When The Moon Hides Her Crown novel Chapter 188

Chapter 188 The Stalker

SERAPHINA

Cassius overheard everything. He discovered I was not only a woman but that I was Seraphina Nightbane.

My heart dropped into my stomach and for a second it felt like my soul left my body. This could not be happening. My secret was exposed. To the worst possible person who had a sinful grin over his lips when he said my name.

The silver bell shook the Academy floor while Casisus‘ grin grew bigger and bigger as he stated, “You had Reed expelled, dared to beat and humiliated me. It is fucking nerve wracking to find that it was all done by someone who does not even belong here. A woman of all things,” he looked at me up and down with wickedness, “Now this is the news everyone should know, right?” saying that he started backing away.

“No…” I whispered under my breath, my limbs growing colder.

“Starting with Alpha Gideon…” he smiled evilly.

“Don’t you dare!” I growled, my eyes glaring deep into his. “I will kill you if you…”

Before I could finish, he smirked and ran away. “Stop me if you can, bitch!”

Phina roared in my mind in fury as I ran after him three seconds later, dropping the receiver.

“Sera, what’s happening?!” Aunt Marrisa’s panicked voice kept coming from the telephone as she stated, “Afraid that your father will discover your whereabouts I lied to your dad and uncle that Seth is at Lupine Academy…”

Her voice slowly reached my ears because even if she had lied, it would be no use if Cassius exposed me.

The world narrowed to the sound of his footsteps pounding ahead of me, echoing down. the stone corridor like a countdown to my destruction. My chest burned with fury, my lungs. refusing to catch up with the storm raging inside me.

How could Cassius be there? No one was allowed to step in those corridors unless permitted, so how could Cassius appear there suddenly and listen to my conversation unless…

My mind froze for a moment as I realized something.

Unless…he was following me.

The realization struck me like lightning. Cassius was that stalker! He had been following me!!

The walls closed tighter with each stride. Every breath I took was sharpened with panic, every heartbeat a drumbeat of dread. Expelled. Exposed. Stripped of everything I had fought for. If he told Alpha Gideon, if he told the Academy then my life here was over.

Before my father became sure of my hide at the Lupine Academy everything I would have worked for, all of my dreams shattered. All the hopes, and my relationship with Ronan. Everything would be over.

Phina screamed inside me like crazy at the mere thought and glared at Cassius who was heading towards the instructors corridor. Moreover the shouts that called for catching an intruder and Alphas running in the other corridors echoed in my ears. Everyone was out of their rooms at this time of night. That meant I was going to be exposed in front of every single person in the Academy.

Of course, since their attention was on the intruder, I had an opportunity to handle Cassius.

I had to stop him before he could encounter any Alpha Instructor. I had to shut his mouth before he could even spill a word. Or even better… Phina appeared in my eyes as I set my eyes on his neck…

I better silence him forever.

I, Seraphina Nightbane, had never killed someone for personal gain but this time it was not only about my future but my love. My mate.

My claws came out as I increased my speed toward Cassius‘ wicked mocking laughter echoing in my ears, exploding the lava in my brain when suddenly I saw Alpha Gidon’s office down the next corridor.

My heart drummed in my chest. If Cassius reached that corridor, if he even stepped in, everything was going to be over…

My thought was cut short as the sound of Alpha Gideon’s office door opening stabbed my heart.

“No…” my heart dropped into my stomach when I realized Alpha Gideon was coming out.

“Hehe…goodbye little bitch,” Cassius grinned over his shoulder at me, as I witnessed my own destruction just a couple of seconds away.

Everything was over. He was too far for my reach. He was going to tell Alpha Gideon. I was ruined…

My thoughts were cut short at the sight of a figure appearing at the end of the corridor that Cassius was running towards.

I felt as the world slowed around me. Who was it? He was cladded in black and had hidden his scent and aura. The man’s face was covered with a black cloth as he locked his violet

eyes with my horrified amber ones as if he could sense my terror. It was as if he not only shared my desperation to catch Cassius, but also felt my greatest fear.

In those moments his wolf appeared in his eyes connecting with Phina.

“Ronan…” I whispered under my breath recognizing him, the next thing he did was half shift his already blood soaked claws and tore out Cassius‘ throat even before I blink.

My eyes widened and my heart slowed like my breathing while I was completely unaware that Ryker watched the scene through the camera installed in the corridor with dark eyes. The footage was being deleted from the records every five seconds. No actually it was being hacked by someone from Ronan’s side so no trace was left of what was happening while Ryker mind–linked Percy, “Do whatever you need to but recover the footage of the corridors of the entire Academy for the night when Ronan went into the rut.”

His eyes focused on me in the footage.

In the corridor, my running legs slowly watched Ronan tear Cassius‘ throat out.

I gasped and my feet stopped dead on the spot because he ripped Cassius‘ entire body into countless pieces as if it were food for the pigs before Cassius‘ head dropped on the floor. Just like the rumors said he did to his mother.

The world disappeared around me as I froze in place, my wide eyes locked onto my mate’s, a man that I thought I knew.

The sound of wolves running echoed around us as he walked closer to me and pulled me close to his chest as he whispered, “Breath…”

Wait! I Have Something to Say!
