Chapter 113 The Testosterone Between These
Lana
Finished
The testosterone between these two major soon to be alphas is absolutely overwhelming. And intoxicating.
Alruna is happier than ever, sitting with the scent of her fated mate on her right, and the scent of the man that Lana gave her virginity to on the left.
By the end of class, Lana is ready to beeline out of the room. But before she can even reach to grab her backpack, Caleb has turned to look at her. He smiles charmingly at her and says, “Lana p>
She raises a brow, instantly feeling guarded as she replies hesitantly, “Yeah p>
“Would you want to go grab coffee before heading to your next class p>
Lana shakes her head no as she states, “Pass p>
He huffs, clearly agitated, and she raises her eyes to look at him. She states, “Just because you made some grand apology Caleb doesn’t mean that everything is suddenly water under the bridge. I don’t want to hang out with you p>
“Fine,” he snaps back at her before leaving. As he shoves his way out the door, Lana can’t help but watch him and wonder if Camille is right. Could Caleb somehow have figured out her secret? Is he just trying to get close to her so it can elevate his status?
She looks over at Kade who is still gathering his stuff and asks, “Would you want to walk back towards the apartments p>
He smiles softly and nods. She notices that he doesn’t reach for her hand, but she doesn’t reach for his
either.
Friends. She wants to be just friends. Hand holding is something you do if you’re trying to pursue a relationship. As they walk he asks, “So, how have you been, Lana p>
She smiles, “Honestly, I’ve been great. I’ve really enjoyed being here. It’s been a little weird getting used to the changes and I can already tell that my healing courses are definitely more rigorous than they were at Fenrir. But I mean, it makes it all the more exciting p>
Kade smiles at her as he says, “It sounds like it suits you p>
She nods, “It really has.” Lana takes a deep breath and says, “To be honest, Kade, I’m a bit scared to get wrapped up the drama between you and Caleb again. It was kind of nice to be rid of it p>
“Are you asking me to leave?” He questions, his eyebrows furrowed deeply as he frowns.
“No, of course not,” Lana replies quickly, stumbling over her words from how fast she said them. He smiles softly at her and says, “Good, because I’m staying here, Lana. I didn’t come here for you. I didn’t even know that you were here. I came because it’s the best move for me and it’s in the best interest of my pack p>
“I wasn’t asking you to leave, Kade. I’m sorry if I made it seem that way p>

He nods slowly and changes the topic, “Have you found a favorite spot on campus? Or do you mainly just hang out at your apartment p>
“Mostly at my apartment After everything at Fenrir, I just want to lay low, y’know p>
He nods his head in understanding and she asks, “How have you been, Kade? Do you think the pack can handle things without you in close proximity p>
He chuckles, “They won’t have much of a choice. It is what it is. I’m good. I’m happy to be here. I like my apartment, I know I have a good neighbor,” he nudges her playfully when he says this and continues, “I’m happy for the most part p>
“Good, that’s great. Um, how is Maeve? I haven’t spoken to her p>
“I’m aware,” he responds stiffly.
“And?” Lana asks as she cringes. Kade chuckles, “Ultimately, Lana, she misses you. She felt like you guys had a connection. She was sad when you left and didn’t understand what happened. She wishes things: were different p>
“I know,” Lana says softly, “I wish I could’ve arranged things to be different p>
Kade looks at her curiously and asks, “Will you explain to me why you couldn’t make things different? I just… this was all your choice wasn’t it? You’re making it sound like you didn’t have a choice in the matter p>
Lana thinks on it for a moment, there’s so much she’s unable to tell Kade. But even if she could tell him, she doesn’t know if she would want to. She sighs, “I don’t know how to make it make sense for you, Kade. There were circumstances out of my control and there wasn’t much else I could have done. A part of me regrets the way that I left. The other part of me thinks that it was unfortunately necessary p>
“And I assume even if I ask, you won’t tell me these circumstances, you’ll just continue to be annoyingly cryptic p>
Lana gives a playful smile as she says, “Ding, ding, ding! Ladies and gentlemen we have a winner p>
He rolls his eyes before saying, “Tell me, don’t tell me. It’s up to you, Lana p>
The apartments get within view and as they get to their floor and are about to walk their separate ways, Kade says, “Look, Lana, I’m here whenever you’re ready no matter how long it takes. Day or night, you can talk to me if you want p>
She smiles softly, “Thanks, Kade p>
With that, she leaves him and goes into her apartment.
She takes a deep breath, she’s sure that over time things will get easier being around and talking with Kade She meant what she told him, she wants their friendship back.
She’s not sure if it will be possible to get it back the way that she wants it to be.
But right now, she can’t just sit around and dissect their whole interaction. No, she needs to get ready. She has dinner with her biological dad tonight.

It’s still crazy for her to think that she’s actually some long lost princess. She can only imagine how Kade’s
reaction would be if she told him.
She ran to her closet grabbing wool tights, an a-line black skirt, and a cute off the shoulder cream color sweater. She grabbed a pair of boots to match and then went to the bathroom to get to work on her hair and makeup.
This has by far been the weirdest part of getting used to her new life. She now has nice clothing and she is expected to wear it. If and when the news about her being a princess gets out, it’s important for her to look the part.
Back when she was just a random omega, she didn’t have to worry about makeup every time she left her apartment. She could have her hair in a messy bun and it be good enough. But the standards are higher now and it’s important that she rises to them.
There’s a knock on her door and she rushes to it, stumbling to put on her shoes as she calls out, “I’m coming p>
She makes it to the door and smiles at the man who seems to be her designated driver. He smiles at her warmly and asks, “Are you ready, Ms. Lana p>
She nods, “Yeah, of course, let’s go p>
As she walks away, she could almost swear she heard Kade’s door open up. But she doesn’t turn back to see if she is right.
