Chapter 87 Deja Vu
SERAPHINA
Alpha Gideon was silent over my request for a long time as if thinking something over before he said, “You should be aware that changing rooms is not possible, Alpha Seth. It is only possible if you become a member of the hierarchy one day.
I pursed my lips harder. In the corner of my heart, I had a feeling he was going to refuse. The rules were enforced equally for everyone, only winning trials was the way to achieve such things in Lupine Academy. “I understand,” I murmured, turning to leave.
Just as I took two steps away, he stated, “I don’t actually know your real reason for such a request, Alpha Seth but stop running.
I turned to o him in surprise. How did he know I wanted to run from that room?
I secretly clenched my pa
pants at my side and asked, “Is it not wise to run instead of being hurt?”
Alpha Gideon’s gaze pinned me in place.
“Wolves do not avoid pain,” he said, his voice like steel wrapped in shadow. “They endure it. Learn from it.Then when the time comes..they rise above it.”
if the
His eyes narrowed slightly, as
they could see right through my skin down to the truth I was hiding-
“Running may keep you safe, Alpha Seth. But have you thought about how long you will run? At some point, you will have to face it and then accept it.”
The words settled in my chest like a slow burn.
I couldn’t speak. Not because I disagreed-
But because part of me…knew he was right.
Alpha Ryker Wraithe
His name had echoed through the Academy halls and lingered on everyone’s lips since the moment he arrived. Not just because of his unnerving handsomeness or his wildcard entry that shook the competition. No, it was more than that. It was the way he moved like a storm, sat like a predator, and stared at people as if they were nothing more than ants beneath his boots. Unworthy. Insignificant. Invisible.
That was Alpha Ryker Wraithe.
A man whose silent, unwavering gaze had rattled even me.
The Alphas here were already struggling to accept his sudden inclusion, especially after so many had fallen during the previous brutal trials. He hadn’t just joined the Supreme Alpha race..he dominated it. Rising to the top of the hierarchy in a blink, without shedding a single drop of sweat in the Academy like the rest of us. While others bled, clawed, and fought to earn their ranks, Ryker carved his place effortlessly, through sheer destruction
Yet, no one dared to question him
Herause Ryker Wraithe wasn’t just a wildcard
He was the hunter. The our who clinunated live powerful Alphas during the overnight survival trial. Five different forests. Five separate kills. He didn’t want for the morning bell, he went from one Alpha to the next, forest after forest, like death itself was bored and hooking for sport
For the past few days he had been the center of attention, the storm around which everyone orbited. Initially, I welcomed it With Hyker around, attracting all the attention no case noticed me Reed and Cassius had gone quiet since our last encounter, clearly distracted Or maybe they were tumulated by Ryker’s overwhelmung presence.

I was wrong
I currently found myself stuck between Roman and Ryker in the library, two dominant forces seated on either side of me, exuding enough tension to make the air itself feel suffocating. Their auras were so heavy that every Alpha present pretended not to notice the silent war crackling between them.
I tightened my grip on the book in my hands, internally cursing.
How the hell did I end up between these two?
They didn’t even try to hide their mutual hatred, not since the moment their eyes clashed during Ryker’s introduction. That moment alone had been enough to confirm it: these two despised each other to the bone.
As far as I could recall, when we were summoned to the library, I had quietly taken a seat at the back, wondering why there was a pen and a blank sheet of paper placed in front of me. I hadn’t paid much attention to the desk beside mine, until the front doors opened and Ryker entered…
Then, the back doors opened.
Ronan walked in.
The both of them, without hesitation, took the empty seats on either side of me.
Only then did I notice the extra pens and papers that had been laid out. Like this seating arrangement had been planned.
Planned for chaos.
On my left was Ryker, who hadn’t stopped staring at me since the day he arrived.
On my right was Ronan, whose aura had turned razor–sharp ever since he noticed Ryker’s gaze never wavered from me.
And i
I was caught in the middle.
Between two Alphas who looked like they were ready to tear each other apart.
In the past few days of brutal training on the Academy grounds, both Ryker and Ronan had proven themselves to be equally formidable. Whether it was physical challenges or combat drills, they matched each other blow for blow, never letting the other gam an inch.
One particularly disturbing test, a supposedly harmless underground survival challenge meant more for amusement than evaluation, involved dropping the participants into a manhole–like pit to see who could endure the longest. Most of us apped out within a few hours, myself included, unable to bear the claustrophobic feeling and lack of oxygen. It wasn’t even. an official trial. Yet Ryker and Ronan refused to yield.
They remained down there for over eighteen hours, leaving the entire Academy in stunned silence. Fear began to ripple through the ranks when it became clear neither of them would come out voluntarily. In the end, the Alpha instructors had to intervene, declaring the challenge over and calling it a tie, again.
It was a verdict both Ronan and Ryker seemed unwilling to accept.
Wispers circulated like wildfire some believed the tension stemmed from the overnight survival trial, how Ryker had
iminated multiple Alphas but failed to take down Ronan. Others speculated it was due to Ryker having taken Ronan’s place in the luerarchy, a rank no one else had dared dream of surpassing Either way, one thing was certain
These two Alphas loathed each other with a depth that went far beyond rivalry
However, deep in my heart. I had a sinking feeling that the real reason behind their hatred was me.
Since that day when Ronan had kissed me. I had been avoiding him nevermind making eye contact Even though the entire time I felt his disapproving gaze burning me. Not that Ryker had been any different. I had just been living ou pins and

across mine, just as I thought about moving into one of them, two figures appeared and sat in them one by one
Finn and Asher.
I gasped as my eyes met with theirs. So they were their seats?
Now I was surrounded by all of them.
What was going on here: Why was this giving me deja vu?
