stood up from his chair in the library with all the grace of a predator bored of its prey. He didn’t look back once. His coat swayed behind him, cigarette still burning between his lips, as his boots echoed across the marble floor. He was already halfway to the door when he spoke in his gruff, amused tone.“As long as nothing about it breaks the Academy rules, I don’t care what you do,” he paused near the exit. “But if any of you idiots even think about disrespecting her—” his head tilted slightly, just
