He folded Spar blood . Still , he grinned through it . " You're nothing but a weak link . " he growled . " I'm going to kill you today , you fucking freak ! " My fist disagreed . The room spun with motion . Broken breath . Scuffling boots . Grunts and snarls and the dry scent of rage . I was all ready to turn it all towards the end when suddenly something slipped from a pocket . It hit the floor with a soft thund and rolled around . Something round . Black . Something familiar , a smell . No. I froze . I knew that smell . My eyes widened as I bent down , heart lurching . I plucked in from the cracked floor , squeezed it open and the scent nearly knocked me to my knees . My heat . That scent mixed in cologne . The one Ronan wore . The one that made everything worse . That made my body scream for things I couldn't have . " This berry's smell exactly . The one that made my body betray me . The one that made me ache , burn , crave . This wasn't a coincidence . This was deliberate . I looked up . Reed . The bastard stood there , feigning confusion - but his lips twitched with something else . " You … " My voice came out hollow . Shaking . " You did this ? " He blinked , feigned innocence . Cassius chuckled behind him . " Oh , now he gets it . " Reed paled , just for a moment , then grinned . An ugly , victorious grin . " Yeah , " he said . " I mixed ut . You were supposed to go into rut . Lose control . Parade your pathetic file self around the arena- naked , desperate , fucked senseless by Alpha Ronan because he was wearing it and should have been affected too and lose hus enses enough to understand gender and just fuck you . " My chest constricted . And once my eyes met with Ronan's calm ones I realised he knew about this berry mixed in his cologne . You were supposed to be humiliated . Ruined . But you got lucky . It didn't work . Too bad . " P. My whole body froze at the revelation and all I could see was them laughing . They thought I would go into rut but I actually went into heat . Their plan had actually succeeded and my whole future would have been ruined and sealed with the fate that my father had prescribed for me . I was about to lose myself , my existence and my everything . All because of … them . " You wanted to see my balls ? " I murmured , voice disturbingly calm . I crouched and picked up a jagged shard of broken glass from the shattered window . Panic sparked in their eyes . " Hey hey ! Fucker ! What the hell are you doing ?! " , I straightened . " Now I want to have your balls … " I raised my eyes and smiled at them , " … in my hand , " DANTE With one leg crossed over the other , I sipped my coffee , eyes fixed on the chaos unfolding across the Academy grounds . The bitter warmth coated my tongue as the taste lingered - rich , slow , and deliberate . A shadow loomed beside me . One of my wolves leaned in , his voice low against the shell of my ear . " The in - fighting has begun ." A slow smile curved my lips behind the rim of the cup . " What a bad thing to do ." I put it down , got up and walked away with a smile . Send Gifts
