After I left, the twin Alphas went crazy novel Chapter 85

Ryan didn’t respond right away, and I could imagine his face, torn between guilt and frustration. “I’m going back,” I heard him mutter. His voice was low, distracted. He wasn’t in the mood to explain himself, not to Linda, not to anyone.

Outside, the cool air greeted me as I stepped out of the school building, the tension from the encounter with Ryan and Linda still lingering. But it quickly faded as I spotted Lirian waiting near the school gates, leaning casually against a tree with Eric by his side.

Lirian had changed out of his tracksuit, now wearing a dark jacket over a white shirt, the sunlight glinting off his messy black hair. He looked effortlessly cool, as always.

When Lirian saw me, his expression softened, and he pushed away from the tree, striding over to meet me. Without a word, he reached for my school bag, taking it from my hands as if it were the most natural thing in the world. His actions were subtle but spoke volumes, and I couldn’t help but notice the way people around us stared.

They were all shocked, of course. Lirian—the untouchable, aloof heir to the Iron Claw Pack—was acting as if I were someone important to him. And that was something they had never expected to see.

Lirian didn’t seem to care about the stares or whispers. His attention was solely on me. “Hungry?” he asked, his voice low and calm. “Let’s grab something to eat.”

I nodded, feeling a small smile tug at my lips. “Yeah, let’s go.

Eric, who had been lingering nearby, gave me an awkward smile. “Hey, Sofia,” he greeted, trying to be friendly. “How are you?”

I ignored him, not in the mood for pleasantries.

Eric shifted uncomfortably, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m really sorry, okay? I shouldn’t have believed those rumors. It was my fault. I was wrong.”

His apology was genuine, but I still wasn’t impressed. I turned to Lirian, my voice edged with disdain. You’re friends with him?**”

Lirian gave Eric a glance before shaking his head. “No.”
