The True Alpha of Lupine (Seraphina and Ronan) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 What’s His Deal?

SERAPHINA

Alpha Asher’s jaw clenched the moment his eyes found me. The same cheek I had slapped yesterday was still faintly pink, and his glare burned like wildfire.

He stepped back, his expression twisted in fury, as if he were staring at his sworn enemy.

“You blind, you little bastard?” he snarled, voice low and dangerous as he stormed toward me, murder in his eyes. The clearing fell into a tense silence, every Alpha pausing mid–bite, mid–word. All eyes turned to us.

“You think you’re a hero because I let you live after you smacked me?” He grabbed me by the collar, yanking me forward. Some of the Alphas around us lit up with excitement, cheering quietly as if waiting for blood to spill, and hoping it would be

mine.

“Now that you’ve touched me like you accused me of touching you yesterday,” he growled, his voice sharp as broken glass,

shouldn’t I repay you a hundredfold?”

His hand began to shift–muscles tensing, claws extending toward my jaw.

But before I could even react, a hand darted between us–stealing the last piece of steak from my plate..

Asher’s claw froze mid–air.

“Mm…” Ronan took a lazy bite of the steak, chewing slowly as every Alpha gaped in stunned silence. Then, with maddening nonchalance, he glanced at me and murmured, “Since you’re about to die today, I figured this would go to waste.”

He licked his lips with a bored expression.

My lips twitched. What a great man.

I ignored the gasping crowd and turned back to the Alpha still gripping my collar, One problem at a time.

“I’m sorry, Alpha Asher,” I said calmly. Asher’s scowl flickered into something closer to confusion. “I was wrong.” I continued, raising my

voice so everyone could hear. “I believed something that wasn’t true. And I acted without hearing your side.”

The air shifted, curious murmurs rippling across the clearing. Asher blinked, clearly not expecting this.

“You didn’t touch me. You didn’t deserve what I did.” Then my eyes flicked past him, past his shoulder, straight to the one who had “But someone else did.”

Reed.

His eyes widened. The color drained from his face as the attention slowly shifted toward him, like a tide of judgment. Whispers began, accusations cloaked in gossip

“You accusing me now, you little bastard?” Reed barked, his voice sharp and defensive.

“No,” I said with a tight smile. Im exposing you, dirty little mutt.”

Reed’s expression twisted in rage as I barely contained my fury I couldn’t reveal the truth, not yet, not without admitting I was the she–wolf in the forest. But I could warn him.

“Do you have any prout?” he demanded

“No, that’s why you are still breathing. I remarked, glaring at him. “This is your first and last warning” I said coolly. “Stay away from me Don’t cruss my path again”

“Or what he spat, stalking toward me

I smiled coldly “Or next ti

I’ll shove that filthy hand of yours down your own i

own throat a

and twist your pretty little neck until

A little farther out, under the shade of an old pine, stood Dante. He watched the entire scene unfold while sipping lazily from a silver flask.

“If I were you, Dante said, voice dry. “I’d either kill him or kill myself after being humiliated like that in front of the entire Academy

“I’m going to kill that little mutt,” he growled. “The only reason he’s still breathing is because Ronan’s always hovering aroun like a damn shadow. But that ends now. His countdown has started. I’ll gut him when no one’s watching, when he least expects it.”

Dante let out a disappointed hum.

Reed’s eyes gleamed with renewed interest “How?”

“A death by humiliation, Dante murmured, “just like Seth Darven brought low by his own shadow protector.”
