“If we’re going to that gala as partners, everyone is going to be looking at us. They’re going to be looking for the spark. They’re going to want to know if the rumors are true.” “What rumors?” Ethan asked, his voice trembling. “That the two biggest rivals in the history of the academy didn’t just merge their designs,” Liam said, his thumb tracing slow, deliberate circles over the back of Ethan’s hand. “That they merged everything else, too.”

But the smallest flicker of breath passed her lips was enough to keep me moving. I carried her up the slope even as every muscle braced like I was carrying fate itself. When I broke into the clearing near the pack house, wolves turned, eyes narrowing, confusion sparking. My Beta, Rian, stepped forward, brows drawn tight. “You’re bringing a rogue into our walls?” His voice was low and edged. A ripple of agreement ran through the others. Rogues meant danger, sickness, chaos. I met his stare with mine, the air thickening with my dominance. “She comes in,” I said. “Now move.”

She asked, causing me to freeze up. Shit! I let my fear of losing someone again get to me that I showed too much … She stood still, looking at me calmly, like there had to be some sensible explanation to that. “Didnt you tell me all about how he was alpha Zane’s rival a long time ago?” I didn’t think about it, not even remembering if there was a time like that. Just anything to cover up my tracks. She thought about it, scratching her head. “Ohh I guess I did then.” She waved it off.

He looked like he’d aged ten years in ten minutes. "You," he said, pointing a finger at me. "Coach, I’m so sorry about the bet, I didn't think—" "Forget the skirt," he barked. "I saw you the other day. In the gym. When you took Marcus down." I blinked. "Oh. Yeah. That was just... luck?" "That wasn't luck. That was elite-level spatial awareness and footwork. We’ve got the Rivalry Game against State on Friday. The scouts are coming. If we show up without our star player, the program loses its funding. We’re dead in the water."

Being Alpha Primus was supposed to be an honor, but watching him now, it looked more like a burden. His brothers didn't baby him. They didn't coddle him or try to make it easier. But I could see it in the way Jax deferred to him on certain decisions. In the way Riven backed him up without being asked. They hated each other right now because of me, but underneath all that jealousy, they were still solid. Still brothers. Riven glanced at the book in my hands and smiled. "That's part of a series. If you want the rest, they're in the library. Third shelf on the left."

he asked with narrowed eyes. “Some trust here please,” Rah insisted. “I have never ever said anything about you or Mila to anyone,” he added. “I know,” Arthur nodded. “So, can you tell me what I am looking for here?” Rah asked again picking up the book titled ‘Clans – friend and foe’ “Who is the biggest foe to wolf kind as per that book?” Arthur asked as he pointed at the book Rah was holding. Rah shuffled through it and then dropped it disappointed, “It just explains how a clan is your friend or foe. No mention of oldest, deadliest clans.”

James said breaking the awkward silence, his voice came out more curious than he planned. Emily could feel annoyance building in her gut “Infamous? I didn't realise I had a reputation.” A smirk appeared on his lips, he was going to enjoy taunting her. “Come on, you're the daughter of my family’s biggest rival, you definitely did not think I'd know nothing about you, did you?” Emily lifted her chin, standing her ground. “So you must know I'm here against my will right?” “Yes, I am well aware of that, but as I am. But here we are.” He replied as his gaze darkened.

“We’ve already established that you’re the pervert ordering blow-up dolls. I’m just being a courteous neighbor and delivering your box. I have zero interest in picking you up. Less than zero, actually. I have negative interest in picking you up. And those aren’t my friends.” Mr. Dick Balsac steps forward, and I swear I mean to step back and put more space between us, but I’m somehow stuck, rendered immobile by the way this guy smells—masculine, like soap and cologne and—Oh God, I need to stop smelling him. He’s an arrogant ass who clearly thinks he’s God’s gift to women, and just because I had two glasses of wine and apparently lost all sense of reason doesn’t mean I should stand here sniffi

Does he… does he like me? “Well, I’m off to school now. Bye!” I grabbed my bag, needing desperately to escape the intensity of his presence, and hurried out, waving my hands behind me as I fled. 🐺 Alpha’s Return and a Mate’s Betrayal Shifters Academy was buzzing. The energy was electric, vibrating with the news that Alpha Liam Gravens, the epitome of Alpha perfection, was back. He was the subject of every whispered fantasy, including my own. But my heart, foolishly, was bound to his younger brother, Noah Gravens, the Gamma-in-waiting.
