Allegra’s PovAs we step into the heart of the Greenwood Pack, the atmosphere is heavy with despair and suffering. It's as if the darkness that has consumed their alpha has seeped into every corner of the community, leaving behind a sense of hopelessness that hangs in the air like a shroud. My heart aches at the sight of the pack members, their spirits broken, and their faces etched with pain.As we approach the alpha's house, the dilapidated state of the building is a stark reminder of the chaos that has engulfed the pack. It's difficult to believe that anyone could live in such squalor, and I can't help but wonder what horrors await us inside.The strangers accompanying us signalled their guards to stay close, a silent indication of the danger that lies ahead. “This is where we leave you,” one of them says solemnly, their voice heavy with warning. “But you must be cautious. The alpha is powerful and unpredictable. He has injured many who have tried to confront him.”Xander scoffs at
Xander’s PovI'm getting sick and tired of fighting, and the alpha is proving to be stronger than I thought.I feel frustration and anger bubble within me. I feel a surge of power building deep within my core. It's like the tempest brewing beneath the surface, threatening to erupt at any moment. I know that if I lose control, it could spell disaster for us all.Desperate to regain my composure, I try to focus, but the chaos of battle surrounds me, making it difficult to concentrate. Allegra's voice breaks through the din, her words barely audible over the clamor.“Xander, you need to calm down!” she shouts, her concern evident in her voice. “We need him alive!”Her words jolt me back to reality, and I realize that I can't let my emotions get the better of me. With a deep breath, I summon all of my strength and willpower, channeling it into a single, focused intention.And then, in a sudden burst of raw energy, I unleash my power, not to harm the Alpha but to hold him down with an unse
Xander’s PovWhen I finally wake, the memory of my dream lingers like a bitter taste in my mouth. I sit up, my heart heavy with guilt and remorse. Allegra is nowhere to be seen, and I can't shake the feeling of dread that hangs over me like a shroud.I stumble out of bed, my limbs heavy with exhaustion, and make my way outside. The world around me is a blur of colors and shapes, but I can't seem to focus on anything but the pain in my chest.And as I stand there, alone with my thoughts, I can't help but wonder if I'll ever be able to make things right with Allegra. The weight of my mistakes hangs heavy on my shoulders, threatening to crush me beneath its burden.But deep down, I know that I can't give up hope. I have to find a way to make amends and earn back her trust and forgiveness, no matter how long it takes. And as I prepare myself for the difficult road ahead, I know that I'll do whatever it takes to make things right, for both of our sakes.I push myself out of bed, ignoring t
Xander’s PovAs we made our way to the new house where Alpha Arnold had been relocated, my mind buzzed with a mix of anticipation and apprehension. Each step brought us closer to the inevitable confrontation with the alpha, and my heart thrummed with nervous energy. When we finally reached his office, flanked by guards, and the door swung open, I braced myself for the worst.But to my surprise, Alpha Arnold's demeanor was anything but hostile. He greeted us with a warm smile, and my tension eased slightly. His first instinct was to embrace Allegra, his daughter, and my mate with genuine affection. I stood back a bit awkwardly, opting for a handshake instead of a hug, still wary of his reaction when he realized my role in the upheaval of his life.As Alpha Arnold expressed his gratitude for our assistance in saving him, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt. But before I could dwell on it, his gaze lingered on Allegra, a flicker of recognition flashing across his face. Instinctive
Allegra’s PovI never thought I'd see a garden as beautiful as this in my life. The person who planted it must have taken great care in handling it because it looks so wonderful.Even as I'm enjoying the garden, my mind keeps going back to Xander and the wound he suffered from fighting the green wood pack, formerly rogue Alpha. I hope he's well.Just as I was thinking about him, I heard his voice calling my name. Allegra," he calls out, his voice rough with urgency. “We need to leave.”I turn to him, surprise written across my features. “Leave? But what about the Greenwood pack? We can't just abandon them,” I protest, my brow furrowing in concern.He shakes his head, his resolve unwavering. “We've done all we can here. It's time to go,” he insists, his tone brooking no argument.But I'm not so easily swayed. I argue back, my voice rising with frustration as I plead my case for staying. We go back and forth, each of us standing firm in our convictions.I pleaded my case for staying, my
Allegra’s PovXander, refusing to believe or accept the possibility of me being Alpha Arnold's daughter, shakes her head, frustration bubbling to the surface. “Even if there is a chance, it changes everything,” they argued, desperation creeping into their tone. “We have our lives and our packs to think about. We can't just upend everything because of some wild theory.”He watches me closely, searching for any sign of uncertainty in my expression. But to his dismay, I felt oddly calm about the situation, my eyes fixed on the photograph in my hands.I look into his eyes, and I see that he couldn't fathom how I could entertain the idea of being Alpha Arnold's long-lost daughter, especially considering the fact that it would probably change a lot of our lives.“You can't actually be serious,” he interjected, frustration bubbling to the surface as he snatched the picture from me. “Tell me you're not actually considering this.”My gaze met his, my eyes betraying a hint of hesitation. “I kno
