Chapter 12 The Warning

• "The Alpha heir didn't request. He commanded."
• I barely had time to gather my scattered notes and textbooks before Darius's shadow fell across my desk like an eclipse blotting out the sun.

• His dominance rolled out like smoke from a wildfire, suffocating and inescapable, pressing against every wolf in the room until the weaker students visibly shrank in their seats. The scent of his barely controlled power filled the air—pine forests after lightning strikes, winter storms held back by will alone.
