The True Alpha of Lupine (Seraphina and Ronan) novel Chapter 134

SERAPHINA

What did she just say? My eyes snapped wide. “Love quarrel?”

Did she find out I was a woman? Or worse, was it Ronan’s love interest that had me caught?

“Don’t think I didn’t notice,” she smirked.

My stomach dropped. Even Phina froze inside me, realizing Grace might have caught on. If that was the case, I was in serious trouble because she wasn’t just anyone. She was Alpha Gideon’s daughter and the soulmate of Alpha Jude. Two Alpha instructors who could expel me faster than I could blink.

“Your face tells me that I’m right,” she said, her smirk turning downright wicked. My pulse thundered in my ears, my legs threatening to give out. She leaned in, her voice silky. “Don’t worry. Nowadays, it’s normal.”

Normal?

Every worst–case scenario flashing through my head came to a screeching halt. “Normal?” I echoed.

A she–wolf sneaking into an all–boys Alpha academy in disguise was normal?

“Since when?” I blurted.

She gave me a baffled look. “What century are you living in? Of course it’s normal. I don’t judge you. If you’re too scared to admit it, I’ll keep your secret.”

Now I was just confused. The more she spoke, the less sense it made.

“What secret are you talking about?” I asked carefully.

She rolled her eyes, then leaned close enough for her breath to tickle my ear. “That you’re gay and in love with Alpha Ronan.“.

My brain short–circuited.

Gay? In love with Ronan?

“Y–you misunderstand!” I stammered.

A strange wave of relief washed over me, thank the Moon Goddess she hadn’t guessed I was a woman, but the misunderstanding she had landed on wasn’t much better.

She chuckled. “Don’t pretend.”

“I’m not!” I hissed, leaning closer so no one else could overhear. “I’m not gay, and neither is Ronan!”

I’d heard whispers circulating about me because of my looks and I could live with them, but if rumors about Ronan started spreading, that could cause him serious problems.

She arched a brow. “Not gay? Then what do you call it when two men are in love? I see the way you look at

each other.”

I blinked. I look at him like that?

“Especially Ronan,” she went on, “Even right now.”

Against my better judgment, I glanced at him only to find his gaze locked on me. My stupid heart gave a jolt, and I quickly looked away.

“See?” Grace’s smirk widened, “And now you’ve had a love quarrel, which is why you’re denying it. It’s written all over your face.”

“It’s not like that-“I began, but she had already turned, her smile switching to sweet charm.

“Alpha Finn,” she greeted warmly as Finn approached.

He returned the smile, clearly ready to join in whatever game she was playing.

Grace stood in the middle of the hall and clapped her hands sharply, drawing every Alpha’s attention.

“Everyone, today I’m here for a purpose,” she announced, her voice carrying a practiced charm.

The crowd turned toward her, curiosity flickering in their eyes. Grace smiled sweetly. “I know I left the Academy without a word. I never got to thank all of you, so here I am. Not just for farewells, but to host a small thank–you party this evening before I leave!”

Excited murmurs filled the hall, followed by loud cheers from the Alphas.

“What exactly is the meaning of this?” I asked Grace, forcing a polite smile.
