Chapter 97 Storm
RONAN
Alpha Jude seemed to be observing more than necessary. So I said nothing. Just stared and kept my emotions in check. The fight shifted.
Seraphina stopped defending and attacked.
No longer the cautious observer, she lunged with precision. Her strike missed Ryker’s throat by inches, but forced him to
stumble back
She was fighting him. For real.
Ryker wasn’t smiling anymore.
not just
“Didn’t expect that from Seth Darven,” Jude muttered, his eyes fixed on Seraphina and Ryker’s fight. “I’ll be honest, I didn’t think Seth would last two minutes against Alpha Ryker. But… his voice held an odd note of respect. That boy holding ground. He’s pushing him”
My chest swelled, not with pride. With awe and frustration.
She didn’t need a savior.
That’s what drew me to her in the first place: her strength, her fire. She wasn’t waiting to be rescued. She was her own damn hero.
Still, I couldn’t just stand here. Not when it was Ryker.
His attacks were z
My blood boiled.
getting more physical Less tactical. His hands brushed her waist, her back, sliding where fists should land.
I barely held my
ny wolf back from breaking out. His touches were too much to blame on his blindfold. Sometimes on her waist, then on her hips, grabbing her from behind, and so on.
As if on cue, a soft melodious voice floated behind me.
“Such a beauty from the outside,” Grace said. “But sharp as a double–edged sword.”
I turned.
She stood casually behind me, arms folded, watching the fight with a glimmer in her eyes. She tilted her head. “They look like a storm together, don’t they? Wild and unpredictable.” she stepped forward and met Alpha Jude’s gaze, “Like they made for each other, don’t they?”
The last tread of my patience snapped at her words.
With clenched fists I stepped closer to her, my anger masked by the facade of calmness, “Is this the fairy tail reason of yours you put them together as an opponent?”
Grace blinked at my casual tone that did not match the darkness in my eyes but didn’t flinch. “Oh, you think I am playing match making here?” she laughed softly, glancing at Alpha Jude once and then me. “Alpha Ryker is just enjoying his reward, Alpha Ronan”
“What?” Locked my brows
She lifted a manicured brow “Just like you asked me for information in exchange for returning my anklet, Ryker asked for something after returning my pearl ring”

It wasn’t a coincidence.
He’d planned this.
He wanted her.
Why?
To test her?
To hurt her?
To touch her?
I clenched my fists so tightly I felt blood well beneath my nails.
The sound of grunts and thuds filled the clearing. The fight intensified. Alphas were starting to collapse, eliminated one by one. The five–second rule held, if you were down for more than five seconds, you were out.
But not Seraphina.
Not Ryker.
They still stood. Moved. Fought.
She didn’t fall back. Didn’t retreat. She pushed him, again and again.
I could barely watch it with my barely intact patience.
Unknown to me, some distance away Asher and Finn watched me in silence. Their eyes were on me most of the time. Watching my growing anger. Watching my wolf claw beneath my skin.
I couldn’t take my eyes off her.
Until suddenly something loud echoed in the clearing.
Everyone, including me, stilled turning around.
“What was that?” Grace gasped looking up at the mountain behind us.
Alpha Jude stepped forward shielding her with his body and stared at the mountain with seriousness, “It seems like a rock from the mountain..” Before he could finish the wind shifted.
A sharp, slicing gust whipped across the clearing, scattering dust and leaves. Tents trembled. Bonfires flickered out. Several Alphas stumbled blindly, unsteady from the sudden force.
The wind roared like a warning.
Crack!
A nearby tree limb split.
“It’s a storm!” Finn shouted, alerting everyone.
“Everyone stop!” Alpha Jude’s voice boomed as he turned to the Alphas. “Halt the match, return to the Academy now!”
Chas exploded.
Alphas tore off blindfolds, darting in all directions. The clearing became a whirlwind of bodies, dust, wind, and panicked
My eyes snapped toward the direction where Seraphina was earlier. I ripped through the whirlwind of the Alphas running out of there as I strode towards the storm but in the middle of the crowd froze.

“Where is she?” my wolf whispered in my mind as the spot where she was fighting was empty.
My mind went blank.
Seraphina was gone.
Ryker too.
