Chapter 28 Are You Feeling Sick?
SERAPHINA
We returned to the Academy the next morning, and the moment I hit the bed, I passed out–skipping lunch entirely. My body ached from the hunt, exhaustion pulling at my <b>limbs</b>, but catching <b>any </b><b>peaceful </b>sleep in that dorm room was nearly impossible
The constant yelling, growling, and <b>vulgar </bughter of Reed and Cassius bled into my ears like an endless migraine. Today was even worse, they’d invited their equally obnoxious friends over. It wasn’t anything new, buttely, they’d been acting like <b>absolute </b><b>rogues</b><b>, </bpletely <b>out </b>of <b>control</b>.
My head throbbed from theck of proper sleep, <b>and </b>the relentless chaos they caused only made it worse. I couldn’t change. bathe, or even enjoy a moment of calm<b>. </b>They often walked around stark naked after showers without a shred of decency. And the way they talked about she–wolves–filthy, crude, and utterly revolting–made me want to vomit. The peace I so desperately needed didn’t exist, and over the past few days. I <b>was </b>slowly reaching my limit.
It was bing impossible to live <b>in </b>that room with them<b>, </b>and a part of me suspected they were doing it all intentionally- to provoke me.
With no hope of sleep, I sat up on my bed, casting a tired nce around the room. As expected, the <b>Alphas </b>were behaving like wild animals again–<b>and </b>once more, Ronan’s bed was empty.
“Why is he never here?” I murmured to Phina.
I’ve been wondering the same thing.” she replied. “Hees <b>and </b>goes like he owns the <b>ce</b>, and he doesn’t even follow the academy’s curfew rules. It’s like he only shows up to check on things
I pressed my lips together, deep in <b>thought</b>, unaware that Finn had just entered <b>the </b><b>room </b>with a <b>can </b>of juice in his hand. That’s when it happened–Cassius, with a sly smirk, stretched his leg out and deliberately tripped him.
“AHH–** Finn yelped as <b>he </b>fell forward, the can of juice flying from his hand.
By the time I turned my head in confusion, it was toote. The juice hadnded on my bed, soaking it and the sheets.
I sat there, stunned. The Alphas gasped in <b>mock </b>sympathy.
“Damn, that bed’spletely ruined,” one of them said.
“Fion, you gotta watch your step, man! Now Seth has to sleep on a soggy
a soggy mattress,” another added, pretending to care.
Their fake concern didn’t fool me. I nced from their smug expressions to my drenched bed.
Finn scrambled to his feet, panic in his eyes. “I–I’m so sorry, Seth! I didn’t <b>thean </b>to…”
“It’s okay.” I said quickly, rising to strip the soaked sheets. But my heart sank when I saw the juice had soaked into the
attress beneath. There was no chance I’d be issued a new one.
hat.” Finn mumbled, clearly mortified. “Here, switch mattresses with me. I’ll <b>take </b>the ruined one
I smiled softly, shaking my head. There’s no need. Don’t worry about it.”
Even though I hated the thought of sleeping on a ruined mattress, I hated the idea of lying on another wolf’s scent–soakeil bed even more. I needed to figure something out. Of course it was at that moment something squelched under my bare foot.
Hooked down
Used nurs Sucky Sled. Full of Semen
My skin crawled My stomach turned violently.
Those sack bastards had been doing this every night–moaning like beasts in heat, tossing their filthy tissues around the room like trash. The scent of their release hung in the <b>air </b>like a suffocating fog all the time, and now I’d stepped in it.
Abrat rose in my chest, furled by rage and daugust I turned my gare to Reed and Cassius, who were <b>already </b><b>smirking</b>.

“Stop leaving your trash everywhere.” I said, voice cold and sharp.
They simply chuckled and turned <b>away</b>.

Furious, I mmed the cupboard door shut, ready tosh out–but before I could move, <b>a </b>voice thundered through the
<b>“</b>What the fuck<b>!</b><b>” </b>
Roman
Every Alpha in the room froze.
Reed shot up from his seat, his confidence dissolving into panic. <b>Ronan’s </b>eyes narrowed like a predator’s, his tone low and dangerous. “Clean up your shit. And if I ever step on anything like this again, I’ll bury you right here under this floor.”
Reed looked utterly <b>humiliated </b>in front of his friends but didn’t dare challenge him. Silently, he and Cassius began picking up the mess, casting <b>me </b>hateful res as they <b>did</b>. I returned their res with a cold sneer only to catch Ronan watching me.
That gaze.
Intense. Prating. As if he could <b>see </b>straight through me.
quickly looked away, trying to pretend 1 hadn’t noticed, and turned to Finn, starting a casual conversation just to escape Ronan’s presence. But he didn’t leave.
Instead, he strolled to his bed, settled himself on it like a damn king, and kept staring
At me.
My heartbeat kicked up, thudding wildly in my chest as I felt his eyes fix on my back
Why wasn’t he leaving?
Why did he always stare at my back like that?
Every <b>time </b>he did, I felt like my disguise was slipping like the scent–masking perfume was losing its hold.
I turned <b>my </b>gaze to meet his <b>and </b>to my surprise, he didn’t look away. He held eye contact with me with unsettling calm.
“What are you looking at?” I demanded, voice <b>sharp </b>with unease.
He parted his lips <b>to </b>answer, but his reply was swallowed by the sudden <b>ng </b>of the Academy’s dinner bell. The metallic echo rang <b>through </b>the halls, <b>drowning </b>out his <b>words</b>.
Was he toying with me?
I frowned, irritation bubbling in my chest, and turned to leave. I <b>had </b><b>only </b><b>taken </b>a few <b>steps </b>into the corridor when Konan suddenly appeared before me.
I stopped short, startled. He stepped <b>closer</b>, too close.
-What are you
Before I could finish lus fingers brushed my check
“Are you feeling sick?” he asked, <b>his </b>voice low <b>and </b>strangely tender
My heart stuttered at his touch “What
“Your face is flushed and your forehead’s a little <b>damp</b>.“His <b>fingers </b>trailed gently down to my chin, featherlight. A jolt of heat shot through my core, spreading like wildfire beneath <b>my </b>skin. My breath caught
Something was wrong, terribly wrong
I’d felt exhausted all day. My muscles ached. I’d med it on the hunt, but now I <b>wasn’t </b>so sure. My skin burned, <b>and </b>my face

felt <b>far </b>too hot
No. No, no, no.
I gasped inwardly and jerked <b>away </b>from his touch.
He instantly caught the panic in my eyes. “What’s wrong?” he asked, gaze sharp now, focused.
I stumbled back, heart pounding.
I couldn’t stay, couldn’t let him get any closer.
Without a <b>word</b>, I bolted, pushing past him in a desperate rush. I could feel his eyes on me the entire way down the hallway. but I didn’t stop. My legs trembled, and my chest was a storm of panic and dread.