Xander’s PovAs Allegra spent the rest of the day with Alpha Arnold, I found myself wandering the vast grounds of his estate, lost in my thoughts. Alpha Arnold had instructed one of his guards to provide us with the most comfortable room in his house, and as I made my way there, I couldn't shake the feeling of unease gnawing at the pit of my stomach.Alone in the room, I couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy as I thought about Allegra spending time with Alpha Arnold. I had grown accustomed to having all of her attention, and the thought of sharing it with someone else, especially someone who could potentially be her father, left me feeling unsettled. I paced the room, wrestling with my emotions, wishing I had tried harder to convince Allegra to leave with me.Hours passed, and just as I was beginning to resign myself to the fact that I might not see Allegra for the rest of the day, she finally returned. The excitement in her face was palpable as Alpha Arnold dropped her off, and a
Allegra’s PovAs Alpha Arnold revealed the unexpected news that I was his daughter, a whirlwind of emotions swept through me. Happiness, disbelief, and a sense of belonging all mingled together, leaving me feeling like I was standing on the precipice of a new chapter in my life. But as I turned to share my joy with Xander, I was met with a wall of silence and a stormy expression on his face.“Xander, aren't you happy?” I asked, my voice filled with hope as I searched his face for any sign of joy.He hesitated for a moment, his gaze shifting away from mine. “Of course, I'm happy for you, Allegra,” he replied, his voice strained.But I could see the truth lurking behind his words, the tension radiating from him like a palpable force. “Then what's wrong?” I pressed, unable to ignore the unease settling in the pit of my stomach.Alpha Arnold, ever-perceptive, seemed to sense the tension between us. “I'll give you two some space,” he said, rising from his seat. “But Xander, I would love to
Xander’s PovAs days turned into weeks, the rift that had once threatened to tear us apart seemed to heal, replaced by a newfound sense of closeness and unity. The forgiveness Allegra had extended to me washed away the lingering doubts and fears, leaving in its wake a sense of peace and contentment that I had long yearned for.Each day brought with it a renewed sense of purpose as we embraced the opportunity to reconnect with her father, Alpha Arnold, in ways we had never thought possible. As we delved into shared memories and created new ones together, the bonds of family grew stronger, weaving us together in an unbreakable bond of love and acceptance.One afternoon, as we sat together in the garden, basking in the warmth of the sun, Alpha Arnold turned to me with a smile, his eyes filled with warmth and affection. “Xander,” he began, his voice tinged with emotion. “I never thought I'd have the chance to get to know you like this.”I smiled back, feeling a surge of gratitude for the
Allegra’s PovI asked that question, and Xander sighed, running a hand through his hair as he struggled to find the right words. “I never meant to hurt you,” he began, his voice tinged with remorse. “But I was desperate, Allegra. Desperate to protect you, to keep you safe from those who would seek to harm you.”I furrowed my brow, confusion flickering in the depths of my eyes. “Protect me?” I echoed the words, heavy with disbelief. “From what?”Xander hesitated, his gaze shifting away from mine as he wrestled with his own inner demons. “From my past,” he finally admitted, his voice barely above a whisper. “From the enemies I've made, the battles I've fought, and the secrets I've kept.”My heart clenched at his words, a sense of foreboding settling over me like a dark cloud. “What secrets?” I demanded, my voice trembling with emotion. “What aren't you telling me, Xander?”Xander took a deep breath, his eyes filled with regret, as he met my gaze. “I'm not who you think I am, Allegra,” h
Allegra’s PovAs I stood in the clearing, buoyed by the wisdom and compassion of the Moon Goddess, a newfound sense of clarity washed over me like a cleansing tide. With each passing moment, the raw ache of betrayal began to ebb, replaced by a steely resolve and a determination to confront the challenges that lay ahead.Gathering my strength, I wiped away the last of my tears and squared my shoulders, ready to face Xander and my father once more. As I made my way back to the house, my heart pounded in my chest, a mixture of apprehension and determination coursing through my veins.As soon as I stepped through the door, Xander's eyes met mine, his expression a mix of relief and apprehension. Without hesitation, he rushed towards me, arms outstretched, ready to envelop me in a comforting embrace. But I held up a hand, stopping him in his tracks.“Not yet,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. “I'm not ready.”Xander's brow furrowed confused, and his eyes filled with concern. “Al
Allegra’s PovAs the truth crashed down on me like a tidal wave, I couldn't stop the overwhelming surge of emotions that threatened to consume me. Betrayal, confusion, heartbreak—they all swirled together in a maelstrom of agony, tearing me apart from the inside out. How could Xander, the one person I thought I could trust with my life, betray me in such a way? Was our entire relationship built on lies and deceit?I stumbled out of the house, my chest constricted with pain, and my vision blurred with tears. I didn't care where I was going; I just needed to get away to escape the suffocating weight of betrayal that hung heavy in the air. With each step, the forest seemed to close in around me, the trees towering above me like accusing sentinels.As I ran, my power surged within me, responding to the turmoil raging inside me. Anger, raw and potent, bubbled up from the depths of my soul, fueling my every step and propelling me deeper into the heart of the forest. With each stride, my spe
Xander’s PovAs Allegra stormed out of the room, frustration, and guilt gnawed at me, leaving me feeling utterly helpless. I knew I had upset her, but I couldn't suppress the gnawing fear that had been eating away at me since Alpha Arnold's revelation. The thought of losing her, of being left alone once again, terrified me more than anything else.I paced the room, my mind racing with conflicting emotions. On one hand, I wanted nothing more than to make Allegra happy and to support her in her quest to reconnect with her father. But on the other hand, the selfish part of me couldn't bear the thought of losing her or watching her slip away from me.As I wrestled with my thoughts, a knock on the door startled me out of my reverie. A guard stood at attention, delivering a message from Alpha Arnold requesting my presence in his office. I nodded in acknowledgment, my heart sinking at the thought of facing him again.As I made my way to Alpha Arnold's office, I couldn't shake the feeling of
