Allison’s POV.I woke up to a knock at my door. I reached out to my phone to check the time. It was just 7 am.I lazily got up from my bed and went to open the door.“Good morning ma’am, Hope you slept well?” Genesis said immediately after I opened the door.“Good morning, Genesis, and I remember asking you to call me by my name yesterday,” I said as I strolled back into the room.“It’ll take time for me to get used to that Allison.” She said with a smile.I shook my head at her and sat down on the edge of my bed.“I’m here to help you get ready for the ball. I was told you’d be leaving by noon so we have to start getting you ready now.” She said.I looked her her, confused.“But it’s just past 7 am, why do I need five hours to get ready?”“I need to help you dress your hair, put on your dress, and do your makeup so I need enough time to make everything perfect.”She answered.“Okay, I guess I should go have my bath now and before you offer to help me, I can take care of my bath myself
Allison’s POV.I should have gone downstairs 5 minutes ago but I am very nervous. I was startled when I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door to find Damian.This man, this dangerously looking man in black tie, with hair the color of her prized bookshelf and eyes so blue they burned, was the one I rejected?He was too big,too male, and those eyes were far too bold.I was lost in those eyes when he coughed to bring me out of my thoughts.“Are you ready?” He asked looking at me.“Well.” I deliberately stepped out and closed the door behind me. “Shall we go?”“Sure.” He responded coolly and offered me his arm.I took his arm and we walked down the stairs together in silence.When we got outside, I took one look at the ancient and tiny sports car at the curb and wondered how I was supposed to fold myself into it wearing this gown.I felt like I was locked inside a mechanical shoebox with a giant. The drive went on with neither of us saying anything. He made a turn to where I sup
Damian’s POV.Damian’s big plan for Sunday was to sleep late, eat an enormous breakfast in bed, and spend a couple of hours training with Alex.The plane broke apart when he found himself awake and restless just after sunrise. Whenever he tried to drift back to sleep, he started to think of her. That was more irritating than getting up.There was no reason for Allison to be on his mind.The image of how breathtaking she looked when she came out of the room yesterday was still vivid in his memory. The wolf purred at the sight of her.The shimmering willow stem in white silk was nothing like the spindly little girl he remembered. Her hair was spun gold and curved sleekly around a face that might have been carved from ivory. Her eyes were a soft and misty green. He knew it was going to be a long evening.The way she got jealous and acted possessive of him when Layna came and how she shivered when I hand brushed the skin of her back. The way her lips were so pumped and tempting that I alm
Damian’s POV.After the outbreak with Sally, I went for a run and spent a couple of hours trying to sweat out the restlessness. I told myself I felt better, more alert, more clearheaded. By the time I got back to my room, I was ready for that big breakfast.Occasionally, I make my breakfast myself and today seems like a good day mto make my own meal.I stroll to the kitchen to prepare something to eat.“Good morning my prince.” One of the cooks greeted.“Good morning. You all can leave for now. I would like to make my breakfast myself.” “Alright, my prince.” She bowed and signaled the others to go out with her.I turned the stereo up to blast, pushed up the sleeves of my black sweatshirt, then put bacon on to fry. Feeling a great deal more cheerful and in control, I hummed as I mixed eggs For scrambling.When my phone rang, I answered one-handed as I scooped crisp bacon out of the pan.“So you’re up and about...” Alex boomed out at me.“Yeah, I’m up and about,” I said into the phon
Allison’s POV.I pull the covers away from me, immediately feeling whiplash from the cold sting in the air. Winter was close, the days getting shorter and the mornings now coveted in the dark.My eyes fall upon my sweater draped across the back of my study chair, so I shrug that on before heading outside.Stepping outside, my bare legs legs rise with goosebumps and I huddle into the large sweater I wore a little more. The cold felt refreshing to my skin though, and I revelled in it for a few minutes.The sky was a mixture of blue and grey day was beginning, but not freed from the dark clutches just yet.The grounds were empty, as expected. Occasionally a few maids or butlers would walk around, already having gotten up to prepare for the day ahead.Otherwise, the paths were free of wolves. My eyes fixate on the loom of the sky, bordering to where it reaches land.My head feels a little more collected than it was yesterday. After the discussion with Damian yesterday, I kept asking mysel
