All Chapters of The Reluctant Alpha and His Sassy Queen: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Scarlet’s fingers twitched weakly against the soft linen of the infirmary bed. Her breathing came shallow and uneven, her body sore from the storm it had endured. Slowly, painfully, she blinked her eyes open. The white ceiling above her blurred into focus...sterile, quiet, far too clean for someone like her.Her lips parted, dry and cracked. “Where… am I?” she croaked.A woman in a white coat leaned over her, adjusting the IV tube connected to Scarlet’s bruised arm. “You’re safe now, sweetheart,” the woman said gently. Her voice was calm but firm, the tone of someone who had seen too much suffering to be fooled by silence. “You’re in the Blackwood University health ward.”Scarlet tried to sit up, but pain stabbed through her side like a blade. She winced, clutching her ribs. “Easy,” the doctor said quickly, pressing her back against the pillow. “You’ve been through hell. How do you feel now?”“Like I died and came back just to suffer again,” Scarlet muttered, her voice rasping.The d

Scarlet could feel the weight of his presence pressing down on her chest long before Alpha Ronan even moved.He stood by the lectern, staring straight ahead...but something in his jaw ticked. Then, without warning, he strode across the room, each step echoing like a gunshot.Every student froze.Liora straightened her back, a radiant smile blooming across her face like she was ready to be worshipped. "He’s coming to me", she thought smugly, brushing her hair over one shoulder. "Of course he is. He’s finally recognized his lover."But Ronan didn’t stop in front of her.He stopped in front of Scarlet.The sound of his hand slamming down on Scarlet’s desk cracked through the silence like thunder. The desk rattled. Her pen rolled off the surface, clattering onto the floor.Scarlet’s breath hitched, but she didn’t flinch. Not this time.Ronan leaned down, his eyes cold and sharp like the edge of a blade. “Don’t you ever stare at me like that again,” he growled, voice low and venomous. “Yo

⚠️ THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXPLICIT AND ADULT CONTENTS. Scarlet smirked, blood rushing where his fingers pressed too hard. “Can you please stop talking and show me what the big bad Alpha does to a wolf who doesn’t kneel?”His eyes flickered ... rage, surprise, something else. Desire? No. He’d never admit that.“Don’t tempt me,” he growled.Scarlet's voice dropped to a whisper, her eyes gleaming with a dangerous hunger. "Why? Afraid of losing control?"Ronan's jaw locked, his eyes flashing with barely contained lust. Before Scarlet could react, he moved lightning fast, his hand slipping up her skirt to grip her inner thigh possessively. His wolf was in heat, and it showed in the way he stared at her, his gaze searing into her very soul."Again," Scarlet breathed, her voice trembling slightly as Ronan cupped her chin, forcing her to meet his intense stare. "Not again."But then his lips crashed against hers in a searing, passionate kiss that left Scarlet reeling. She wanted to push him

Mira lounged against the doorframe, arms folded, watching Scarlet scramble to dress.“Damn, girl,” she said, voice sharp as a claw. “He talked to you like you are his bitch.”Scarlet froze halfway through buttoning her shirt. “You listening at doors now?”“This is no time to be a fool, darling.” Mira’s tone was light, but her eyes glimmered with a predator’s curiosity. “I mean, look at you. Wrecked. You think he’ll even remember your name tomorrow?”Scarlet glared, jaw tight. “Why the hell do you care?”“Because I like watching people fall,” Mira said simply. “It reminds me not to trip.”Scarlet yanked on her boots, refusing to meet Mira’s gaze. Her fingers trembled. The ache inside her chest burned worse than claws through flesh. One moment Ronan had looked at her like she was the only thing alive, and the next he’d spit her name like poison. The memory made her stomach turn.Mira kept talking, pacing the small dorm room. “You should be smart about this. Turn it to your advantage.

Alpha Ronan stepped out of the luxury car like he owned the damn planet.The metal gleamed under the late sun, the hum of the engine fading behind him as the wolves scattered, parting instinctively. Power clung to him the way heat does to flame ... thick, suffocating, magnetic. His boots hit the pavement with precision, the click echoing through the courtyard of Blackwood University.In his hand, he rolled a small object between his fingers ... a delicate hairpin, glittering with faint traces of silver. The scent still clung to it. Scarlet scent.He turned it over once more, his expression unreadable. Then his gaze lifted, catching Beta Alaric’s approach.“Beta,” Ronan said, his voice cold as forged steel. “I trust you gave her enough money for pills too.”Alaric froze for a heartbeat, then saw the pin and understood. His head bowed in respect. “Yes, Alpha. She… Liora had collected more than enough, Alpha.”Ronan’s stare lingered for a second too long. The Beta’s pulse visibly ticke
