THE ALPHA’S DAUGHTER 29

    Chapter 29 Unless What?


    SERAPHINA


    Ever since I’d decided to flee the wedding and <b>join </b>Lupine Academy, my biggest fear hadn’t been being exposed or caught by my father–it was my heat cycle..


    Going into heat surrounded by Alpha wolves was practically suicide. That’s why I’d been so desperate for <b>the </b>witch’s perfume. It wasn’t just meant to conceal my scent, it was designed to suppress my heat entirely while I was <b>at </b>the Academy. A powerful potion disguised as perfume, created by an old witch, who <b>had </b>sent it with a grim warning: dying heat would double the painter.


    I’d epted the risk. Whatever the <b>cost</b>, I would build my own throne–and nothing, not even pain, would stop me.


    But now.. now everything seemed to be falling apart.


    Despite the perfume, <b>the </b>symptoms had begun. My body felt hot <b>and </b>achy, my temper frayed at the edges, and even Phin- who normally healed everything–was silent, which was so unlike her.


    I was running out of time<b>. </b>If I went into heat here, it would expose me. I couldn’t hide, I couldn’t leave. It would be the end of everything.


    <b>Panic </b>swirled in my chest as I sprinted through the Academy halls, thoughts racing. I needed to reach <b>Lily</b>. She was the <b>only </b>one in direct contact with the witch <b>and </b>had trained under her for years. But no cell phones orptops were allowed at Lupine. I had <b>no </b><b>way </b>of reaching her, unless…


    I turned a corner and nearly ran into the dormitory assistant as he exited a room. He was quiet, always kept to himself. A n clicked into ce.


    Slowing my steps and steadying my breath, I approached him with calm urgency.


    “Alpha Seth Darven?” I said, stopping in front of him. He blinked.


    “You shouldn’t be here,” he said quietly. “This area is dff–limits to regr Alphas.”


    Regr Alphas?


    “I’m sorry,” I replied with <b>a </b>sheepish smile. “I didn’t know. I’ll remember next time.” I paused, then added, “Actually, I was looking for you.”


    He straightened slightly. “How <b>can </b>I help you?”


    “My mattress got dirty,” I said, feigning embarrassment. “I was hoping I could get a new one<b>?</b><b>” </b>


    He hesitated. “I’m sorry<b>, </b><b>but </b><b>that’s </b><b>not </b>possible. <b>All </b>Academy property is meant to be cared for. While recements are avable, damaged items are the student’s


    ‘s responsibility”


    I <b>gave </b>him a pitiful look. “So what should I do?”


    He cleared his throat, softening. “You <b>can </b>ask your family or your pack to send a recement. That’s allowed.”


    Exactly <b>what </b>I needed.


    “How can I contact them?”


    He gestured to the <b>room </b>he’d just exited. There’s andline in my office. You can use that.”


    I kept my expression stoic, though relief surged through <b>me</b>. “Thank you <b>so </b><b>much</b>. I’ll <b>make </b>the call <b>quickly </b>


    He nodded and stepped <b>aside</b>, saying he’d return in five minutes.


    As soon as the door shut, I dialed Lily’s number with shaking hands. <b>Thank </b>the Goddess I <b>still </b>remembered it


    It rang four times before she picked up.


    “Lily, it’s me.” I said, my real voice breaking <b>through </b>my <b>panic</b>.

    “Ser? Oh my Gods you finally called‘ Are you okay? Where are-”


    “I think I’m going into beat.” I cut in, urgency tightening every word.


    “What she nearly shrieked “Did you forget the perfume?”


    Tve been using in Lily”


    “That’s impossible. That perfume was made for you. There’s no break in its effectiveness unless.


    I froze at her pune. Teless wi


    “Unless you’re intructed


    de or got too close to one


    My heart lurched. One name crushed through my mand–Ronan


    I squeezed my eyes shut, trying no breathe. His touch still lingered on my skin like a phantom.


    – Pearl


    “The perfume relies on your wolf’s emotional stability. If you’re attracted to someone or if you lose control emotionally.”


    “I’m not,” I snapped, too quickly Tmi


    Lily was quiet for a bear “Then


    ed to anyone I won’t be


    I did. quickly. Her voice trembled on the other end.


    “Sera, this might sound crazy, but either your wolf in reatung to a male, or


    “Or what?” My voice was thin now frying


    “Or someone’s doing this to you?


    My thoughts went nk.


    Someone else’s doing


    A different name rose now- Dante.


    “If someone tampered with something–food, water, clothes, even a stent–t could trigger this.”


    The memory of Ronan’s cologne shed in my mind. It had smelled differena Lately. Berries!


    My stomach twisted


    What should I do? I asked, trying to steady my shaking hands


    “First, stay <b>away </b>from male wolves. Second, if you’ve applied the perfume your pheromoops shouldn’t leak through–unless you’re around a dominating Alpha. Third, I’ll walk you through a process to force your body to break the heat cycle”


    The method was brutal. But I didn’t care. I’d do anything


    I ended the call and left the office before the assistant returned. I didn’t go ba <ol><li>om. I couldn’t risk running into </li></ol>


    Instead, I threw myself into a brutal workout on the Academy grounds, pushing pust every one of my limits, ignoring the pain. If my body was going to burn, I’d <b>make </b>it burn my way


    All the while one name haunted my mind–Ronan


    Why had his touch affected me so deeply Was it just timing or something more


    Midnight crept past


    When I finally returned to <b>the </b>Academy, the halls were dark and empty. I grabbed a change of clothes and slipped into the sbowen Go ster was the final step–three hour, minimum.


    Chapter 29 Unless What?


    As the icy stream hit my overheated skin, I didn’t realize… someone else hadn’t gone to bed.


    +8 Pearls


    A thin curl of smoke drifted in the hallway shadows. A cigarette ember <b>red </b>orange, lighting the sharp edge of a jaw


    Ronar


    Silent. Still Watching-


    He took a slow <b>drag</b>, eyes glowing faintly in the dark. Hunger simmered behind that gaze as the corner of his lips curled into something dangerous.


    I’d just wanted to escape the heat.


    But it <b>had </b>already found me.
