The True Alpha of Lupine (Seraphina and Ronan) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 Provocation Went Wrong

SERAPHINA

No.

No, no, no.

Grace was in love with Alpha Jude and Alpha Gideon had just witnessed her kiss him.

When I provoked Grace earlier, I hadn’t imagined my words would become the match that ignited this powder keg. Now, I could see it clearly, unmistakably in the murder blazing through Alpha Gideon’s bloodshot eyes as they locked on Alpha Jude.

For one suspended moment, the clearing went still.

Even the wind seemed to freeze, holding its breath as though it too sensed the coming storm.

“Alpha Jude! HOW DARE YOU!!” Alpha Gideon’s roar tore through the night air like a war drum and then, everything erupted

He didn’t move.

He vanished.

A blur of obsidian rage tore through the clearing, his clothes shredding as his body burst into a monstrous black wolf, taller and broader than any I’d ever seen. Muscle and fury coiled beneath his fur, and his blood–red eyes zeroed in on Alpha Jude like a predator who had waited far too long to sink his teeth into prey.

“Dad, NO!” Grace screamed as her father launched forward with bone–cracking force.

Alpha Jude barely had a second to react.

“GET BACK!” he barked, shoving Grace aside mere moments before Alpha Gideon collided with him in midair.

The impact shook the earth.

They crashed to the ground in a cyclone of fangs, fur, and fury. Blood splattered across the field as Alpha Gideon’s claws ripped down Alpha Jude’s chest, except Alpha Jude shifted just in time, bones snapping and reforming into his sleek black wolf to prevent his throat from being torn out.

Chaos exploded around us.

The surrounding Alphas staggered back with horrified shouts, scrambling

“Alpha Gideon’s lost it!” Reed gasped.

to avoid being caught in the whirlwind of violence.

eyes

They’re going to kill each other! Cecins shouted ideas the ground trembled beneath the force of the blows.

Grace was already panicking, trembling with fear and disbelief. Her voice cracked as she screamed, “DAD, STOP!! IT WAS ME WHO KISSED HIMILHE DIDN’T EVEN KNOWII PLEASE STOP THIS PLEASE!”

Only it was too late

They didn’t stop

I stood frozen, horror thick in my throat like a stone

“1. I didn’t mean for this to happen.” I whispered under my breath, guilt curdling in my stomach.

Two Alpha instructors Locked in a battle to the death. Because of a kiss. Because of a secret. Because I pushed Grace.

This is my fault.” I muttered.

“Don’t blame yourself” Asher’s voice came from behind me, low but certain. He stepped beside me, watching the chaos with haunted eyes. “It was bound to happen eventually

My head snapped toward him. “You knew?”

+8 Pearl

He nodded solemnly. “For years, but Grace hides her emotions well. She smiles so brightly, no one notices her heartbreak. Not even her father.”

“The problem is that now everything’s ruined because of my stupidity,” I said bitterly, clenching my fists.

“You’re not the only one at fault.” Finn said quietly, appearing at my other side. His gaze didn’t leave the fight. “I’ve suspected it for a while. I noticed how she watched Alpha Jude when she was around other men. That kind of longing can’t be hidden

forever.

“You knew too?” I blinked in disbelief.

He glanced down at me. “I had my suspicions. Though they were only confirmed when I gave her flowers she was allergic to. She still accepted them, just so she could argue with Alpha Jude. She wanted to provoke him.”

The realization settled over me like ice. It all made sense now, why Finn was suddenly at ease around her, why Asher supported her so easily. Grace’s entire harem act had been smoke and mirrors to distract from the one man she truly loved.

Then Ryker’s voice cut through the tension.

“I saw it coming miles away,” he said, his tone uncharacteristically serious. He sat shirtless under a tree, his torso wrapped tightly in bandages. “A father can barely tolerate another man near his daughter, let alone a friend. This fight was inevitable.”

Our eyes met, and I blinked. I hadn’t expected such insight from Ryker. Before I could respond, another thunderous snarl dragged my gaze back to the battlefield.

Alpha Gideon lunged again with no hesitation, only lethal rage. He went for the throat.

Alpha Jude countered, twisting beneath the onslaught and driving his teeth into Gideon’s flank with the raw power of an Alpha trained for war. Blood spilled freely.

Flesh tore.

Fur flew.

The grass turned crimson.

They didn’t pull punches. They didn’t flinch. They didn’t stop.

I pressed my hand to my lips in horror. “Why doesn’t Alpha Jude say something? Why not just explain it? Grace kissed him, he didn’t return it. He could stop this.”

It’s simple, he’s not fighting to defend himself,” a voice murmured behind ite.

Ronan

His warm chest brushed my back, grounding me in that moment. I didn’t turn, I couldn’t. My voice was barely a whisper,

My breath hitched.

Suddenly it was obvious.

Alpha Jude was’s fighting for pride. He was lighting to keep Grace safe, even from her own father.

Alpha Gadeon slammed Alphia Jude into a tree. The crack was deafening. Splinters burst like shrapnel, but Alpha Jude retaliated with a crushing headbutt that snapped Alpha Gideon’s jaw to the side.

Sull, they kept going

Alphas around us shouted, panic rising. Alpha Hugo looked visibly shaken

Gideon was snarling.

“He’s her father’s friend isn’t he too old for her?” I murmured.

Asher answered quietly. “Alpha Jude is younger than the other instructors. He’s only twelve years older than Grace.”

“That doesn’t change the fact that he’s her father’s friend,” Ryker pointed out, standing slowly, his tall form barely radiating pain.

This won’t stop…” someone whispered. “Until one of them dies.”

“Enough!” Alpha Hugo growled from the side, stepping forward, likely about to intervene-

Until Grace’s voice rang out, shaking the earth more than any blow had.

want to kill each other because of me?” she screamed, “I would rather die first!”
