Allegra’s PovAs I rush home, my mind races with the news I have to share with Xander. Silver's excitement, her fears, and the joy of the day all swirl together, fueling my eagerness to tell him everything. Bursting through the door, I find Xander engaged in conversation with Richard. I try to compose myself, but my excitement must be written all over my face because Xander notices immediately.“Hey, Allegra, you seem unusually eager. Everything okay?” he asks, his eyes studying me intently.I attempt to brush off his concern with a quick nod and a forced smile, but I know he sees through my facade. Making a quick excuse, I hurriedly retreated to our room, the anticipation of sharing the news with Xander making my heart race even faster.Alone in our room, I stand in front of the mirror, unable to contain the fluttering excitement within me. The image of Silver's joy and her new dances in my mind, and for a moment, I find myself imagining what it would be like to be in her shoes, to f
Allegra’s PovI could see the pride in his eyes as I recounted the events of the day, and it only fueled my excitement further. “After that, we decided to make the most of the day,” I said, a grin spreading across my face. “We baked, we talked about our fun times, we watched the latest K drama”He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me close, and pressed a tender kiss to my forehead. “You have such a big heart, Allegra,” he murmured, his voice filled with adoration. “I'm so lucky to have you in my life.”I nestled into his embrace, feeling content and loved. “And I'm lucky to have you,” I whispered, my heart swelling with affection. “Now, how about we make our own memories tonight?” I teased, a mischievous twinkle in my eye.He chuckled, his fingers tracing patterns on my skin. “I like the sound of that,” he replied, his voice husky with desire. “But first, let me show you just how much I appreciate everything you do.”And with that, our evening unfolded, filled with laughter, love, a
Allegra’s PovXander's words left me feeling both proud and apprehensive. I couldn't deny the strength of my powers, but the responsibility weighed heavily on my shoulders. Everyone seemed to understand why the strangers had chosen me, but doubts lingered in my mind.“Let's go as soon as possible,” I declared, eager to lend my assistance. “The sooner we get there, the sooner I can help the alpha and come back home.”Xander's reaction was unexpected, his hesitation palpable as he exchanged glances with Richard. Something didn't add up, but I decided not to press the issue, sensing Xander's reluctance to share more. Instead, I offered to wait until he felt more comfortable before leaving.“Well, I'm not that eager,” I assured him, forcing a smile. “We can leave whenever you think it's okay.”He chuckles sadly and mutters under his breath if it were up to me, you wouldn't leave at all, but it's not.He thinks I don't hear him, but I do hear him. Xander's response only deepened my confusi
Allegra’s PovAs Xander held me in his arms, his words washed over me like a soothing balm, reassuring and yet tinged with an undercurrent of sadness. “Allegra, you mean everything to me,” he murmured, his voice husky with emotion. “I would never do anything that I know isn't for your benefit. Every decision I've ever made, every action I've taken, has been to keep you safe.”His declaration filled me with a sense of warmth and security, but beneath the surface, a nagging doubt lingered, fueled by the melancholy in his voice. “Xander, are you sure you're okay?” I asked softly, searching his eyes for any sign of turmoil. “You seem… troubled.”He hesitated for a moment, his gaze flickering away before returning to meet mine. “I'm fine, Allegra,” he replied, his voice tinged with forced reassurance. “As long as I have you by my side, I'll always be fine.”But his words rang hollow, and I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something he wasn't telling me. “Xander, please,” I pressed
Xander’s PovAs the realization dawned on me that the strangers were from Allegra's former pack, my heart plummeted, a sense of dread washing over me like a tidal wave. Memories of our life together flashed before my eyes, each moment etched in vivid detail, reminding me of the bond we shared and the trials we had overcome.I found myself seated in the living room, engaged in hushed conversation with the strangers, my mind racing with a thousand questions and fears. I couldn't bear the thought of Allegra leaving our pack, our home, our life together, to return to a past that held nothing but pain and uncertainty.“Why now?” I demanded, my voice low and tinged with anger. “Why does the Greenwood Pack need her now? Allegra can't help you, and I won't let her leave my pack and my life.”One of the strangers bristled at my words, their frustration palpable. “We're not asking you to let her stay at Greenwood Pack permanently,” they explained, their tone pleading. “We just require her to he
Xander’s PovAs I descended the stairs, my mind was preoccupied with how Allegra is feeling concerning my strange behavior, but I know I can't tell her the reason I'm behaving like this. Richard, and Silver were already gathered, and I acknowledged them with a nod, though my focus remained distant, especially on Allegra. There was a weight on my shoulders as I began the meeting.“I've brought you three here because you're the pillars of this pack,” I started, my voice reflecting the gravity of the situation. “The visitors we received are from Greenwood Park.”The mention of Greenwood Park seemed to stir curiosity, especially from Richard. Richard gives me a surprised look asking if they were perfect to the greenwood pack. With a heavy heart I sigh, “Yes, they're from Greenwood Park,” I confirmed, my tone somber. “Their pack is in turmoil. Their alpha is teetering on the edge of losing control after the death of his mate.”I saw empathy flash in Allegra's eyes as she absorbed the news
Xander’s PovImmediately the sharp reply leaves my mouth, I regret it instantly.The hurt in her eyes pierced through me, a painful reminder of the distance that had grown between us. I wanted to reach out, to pull her close and tell her everything, but fear held me back. So, I sat in silence, drowning in the weight of my secrets, longing for the courage to let her in.Allegra leaves the room, probably to prepare dinner. I lay in the bed wishing I could take back the way I spoke to her and wishing I could tell her why I'm behaving like this, but the fear of not knowing how she'll respond and if she'll be too angry and want to leave me, keeps me tongue-tied.When I finally emerged from the living room, the tension between us weighed heavily on my shoulders. We ate in silence, each bite feeling like a heavy burden, knowing that my earlier actions had only served to push Allegra further away. As the night dragged on, guilt gnawed at me, keeping sleep at bay and leaving me restless and un
Allegra’s PovOne afternoon, as I provided guidance to the pack member starting her business venture, my thoughts kept drifting back to the strangers who sought our help. Can I truly make a difference in saving their alpha? Doubt gnaws at me, fueled by the fear of failure, making me hesitate to share with Xander the opportunity to aid the Greenwood Pack. But I'm brought back to the present when the woman greets me.Apologizing for my momentary distraction, I focus entirely on her. After our conversation, I couldn't resist asking her what gave her the courage to embark on such a risky endeavor. Her response strikes a chord within me. She confesses to feeling afraid initially, allowing fear to hold her back. Yet, she realized that pursuing her dream was worth the risk, and she took the leap because she knew she'd never forgive herself if she didn't try.Her words resonate deeply within me, stirring something dormant. If she could find the courage to chase her dreams despite her fears, t
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
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 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 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
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
