CHAPTER 24
~Valerie's POV~
The dormitory halls were dimly lit, leaving only the sound of distant conversations and muffled footsteps. I had barely turned the corner when I halted abruptly, my instincts flaring.
I hoped they weren't waiting for me, to be honest.
The four Alpha heirs stood in the middle of the corridor, their towering forms an impenetrable wall of dominance and untamed power.
The air suddenly felt heavier, like it was charged with something dangerous I could only attribute to all four of them.
Immediately, I pivoted, hoping they hadn't seen me, and tried to escape when Dristan's deep voice roared out. "Stop right there, Nightshade."
My brows creased, my lips pressing into a pout as I turned around and folded my arms. My brows arched. "Yes, what are you doing here?"
Axel smirked, leaning against the wall. "You've been quite… fiery today."
