Chapter 140

~Dristan’s POV~

I said nothing.

"New girl shows up, heads straight for her. You know what happens if she proves to be a threat, right, Dristan Alexander?"

I stood, slipped the phone into my pocket, adjusted my black sleeves, tucked one of my hands in my pocket, and squared my shoulders.

Then I turned, facing the entrance, keeping back to him. My voice was calm, controlled, and lethal. "Remember who runs the student council."

"That wasn’t an answer to my question."

I finally turned my gaze on him. A smirk pulled at Riven’s lips. I could see it in the reflection of the glass as Riven kept his gaze outside.

My voice dropped. "I heard you just fine, Riven Alucard. "Valerie Nightshade is under my protection. She won’t be a problem."

"And if she is?" Riven prompted, his tone lighter than it should’ve been.

A beat passed as Riven’s fingers tapped his knee.

I finally turned my body, slightly, just enough to let a sliver of power bleed into the air. My wolf stirred beneath my skin, brushing up against my aura like a silent growl beneath velvet.

"You let me worry about her," I said quietly. "Concern yourself with the rest of the school."

Riven shrugged, still reclining. "But she’s brought in the biggest buzz this year. You know what a gem like that becomes in a place like this?"

Then, softer: "She’s too loud to stay hidden, Dristan. And if your precious Valerie is drawing enemies again... she’ll burn for it."

Before he could finish the thought—

That was it.

My aura flared.

A sharp, suffocating wave of power burst outward, cracking through the silent room like a warning shot. The glass windows shuddered. Not a full release. Just a taste.

I let Soren push forward into my eyes, letting that electric red glow shimmer at the edge of my vision. Just enough for him to remember who he was talking to.

"Behave, Vice President Alucard," I growled, in a low voice and final. "You won’t get a second warning."

Riven tilted his head lazily but didn’t flinch. Didn’t blink.

Instead, a soft chuckle peeled from his lips, smooth as velvet and twice as mocking. "Protective much," Riven mused aloud, sliding his gaze lazily toward me. "How sweet."

I turned my back and walked out, the echo of my boots cutting through the silence.

"Let him laugh. Let him watch." Soren echoed in my mind.

Valerie Nightshade isn’t just my mate. She’s mine to protect. And anyone who thinks she’s easy to pick off was about to find out just how ruthless I can be.

Behind me, I could still hear the echo of Riven’s laugh and mutter, "Let’s see how long that shield lasts, Alpha."

——

I hadn’t even made it halfway down the corridor before my phone buzzed in my pocket, making me halt. I didn’t check it immediately.

My mind was still partially tethered to the conversation with Riven—his laughter still echoed faintly in my skull like an itch I couldn’t reach.

I had to look into this year’s transfer students and acceptance and what was happening.

PSA was a school that was strict and based on merit, and for Alphas’ and betas’ children, it trained the best of the best.

I understood the royal transfer students. It was part of the alliance treaty. I understood Valerie Nightshade, but I did not understand Mariane’s.

But when the vibration continued—two short pulses followed by one long—I knew exactly who it was.

I pulled out my phone. No name, just a number saved under a three-digit code.

A23 – Father’s Beta.

Soren stirred in the back of my mind. "You know what this means."