Alpha George.Being the Alpha of a pack comes with a lot of commitments. I’m getting old and weak and those commitments are getting too weighty for me that was why I was always disturbed by the thoughts that Damian had not found his mate.I couldn’t hand the Alpha title to him until he found his mate. Then Allison, a human I saved and saw as my daughter returned to the pack after many years and I found out they were mates, I couldn’t contain my joy. Even though they both denied being mates, I was very certain because I saw the way they looked at each other. I figured giving them some time to work things out would be good for them.That was why I made Damian attend the ball party with Allison just so they could get close and work things out and I couldn’t be more proud of myself for doing that. I plan on making an announcement tonight at the burn fire. Using my health as an excuse, I would make Damian act as the Alpha in my place until he and Allison work things out.This should make
Chapter 1.Damian is sitting in his room, feeling restless as he contemplates his current situation. He is the only son of Alpha George, the leader of the Moonlight pack, and at the age of 22, he has yet to find his mate. This fact drives him crazy because he knows he cannot become the Alpha until he finds his mate.Just then, his phone rings, interrupting his thoughts. It’s his best friend, Alex, on the other end."Hey, what's up?" Alex asks eagerly."What's up with what?" Damian replies grumpily."Really?" Alex says, "Well, I just heard from my father that Allison will be returning to the pack by the weekend," he continues with excitement in his voice."Is that why you called me?" Damian asks him."Do you even remember who Allison is?" Alex asks, noticing Damian's lack of enthusiasm.Damian pauses for a moment before responding, "Why should I be excited that that human is coming back?" he says with irritation in his voice.Alex chuckles at the other end of the line. "We used to play
Allison steps inside the pack house with a wide smile on her face, feeling a sense of nostalgia after seven long years. As she walks through the familiar corridors, she can't help but feel grateful for the Alpha who found her abandoned as a baby by the riverside in the human world and brought her to the pack house. She wonders how different her life would have been if he had left her there.As she walks down a hallway, she hears someone calling her name, and she looks up to see someone who looks like a younger version of Alex. Allison drops her bag to run and hug him, feeling joy in her heart. Alex pulls her back to look at her, marveling at how much she has grown."You've grown so big, Ally!" Alex exclaims, looking her up and down. "And you're so pretty too!" he says, crushing her back in a tight hug.Allison hugs him back, feeling grateful for his warm welcome. "You don't look bad yourself," she says when they finally pull away.He shakes his head, smiling. "I see you haven't change

Allison’s POV.I was still seated in my room, deep in my thoughts when I heard a knock.I didn’t respond immediately wondering who was at the door. When the knocking persisted, I responded.“Come in.”A young maid about my age entered and bowed.“Good day, ma’am. My name is Genesis and I’ve been appointed as your maid” she said with a smile.She smiled so beautifully that I couldn’t help but smile back in return.“Alright, Genesis,” I answered with a smile and signaled her to come in.“The Alpha prince asked me to assist you in getting ready for tomorrow’s party.”“Oh,” I responded.“So where do we start?” I asked.“I have to take your measurements and send them to the pack’s tailor so that a ball gown can be made for you,” Genesis answered.I stood up to allow her access to take the measurements. She took my measurements and when she was done, she left to give the measurements to the pack’s tailor.I don’t know why I feel so anxious about tomorrow’s ball party. I’ve never really atte
Damian’s POV.It’s a bright and sunny morning. I decided to take a walk since it’s been a while since I did. I am just about to set out of the house when I hear my father call out for me.“Damian..” he calls. I look back to see my father already working towards me.“Good morning dad, how are you doing today?” I ask him.“I’m doing fine son. I was just about to send for you.”“Really? Hope it’s nothing serious Dad. I ask worried.My father smiles and answers; “not at all son, it’s just that we got an invitation from the Alpha king. It’s his birthday celebration and he wants all Alpha to be there.”“Oh, so I guess you’re going Dad,” I say matter of factly.“That’s why I was going to send for you. I won’t be able to attend because of my health so you’ll be going in my place.” He says.I don’t say anything for a while before I finally ;” When is the party?”My father’s expression changes from worry to excitement when he sees that I’m agreeing to go with him trying to convince me.“It's
Allison's POV:"Come on, Ally, let's go for a walk," Alex says.It's been two months since I rejected Damian, and I haven't seen much of him since then. I've been hanging out with Alex a lot since he is the only one I'm free with.As I think of how my life would have been if I had accepted Damian, a headache starts to come on. Would we be happy? Would he make me feel protected and happy? I shake the thought out of my head.I look over to Alex and smile. "Alright, Alex, let's go," I say as I pull him and drag him with me out of my room.We walk out of the house to the garden area. "The weather is so nice today," I say to Alex with a smile."I know, right?" He answers, nudging me with his arm playfully.I look up to see him smiling at me. I shake my head at him and look forward as we stroll.We keep on walking, enjoying the peace and serenity of the evening until Alex suddenly asks, "How are things between you and him?"I knew who he was talking about but still went ahead to ask, "Me an
