Chapter 94: A Brother's Support and a Lover's Conflicted Heart

I stared at the ceiling of my bedroom, Gareth's words from last night echoing in my mind.

"Lucian and their Alpha have beef going back years."

The rivalry between Lucian and the Iron Fjord Alpha seemed intense, almost personal. What could have happened between them? And why did Kieran think I needed to know about my heritage?

My alarm blared, jolting me from my thoughts. I reached for my phone only to remember I'd left it at Elias's party. Great start to the day.

"Crap!" I bolted upright when I saw the time on my bedside clock. I was already late for my morning class.

I rushed through my morning routine, throwing on jeans and a simple sweater, not even bothering with makeup. By the time I reached campus, I'd missed half my classes.

During my lunch break, I found a quiet corner in the cafeteria and called Mom. Her voice came through, cheerful and bright.
