Alexander’s POVI looked down at the golden envelope I was holding; it was addressed to me and had arrived by hand a little while ago.Turning the envelope over, I saw the royal seal on the reverse side and found myself reluctant to open it for some reason."I wonder what it could be," Ghost said, interested in its contents."It is probably an invitation," I answered. "What more might it be?"There aren't any upcoming festivals," Ghost said. "Open up; I'm curious to see.""To be honest, I am not sure if I want to," I said. "The envelope comes from the White Moon Pack.""What's your point?" Ghost asked, confused."It could be a letter stating that Emily had changed her mind," I said, and the thought saddened me."Are you serious?" Ghost asked, rolling his eyes and sighing. "Emily likes you and only you.""You can't be sure," I argued, and that thought sent a painful pinch through my heart."I am fairly certain of my facts," Ghost stated gravely. "Willow told me that although numerous w
Alexander’s POV"Let me help you with that!" Angelica said, grabbing my bow tie."Don't! Touch! Me!" I growled, extending my canines to warn her.We were getting dressed in our assigned room, and the situation was already awkward with her and me sleeping in the same room.I requested a different room, but the omega in charge just shrugged, telling me there were no spare rooms available, and called Paul.Paul just laughed when I pleaded my case to him. He thought it was hilarious, and that just pissed me off."The wheels have turned in my favor," he said. "Now you're stuck with a Luna you don't want, and I can take our precious Gamma and make her mine."Luke must have heard what Paul said and quickly stepped inside, dragging my ass out of the office before I had the chance to put my hands on Paul.The audacity!Who does he think he is?Emily is MINE!"You do know I am just trying to help!" Angelica hissed. "That's what mates do! They help each other!"Luke peeked his head into our room
Emily's POV"You look beautiful, my dear," Xavier's voice echoed through the quiet foyer of the ballroom, and I turned to look back at him."So do you," I complimented back. He was dressed in a black silk tuxedo and a white dress shirt.He came closer and looked me in the eyes."Are you ready?" he asked.I reached out and fixed his bow tie and pulled my lips in a thin line, nodding.I wasn't particularly in the mood for this social gathering, but it was my duty to attend and be at Xavier's side as an official."Then let's get this party on the roll," he said, extending his arm for his blond-headed date to take.The girl had a scowl on her face and didn't look too happy about Xavier offering me attention and not her.I internally sighed.I had no romantic feelings towards Xavier; he was like a father to me, and this girl should know that. I even rejected Xavier's offer to be his date at the event.Xavier glanced in the direction of his sons and gave them a nod. They were standing patie
Emily's POV"I would love to," I said, smiling up at Luke as I placed my hand in his.Xavier tried to stop me, shaking his head and indicating he wasn't pleased by my decision."I'm just going for a dance," I told him. "I'll see you in a bit."Xavier nodded with a sigh, and Paul growled under his breath, yet I gave him no attention and followed Luke happily to the dance floor."You look breathtaking in that dress," Luke said, making me twirl under his hand to get a better look at my beautiful, delicate, and low v-neck navy-colored dress.The v-neck was complimenting my full bust, and the skirt looked like flowing water moving around me.To complete the look, I chose a pair of silver round strappy 6" stilettos, giving me the much-needed height among all these huge wolves.Sasha was tasked with braiding my hair and left some loose curls to softly frame my face. The hairdo wasn't something special or wild, but it did look natural and complemented the look."So do you, Beta," I said, plac
Alexander’s POV"Snow?" Emily squealed out in disbelief. "It is snowing!""It's not just any snow," I said, looking at her face with a grin. "Close your eyes and focus on the snowflakes."Emily hesitated with a wary smile, yet she obeyed and closed her eyes.Her eyebrows knitted together as she concentrated, and then her eyes flew open and her lips parted."Unbelievable!" She whispered in awe, her blue eyes full of wonder. "I can hear them. They are humming a melody of some sort. H-h-how, how are you doing that?" She stuttered in disbelief, her blue eyes growing wider."Something I read in a book in my father's library," I said proudly.I have spent some time looking through the old manuscript in the library, and I got stuck on a book on how to unlock and use my abilities. Some techniques were quite easy to learn and achieve, but others were a bit more complicated and needed proper focus.As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and something this small yet so beautiful took a lot
Alexander’s POV"Why the hell did you come here?" Angelica's screeching voice filled the quiet surroundings. She appeared quite distressed upon seeing the figure watching the waters from the riverbank.After tailing her through the forest, I was shocked to discover that she knew exactly where she wanted to go. A few yards away, someone was waiting for her.I could not help but feel that she was familiar with this place.Does she know the Royal Pack?Was she part of it?"I couldn't go another day without seeing you," the familiar voice answered. "It's been too long...""Do you know who Angelica is talking to?" Emily linked me, keeping her eyes pinned on the two figures standing in the dark.We found a good hiding place behind a large boulder, a short distance from the figure and Angelica's position.We had additional cover from a massive bush that was growing in front of the boulder."That sounds like someone we know," Ghost growled, spiking my interest."I can't say for sure," I repli
Emily's POVThe screeching sound of the alarm clock on the bedside table wasn't the thing that woke me this morning, but the soft and peaceful snoring of Alex next to me. He had managed to find a way to sneak out of the pack house unseen last night and surprised me by waiting for me in my office.I still had so many unanswered questions about last night, and I wished I had all the answers.My mind kept on replaying Axel's toxic words: "If it wasn't for that middling mate of his, Alex would have been dead by now!"What did he mean by that?Did Axel try to do something to Alex?My mind raced back, trying to remember if there was anything more Angelic and Axel said about Alex, but all I could remember was the conversation that followed thereafter."Is everything prepared?" Angelica asked.Axel nodded."Everything is arranged," he said. "The warriors have been divided into two groups. They will cover more ground that way tomorrow night.""Are you sure?" Angelica asked, her eyes widening.
Alexander’s POV"Where the hell have you been?" Angelica yelled angrily at me as I entered the room. I rolled my eyes, internally burning, to ask her the same question.
