Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Reluctant Alpha and His Sassy Queen: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 129

“Don’t make it fucking weird, Alpha.”Alpha Ronan snorted, rubbing the back of his neck like a man who’d survived death and didn’t know whether to laugh or spit at fate. “You just saved my miserable ass. I think I’ve earned the right to be a little weird.”Grey rolled her eyes, already walking away, boots crunching against the gravel road that led toward Blackwood Academy. The moon hung low, heavy and bruised, like it was watching them with judgment. Scarlet followed behind, arms wrapped around herself, heart still pounding from the chaos that had refused to settle inside her chest.The ride to Blackwood was tense. Grey sat shotgun, one knee up, blade tucked into her boot like a promise. Scarlet sat in the back, staring out the window, watching trees blur past like memories she didn’t want to face.The car barely stopped before chaos met them.Whispers. Running feet. Wolves pacing in half-shifted forms. “What the hell is going on now?” Scarlet muttered, climbing out.A breathless ome

“Enough.” Ronan’s voice sliced through the room like a blade dragged across bone. Every other sound died.Helena stopped mid-rant. Darius stiffened. Even the moonhealers paused, hands hovering awkwardly over Liora’s bed like they’d been caught stealing breath itself.Ronan’s eyes were cold as winter graves when he spoke again. “No one,” he said slowly, dangerously, “will ever speak ill of Scarlet in my presence again.”The air thickened.The kind of silence that pressed against the ribs until breathing felt like betrayal.Helena swallowed. Darius looked away.And Liora...she scoffed “But she’s the other woman.” The words slithered out of her mouth, bitter and ugly, soaked in envy.Ronan’s jaw tightened but Scarlet wasn’t there to see it.She had already stepped away from the door, heart hammering.She walked down the corridor slowly, boots echoing against stone, her expression unreadable.“So funny,” she muttered under her breath, lips curling. “How that bitch keeps trying to live my

The Lycan’s hand pressed against Scarlet’s chest, warm. She flinched like she’d been burned.“Don’t,” she snapped, shoving his hand away with more force than she intended. Her breath came like broken glass scraping her lungs. “Just...don’t fucking touch me.”The moonhealer froze, eyes darting between them like a prey animal trapped between two predators. The Lycan straightened slowly, his jaw tightening. That softness from earlier vanished, replaced by something cold, controlled, dangerous. A king pulling his crown back into place.“She’s under extreme stress,” the moonhealer said carefully, breaking the silence. “Her body shut down from emotional overload. She needs rest....Lycan”The Lycan lifted a single finger.The moonhealer shut the fuck up instantly.“If anyone,” the Lycan said, voice low and lethal, “finds out I’m still alive...if a single whisper leaks from this room, I will hunt you down myself. I don’t care how deep you hide. I don’t care who you pray to. I’ll know.”The t

The Lycan shrugged his broad shoulders like the weight of the world didn’t sit on them, like centuries of blood, betrayal, and power weren’t stitched into his spine.“Wouldn’t it be a fucking joy,” he said lightly, voice edged with mockery, “if the people found out their precious Lycan isn’t dead after all?”Scarlet stiffened beside him.The night wind tugged at her hair, cold fingers brushing her skin, but it wasn’t the chill that made her uneasy, it was the casual way he said it. Like resurrection was a joke. Like chaos was a party trick.He smirked, eyes gleaming faintly silver. “Relax. Don’t bother your pretty little head about it. For now, you just enjoy your time. Live as Ruby my daughter in secret.” His gaze slid to her face, sharp and knowing. “And Scarlet my wife publicly.”That did it.Scarlet exhaled hard, a sound halfway between a sigh and a laugh that held no humor. She pulled her hand out of his grasp, fingers curling into fists at her sides.“I don’t think it’s that fuc

Grey’s voice cracked through the lecture hall like a whip. “You didn’t have to fucking hit me!”Scarlet turned slowly, eyes burning, the room already buzzing with whispers and shock. Her knuckles still throbbed from where they’d met his chest. She felt it all...the sting, the rage, the humiliation, the satisfaction.“Yes,” she said coldly, stepping closer. “I fucking hit you. And what exactly are you going to do about it?”The words landed harder than her fist.Grey’s heart sank so violently he actually staggered back a step. His mouth opened, then closed. Whatever response he’d prepared...anger, sarcasm, arrogance it died on his tongue.Because she wasn’t the girl who used to soften for him anymore.She was sharp now. The professor’s voice thundered across the hall moments later, sentencing them to detention, but Scarlet barely heard it. Grey’s eyes stayed locked on her, stunned, like he was only just realizing how completely he’d lost her.They walked out in silence.The hallway fe
