The True Alpha of Lupine (Seraphina and Ronan) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 What’s Wrong With Hin

Seraphina

The next morning, I woke up alone in the room. Ronan’s bed was empty. I sat there with the memory of last night’s argument, seeing it had stolen sleep from me. Two plates of food that I had noticed last night still sat there. Meals were supposed to only be eaten in the cafeteria under the strict room codes but he had still brought it to the room. I lifted the cover to discover that it really was spice mushroom and truffle cream stew. He had not been lying.

“He brought it for us,” Phina stated softly in my mind.

My grip subconsciously tightened on the plate. A part of me imagined him waiting for me in this room so that we could eat together. I reached out to touch the cold food and took a bite of it. It was still delicious.

His plate of food was just as cold and untouched as mine. “He hasn’t eaten as well,” Phina stated.

My chest tightened as I quickly covered the food and clutched my chest. I should not think about him. He was not like I thought. He was just like other men.

After standing there for who knew how long I headed for the shower before the other Alphas woke up.

Later at morning training, most of the Alphas were absent due to injury. My eyes secretly searched while I was taking a run around of the Academy grounds. Ronan was not there.

I bumped into an Alpha because of my distraction. “Watch out,” he growled at me.

“Sorry,” I muttered and ran past him.

Everyone was focused on talking about Grace and Alpha Jude during training. I did not know if she was still in the Academy or if she had left. Though Alpha Jude was nowhere to be seen. Something about the Academy seemed to have changed.

Later, when I entered the cafeteria the atmosphere was lively. Men were being their usual selves laughing, telling dirty jokes, and eating. I was only five minutes late and some asshole ate my share of eggs, sausage, and apple juice. It added another layer to my irritation.

Grabbing whatever scraps were left for my breakfast, just as I looked for the spot to sit, Finn was beside me, “Morning,” smiling as he pulled a chair for me.

I blinked at his handsome face and then chuckled. “What’s with you?”

I could not remember him pulling a chair for me before. It was kind of strange.

“You took tired, Seth,” he brushed his thumb under my eyes, “Did you not sleep well last night?”

I froze under his sudden touch. It was gentle and full of care. “You are not injured, right?” he slid closer to me.

My heart jumped with this sudden closeness. What was with him all of a sudden?

“Hey, do you want to be called gay?” I stared at him blankly, slowly pulling my face away from his touch.

“Gay?” Suddenly he burst out in laughter, “I don’t mind.”

I was dumbfounded. What did he just say? “Did you get hit in the head during a fight with a rogue? You are different than usual,” I rolled my eyes, taking my seat.

“You think so?” he smiled, taking a seat across from me.

“Yeah, you look like a playful teenager,” I chuckle.

“Well I am happy,” he murmured, placing a sausage and egg on my plate.

Chapter 131 What’s Wrong With Him

I looked at his share of food in surprise then back to him, “So happy that you are not hungry?” He did not have much left to eat.

“Yeah,” he grinned, “I found out something that I always wished to be true.”

Seeing him happy made my own lips curled up. Finn looked even more handsome while smiling. I wondered what he learned that made him so happy. “Then let’s share your happiness,” saying that I raised my hand to return half of the sausage. “You should taste it. It’s hell delicious,” But he gently stopped my wrist and picked my half eaten sausage and put it in his mouth.

“True, it is really delicious,” he winked.

Phina froze inside me in surprise just like I did. He ate mine…And that wink.

I slowly lowered my gaze and focused on the food feeling strange in my heart. So to lessen the awkwardness between us I asked casually, “Are your injuries okay?”

“Yes, there was not much. A few scratches. I returned to my room but the night was lonely. I missed you.”

“Missed me?” I blinked two or three times. “Were we not in the Nightshade Alley just yesterday together?”
