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. I can't help but suspect foul play from those who aspire to take my place as Alpha.Furrowing my brow, I lean forward and delve into the reports, examining each line meticulously. The words blur together as I absorb the information, my mind racing to unravel the hidden truths buried within. My office becomes my fortress, shielding me from the distractions of the outside world as I immerse myself in the intricacies of our pack's affairs.Years of experience as a leader have honed my instincts, enabling me to sense the undercurrents of ambition and envy among those
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
Sophia’s POVI sit in my room, surrounded by a stack of unopened mail. I flip through the envelopes absentmindedly, my mind preoccupied with thoughts of internships and career prospects. I have applied to several hospitals, hoping to secure a position for the summer, but the lack of response is beginning to dampen my spirits.Just as I’m about to give up hope, a notification pops up on my phone screen. It’s an email from Grace Hospital, and my heart skips a beat. I eagerly click on the message, my eyes scanning the words as they appear before me.“Congratulations!” The email begins. “We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted for an internship position at Grace Hospital.”I can’t believe my luck. Out of all the hospitals I have applied to, it’s Grace Hospital that has responded first. I have heard stories about the intensity and demanding nature of internships there, especially from my friend Lily, who has completed her training at the same institution. But I am determin
Emilia’s POVI sit behind the wheel, my hands tightly gripping the steering wheel as I prepare to drive the kids to the supermarket. Alexander left for work earlier today, leaving me alone with Daisy and Daniel to babysit. But I needed some necessities so I am bringing them along for this errand. Daisy, the younger of the two, bounces in her seat with infectious excitement.“Aunt Emilia, what’s the supermarket all about? What do we do there?” Daisy’s voice is filled with genuine curiosity and eagerness.I can’t help but smile at Daisy’s enthusiasm, finding it endearing. “Well, Daisy, the supermarket is where we go to get all the things we need for our everyday life. We’ll be picking up groceries like fruits, vegetables, and other food items. And we’ll also grab some household essentials like cleaning supplies and toiletries.”Daisy’s eyes widen with wonder as she processes the information. “Wow, Aunt Emilia! Can we explore the whole supermarket? Will there be a lot of people?”I chuck
Emilia’s POV As we continue our journey through the supermarket, someone suddenly calls my name and I turn to look. To my surprise, it was Dakota, one of my high schoolmates whom I haven’t met in a long time. I pause and regard her. It’s been a long time since I last saw her but she still seems to have that air of arrogance around her. I eye her, wondering why she chose to call me and say hi when she could have walked away. We have never been on good terms anyway. “Hi,” she calls out as she walks forward. “It’s been such a long time.” I feign a smile and respond, “Yes, it’s been a long time.” Dakota looks me up and down, her eyes lingering on my face for a moment. “You haven’t changed much,” she comments casually. I raise an eyebrow, somewhat taken aback by her statement. “Well, thank you, I suppose,” I reply, not entirely sure how to interpret her words. She quickly recovers and forces a smile on her face. “You’re living a good life, I can tell,” she says, her voice tinged wit
Sophia’s POV I turn my attention to the children, a gentle smile gracing my face, and approach them with a reassuring presence. “Hey there, are you both okay?” The older brother, his voice steady despite his trembling, speaks up. “We didn’t mean to cause any trouble. My sister was just chasing the puppy, and she accidentally tripped. I’m sorry about the pearl.” I pat the boy gently on the shoulder, admiration gleaming in my eyes. “You handled that very well. Accidents happen, and it’s important to take responsibility and apologize. Let’s see if we can work things out, alright?” The woman says from behind impatiently, “I am not interested in all this pity party. Pay me up and let me go!” Probably shocked by the woman’s sudden loud voice, the young girl begins to cry. I turn to the woman and say sharply, “What is your problem? I already told you we will solve it. What was the need to scare the kids!?” “Why are you being so rude?” She fires back. “How dare you talk to me like t
