All Chapters of The Reluctant Alpha and His Sassy Queen: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Scarlet slightly cracked open the restroom door, her pulse thumping like war drums in her ears. She didn’t push it wide....just enough to see Liora and that same girl who, earlier during the gathering, had been bold enough to suggest that the representatives for Black Woods Academy should be the highest-performing students. The bitch who had put all eyes on Scarlet unintentionally. The bitch who practically painted a target on her back in front of Alpha Ronan’s razor-sharp gaze.“What?” the girl complained in a whining, greedy tone. “Just a few taels and gold jewelry? Do you think it’s that easy to speak to an Alpha when everyone else was fucking shivering in fear?”Scarlet held her breath, watching, listening.Liora scoffed, tossing her hair back. “You’re becoming too greedy.”But before she could finish, the girl snapped like a wild dog, “You greedy cunt!”Scarlet’s eyes widened, shocked at the nerve. But Liora didn’t even flinch. She didn’t raise her voice. She didn’t slap the gi

“Don’t fucking hypnotize anybody,” Scarlet hissed, voice trembling despite the steel she tried to hold onto. Her fingers twitched like she was resisting the urge to claw the earth itself. Panic surged through her chest. She knew Mira...when Mira’s eyes opened, shit always happened.Mira frowned, rolling her shoulders as if shaking off a chain. “Days of my eyes being bandaged taught me one thing, Scar… I’m not a fucking child anymore. I can control my powers.”Her confidence didn’t ease Scarlet at all. If anything, it made her chest tighten. Scarlet’s wolf clawed violently beneath her skin, snarling, "Let me out. I’ll tear their throats."“No,” Scarlet whispered to herself. “You’ll get us disqualified, you unhinged beast.”Liora took a step closer, her perfume sugary sweet and nauseating when mixed with the metallic scent of blood and adrenaline around them. Her smile widened, bright and wicked like a blade with light glinting off it.“I’ve always wanted to hurt you,” she murmured. “An

“Cheat?”The professor’s face twisted as he stared at Scarlet. The veins on his forehead bulged like they were ready to snap. His eyes flared with a fury that made half the class shrink in their seats.“How dare you, you lowly girl, cheat in an exam hall?” he thundered. “I despise cheating more than I despise death itself! You think you can get away with this? In my class?”Everyone stiffened.This wasn’t just any professor.He was Professor Do-Not-Cheat...a nickname students whispered with fear. A man so obsessed with academic purity that he once disqualified a whole classroom because one student breathed too loudly while writing.And today, Scarlet was his target.The professor slammed his palm on the desk so hard the room vibrated. “Scarlet What the fuck is your stupid other name....Whatever, rise to your feet, you bloody cheat!” he yelled. “I will not only make you come back next lunar year as a refresher...” his face darkened into something demonic, “...I’ll ruin your life myself

If Ronan kept digging, he would uncover everything...Liora’s accusation, her pathetic manipulation. She could practically feel the tight thread of control snapping around her throat. One wrong move, one wrong breath, and her entire façade would crumble like ash.So she stepped forward quickly, wearing that soft trembling expression she had perfected in front of mirrors since she was twelve...big doe eyes, downturned lips, a fragile little flower who couldn’t hurt a soul.“Alpha Ronan,” Liora whispered, voice gentle enough to coat a blade, “the professor didn’t mean any harm. Scarlet just… doesn’t excel academically...”Ronan didn’t even look at her.“Shut up.”The word dropped like a guillotine. A few students flinched. The professor stiffened. Scarlet froze mid-breath.Liora blinked...once, twice...like she hadn’t heard right.Ronan still refused to turn toward her. His voice hardened.“Will you shut up and complete your work, Liora?”The humiliation slapped her so hard her cheeks b

Mira tugged on Scarlet’s sleeve, practically vibrating with anxious curiosity. “Who is that student? Does she have two heads? Did the Moon Goddess personally come and whisper answers into her ear?” Her tone tried to stay playful, but fear cracked through every syllable. The hallway was loud, buzzing, feral...even the wolves that usually acted civilized were pacing like they’d smelled blood.Scarlet didn’t want to check the list. She didn’t want to walk into a crowd of whispering, wide-eyed students who already looked like they were waiting for her to crumble. She knew she hadn’t answered every question. She knew her score would be low...maybe embarrassingly low. Her wolf was already gnawing at her insides, irritated by the thought of failure.But Mira, stubborn as ever, dragged her anyway.Their footsteps echoed against the stone floors as they neared the crowd. Dozens of students parted when they saw Scarlet approaching, eyes widening with something between fear and disbelief. Scarle
