Fun? I blinked. What was that supposed to mean? And why was she looking in this direction? I shifted a little uncomfortably. She said she was here to find a mate when I was actually a woman. What if she suspected something about me? I would be in great trouble.

Grace turned to Alpha Jude and smiled, “I’ve received my father’s permission to spend time with the Alphas here and find myself a mate, since there are no upcoming trials. I hope you don’t mind.”

Alpha Jude stood up from his chair in the library with all the grace of a predator bored of its prey. He didn’t look back once.

“As long as nothing about it breaks the Academy rules, I don’t care what you do,” he paused near the exit. “But if any of you idiots even think about disrespecting her- his head tilted slightly, just enough to let the weight of his words sink in, find yourself at a major disadvantage in the next trial. And for the record, I don’t give second warnings,” with that he resumed. his walk.

The library, which had fallen eerily quiet in his presence, erupted again. Only this time, all attention had turned to Grace Gideon.

She stood surrounded by a group of Alphas, their eyes gleaming with interest, hunger, and dangerous hope. Some asked her about her preferences. Others leaned in, smirking, flexing their rank and charm.

But Grace..she wasn’t looking at them.

Her eyes trailed after Alpha Jude’s disappearing form with an expression I couldn’t quite read.

Asher rose slowly to his feet, siniling in surprise, genuine and soft in a way I rarely saw. “Crace,” he said, his voice just as warm “Didn’t expect to see you here”

“True” she grinned and hugged ham in a way that had the other Alphas grash their teeth

Asher hugged her a second later. “You did not grow taller than you were before.”

bluked. Did Asher and Grace know each other?

The sound of sharp, barely contained growls and shifting chairs rippled bough the library. Alphas weren’t subtle when they

were jealous. Grace was probably unaware of that fact. She laughed, light and pretty, still holding Asher’s hand as if they’d

done it a thousand times before.

“Luna never told me you applied to Lupine,” she said, brushing her hair over her shoulder. “It was a shock to see “She didn’t know until I was already accepted,” he replied with a chuckle. “What about you? Sneaking into all–male academies again?
