The Alpha's Fake Mate
She barely made it past the main gate before she noticed it, clusters of students whispering in tight circles, phones angled slightly too casually, eyes flicking toward her and then quickly away.
It was subtle at first. Then it wasn't.
By the time she reached the central walkway, the whispers were impossible to ignore.
"That's her…"
"Lucian Voss's girlfriend…"
"No way, right? She looks so normal."
"I heard Aiden got warned personally…"
Elara's steps slowed. Her fingers tightened around her bag strap.
Girlfriend.
The word hit her like a headache she couldn't escape. She turned her face slightly downward and walked faster, hoping foolishly that invisibility might still be an option.
