Chapter 61 — Into the Night

Kai didn’t realize how loud his heartbeat was until he stepped into the hallway behind Adrian.Every sound felt amplified.The soft creak of the dormitory floorboards. The faint hum of electricity running through the academy lights. Even Adrian’s steady footsteps ahead of him seemed unnaturally clear.Kai pulled his jacket tighter around himself as they moved quickly down the corridor.“Where exactly are we going?” he whispered.Adrian didn’t slow.“You’ll see.”Kai frowned at his back.“That’s not reassuring.”Adrian glanced over his shoulder briefly.“Relax. If I wanted to turn you in, I would’ve taken you to the faculty building instead.”Kai sighed quietly.“Comforting.”They reached the stairwell at the end of the hall, and Adrian pushed the heavy metal door open. The cold night air from the lower floors drifted upward, brushing against Kai’s skin.Normally that would’ve been enough to calm him.Tonight the heat inside him barely reacted to it.Kai swallowed.The warmth in his ch

The silence inside the abandoned hall stretched deep into the night.Kai wasn’t sure how much time had passed. The heat inside his body came in waves now—sometimes dull and manageable, other times sharp enough to make his muscles tense without warning.But Adrian’s jacket helped.More than Kai wanted to admit.The Alpha’s scent surrounded him—warm, steady, grounding in a way that soothed the restless instincts burning under Kai’s skin. Every breath he took carried traces of it, and with each inhale the tension in his chest eased just slightly.Kai hated that.Because it meant Adrian was right.He shifted slightly where he sat against the pillar, pulling the jacket tighter around himself. The fabric was too big, the sleeves hanging past his wrists, but the warmth made it difficult to care.Across from him, Adrian remained exactly where he had been for the past several minutes.Watching.

The moment Kai said “Don’t move,” the air between them shifted.It was subtle.But undeniable.Adrian froze exactly where he was, crouched only inches away. He didn’t move closer, didn’t move away. His breathing stayed slow and controlled, though Kai could see the faint tension in his shoulders now.For the first time since this whole situation began, Adrian looked like he was concentrating very hard on something.Control.Kai immediately regretted saying it.Not because Adrian had done anything wrong.But because now he was hyper-aware of everything.The warmth radiating from Adrian’s body.The steady rhythm of his breathing.The faint scent of pine and something darker that clung to his skin.Kai squeezed his eyes shut again.This was a mistake.A terrible mistake.His heat pulsed again—slow, deep, spreading through his chest and stomach like

Chapter 64 — The Scent of Control

The night deepened around them.The abandoned training hall remained quiet, the only sounds inside the room being Kai’s uneven breathing and the faint whisper of wind slipping through the cracked windows.Kai still held Adrian’s wrist.Neither of them had mentioned it again.But both of them were very aware of it.The warmth of Adrian’s skin grounded him more than Kai wanted to admit. Every time another wave of heat pulsed through his body, that steady contact kept the sensation from spiraling completely out of control.It was frustrating.Embarrassing.And unfortunately… effective.Kai stared up at the ceiling, watching pale moonlight stretch across the cracked stone beams overhead.“You’re still here,” he muttered quietly.Adrian glanced down at him.“You sound surprised.”Kai shrugged weakly.“You’re an Alpha.”Adrian sighed softly.
