Sophia’s POV A familiar voice interrupts my thoughts, and I turn to find Tyler making his way toward me through the crowd. His smile is warm and genuine, and he strides toward me, taking a seat beside me. “Why are you sitting here all alone, Sophia?” Tyler asks, his brow furrowed with concern. “You’re not really enjoying the party, are you?” I glance at him and force a smile. “No, Tyler, I am. It’s just... I’m not really used to these kinds of social gatherings, you know? But I’m glad you convinced me to come.” He studies my face for a moment, seemingly unconvinced by my response. “You’re hiding in your shell again, Soph. You need to try to interact more, let loose. Don’t let your shyness hold you back.” I sigh softly, realizing that I haven’t shared the progress I’ve made with him about moving out. I take a deep breath, gathering my thoughts before speaking. “Tyler, there’s something I need to tell you. I’m almost done with the preparation. I should be able to move out soon.”
Sophia’s POVMy heart skips a beat as I register the voice and gaze upon the face of the man who now stands before me. Recognition dawns upon me like a burst of light, and my mind struggles to comprehend the impossible reality unfolding before me.It’s him— the mysterious man I met one year ago, the one who has haunted my thoughts and captured my imagination. The familiarity of his presence is undeniable, yet I find myself unable to react, rooted in disbelief.He extends his hand towards me, his eyes filled with an enigmatic charm that draws me in. “May I have this dance?” he asks, his voice smooth and resonant, carrying an air of confidence that leaves no room for refusal.I glance at Tyler, who stands beside me, equally bewildered by the sudden appearance of this enigmatic figure. Before I can even utter a word, the masked man takes hold of my hand, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through my veins.With a suave and fluid motion, he pulls me away from Tyler, his steps effortl
Sophia’s POVAlexander’s face softens, his eyes glistening with unspoken emotions. In that moment, I see recognition and a depth of feeling mirrored in his gaze. The dance floor fades away, and it’s just the two of us, enveloped in a bubble of shared memories and unspoken words.With my voice barely above a whisper, I find the courage to ask the question that lingers on my lips, desperate for confirmation. “Alexander, is it really you?”He hesitates for a moment, as if weighing his response, before nodding slowly. The corners of his mouth curl up into a gentle smile that I’ve longed to see again.“It’s me,” he says, his voice carrying the same warmth and familiarity that has etched itself deep within my heart.A rush of emotions floods through me, overwhelming and yet comforting. Tears well up in my eyes as I take a step closer, my hand reaching out hesitantly, trembling with a mixture of anticipation and longing.“May I... may I see your face?” I ask, my voice barely audible amidst t
Sophia’s POVI stand still in place as i look toward Alexander, stunned by his declaration. He just called me his girl. It was so out of script and all of a sudden that it made my heart jolt. I look toward him unable to believe those words just came out of his lips.I can feel his gaze also on me and when her gazes meet, his lips arch into a rare smile that leaves me utterly speechless and my heart racing. Probably it is because I rarely ever see Alexander smile, not even in my memories. He was always distant and guarded as though someone owed him money. It feels odd and surreal to see him smile.The declaration hangs in the air, leaving Tyler and Jake stunned by Alexander’s audacity. Without wasting a moment, Jake lunges toward Alexander, his hand gripping the collar of his shirt tightly, his face twisted in anger.“Repeat what you just said!” Jake growls, his voice seething with rage. My eyes widen at Jake’s reaction, unable to comprehend the intensity of his anger. I move forward
Alexander’s POVAs I reflect on my past actions, I realize that my fear and insecurities led me to make choices that hurt Sophia deeply. I ran away from her because I couldn’t reconcile the differences between our worlds. The idea of a powerful alpha like me being in love with a human seemed inconceivable. I thought I was protecting her by staying away, shielding her from the dangers and complexities of my life.But as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, I felt an emptiness consuming me. I couldn’t deny the truth any longer—I was in love with Sophia, and I couldn’t bear the thought of losing her. It became clear that I couldn’t simply stay away and ignore the depth of my feelings.With determination in my heart, I made a decision. I would find a way to make Sophia understand and accept my world, to slowly introduce her to the intricacies of being an alpha and the life within the Shadow Moon Pack. It wouldn’t be an easy task, but I was willing to put in the effort an
Alexander’s POVAfter the encounter with Sophia’s roommates, I decide to put that thought aside for now. There are more pressing matters at hand, such as reconnecting with Sophia and introducing her to the twins, Daisy and Daniel.As I leave the party behind, I find ourselves alone in the car with the children. The atmosphere is filled with a mixture of excitement, nervousness, and anticipation. .Daisy, the younger and livelier of the twins, immediately notices my presence and voices her complaint in her adorable, childlike manner. “You’ve been away for too long, Daddy!” she exclaims, pouting slightly. Her words tug at my heart, and a smile forms on my face. It’s both heartwarming and amusing to see her reaction.I reach out to gently tousle Daisy’s hair, my eyes filled with affection. “I’m sorry, princess,” I reply, my voice warm and gentle. “Daddy had some important things to take care of, but I promise I’ll make it up to you.”As the car begins to drive off, Daisy climbs onto my l
Alexander’s POVI sit in my office, surrounded by a sea of reports and paperwork. The dim light of my desk lamp creates a cozy atmosphere, but my focus is unwaveringly fixed on the reports handed to me by one of my betas earlier today.As Alpha, it's my duty to oversee the affairs of our pack and address any internal issues that may arise. This particular report has piqued my interest, as it hints at something more sinister.

Alexander’s POVShe immediately claps in excitement and leans back into the chair. “You can’t go back on your world,” she warns. “Have I ever done so?”She nods. “Yes, you have.”I immediately look at her in surprise. I know I may not be the type to show familiarity, but it is what makes my promises golden anyway. And I don’t think I have ever gone back on my word. Especially not to the queen of trouble herself.“That’s impossible.”“You don’t remember?” She recounts, “When I got into trouble during high school after getting drunk in a bar and you promised to keep it a promise from Grandpa. Didn’t you eventually tell on me?”I finally remember and can’t help but laugh. “That’s not considered a betrayal. It was a necessary evil. Moreoever, i didn’t promise. You simply assumed I did when I didn’t respond.”“Tch...” She clicks her tongue. “You’re even more deceitful than I am.”I shake my head and clasp my palms as I regard her. She is still heavily dressed, which means she hasn’t gott
