Chapter 86 Between The Crown And His Lips
SERAPHINA
“I love you,” he confessed, crushing his lips to mine but my world titled
His lips pressed softly against mine, not demanding, not rough. Just…warm. Gentle. As if he was afraid I might shatter in his arms. My eyes widened but I could not move. All I could feel was his lips on mine, the heat of him, the way his fingers cradled the back of my neck, the tenderness of that single moment, it stole the breath from my lungs and left my heart pounding so loud I could barely hear anything else.
There was no force. No roughness. Just heat and an aching tenderness that wrapped around my bones like silk set on fire.
My heart slammed against my ribs, each beat louder than the last.
Every part of me stilled except my wolf, which moved without thought closer to his wolf, caught in his gentle command. His kiss wasn’t wild. It wasn’t demanding..
It was hot.
It was beautiful
It was also my first kiss.
The moment that truth sank in my breath hitched sharply.
I stumbled back, the cool air hitting my kissed lips like a slap. His violet eyes were steady, unreadable, but mine–mine were wide, stunned, terrified.
I didn’t speak, I could not speak.
I could not blink. I turned on instinct,
My feet pounded against the forest floor as I ran, branches clawing at my arms, my breathing shallow and burning. My face was flushed red and breathing wild just like my heart beat as I didn’t stop until the outline of the Academy appeared through
Without stopping. I ran inside the Academy and then all the way to my dormitory room. Once I was inside, I slammed the door shat belund me and sat on the floor with my hand over my lips.

The weight of his lips still lingered on mine like a phantom touch. No matter how many times I blinked, how many breaths I took, it wouldn’t leave me. That kiss was unexpected, overwhelming, perfect in a way I wasn’t ready for, kept looping in my mind like a haunting melody I couldn’t stop humming.
And Ryker.—
His hands on my waist. His question and the craziness flashing in his eyes when they locked with mine as if I was his. possession, it all unsettled me.

turned on my side, fists clenching beneath the thin blanket.
So much had happened in a single day, too much. My disguise felt thinner than ever, cracking beneath the weight of emotions I wasn’t allowed to feel
If this continued then 1 was doomed.
Ronan. Ryker.
I had to do something before it was too late.
By the time the first hints of dawn crept in, I hadn’t slept a single minute. I was so distracted that I had planned to take a shower before everyone woke up but now it was too late. I just had to wipe myself off for the day. Thankfully, I was alone in
the room.
Just as that thought crossed my mind, my eyes drifted to a bed other than mine.
Empty. Cold. Untouched.
Ronan’s
1 sat up slowly, the silence of the room pressing against my skin. He had been staying in the healers wing due to his back injury but…
My hand subconsciously clenched on the blanket and my heartbeat quickened. “I have to do something.” I said to myself.
Later that morning, when the others gathered on the training grounds, my eyes were on the Alpha instructors passing by. Shortly the person I had been waiting for came into view.
1 quietly slipped from the group, “Alpha Gideon,” I called, jogging closer to him.
“Alpha Seth,” he stopped.
I stepped closer and bowed my head slightly. “Alpha Gideon, I have a request”
His sharp eyes scanned me, unblinking. “Speak.”
I lifted my chin and after a pause I stated, “I would like to be transferred to another roun
He didn’t respond immediately. The silence stretched.
Then, a slow lift of his brow. “Any reason?”
Ronan’s kiss and love confession returned to my mind as I murmured. “I am afraid to lose myself as the race proceeds. I Just..” my voice stuck in my throat for a moment as I whispered…want to protect my heart. I wanted to say I wanted to protect my dicunt but I said. “Myself”
