Chapter 80 I Don’t Bow–i Break
SERAPHINA
I had never endured disrespect in my entire life–not even when I was a child–but at the Academy, I tolerated everything. 1 swallowed every provocation and endured every shove just to maintain my disguise. Staying quiet, staying small and not attracting much attention…it was how I thought I could survive.
But today, something inside me snapped,
All this time. I told myself that if I just ignored the provocations, things would eventually settle down. That if I kept my head down. I wouldn’t be targeted. After hearing him say–those vile things, loud enough to stir whispers from every corner- that
was the last straw.
My wolf roared.
Before Reed could even finish his disgusting sentence, my hand shot out and caught his wrist in a blur.
Crack
The sickening snap echoed like a gunshot across the cafeteria. His arrogant laugh died in his throat, replaced by a blood- curdling scream that pierced the air like a blade.
“HE BROKE REED’S WRIST!!” someone yelled in shock.
Cassius‘ mouth fell open as he stared at his friend’s wrist bent at an unnatural angle. “REED!!”
But I wasn’t done.
Eyes wild. I yanked Reed forward by his broken wrist until he was nose to nose with me. His pain–soaked face twisted in confusion and terror. I sneered.
“You wanna fuck my ass?” I taunted, “With what, your baby dick?”
A horrified gasp rippled through the crowd.
I raised my knee and slammed it into his groin without mercy.
AHHHHH-
He screamed, dropping like a stone as he clutched himself, writhing and howling. His face turned a violent shade of red as he
curled in on himself.
“Crow a rea! carrot first, you horny little worm,” I spat, stepping back.
Cassius lunged, his face contorted with rage. “You fucking-
But before his fat could even rise, I slammed my palm upward into his face with surgical precision.
Crunch
Klood instantly gushed from his nose. He reeled backward with a howl of pain, holding his face as his eyes flooded with tears. Casps exploded around us. Alphas backed away. Their little group of bullies shrank. startled and stunnel.
“YOU BITCH” Reed growled through his pain and charged at me again, madness in his eyes.

Chapter 80 I Don’t Bow Break
The entire cafeteria fell deathly quiet, as if the air itself had frozen.
Standing behind Reed, towering like a dark storm, was Ronan.
+8 Pearls
His icy gaze locked onto Reed with a deadly stillness, his fingers tangled tightly in Reed’s hair, pulling his head back at a painful angle. The tension in the air turned suffocating. Fear crept up everyone’s spine.
Ronan leaned close, his voice a dangerous murmur that echoed like thunder in still air.
“I see you’re itching to fight, Reed,” he said coldly. “So let’s deal with that itch properly.”
He paused and lowered his face beside Reed’s trembling one, letting his wolf eyes flash.
“Meet me behind the Academy building tonight,” he whispered darkly. “I’ll make sure that pathetic little itch in your dick disappears… for life”

Reed didn’t move. He couldn’t. His rage v
Cassius whimpered behind him, still nursing his shattered nose. When Ronan’s eyes flicked toward him, he paled even further, visibly shrinking back. Ronan’s presence was overwhelming–raw, feral. The promise of violence was thick in the air. and both of them knew… if they stayed, they wouldn’t walk away in one piece.
The atmosphere was so tense it was about to snap.
“Fuck Cassius breathed, panicked. “We’re leaving.”
He reached out hesitantly, attempting to peel Reed away from Ronan’s grasp.
Ronan let go, but not gently. He shoved Reed away like he was filth.
It was not how anyone treated Alphas like Reed and Cassius. It was a clear, brutal statement: You mean nothing here.
“Get lost,” Ronan said, voice as sharp as broken glass. “If I catch either of you pulling this shit again, I’ll break every bone in your worthless bodies.”
Neither of them dared to speak. They slunk past him, heads down like whipped dogs. But a few steps later, Reed turned back and glared at me–so did Cassius. Their eyes promised one thing.
This isn’t over.
I didn’t flinch. I knew it wouldn’t be. Not with snakes like them still slithering around the Academy.
But_Cassius?
Was that a smirk?
A faint, Twisted, amused smirk curled at the edge of his blood–smeared lips before he disappeared through the crowd. What the hell did that mean?
Whispers exploded again. Students scurried back to their seats like frightened birds. But I stayed still, rooted in place, staring

Casually.
“You’re not seriously going to fight him behind the Academy tonight, are you?” I asked lightly, trying to mask the nerves in my tone.
“I don’t make empty threats.” he said simply.
My stomach sank. “Don’t hurt him. Or anyone.”
His brows lifted slightly, amused. “Excuse me?”
“Everyone saw what happened here. If you go after him now, it’ll look like I need you to protect me. Or worse, that there’s something going on between us. I don’t need more rumors. I absolutely hate that idea.”
His lips twitched, the barest hint of amusement flickering in his eyes. Like he’d never met a girl who didn’t want to be protected
I looked away quickly before he could read more than I intended.
Dragging my chair out, I sat back down in front of my completely ruined lunch. “Ugh…those assholes,” I muttered. My stomach growled. Everything was destroyed–except, thankfully, my juice.
Just as I popped it open, Ronan slid into the seat across from me.
My hand froze mid–air. “Why are you sitting here?”
“To cat, obviously,” he said.
He snapped his fingers.
A cafeteria assistant immediately approached with two plates–both stacked high with fresh, steaming food.
I blinked.
He was going to eat both? I mean, sure, Alphas are a lot, but this
Before I could question it, he pushed one of the plates toward me.

He brought one for me?
My eyes flicked between the plate and his handsome face. So he noticed I hadn’t eaten? That I was still hungry!
