Allegra’s Pov The next morning, I quietly skipped back to the training house to get some of my stuff. As I quietly make my way to my room to grab the stuff, the familiar sounds of grunts from the training ground catch my attention. Curiosity piqued, I headed towards the training ground and spotted Miles, deep in concentration as he hones his skills. It's been a while since I last saw him, and I figure it's a good time to catch up.“Hey, Miles, what's up?” I call out, hoping to strike up a conversation.He doesn't respond at first; his focus is solely on his training. Undeterred, I approach him, repeating my greeting in hopes of getting his attention. “Miles, how are you?”This time, I'm too close for him not to hear me. That's when I realize that he's actually snubbing me. Is he for real? I try to tap him to get his attention.Finally, he turns to face me, his expression guarded and unreadable. “Don't you dare touch me,” he warns, his voice dripping with venom.Taken aback by his su
Allegra’s Pov As I sit there, indecision tortures me and tears stream down my face. Silver enters the room and sits beside me, her expression filled with concern. “What happened? Was it an argument with Miles?” she asks gently, her voice soft and soothing.I nod, unable to find the words to articulate the pain and confusion swirling inside me. “Yeah, he… he expects me to choose him over Xander,” I manage to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper.I frown. How did you even know about it? The argument just happened. Where are you already in the training house? How come I didn't see you when I came in? Where are you with Beta, Richard?”“Woah, woah, Allegra, calm down. I wasn't here, Alpha. Xander linked Richard and told him to ask me to come stay with you. Richard asked him what happened, and he told Richard you had an argument with Miles, speaking of Miles.”Silver's frown deepens, her eyes flashing with indignation. “Allegra, why are you even considering Miles' offer?” She demand
Xander’s PovAs I stride out of Allegra's room, frustration, and anger bubbling within me, I can't shake the feeling of resentment towards Miles. Why does he constantly try to wedge himself between Allegra and me? I linked Richard, my mind racing with thoughts of how to handle the situation.“Richard, tell Silver to come meet Allegra,” I instruct tersely, my voice laced with frustration.Richard's voice echoes in my mind, filled with concern. “Is everything alright? Did you guys have another argument?” He asks, his tone wary.I hesitate, not in the mood to delve into the details of my argument with Allegra. “I'm not really in the mood to talk about it,” I reply curtly. “Allegra had an argument with Miles.”I feel Richard's irritation through the link; his disapproval is evident even without words. But before he could say anything, I cut him off, the simmering anger within me threatening to boil over.Shaking my head, I try to ward off the searing pain in my chest. The intensity of my
Xander’s Pov I groan in agony, my heart aching with the knowledge of the danger Allegra faces by remaining by my side. “Allegra, please,” I plead, my voice strained with the effort of holding back the darkness. “You need to go. It's not safe.”But she refuses to heed my words, inching closer despite the blinding light and the ominous aura surrounding me. I can see the struggle etched on her face, the conflict between her desire to help me and her fear of what I might become.As my vision begins to fade and the darkness threatens to consume me, I reach out to her one last time, my fingers trembling with the effort. “I'm sorry, Allegra,” I whisper, my voice barely audible above the din of my agony. “Please, just go.”Allegra moves closer, her presence a comforting presence amidst the chaos. “Xander, hold on,” she urges, her voice laced with determination. “You're stronger than this. We'll find a way to beat this together.”I nod weakly, my resolve bolstered by her unwavering faith in m
Allegra’s PovAs I watch Xander struggle against the relentless tide of dark energy consuming him, my heart clenches with fear and desperation. Every fiber of my being longs to reach out to him, to offer comfort and support in his darkest hour. But as the blinding light emanating from his form intensifies, I find myself paralyzed by the magnitude of his suffering.“Xander,” I call out, my voice trembling with emotion as I take a hesitant step forward. “Please, you have to fight this. I'm here for you.”His anguished groans echo through the forest, each sound piercing my heart like a dagger. I can see the torment etched on his face and the struggle between his human and warlock sides raging within him. And yet, despite the overwhelming darkness threatening to consume him, I refuse to abandon him to his fate.“No, Xander, I won't leave you,” I declare, my voice firm with resolve. “I promised to stand by you, no matter what.”But even as I speak the words, doubt gnaws at the edges of my
Xander’s PovAs the realization dawned upon me that Allegra absorbed my warlock powers to shield me from harm, a whirlwind of emotions swept through me. Fear gnawed at the edges of my consciousness, mingling with gratitude and concern for her well-being. How would her body react to the influx of power? What unseen consequences might she face as a result of her selfless act? With a determined focus, I channeled my energy, willing it to return to me and release her from its grasp.With each passing moment, I could feel the familiar surge of power coursing back into my veins, the glow surrounding Allegra slowly fading as the bond between us shifted once more. But even as relief flooded through me, a faint shimmer of light remained with her; a faint glow remained with Allegra, and when she started to wake up, the glow retreated into her body, a silent testament to her sacrifice.As she began to stir, I moved closer, offering her my support as she sat up. Her eyes fluttered open, illuminat
Allegra’s Pov As I start to regain consciousness, the remnants of the power I absorbed retreat back into my body, leaving me feeling strangely invigorated yet uncertain. Slowly, I sit up, supported by Xander's reassuring presence beside me. His eyes hold a mixture of awe and concern, and I can't help but feel grateful for his unwavering support.“Xander? What happened? Why am I?” I begin, my words trailing off as the memories flood back to me. The rush of power, the blinding light, and the overwhelming sense of fear and determination. I glance at Xander, my heart pounding in my chest.I gasp, “Xander, are you alright?” I asked, my voice trembling with emotion. “I thought I was going to lose you.”His expression softens as he meets my gaze, his eyes filled with a mixture of relief and concern. “Allegra, you saved me,” he murmurs, his voice tinged with awe.I reach out to him, checking for any signs of injury, my heart racing with worry. “I'm fine, Allegra. I'm more worried about you,”
Allegra’s Pov As Xander and I were still wrapped in each other's embrace, basking in the relief of our shared moment of triumph, the tranquility of the room was shattered by the sudden arrival of Silver. Her urgency was palpable as she burst into the room, her words tumbling out in a rush. “Uhmm, Alpha Xander, sorry to interrupt, but Richard needs your help outside,” she blurted out, her eyes darting between us.Xander pulled away from me reluctantly, a fleeting look of disappointment crossing his features before he planted a light kiss on my lips. The gesture sent a flutter of warmth through me, and I couldn't help but smile as he hurriedly made his way out of the room.Silver watched him go with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, and before I could react, she let out a teasingly exaggerated sigh. “Awwww, young love,” she cooed, her voice dripping with mock sentimentality.I couldn't help but laugh at her antics, the tension of the moment dissipating as her playful teasing washed ov
